I'm only stating the mental disorders you guys share, don't get so excited, if you did not want them brought up you should keep the info to yourself or do it in a private manner. I never called anyone on any certain thing, and I never said anything about life not being hard, sure it's hard, God however has given all of us a way to handle life, it's in scripture, all that's needed is to read and believe. I know Christians who do struggle, they however neglect the teachings in scripture that can help and they will readily admit it, why they do not learn is beyond me.
Only stating the mental disorder we share? Bullshit. You mentioned our disorders and then claimed that you have normal minds and lives. The implications of that are quite clear. Own up to what you say and don't back down from your ignorance. It is there for everyone to see, so trying to shy away from it when you are called out does you no good.
I've backed away from nothing, You're letting your mind run away again.

So from reading the New Testament, I have inferred the following.
We are composed of two sorts of stuff, which are the following;
The first stuff is material and that makes up our bodies.
The second kind of stuff is immaterial and makes up minds or souls.
After we die the soul is separated from the body and either goes to heaven or hell. Then at the last judgement everybody is resurrected into new bodies and either enter the "lake of fire" or the new heavens and earth.
You are right about part but not all you have stated, you have to go back to Genesis to find the make up of man. In Genesis plants were made, this is the chemical life, our bodies are like this. The second creation was self awareness, this was given to all animals, this is also a part of man. Then God made man the physical, the self awareness, then He created the soul for man alone, so man could understand God and be aware of His greatness and ect. The soul is a gift from God so man could know Him and love Him, if they so choose.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
