Religious theories; rational choice

One of several religious theories is proposed here with some verses from the King James Bible.

The belief that sin is the source of affliction
profaned by Jesus for the salvation of any that be-
lieve on Him.

40:004:023 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their
synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and
healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among
the people

42:009:006 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the
gospel, and healing every where.

42:009:011 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he
received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and
healed them that had need of healing.


44:004:022 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of
healing was shewed.

44:010:038 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and
with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that
were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

46:012:004 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

46:012:005 And there are differences of administrations, but the same
Lord.

46:012:006 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same
God which worketh all in all.

46:012:007 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to
profit withal.

46:012:008 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to
another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

46:012:009 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of
healing by the same Spirit;

46:012:028 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles,
secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles,
then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of
tongues.

46:012:030 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do
all interpret?

66:022:002 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the
river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of
fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of
the tree were for the healing of the nations.


Here I turn to the Old Testament...

24:014:017 Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine eyes
run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for
the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great
breach, with a very grievous blow.

24:014:018 If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the
sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are
sick with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go
about into a land that they know not.

24:014:019 Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul lothed Zion?
why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we
looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of
healing, and behold trouble!

24:030:011 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I
make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee,
yet I will not make a full end of thee: but I will correct
thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether
unpunished.

24:030:012 For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy
wound is grievous.

24:030:013 There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound
up: thou hast no healing medicines.

24:030:014 All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I
have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the
chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine
iniquity; because thy sins were increased.
