it's very naive and not at all Biblical.

I am a very simple and naive man. But, as for not biblical, well my being naive and simple does not make me a buffon or fool, and the Lord Himself tells us that unless a man is born again, he will not see the inside of heaven. Paul, Peter, James and John make it very clear that to be born again, one must have his or her sins washed clean by the Blood of the Lamb, hence: A Born Again Washed in the Blood of the Lamb Christian.

But, if you can refute me using Scripture, go for it, I am always open to being corrected through the use of Scripture, Scripture.

As for the good samaritan, well, remeber, he did not have the option of being a Born Again Washed in the Blood of the Lamb Christian, for the Lord had not sacrificed Himself for us at that time, but what about you? Have you availed yourself of the cleansing power of the Blood of the Lamb? Have you read the word of God? Do you know the differance between the word of God and the Word of God? Are you Saved? Do you know what Saved means?

Yes, I am saved and well-steeped in God's word. but what does that have to do with whether medications can help conditions like depression? People get diseases in the brain just like they do in other parts of the body. Do you think that Ronald Reagan needs to read the Bible more to cure himself of Alzheimer's?

James 2:15-16 says that "If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,' and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?" You don't think that we should withold medication from someone who needs it, do you?

Not every answer is in scripture. You wouldn't consult the Bible when you need to change the spark plugs in your call, and you probably wouldn't call the local Baptist church when your hard drive crashes.
