Bible Question: Not sure if I am able to ask this question, if not, please delete and I am sorry for not knowing the kinds of questions to ask. My question is, since we are filled with the Holy Spirit (accepted Jesus Christ-salvation), than why is that mental diseases such as dimentia/alzheimers affect Christian, I know we live in a world that is filled with diseases, but, we also have God who lives within us. Why? Thank you |
Bible Answer: ekela:You are dealing with the Theology that many Christians don't like to think about, good for you! The list of diseases you mention, plus so many more are things we suffer as sinful humans. I too have had to directly search the Scriptures for answers as to why we as Christians suffer such illnesses. Having had cancer, blood clots in my lungs, and at least two other deadly diseases, I have indeed studied the question at length. Open you Bible to the 8th chapter of Romans and read it all. From verse26 to the end of the chapter has become a huge encouragement for me. In verse 29 we Christians are being conformed to the image of Christ. Did not Christ suffer beyond our deepest understanding? If we are ever to become mature in Christ we must see the purpose of suffering, which is to become conformed to and become like Christ. Suffering is not pleasent and unless we have a rason for suffering Christians can become spiritually bankrupt, and bitter at God. This lesson is not something that comes natural, and can take a long time to learn, while suffering. No where in Scripture does it say Christians will not suffer, or become rich if we just have the faith, or that Christians are kept from diseases, heart ache, or mental illness. I hope that Romans * will help you find the meaning of suffering, blessings. justme |
