No one is born with mental illness, it develops over time due to sin. No one who is ‘saved’ has ANY mental illness, none of the Disciples suffered from mental illness, as it is, no one can enter heaven suffering from ‘mental illness’.
I have worked with many “saved” who are seriously mentally ill. Some of the mentally ill are heartbreakingly God’s own.
How can they be saved and mentally ill? So God cures all but the mentally ill? And how do you know that they're saved? No doubt we have a different view of what saved encompasses.
Do you also subscribe to the notion that this Ritter pedophile was forgiven by God for his 'actions' of mental illness and that because he was mentally ill, he committed suicide, which means he's not really responsible for his actions after all because he was mentally ill, therefore he will not be going to hell but to heaven as the 'New Zealander' seems to suggest.
