Was it possible for Jesus to sin?by DGapj11,640 views
With use of anti-depressants, I was actually able to find God. When I was in the midst of my depression, I was unable to see clearly or think rationally about anything. Before my depression, I was a strong Christian; during it, my faith virtually disappeared. When I started taking medication for it, I was put into a mindset where I could set down and read my Bible and actually desired to get close to God. My faith was restored. Whoever says a Christian should not take anti-depressants is wrong.

@candiceevans1 Nice to see someone who finally understands how the devil works. Just watch out my friend, soon you're gonna have to get a mechanics degree to tell someone they have a flat tire... LOL. Let's wake up and realize there is something out there that knows how to swindle us, and we should wake up and realize everything the devil offers you isn't for the temporary. Actually if the devil has a mental disorder, it would be psychopathy.

@Hufflewaffle Relate:
"Sorry what? I have absolutely no idea who you are or how you 'help people'"
with
"And if you really think no one can be harmed by this type of 'advice' then you also, clearly, have no real experience of the matter."
You judge my ability to help people even though you don't know me from a bar of soap. Forget Piper, you do NOT need a PhD to help people with mental or habitual problems! It's just elitist garbage.

@danielkirk1 Sorry what? I have absolutely no idea who you are or how you 'help people'. I commented on a video of John Piper clumsily trying to advise people on serious psychological/medical issues by saying ludicrous things like: 'if I take a sip of water does that mean I am not relying on God?' and 'I produce stuff in my brain by jogging'.
And if you really think no one can be harmed by this type of 'advice' then you also, clearly, have no real experience of the matter.

@Hufflewaffle Oh knock it off please. No one will be harmed if I Advise things that I've experienced myself to help with these issues. Everyone does it all the time, and so they should(in the real world not the textbook). Did i not tell you that i advise the people i help to a go to a professional? (if they need it). I've helped people beat smoking,drinking, immoral thinking. I've also spent most my time with the deaf. DONT TELL ME HOW TO HELP PEOPLE.

@danielkirk1 Sorry but he is making a mockery of the people who have applied their life to this very specialized work. Theologians are NOT equipped to advise on things like antidepressants or psychotherapy particularly to people who are in real distress and need real help, christian or not. There are some things that require not only a compassionate heart but a proper education and training. You can get on a plane with a theologian in the cockpit if you wish, but not me nor anyone I care about.

@danielkirk1 sorry your logic not you're.

@Hufflewaffle I'm having trouble taking YOU seriously. I have been taken seriously about these things, and I've helped many! And I always suggest professionals in these feilds too. You're logic is if you can't A, then B won't happen until you get C. It's not always like that! Humans can do many things without a PhD my friend.

@danielkirk1 "So you need a P.H.D to give some advice about drugs, and psychology issues?"
If you want to be taken seriously, yes you do.

@Hufflewaffle What does that have to do with anything? So you need a P.H.D to give some advice about drugs, and psychology issues? You sound like you'd be a fantastic parent with that logic. That's right you're not the theologian, that's why you ask everyone here that believes "how can anyone take this seriously?", because you're too self-important to understand serious things. Bye.
