"Try Christianity without the religion. Look at what Jesus said for yourself. He had no use for religion either."
"I don't get it, could you please explain that to me."
You should read the New Testament and pay very close attention to the things Jesus said. Especially concerning the healings he did.
To blindly take someone's word for these things is what religion is all about. That means everything you believe has to be approved by some "higher
up"
in your church and all of your beliefs are filtered through some "approved doctrine". But who approved it? And where do they get the authority to say
how to believe anything?
You are in bad physical shape. You want out of that condition. Obviously, if there is anything you can do to change that (as far as your thinking or emotions
or feelings) to improve your condition, you are not doing it right. So, you have to change your thinking on the subject. Change your perspective.
So go to the source. Jesus never came across a sickness he could not heal and he gave a lot of advice on how to change our points of views,..our perspective on
this and other subjects.
If your parents "religion" isn't helping, and your doctors don't know what to do, then their perspective and resources are not sufficient for
what you need to do. So, read what Jesus said about it. He obviously knows something that they don't.
I'm not saying that they don't mean well and wish they could help, I'm just saying their resources are not up to your needs in this situation. So
find out for yourself. Read the book. Make your own descisions about what it is saying and what it means.
