Why would they be important to god or me if they have nothing to do with me being saved?

Godschild, you really need to learn to stop talking about things that you do not understand.

Would you politely shut it? Depression is clearly an illness, and now you're making us look stupid.
Other than that, Godschild is wrong.

You're trying to run me around in circles,I'm not playing your game, reread my post if you want the answer it's there.
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.

No, you politely shut it.Wink Apparently I misunderstood something because I thought GC was saying depression isn't a mental illness. I am very aware that it is, as it was the reason for my several trips to the mental hospital. I am actually quite well versed on what depression is and isn't.

A simple misunderstanding then.
