Md1234: Question: Is it wrong to take nerve pills? My answer: Christians are not exempt from diseases and disorders such as the flu, cancer, heart trouble, or diabetes. Are we somehow magically exempt from depression and anxiety and their consequences? For example, many Christians, including some pastors, have little knowledge and absolutely no understanding of clinical depression. (Although your question is not about depression, allow me to use depression as an example.) Some try to label depression as a sin. Or they say that if you had enough faith, you could be healed. To this I reply: no responsible person would tell a diabetic to have faith and quit taking his insulin, would he? In the same way, it would be very foolish and irresponsible to counsel a person being treated for depression to stop taking his prescription medications. Depression, left untreated, often leads to suicide. So my answer, based on the Bible and reason, is that no, it is not wrong to take nerve pills prescribed by a licensed physician. Grace to you, Kalos |

kalos, Godbless you dear brother. We seem to forget at times that all true healing is of God whether it be directly from or God working through a doctor or other healthcare professional. You named several issues that I deal with daily,but by Gods grace and divine providence he enables me to continue on with what He's called me to do. The sin is not availing ourseves of what God has so graciously suppied us. Once again thank you my brother, I needed that. In Christ, lionheart |
