Sickness and disease is the work of Satan and evil spirits (Job 2:7; Luke 13:16; Acts 10:38; 1 Cor. 5:5). While there are passages in the English translations of the Bible that implicate God as the source of sickness, those who refer to them to make a case for this fail to understand Hebrew idioms, particularly the "idiom of permission" in which God is often said to do the thing that He merely permitted.
