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.

There is no further value in this discussion, IMO. It is tiresome and pointless, and I have neither the time nor the patience to continue it. Include me out.

This is where your logic is ...should I use the word?...insane.

You assume that people cannot be within God’s will if they are mentally ill. You assume that mentally ill people are always mentally ill and without access to sane thinking. You assume that God cures all people...when at times the decison God makes is to continue the illness.

These are tragic flaws of thought.
