Why don’t you learn about life from our creator?

Illness has a cause, and Yeshua described it in each of his healings, with the same words “Go and ____ no more.”

What was that word?

Look, I've seen kids not old enough to understand sin have severe mental issues. One was about 12 with the mind of about 8. One minute he could out cuss any seasoned sailor the next he could preach a sermon. It could happen that fast. Someone very dear to my heart has lived with clinical depression since her early 20's and yes at one point she about took her life. That was before I met her 30 years ago and about 10 years prior to that.

As a kid she was abused in all manners. As an adult she was beaten, kicked, abandoned, and then as if that wasn't enough when her life finally turned around she then lost most of the use of her arms and all the use of legs for life. She's been in treatment for the depression and PTSD for about 12 years. During that time one doctor prescribed medication where she went psychotic. It was an adverse reaction to meds doctors pass out like candy.

You know what really Irks me no end? It's the self righteous persons who come up to her in their arrogance and ignorance and tell her "Oh it's due to your lack of faith you remain a quadriplegic" Yes a Charismatic church member I knew at work told her that. It took me several years to undo his damage. A few months later he was laying a nurse. Oh BTW he was married with kids. He knew what he was doing. A decade later his preacher was caught taking several hundred thousand in church funds.

We all will sin till we leave this earth. If we were perfect and could go and sin no more we wouldn't need a savior. You also forget the passage where Christ was asked who's sin caused this. Remember His reply?

I know a lot about life the good and the bad. I've dealt with a sibling who has serious mental health issues from teens on. The sibling chain smoked and the meds into a Stroke. Sibling is alive but Dementia is taking the brain fast.

I am also technically diagnosed with mental health issues for over 20 years now. PTSD which I thankfully got the right help for and General Anxiety Disorder due to a highly damaged sensory processing system that sets off seizure activity and what some call Panic Attacks. No known cure because it is in my Inner Ear and Cerebellar portion of the brain and how they interact communication wise.

I went to grade school with kids who had everything from Schizophrenia to blindness, deafness, & quadriplegia. I picked up something along the way from it. Compassion and some understanding.
