They tell you that whatever ills you is sin and GOD can take it away. That once you have truly accepted Christ and are reborn that you will be free of your pain, fear, and confusion. Unfortunately this is a lie.<br /><br />The truth is pain, fear, and confusion are parts of the human experience. Whether you have accept GOD or not you will still have these emotions. As long as you are living you will not be able to escape these feelings. <br /><br />I think the girl in the first video is very sincere. She has found a temporary relief from alot of pain and confusion she has been experiencing. The issue is what will happen when once pain and confusion return. Than what sin will she blame it on. <br /><br />Our souls are immortal this is taught by all religions and therefore can't be harmed they are not in need of being saved.These people are seeking emotional relief, something that the religions of Abraham in there current state are indequate at teaching. <br /><br />Emotions are temporary and will pass. What theses people need are resources and coping skills to help when in the midst of emotional difficulties. Are society opts to using drugs or supernatural rememdies (prescribed by religions) that eventually wear off leaving people defenseless against emotions which they naturally have control over.<br /> <br />If you don't believe me put on your favorite song or look at a picture of something that makes you happy. Instantly you have changed your emotional state. <br /><br />What these people are lacking is emotional development and maturity which can only come through practice. You have to train yourself to be happy.<br /><br />That second video is just theater. You can use many things to induce vomitting in people.Roderick Watkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11244936485414155948noreply@blogger.com
