No. I think of faith healers as scumbags who prey on the weak.
They have been caught faking it over and over.
Why Won't God Heal Amputees?
Possibly, but most often abused, to often claimed, and subject to wide egocentric abuse.
Nope.
I never thought of that. And as money hungry those jerks are they would be tripping over themselves to get there. Great point.
No, your in the right place. Nothing paranormal with faith healers, just sleight of hand and power of suggestion.

But since nobody else seems to have asked....why do you believe in them? Based upon what evidence?

Have any of you guys heard of like something called placebos, music therapy and **** like that?
The placebo effect is also a factor in these things. Miracles are confined to Bible times and they were only a foregleam of things to come under the rulership of God's Kingdom......todays modern faith healers are charlatans for the most part and delusional for the other.
If its the same holy spirit in operation then we would see 100% success rate, as it was in the first century......we clearly do not see such a success rate, and many people's faith is shattered by the suggestion that a failure is their fault.
We were not to identify Christianity by its tricks...but by the qualities of "faith, hope and love" in its adherents. So who fits the bill?
I believe positivity can help people with medical conditions. Faith healing could possibly support some folks with their positivity. Positive people recover from an illness faster.
Positive people heal faster: research

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Everybody knows that Faith healing only works in obscure remote places in Africa were the account is entirely undocumented and lacking any type of evidence or proof whatsoever which is the very definition of faith.
