Prescribing Jesus Gets Doctor Censured

[MARGATE, England] "A Christian doctor in England has been threatened with an official warning from his professional body for discussing Jesus with a patient, The (London) Sunday Times reported.

Richard Scott, a doctor for 28 years, is under investigation by the General Medical Council (GMC) and faces disciplinary action after he suggested to a 24-year-old man that he might find solace in Christianity.

Scott, who practices at a medical center in Margate, east of London, well known for having Christian doctors, insists he only raised his spiritual beliefs after carrying out a thorough and lengthy consultation, during which medical checks and referrals for further care were arranged.

When the man's mother inquired of the consultation, however, her son apparently replied, "He just said I need Jesus." This prompted his mother to refer Scott to the GMC, claiming that he had not offered medical advice during the consultation but instead talked about Jesus..."

It is always right to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Why are they intolerant of Christianity in England?

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Here's some medical advice for ya'll... take some aloe vera in the casket with you when you croak..."

Aloe vera? Isa. 33:14; Matt. 18:8; 25:41; Mark 9:48.

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "It's been that way since 1534."

I know that. Lk 19:13.

Response to comment [from other]: "No, it's annoying and inappropriate..."

Mk 8:38.

Response to comment [from other]: "It strikes me that this case isn't so much about Christianity anyway but rather whether the doc was fulfilling his medical obligations to the patient."

He did that and more. What's wrong with that? Mk 9:47.

"In essence nothing as long as he wasn't browbeating the patient..."

That's correct.  He did nothing wrong. 

Response to comment [from an atheist]: "What if the Doctor had prescribed going to a mosque and finding solace in Allah and Mohammad?"

Pagan moon gods cannot help you (Matt. 4:24; Matt. 8:16).

"...then Jewish-Zombie-Man-God help you!"

Tell us what you know about the Bible.

If the Bible is false you have nothing to loose.  If it is true, you have everything to loose (No Escape from: Job 11:20; Prov. 1:24–31; Prov. 11:21; Prov. 16:5; Prov. 29:1; Jer. 11:11; Jer. 15:1; Jer. 25:28, 29; Amos 2:14–16; Zeph. 1:18 Ezek. 7:19. Matt. 10:28; Matt. 23:33; Rom. 2:3; Col. 3:25; Heb. 2:3; Heb. 12:25).

Response to comment [from other]: [Doctor's prescription] "In essence nothing as long as he wasn't browbeating the patient..."

That's correct. He did nothing wrong.

Response to comment [from a Christian]: [P66] So what?

P66 is the queen of denial. Don't bring up things like: God, hell, the reality of gender.

"...In dealing with the denial of the reality of hell, sometimes we find it helpful to say, 'You know, it is a fact of psychology that we deny most passionately those things we fear most desperately. I wonder if the reason you don't believe in hell is that deep down in your soul you fear that if there is such a place you might go there.'" Kennedy, pg. 170.

Response to comment [from an atheist]: "Prove that God exists.  Prove that Hell exists.  Prove that gender disorders do not exist. Go!"

You are now seeking God's truth? (Jn 3:19-20, 2 Cor 4:4).
