Is it sinful in Christianity receive physical therapy?
I asked a similar question about sperm banks and it was considered sinful due to masturbation. Well, physical therapy is another form of human contact, and could be a technique used for relaxation and well, you get the point. Both can be contributed to helping someone. If you say yes to one or the other, you must believe your being hypocritcal.
I don’t know how a man can produce sperm without lust involved, and Jesus said that if you look at another person with sexual desire (ie lust), you are already guilty of adultery.
Physical therapy has nothing to do with sex or lust. If PT is sinful, then going to ANY doctor would have to be sinful.
Your question is like comparing apples to oranges – they (the 2 you mentioned) don’t relate.
It is not being hypocritical to go to a PT or go to a dr. for pain in your side, or to any other specialist in the medical profession.
Of course, you might then say that the doctor does not allow you to have faith in God, so THAT might be seen as hypocritical, but I believe that God gave them the wisdom to find the cures we rely on, etc. and so forth.
