A Case for Schizophrenia as Temporal Punishment

[La vérité]

Many of the religious folk of today simply worship God and that's about it. They think that if they JUST worship God then that's all it takes to get a trip into heaven.

They just keep on being sinful. They just keep on focusing upon themselves while 10 million children ages 5 and under have been dying per year for quite some time.

They do nothing but pray for the children, at best, thus they dump the burden upon Christ's shoulders such that it costs them absolutely nothing, thus they do so such that they can still buy that third flat screen Hd TV, that second or third car, that bigger house, etc.

The Satan character loves these people.

However, those whom are good at heart are not on his list of approval.

With this being the case, many become his victims.

When this occurs, the victims are defined as being mentally disturbed people.

The fake religious people think that the Satan character belongs in hell forever. Yet they do not seem to think that he does anything bad to those of this world. Thus if he does do such things, the fake religious people say things such as "God works in mysterious ways.", rather than saying that the Satan character is up to no good once again.

Religion is accepted in this world. Yet being targeted by an evil Satan character is said to be nothing but something that is ALL in your mind, all in your head.

This is a case of one sidedness. One sidedness is a case of insanity.
Perhaps a mere handful of people these days may be considered to be actual victims of Satan.
This therefore implies that the ratio between good and evil is roughly 7.2 Billion to 5 or so.

That reduces the magnitude of evil down to damn near nothing.

Yet again, the fake religious folk say that the Satan character belongs in hell forever even though according to them he doesn't do much to the people of this world.

It seems as though a significant portion of their minds is missing. According to the Bible, the ratio between good and evil is definitely NOT roughly 7.2 Billion to 5 or so.


So not to forget....
When you speak to God, it is called religion and you are surrounded by the loving arms of the religious context.

And not to forget..
When Satan targets you, it now jumps into the field of science and it is said the be a delusion, an hallucination.

At first I thought that schizophrenia was a punishment from God for having a sinful life. Then I realized that it may have been an attack of Satan. No sickness or illness comes from God. And when you dance with the devil he eventually catched you in his traps. God is life. So now I concentrate on attacking Satan and to go away from him. God forgives, He doesn't hurt people. Amen and peace to you all.

Finally some people that get it. I'm schizo too. Schizophrenia is most definitely a punishment from God.

As was said there is a way to get them to go away: through repentance. Not just ordinary repenetance either (turning away from sin) but also by making a list of all your sins and apologizing for all of them including those that can get you thrown in jail or kicked out of the family. Ideally you should do this as part of a 12 step group so that a sponsor can help you decide what to do for each sin (see steps 4 and step 9). You'll need to find a hardcore sponsor thats willing to go there with you.

PS Delusions were previously discussed - in my estimation the purpose of the delusions are to sideline you for a while - make you lost in your own thoughts and unable to function.

In my experience the delusion phase doesnt last long as long as you are no longer smoking meth or pot or drinking too much or doing other extremely harmful activities to yourself or others. After that the voices just sort of generally torment you.

I am so happy you are here. I loved the last paragraph of your post - it is clear you are leaning on your faith and your surety in God's grace and goodness to carry you through the dark times. I love your enthusiam for spreading the message to others, being so happy hear to tell us how much you love the Lord and what He has done with you.

We all have our own struggles, but you are on the right path to concentrate on God through the thick and thin of life. I hope to keep seeing you around talking about your progress in faith, life, and the happiness of life.

Hey - for a good Christian view on suffering, including illnesses, maybe look at How Long O Lord by D A Carson.
No, you are not necessarily being punished for some particular evil sin. It sounds delusional to me as well. 1 John - If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves, if we confess our sin He is faithful and will forgive us.
