When they explain the Apostle Paul\u2019s words: \u201cGod has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind\u201d (2 Timothy 1:7), some people dissent from God\u2019s intent. They say that \u201cthe true believer\u201d is inevitably, that is, always, stronger than any \u201cpsychological disorder\u201d! You do not have to be Lebanese, that is, sleeping on one disaster to awaken on another, to realize that this saying is foreign to the mind of God. Who will slap this arrogance?! I would like to ask those who dissent from the meaning of the Word: If you think that a human being is one in soul and body, then why do you not deny to the physically ill that they are believers?! Do you think that if we all, from our oldest to our youngest, laid ourselves bare to a specialist, we would be fine? What Paul meant was to encourage his disciple to remain, in times of persecution, strong in love and sobriety. The perfect Christian kills no one with somber words, but rather dies of love.
