My point is that health is a spiritual issue but not everybody believes that. I perosnall do not use medicine but not everybody has spirit like mine. I am very close to God and I know that he does not punish those who go to doctors. He simply offers a better way.
I am saying that there will be no doctors in heaven and th bible says we should experience the blessings of heaven here on earth.

But there isn't any sin, illnes, crime, poverty or even hunger in heaven. So why would there be doctors? Nothing that can cause physical or mental illnes is present, so there is no reason for doctors to be in heaven.
I think this is slightly right, but not in the way he/she might think. I have seen news articles and reports that claim that people who have a higher level of stress and/or depression are more likely to be sick. I don't have any sources at the moment, but just wait.
There was an interesting study released recently regarding prayer and illness (specifically post-operative infections).
Oh, and by the way, health is, by definition, a PHYSICAL or MENTAL issue, not a spiritual one.
I wonder if this person even cares that western hospitals throughout history were heavily involved with christianity, even today. I mean, off the top of my head, I can think of New York Presbyterian Medical Center, St. Vincents Hospital, Penn Presbyterian, St. Lukes Hospital, St. Josephs, etc.
Confused?
