EB has done the equivalent. EB has said that there is absolutely no medical benefit as it relates to psychotropic medications and cannabis. But the data is actually to the contrary. Over 60 peer reviewed studies have indicated that there are medical benefits as it relates to cannabis alone. Now, let's not kid ourselves. There certainly are concerns, but to say that there is absolutely no benefit to these medications, especially when these things are used to help psychologically unstable people, is just as reckless as an evangelist telling diabetics to stop taking their insulin.
Amen. That's why if I needed medication, I'd prefer something all natural that wasn't addictive (or at least as addictive as so many of these pharmaceuticals), and didn't have the long list of unbelievable side effects.
Amen. Even the most sincere preachers are not doctors.

He went to see his doctor and apparently it was the insulin making him ill. So, he was taken off the insulin and showed no signs of diabetes. He was healed!
The point is, taking medication doesn't negate Jesus' healing power. This isn't an "either/or" circumstance. Jesus is so awesome, you can take your meds, be miraculously healed, and ditch the meds upon confirmation of your miracle. So if you're reading this and taking any medication (natural or synthetic), don't worry about if you should ditch your meds or if you're committing some sin in taking medication. Pray for healing and just trust Jesus. Healing will come in accordance to His will and timing. Your medications can't stop or hinder Christ's healing power when God choose to heal you.
So, if you're reading this and wondering if you should stop taking your meds, the answer is no. You don't have to stop taking your meds. Just pray for healing, take your meds, and trust God.

Sorry, but your game is over.
You claim that you care about people, that you care about veterans? That you care about those who have PTSD?
Let's look at the facts
1) you made light of a child being dragged to a lit stove, and tortured by their stepparent. I don't know you? I don't know your middle initial? You are a person who is the liberal defender of the people? Bernie Sanders devotee?
2) last night you said that if you committed suicide would I take care of your children? You have PTSD? You have admitted that PTSD isn't restricted to veterans. What about abused children? Chris, you crossed lines before, and you will cross them again. Yet, when you come under the gun, you scream wee, wee, wee, all the way home? Then you use suicide dramatically against other posters so you can make your points? Really? I don't have to know your middle initial, I read the outrageous tripe you post. You want a discussion? About what? How cannabis will make mommy and daddy in love again? You don't think that will elicit a response?
Chris, you are a phony, noting more than a troll.
PTSD? Threats of suicide? Followed with drama concerning your own children? You use your own children? Like one poster said, you need the VA.
Like I said this morning, you have zero credibility.
You think cannabis is a wonder drug, that outshines the Holy Ghost? Then go buy you a bag.
My mother had type 2 diabetes and she stopped taking her meds and she wasn't Apostolic. She didn't have the Holy Ghost, she didn't pray. She went vegan, and exercised.
Chris, like I said, I don't need to know your middle initial, I got your address.
I have been reading your material for years.
Go find a church.
