1.I just think his cognitive reason may be a little off. It may not be, but that would explain to me why we keep going over the same things and they don't click for him. That's great, and I hope so....it's the power of reason I only question.

2. I meant no disrespect....

1. I was just saying I believe his injury has had nothing to do with his reasoning ability. In fact I'm sure Solo will base the reason for his injury on Rom. 8:28 and Eph. 1:11 - in fact he might even say God has used it for the good and that the injury has made him the better saint for it.

2. Honestly - I think think you were being disrepectful - I just believe your assessment was not accurate. :o

Fair enough...

Thanks AV.
After two psychoneurological evaluations in the last two years (Each evaluation consists of an entire eight hour day of taking various tests) My neuroligist said that my cognitive skills are way above average, and that the brain damage is isolated to the frontal lobe area. I also was one of a handful of brain injured individuals who maxed the physical therepy evaluation. The main problems that I currently have are motivation, multi-tasking, short-term memory, frustration, and other frontal lobe functions. My left frontal lobe was the most damaged area.

FRONTAL LOBES--Planning, Organizing, Controlling

The biggest and most advanced part of the brain is the frontal lobe. (It's called the frontal lobe because it's in the front part of brain.) One job of the frontal lobe is planning. You have probably heard of "frontal lobotomies." At the turn of the century, this surgery was done on people who were very violent or who were in a psychiatric hospital because they were very agitated. Doctors used surgery to damage this area of the brain. Following this surgery, people became very passive and less violent. At first, scientists saw this as a great thing. Neurosurgery could stop behavioral problems such as violence. The problem was that the patients stopped doing a lot of other things. They didn't take care of themselves and they stopped many activities of daily living. They basically sat there. In head injury, individuals with frontal lobe impairment seem to lack motivation and have difficulty doing any task that requires multiple steps (e.g., fixing a car or planning a meal). They have problems with planning.

The frontal lobe is also involved in organizing. For a lot of activities, we need to do step A, then step B, then step C. We have to do things in order. That's what the frontal lobes help us do. When the frontal lobe is injured, there is a breakdown in the ability to sequence and organize. A common example is people who cook and leave out a step in the sequence. They forget to add an important ingredient or they don't turn the stove off. I've met a lot of patients who've burned or melted a lot of pans.

Additionally, the frontal lobes also play a very important role in controlling emotions. Deep in the middle of the brain are sections that control emotions. They're very primitive emotions that deal with hunger, aggression, and sexual drive. These areas send messages to other parts of the brain to DO SOMETHING. If you're mad, hit something or someone. If you're hungry, grab something and eat it. The frontal lobes "manage" emotions. In general, the frontal lobe has a NO or STOP function. If your emotions tell you to punch your boss, it's the frontal lobes that say "STOP or you are going to lose your job." People have often said to me "a little thing will set me off and I'm really mad." The frontal lobes failed to stop or turn off the emotional system.

On the other hand, we have talked about how the frontal lobes plan activities. The frontal lobes may fail to plan for some types of emotion. For example, sexual interest involves some level of planning or preparation. Without this planning, there is a lack of sexual interest. A lack of planning can also affect the expression of anger. I've had some family members say "You know, the head injury actually improved him, he's not such a hot-head anymore." If you listen very carefully, you're also going to hear "he's not as motivated anymore." Remember, the frontal lobe plans activities as well as controls emotions.

Circumcision separates the Men from the Boys....who is serious about God's promises and who is not....

I find myself floored once again by the bold-faced prideful ignorance and unwillingness of several on this board to listen to anything but their own egos. "...who is serious about God's promises and who is not..."??? Are you now the judge of men's hearts?

See below:

"For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love." Galatians 5:6 (KJV)

("For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love." Galatians 5:6 (NIV))

Circumcision was mosaic law, which is no longer applicable, through Christ. We do, however, have our outward sign which replaces circumcision and this is baptism.

Obvious you haven't been on this forum long, or we would be sending all of your mail to "the floor" :-D .....and you know nothing of me to make the statement...but stick around, I'm bold, not as prideful as confident....and as ignorant as the next man... :-D

"...who is serious about God's promises and who is not..."??? Are you now the judge of men's hearts?

Whoever you are....would you be willing to have your foreskin cut as an adult to identify with Jehovah? It doesn't take much brains to figure out that you would be serious about your commitment if you did so...So what part of prideful ignorance comes to play in that statement...?

See below:

"For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love." Galatians 5:6 (KJV)

So says the apostle want to be......negator of the Torah....stick with Paul and quote him all you like, I'll stick with the other Apostles.

("For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love." Galatians 5:6 (NIV))

Again, the apostle want to be...negator of the Torah....

Circumcision was mosaic law, which is no longer applicable, through Christ.

Wrong again....Christ said the law would be valid until the end of the age...

We do, however, have our outward sign which replaces circumcision and this is baptism.

Uh huh....the early Gentile believer and proselyte to Nazarene Judaism were both "cirumcised and baptized"....

Boring....been through this way to many times....always a new pretender....

Please friend, no more talk like your opening statement. You don't know me so keep the "bold-faced prideful ignorance" to someone you can intimidate...it won't work with me as you will find. Thanks...

My suggestion is to try and check the "pride" at the door.

Mat 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

I don't mind the debate....just didn't care for the tone of the statement.

Not meant for you in particular. It was an all emcompassing statement, with it's root in the post in which it first appeared. 8-)
