The Bible does not teach divine healing for the followers of Jesus in the present life, nor at this time for anyone. Christians are to lay down our lives in sacrifice.

If the good and bad will go to the same place, then what is the comeuppance of evil doers? In Isaiah 14:15, God also told the devil: "Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit." Please explain this. (Nigeria)

You say there is no such place as hell (a place of eternal torment). What the meaning of Matthew 25:41, “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.’” (Nigeria)
God’s judgment against unrighteousness is unalterable and eternal. He declared unto Adam that in the day he disobeyed he would die.
