I don’t hate cammie, or wish cammie any ill will, far from it, I pray for people like this, who have this same attitude, my ex was the same way. They think that only man can solve man’s problems, and if confronted with a different point of view, like maybe man does not have all the answers, but perhaps, a spiritual answer is the key to wellness, they fly off the handle and lash out, because that would mean they have to confront themselves, and that is more than they can bear.

There are many reasons that one may wish to pray for another, but please do not waste prayers for me on this issue - it’s very simple, mental illness is illness, not a lack of spiritual awareness.

Well, at least retardation is a ligitmate mental illness, not like made up ones, headshrinkers use to get rich off.

I made the case with post 52, if you disagree, that this is what is happening now in our Country, I am more than happy for someone to show me why I am wrong for saying this.

Psychology provides phony excuses for incompetence, rebellion and sin. No one is guilty; everyone is a victim. The heart is not evil; low self-esteem is the problem. Sin has become "mental illness" requiring not repentance but therapy.

Did you know that at one time Psychology once classified homosexuality as "mental illness," but now that has changed, to where today, we are told we must accept it, because they were born this way, or it's just an "alternate lifestyle." sorry it's sin, and if that offends you or anyone else, that's not my problem, take your complaint to God.

I know a lot about “Psychology” and “Psychiatry” and the state of these so called sciences in our modern world. Quite a lot.

Please go start another thread where you can bark and bray about your issues.

I know very well about sin as well.

But like the Lord, I am not going to make snap judgments with people I do not know online. Please follow His example and STOP WHILE YOU ARE BEHIND.

Oh, do you mean like these snap judgments that were made about me, in this thread, from someone I do not know oniline?

"Your self-righteousness is staggering"
"Amazing to me that you would claim to know the mind of God"
"you are so incredibly ignorant"

Are those the type of "snap" judgments your talking about?

I don’t know what you are writing about, I just think this issue of psychology versus our sin nature or human nature is much bigger than the scope of a thread on suicide is murdering yourself.

I have no desire to continue discussion, so I will ask you to cordially oblige me in Him.

Ok, I’ll give you the last word, on the subject, but just know, since I see your new, that sometimes threads on FR, will take on a life of their own. That is the beauty of this forum. Have a very nice and blessed day! (and I really mean it)
