Facts On Mental Illness In USA

[WarriorHadassah]

America is always using a scapegoat for ones own problems that was created on this land. Below are evidences of how unstable America truly is. Not every problem in America is a Black, Immigrate, Muslim or Homosexual problem that is destroying America. I have read many comments in racial tone of hatred, so hatred begins within the HEART. How can LOVE of Jesus reside in the heart with hatred. It is time for us to look into the mirror that is why I pray every day to God. Lack of Prayer is the destruction of Believers(world) and sin is through out the nation in every form. Change begins within my heart! There is an AGENDA and one day masses will understand that AGENDA!

And with a president quick to cut mental health funding and opening our doors to refugees that are Known to have terrorists embedded in them, you can be sure Muslim immigrants and mental health issues will both continue to rise. So what's your point?

You sound like you have a progressive agenda.

I don't believe for one second that progressive agendas are incompatible with personal religion. If you can have a right wing republican agenda and be Christian, you can have a left wing democratic agenda and be Christian. There are no such things as definitive American values, or definitive JudeoChristian values for that matter.

As Yori Yanover from the Jewish Press writes:

The American political system, with its direct voting for a local representative, is much more in line with rabbinic tradition than the Israeli system, in which one votes for a slate, often one based on ideology. Government’s job is to help improve my living conditions, not my morality.
Klinghoffer [An American Conservative Republican writer] writes:

As an Orthodox Jew, I offer this book as a call to arms to America’s mostly Christian conservative voters.
​

And:

John McCain was right when he said, in a 2000 interview on beliefnet.com, that our “nation was founded primarily on Christian principles. ” That fact should have practical consequences.
​

Klinghoffer proceeds to contrast these views with those of whom he dubs the “New Atheists.” But I suspect that inside the Orthodox Jewish world, Klinghoffer would have a hard time convincing anyone of the need to apply “practical consequences” to the Christian principles upon which this country was, supposedly, founded.
He would likely hear angry grumbling on topics like the Crusades, during which Christian zealots decimated Jewish communities. He might hear a thing or two about how the Inquisition applied its Christian values to destroy the thriving Jewish centers of Spain and Portugal. Or he might hear about the European Holocaust and our annihilation at the hands of our faithful Christian neighbors. Pope Pious XII’s name might pop up in that context, as an example of how conservative Christian leaders responded when Jews were swept away in rivers of their own blood.
But even if we were to forgive Klinghoffer’s imperfect awareness of Jewish history, the very assumption of such a thing as universally accepted Christian principles is patently wrong, just like the notion that the U.S. Constitution is based on them.
Klinghoffer must be familiar with historian Brooke Allen’s popular book Moral Minority (Ivan R. Dee, 2007), in which she shows that the six most important founders—Franklin, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Hamilton—were Enlightenment-style deists, who rejected the notion of making religion a basis for political life.
They valued the separation of church and state. They devoted a passage in the US Constitution to eschewing religion as a basis for political life. They talked about God the “Divine Author” (Washington) or the “Superior Agent” (Jefferson). The Founding Fathers weren’t atheists—nobody was in the 18th century. (Nobody except Thomas Paine, that is.) But to suggest that someone like George Washington would look to the Bible to “apply practical consequences” to political life is tantamount to telling a lie—which we have on reliable tradition that our first president was incapable of doing.
Putting aside the argument over historical revisionism, try Googling “Christian principles” and see if you can come up with any meaningful consensus. I couldn’t.

You're misrepresenting the issue. The framers of the US constitution didn't eschew religion from government, but very wisely based on past experience prohibited the federal government from establishing a state religion. Christian influence in government is not the same thing as mandating a state religion. Heck, the foundational structure of the US government comes from the bible.

For the LORD is our judge [judicial], the LORD is our lawgiver [legislative], the LORD is our king [executive]; it is he who will save us. Isaiah 33:22​

One thing I like about you, Omni, we usually don't have to read past your first line to see your mistakes.

Abortion on demand is the holy grail of the progressive (aka, liberals, socialists, communists) agenda. And yes, it most definitely is incompatible with having faith in God.

 

[Viligant_Warrior]

As I said on another thread, amateurs shouldn't dabble in mental healthcare issues. They are dangerous.

Awesome!

You seem to have nailed the foundation of the 'States United' (I won't call it The United States until the States have their sovereignty, rights, power, authority, and own destiny back.

Hello All,

I came from the House of Worship and the message was on Joshua about courage. I believe everyone needs courage in God to stand against depression, anxieties, defeated, oppression, and pain. No weapon form against me shall prosper against me because stronger in Jesus in Me then those of the world.

[h=1]Joshua 1[/h][h=3]God Commissions Joshua[/h]1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' assistant, 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel. 3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses. 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your territory.5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you. 6Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. 7Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success[a] wherever you go.8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Courage in facing emotional and mental health disorders is not found in "standing strong" against them. It is found in the weakness to admit we need the help and intervention of both Christ, and those we trust.

You sound like you have a progressive agenda.

Not only that this person has expressed real doubts about the apostle Paul and his epistles ... I think we should take everything this member post with some question of the intentions "she" has.

The real topic of the thread:

As some knows, I have a Chemical Imbalance, revealing itself it the past as paranoid schizophrenia, Before I got the help, I was so "crazy" that I scared myself.

Thanks.

Mine issue is cyclic depression that results from treatment of epileptic seizures. God provided two pills for the seizures, and two for the depression. I have been seizure free for three years, and depression free for over a year. I know that VW is correct. Anyone with a mental disorder covets your prayers of encouragement to seek qualified medical treatment.

"Hadassah" is the name Esther was born with, but as with all the Jews who rose to prominence in the Babylonian and Medeo-Persian empires, they were given Aramaic names. Ancient Jews accepted her name as being Esther, so why modern Jews feel the need to re-rename her is mostly aggressive Semetic traditionalism.

 

[WarriorHadassah]

Good Evening,

Beautiful night!



Luke 6

27 “But I say to you who listen: Love your enemies, do what is good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.29 If anyone hits you on the cheek, offer the other also. And if anyone takes away your coat, don’t hold back your shirt either. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and from one who takes your things, don’t ask for them back. 31 Just as you want others to do for you, do the same for them. 32 If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.33 If you do what is good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners to be repaid in full. 35 But love your enemies, do what is good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High.For He is gracious to the ungrateful and evil. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

I am so sorry, Esther, Shalom. I was off base, I didn't know, I spoke in ignorance, please forgive me.

Thanks, Viligant!
