ok lads gonna run through abit of the first 2 chapters coz people have joined and come back from playing pool!!
so we can start off with what is schizophrenia coz its a beast word but luckily Nadia LOVES brains so she highlighted it to me and is there for advice, counselling and general chat at cost of £5/hr payable to me.
schizophrenia - disintegration of thought processes and emotional responsiveness and it
commonly presents as SPLIT PERSONALITY
Many people have argued that they see God as schizophrenic on one hand there is a
CONDEMNING side eg. God orders a man to be stoned to death for picking sticks on the Sabbath (Numbers 15:32-35)
On the other side there is
LOVE eg Jesus fogives a woman caught in the act of adultery (John 8:3-11)
It is essential to read the OT and NT alongside eachother to get true understanding on the nature of God.
An example of this is when Jesus was rejected by the Samaritans and the disciples wanted Jesus to send fire down from heavens just as Elijah had in the OT Luke 9:54
They thought rejecting the Son of God would warrant such actions but Jesus replied:
"...Son of man has not come to destroy lives, but to save them."
God in OT was seen as judgement and punishment but this is only one side and NOT his true nature as we are tole in 1 John 4:8 that GOD IS LOVE and throughout the NT that Jesus is the walking, living Word and Jesus = love ................so therefore God is love.
hope that makes sense and you guys got something from the 1st chapt
peace
