    Shepherds For Sale by Megan Basham - Beware

    I dunno 🤷‍♂️ The super rich have a long history of distorting doctrine in some segments of Protestantism in the USA 🇺🇸…. Mostly towards the right wing sometimes to the point of being reactionary. The lesson here may simply be that the super rich enjoy reshaping all aspects of society to suit...

    NOT trying to be controversial, but these are the questions I joined to ask....

    Reading the Bible without..,or before..being genuinely converted is.., Not pleasant. I fell asleep often when I tried to back in the day. But… Jesus Christ opened my heart and eyes…after I was able to genuinely repent and gradually allow myself to be instructed by Christ.

    [__ Prayer __] Reality…it’s a good thing…

    Me yet again lol 😆 The mental health people say I’ve made more progress in recovery. Thing is… I kind of think 🤔 that some of my schizophrenia is/was a reaction to all the brain damage stigma and trauma of so called treatment. Not that unusual really… It’s how mental patients are created…and...

    Bible Study Repentance.

    Repentance is key 🔑 to a Christian life. I remember an illustration on a reformed Christian website…maybe rc sproul… 2 lines run parallel and then one turns at a 90 degree angle 📐 and both lines continue on in their respective directions.

    How Did Christians Dealt with Mental Illness Before Therapy Existed?

    I dunno 🤷‍♂️ Especially with severe diagnoses there’s often a lot of poverty abuse trauma… Plus as dissident psychiatrist Dr.Thomas Szasz puts it by the early 20th century the church gave up the care of sick souls.

    How Did Christians Dealt with Mental Illness Before Therapy Existed?

    In the mid to late 19th century the Quakers established asylums that practiced moral treatment. It meant having a decent living environment listening to sermons and being give constructive activities during the day. And… It wasn’t a quick fix but something like 70 percent of people were...

    Hi Marianne333 … You’re in my prayers. Doctors 🥼 etc…often not at all pleasant to deal with.

    Bible Study Letting the Enemy In.
