autism and the devil

Post Reply New Topic

To all christians, do you think theres a link between autism and the devil? Do you think Jesus can heal us?

You are joking aren't you? Do you sincerely hold onto this belief?

You should do an experiment and see if Jesus can heal you. Go ahead, I'll wait...

You know the church used to support scientific theory, and shelter and help out with scientific and mathematical study during the dark ages. I'm just saying if the people who wrote the bible, not Jesus [or Yesuah as was his proper Hebrew name] or the apostles, but the Byzantium government, who comissioned the writing of the bible in 325 AD mainly did so because of a rapid spread of a new Judaic philosophy historians call "proto-Christany," and the fact there where essentially no more pagan worshipers left in the lands. The concept of "Satan" or a "hell" in the dark way we picture today was completely absent from most of the scripture for a long time. Actually Satan was viewed as more of a "watch-dog" for God if you can try and picture it that way. Satan isn't even supposed to be the greatest evil in the older testaments anyways, it's actually the Leviathan that many believed to be the greatest threat to humanity at that time and place. Any way my point is you want healing, it is completely christian, and definitely NOT a sin to seek medical and psychological help.

My mother used to say she thought autism (and most mental disorders) weren't real and that they were caused by satan. I do believe Jesus can heal us. It just takes time.

I think he may be talking about the Council of Nicea, where Church doctrine was first codified out of a larger body of beliefs about Jesus.

I coulda been freed of this!

But my parents couldnt afford to pay my excorcist.

So I got repossessed!

And thats why I'm still aspie!

Excuse me. I need to to spin my head and vomit blood for a few minutes!

*facepalm*

*dazed* Am I in the middle ages?

These just may be the middle ages but we just don't know it yet.

Thinking varies from country to country, etc.

In the U.S. if someone kills someone and says God told him to do it we prepare a padded room.

But in the middle east it's accepted that local religious authorities can say God told them to do it, and people (who fervently believe tis is true) line up to have bombs strapped on them before they get their morning's coffee or drop off their kid at school, etc..

Spooky, huh?

The question is specifically directed at Christians
The question is characteristic of a devout Christian reaching out to other devout Christians
Trolling? Possibly, but I would think that in the practice of classic trolling it would have been more of a provocative statement than a simple question directed at one specific group.
Example: "There is a link between autism and the devil! You are infected by Satan but Jesus can heal (or save) you!"

In my case I am a Christian but not devout enough to ponder the question for much more than to say that I don't see the connection between satan and autism.
