Is it true that “you are your genes”? That physical vulnerabilities, intelligence, temperament, and other characteristics are largely determined by the genes we inherited from our parents?
Many instances of hereditary problems being healed through prayer that relies on God’s supreme power have been recorded in the Bible, as well as in this publication. These healings furnish proof that genes do not have actual power over one’s being—and that an understanding of what truly controls our individuality can bring freedom from the apparent dictates of genetics. The Word of God reveals this understanding.
There is a distinct contrast between the spiritual view of individual identity delineated by the Word of God and the material view saying that predetermined characteristics are passed down from generation to generation via the molecular language of DNA.
