What’s the problem?
Today, Neil answers a question we asked a while back – when is a problem spiritual in nature, and when is it physiological (body, brain, chemicals)? What about behavior choices?
As we read about Jesus’ miracles, it never mentions mental illness; demon possession, however, happened all the time. What’s up with that?
I probably would have been disappointed if Neil had a neat, easy answer. It could be any one of the above, or a combination of them, and you have to figure it out.
I love that he hopes problems are spiritual – that, he can help fix! (He is an engineer, after all…) Reading that challenges me, not only to look more carefully to see if an issue is spiritual in nature, but to be confident that the things I’m learning about spiritual battle really work.
