Re: Is THIS a Sin?? ... Can it Ever Be?

Perfect love casts out all fear. I'm sure there are fears that folks have that will be overcome as they mature in the Spirit. Shouldn't our fears(anxiety disorders) be relieved and overcome when we cast all our cares on Him, knowing He cares for us?

To some folks, if anxiety were a sin, then God would be....

Anxiety disorders could be genetic or could be caused by other physical ailments such as thyroid problems.

So if it is genetic ... and it can be a sin ... can one be born a sinner?

Or this another discussion?

There is a world of difference between worry (anxiety) and concern.

Or by an evil spirit of fear and doubt trying to cause unbelief to fester in our minds.

Now, let me make this perfectly clear......not all. There are many, many, many genetic ailments which are caused by belief in receiving them... we believe we are going to receive these by thinking on the ailment and talking about it... Soooooooooooo what happens, these ailments come our way just like a bad dream.
