You can’t easily then say, lets fix a broken soul by healing it as the soul when all efforts are to replace the soul with the regenerated spirit. It just doesn’t work unless you ignore the logic.

Who knows how many cases have caused the need for the BB’s to try to adjust this point. They’ve made an official concession here, possibly. Maybe its still a bald-faced lie, as so much of what they say is, I’m offering another possible explanation only…they may have recognised the need to release those suffering to receive help, and found it really did help them. Now they’re attempting to wordsmith it to reconcile it to WL’s teachings, which I don’t think is possible.

that's my offering on this topic. They have a lot to answer for, (but then probably, so do I)!
Of course Christ is the Great Physician and healer in all matters. I have certainly experienced Him healing both soul and body, as many of us have. However, He is not limited - period. Many Christians, including myself, have experienced positives coming through professionals. And I've had the sense that the Lord led me to them and used them.

I do also think that He is capable of directly healing so much more in our lives, if we had faith and let Him! Yes, many professionals abuse their practice - I've experienced doctors prescribing drugs - in an almost automatic manner - for apparent mental issues, when that was not the correct diagnosis at all (it was actually low blood sugar). But regardless, He loves us, so He can use a plethora of things and people at His disposal to help us in our need.
