So my friend worrying about pooping in her pants when she's on a date is wrong?
OK - I'll let her know.

But since Jesus was so stressed that He sweat blood, I'd say being "stressed out" might not always be a sin. When I worked for the Red Cross Disaster Team, you bet I got stressed out. But it was not a sinful stress, it was just a stress of being overwhelmed by the task before me like when I worked the Flight 800 crash. My response to the stress could have been sinful - being angry, being hostile to the workers around me - or it could have been not-sinful and just come out in me as a growl then a working towards the massive goal I had before me. Yes, I prayed - oh goodness, did I pray a lot - but it didn't stop the worry and concern I had about the men working the crash site and the stress on them and the worry for the families who were experiencing probably the most difficult time in their lives.

See you prove my point. The answer is prayer, not drugs.

Perhaps then that still is the wrong word to use, or it conveys the wrong idea.

Ann as usual you still seem to have a problem with truth. I did not say that. Do you have no respect for the word of God?

Or maybe it is the Holy Spirit convicting them.
Then you are attributing the work of the Spirit to sin.

Cancer, Arthritis and Fibromyalgia do not cause behavior problems. The heart is where sin lives and the person who sins needs to deal with the heart by confessing and forsaking, not cover it up with drugs.

That's interesting because when the cancer went to my mother's brain, she began acting differently.
She even became beliggerant - which she had never been before.
Was that sin now coming out - or the cancer eating her brain?

I am addressing stress - not mental illness right now.

I agree that it's how we react that counts.
We can absolutely respond in a sinful way but thank God for our body's reaction to stress!!
Our body produces hormones that give us extra energy, extra strength, extra mind awareness/ability to think and a quickness that we might not have.

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars , shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Ann I ask you again do n you not respect the word of God as you continue to make false statements? This is what was said; "So if this causes her long term sin she needs to repent."

But Ann you are not the standard, the word of God is and you continually miss-represent what is said, tell untruths, right here for all to read so why would we expect you not to mock the Lord in this.

Headaches can be caused by many things--cancer for example.
