In His Original Creation, There Was No Sickness

saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the
morning were the sixth day.”
If you look up the word translated “very,” it is the word for “mighty.” So, I guess we’re accurate
in the southern United States when we say, “That was mighty good.” We’re correct with the
original Hebrew language. “Mighty” meaning “powerful good,” which is another way of saying
“very.” “Very” is great, but I like “mighty.” It might even be more accurate. “Mighty good.”
God saw everything that He made, and it was mighty good. How about God? God is mighty.
He’s powerful good. He is mighty good, and everything He made was good. When did He make
the bad things? When did God create cancer? On the first day? On the third day? When did God
create AIDS? On what day? What part of the creation? When did that come into being during
His creation? First, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth day? On what day did He create arthritis? He
didn’t! Sickness and disease are not part of God’s original creation. You can’t look at cancer and
say, “Behold, it is very good.” You can’t look at AIDS, abscesses, tumors, growths, and
inflammation, and say, “Behold, those tumors are very good. Behold, those abscesses and
growths are mighty good.” No. They are not good. Sickness is not good.
I know this sounds simplistic, but there are still millions of Christians who will tell you, “Well,
maybe God had some kind of purpose in it. I know it’s an awful thing, but really, I think maybe
it was a blessing in disguise.”
It’s either good or it’s bad, and God did not confuse us. Everything that God made was mighty
good—mighty fine and mighty good. Everything was good, including Adam and Eve. Do you
believe Adam was “defect-free”? Eve was “deformity-free”? They had no flaws or deformities.
They had no disease in them at all. They were brilliant. They were magnificent, weren’t they?
Their bodies were perfect, and their minds were amazing. They talked with God in the afternoon
about things He wanted to talk about, and they understood them.
I’m sorry, but I don’t accept the version of them sitting in a cave naked going, “Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.”
I don’t believe it. There may be some people who fell to near animalistic states centuries after
creation, but no, Adam and Eve were brilliant and perfect. In their brilliant state, if you would
have told them, “I have a headache,” they would have looked at you puzzled and said, “A what?”
“A headache. I have a headache, a migraine.”
“A what? What is that?”
“My head hurts. It’s pounding.”
They’d look at you like… “What?” They had nothing with which to reference it. Nothing. They
didn’t know what it was like to have an “off” day. “I just feel a little off today. I don’t know…
I’m a little bit slow, a little bit weak.”
They wouldn’t even understand what you were talking about, because when God made them, He
made them perfect, whole, and strong. If disease pleased the Father, He would have made them
