editor Anthony Marro said in the
paper’s Saturday editions that he
believes the two have been de­
tained by the Iraqi government.
Molly Bingham, a freelance pho­
tographer from Louisville, Ky„ and
Danish freelance photographer
Johan Rydeng Spanner also are
unaccounted for in Iraq.
In 1999, Jackson negotiated the
release o f three U.S. servicemen
being held as prisoners o f war in
Yugoslavia. In 1991, he traveled to
Baghdad and Iraqi-occupied Ku­
wait City and won the release o f 47
U.S. citizens, many ofwhom were ill
and had been under siege in the
U.S. Embassy there fora month.
He has had sim ilar successes in
Syria and Cuba.
Jackson said he hopes to amass
a delegation o f religious leaders to
help in securing the release o f the
journalists — if they indeed are
beingheld asw ellasU .S.prison­

in Iraq.
“ Each time I have gone to bring
Americans home, it wasal ways with
a group o f religious leaders who
had contacts with religious leaders
there,” Jackson said. “ When politi­
cal forces arc hostile, the religious
orders usually maintain some rap­
port. I would hope that is the case
here."

(AP) — The vast antiwar
movement in the world shows
that a "large part of humanity”
has rejected the idea of war as
a means of resolving conflicts
between nations, Pope John
Paul II said in a message re­
leased last week.
The pope, a staunch oppo­
nent of the U.S.-led war in
Iraq, sent his message to Ro­
man Catholic military chap­
lains attending a Vatican-or­
ganized course on humanitar­
ian law.
He said that the course was
being held “at a difficult mo­
ment in history, when the world
once again is listening to the

repudiated war as an instru­

He cited the “vast contempo­
rary movement in favor o f
peace” around the world and
said he took "comfort and hope”
from the efforts for peace by
various religions.
In the months before the Iraq
war began, John Paul lobbied in
favor of a negotiated solution,
saying there was no legal or
moral justification for military
action.

A Religious Perspective on Health, Hope and Healing
How to find the ‘Eight Doctors of Prevention’ within the pages ofthe bible

F or T he P ortland O bserver
In order to draw a line o f distinc­
tion between G od’s way o f healing
and man’s medical agenda, you
have to study the genuine in order
to detect a very good counterfeit.
Please do not misunderstand me,
if you have a heart attack or stroke
or you are in an accident and need
a life saving surgery, acute care in
America is second to none in the
world. I am talking about disease
and the disease process, which
begins with body chemistry.
In side the pages ofthe Bible art-
many books on specific topics such
as finance, architecture and ship
building. It also contains the great-

In order for God to bless you
with health (III John 2), you have to
know these eight health principles
and how to apply them to your daily
life. It's like being adoerofthe word
and not just a hearer.
As simple as the eight health
principles are people, neglect them
because they are not being taught,
but because we have become slaves
to our taste buds. These eight doc­
tors o f disease prevention protect
your body chemistry and keep it in
balance in order for you toachieve
optimal health.
Ifyou read carefully the book o f
Leviticus, God explains to Moses
the laws o f disease prevention and
hygiene, for example, quarantine,
w ashing, fasting and cleaning.
Moses, not knowing about micro­
scopic organisms was instructed
to have the people wash or throw
away unclean vessels (Lev. 6:28,
15:12).
In the weeks to come I will ad­
dress the scientific and therapeutic
value o f ‘G O D ’S PLA N ’ and its
practical, daily application to health
and restoration.
