Why didnt God cure Schizophrenia

Why didn't God heal my stepmother from her paranoid schizophrenia?

On the topics of B.C. The more the believer knows Scripture the less they will need a biblical counselor outside of it.

A: 1. "Having" a disease or illness has nothing to do with counseling. Counseling, Medication and Prayer (prayer...in case it is demonic possession of an unsaved person; as we see Jesus stating, or medication& nutrition helps....if its possibly a lack of certian nutrition, or Counseling... if its something broken in the mind) can help, but there is no guarantee of healing from it like when Jesus was on Earth bcuz those healings and removal of posessions were happening as a sign to prove His deity.

This has some info on Schizophrenia to examine, as it's not a medical/physical issue. 

2. Being in a sin stained world (due to mans decision which caused the fall) is not God's fault. It is mans fault. 

*There can be rare deformities of the mind, but the most typical mental problems are associated with the persons own sin nature. 

3. Nowhere in Scripture does God promise (in context) that he will heal people from physical issues in this sin stained world. This world is scared with illness, disease suffering and death. But being the loving Creator (who made us to fellowship with), and loving Father he has gone to great lengths to fix the problem
*of Death and Judgment & Hell
*Not stuck in this sin stained world and body eternally
*By Christ's sacrifice we can be born again; this as Scripture reveals is the cure. We are spiritual beings in need of an eternal solution. Once we have the cure [have Him, by Salvation] we have a righteous nature, can live rightly so we sin less; we kill sin in our lives more and more so there is less sin affecting the world... but ultimately our problem is solved - because of sin we die and are judged. With Christ we are free from the eternal damnation that the curse brought to humans. We recieve eternal life when we die and a sin free body - enter a sin free place God is bringing us to.

So until the Plan is complete, until the Rapture happens, or we die - we are stuck in this sin stained place of sorrow and pain and suffering. Including the body with the problem if it can't be cured.

Hope that helped.

What we all need to do is not grumble and be bitter about life but to simply live in Christ, follow Him, trust The Word God left us and live by it knowing He is with us (believers) thru this  life (valley of the shadow of death), in every difficulty we encounter including any messes we make from our own sins, and when we encounter suffering and pain in any form [i have incurable cancer] we trust Him ...and know life in this body is temporary & we are just traveling thru this world on our way to that glorious home to be with our God. Our focus needs to be on Christ and Heaven, the eternal things that matter. And minister to and help each other along the way there.

I am sorry to hear about your stepmother but am glad it seems you cared about her. 🤗
