Ya. Without Him, we can do nothing. Where we differ is that you see this as a an "opportunity" for men, whereas I see it as God's sovereignty. I see no such thing as free volition for fallen men or prevenient grace in the Bible. I only see sovereign grace given from God's free will. Really the...

Then you would have to believe that natural man is dead in trespasses and sins, not only sick, but dead in them, thus totally unable before regeneration to respond to God's calling and do of His good pleasure. So, God first quickens the dead sinful man and then he believe, then he respond, then...

Here's a take on it:

Yes, indeed, from these things one can be healed and delivered.

Yes! You are making an extremely important point here. Science, medical doctors, academics, meds, social workers, cops...what have we of today...can't wholly solve the problem. But He can.

Add to this such as MSG, artificial sweeterners etc. WHO is running these businesses behind the scenes?

Yes, interesting to see a differentiation there between possession and mental disease. Let's just not make this thread a debate about "which Bible version is best?", we got one such already.

For sure reading up on things is well. I have read books years ago on this issue, probably outdated today. However, the lack of medicine and academical framework to battle these diseases had already been addressed by another user in this thread. This is a bigger issue at hand. Taken...

I said in post #7 that this thread is not about stigmatizing. I don't know where you lost me or misunderstood me, but you did. If you read my posts here closely you'd see that I'd make a difference also between people who are "fools" before God and how God's Word is seen by the world as...

You address many problems here, primarily that secular society and health care cannot really get into this problem sufficiently. Then there's a wide range of psychological problems where some clients get to join churches but are not fully recovered whereas other do find liberty. And, yes, all...

I want to insert an underline that this thread in no way deals with mental illness as a stigmatized or shameful issue. This is an issue I believe we have not talked much about either among ourselves or to the public. We have talked a lot and written many books about spirit but not the mind...

Hello? Can you calm down? There was no calvinist vs arminian debate here. My post that you quoted was about misrepresenting beliefs.

How would you consider this scripture? So this unsound mind, mind sickness, mental disease, mental illness, even if a christian may have such, does not come from God. Or does it? While christians can be mislead by false teachings it can be debated whether or not that such christians...

Idols and graven images are not only about physical objects. You can have a false christ engraved in your heart that you worship as an idol. False ideas about God and false gospels are idolatry all along. So people can pride themselves in and boast about "oh, I don't worship Mary", yet if they...

Race trumps gender, so it's the whiteyness that got them wolves running.

At these open christian boards there tend to be people coming on from time to time with real bizarre and extremely lunatic views on certain matters. Often are these contentions accompanied with (false) accusations and unrighteous judgments. Sometimes it's even bordering on curses. Now, seeing...

Yes. In Geneva there was some control and quiet a harsh regime as well. i do not fancy all of calvinist history.

Before you go on, try to look more into what other people believe and educate yourself about same rather than to misrepresent what they believe. There are some errors in your remarks, which are hereby corrected. T - Calvinists do not believe that the law is too grievous for the regenerate to...

So you deny what Ephesians 2 says?

Open christian discussion boards draw them goofies like sugar draw the flies. Report such, I say. This said, the delusions and confused insanity that abound these days are indeed a sign of the end coming soon.
