THEN IF YOU DON'T LOVE AND SERVE HIM YOU GO TO HELL. HOW IS THAT NOT FORCE?

Misconceptions!

Hell was originally made for the devil. Mtt 25:41.
For his rebellion.

Now, just so you know, God doesn't send anyone to hell. Man's deliberate decision to rebel against God sends him to hell.

God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” 2 Peter 3:9

Depression is no respecter of religion...what then happens to persons belonging to other religious groups suffering from depression Please let's be guided and open minded. We all are HUMANS.

Good

Depression is real and is becoming part of our lives. As Christians we need to find away of dealing with it and overcome.
Some of the ways to deal with it;
- Dont indulge too much in social media, many of the things are make believe
- Love not the world, dont be engrossed in wanting to get everything your eyes see, your heart perceived!
- Dont compare yourself with others, unnecessary rat race give lots of us blood pressure.
- Be content with what you have
- Dont make fun of others who are struggling
- As parents dont put pressure on your children
- Dont live above your means
- Seek help inform of counselling and medical too because depression has to do with mental health.
- Live one day at a time.
- Above all have faith in God, trust him, cast your burden on him and honour his invitation if you are labouring and heavy laden.
God will heal us all!

story if u had voted wisely, we would not b here.

Who is this. Your topic suggests that most Christians suffer depression

Article shows the OP knows next to nothing about how depression works. Quite sad

Wow, this is big.
So a Christian now accepts depression is real, and not a sign of demonic possession
Good step forward, I guess.

Wait what?

I thought Christians are never depressed. I thought the joy of the lord is their strength. I thought the holy spirit comforts them and ministers to them daily. U mean they still go through everything ordinary humans go through too? Lol

Finally u guys have started embracing reality. U have stopped lying to yourselves. Little by little we will get u to come to terms with reality.

The next task is to help u stop faking miracles.

people like u will one day,be used by God weather u like it or not, that u are still talking trash doesn't mean u are going to be a vessel, even though In my case I never criticised any Christian, but I didn't really believe, boy o boy the time is coming u will go for morning cry with anybody asking u to do so. U case is too small for d almighty, he handled d case of apostle Paul from Saul to Paul, soon evangelist will be added to ur name, by that time all ur energy time resources will be used to serve God

yesterday's prayer point is the testimony of today, so also the prayer of today will definitely become the testimony of tomorrow..... We can't have all things at once...it comes gradually.....please take it easy....

You are one of the most reasonable and sensible Atheists on Nairaland. Those religious fanatics on NL are becoming something else.

Your analogies are seriously off.

A student is supposed to study. If they choose not to and the teacher fails them with its attendent consequences, then someone like you will turn around and say the teacher FORCED the student to study.

My friend. Get real.

Everything in this life has both positive and negative consequences. You embrace positive consequences but now want to reject negative ones

[quote author=erifeoluwasimi post=78729023][/quote]Thanks ma / sir, very apt!

I listened to a pastor who addressed this on Friday.

The Church is breeding depressed members because all they teach is how you be blessed, how God wants us to succeed, how we will be the head, how we should sow seeds, how we will suffer if we do not pay tithes etc.

They have made poor people feel like there is something wrong with them or their last hope (God) does not want to answer them.

The numerous contributions the church expects nko?

The need to connect our decisions and the consequences is paramount.

We better go back to preaching about the joy of the Lord being our strength.

We need it.

Lol, humans are mostly 99.99% the same, religion doesn't make you 0.001% similar to your fellow Muslim or Christian.
Genetically and historically Men are more depressed than women in fact boys are more depressed than women and girls combined.
This has to do with both biology and environment look around you all the guys are trying to be rich one way or another the girls are mostly looking for all ready made men very few of them are trying to make their own money even the once in school are not looking forward to getting a job or building a billion dollar company but marrying quick before they turn 25 or 29.
The women have a lot of thing's to take away their mind from depression guys only have football and alcohol and many of us don't drink that leaves us with football some of us have lost interest in that too like me that o ly leaves us with religion or very few other alternatives to distract our minds. Every failure hits you harder than the last. Depression is real Religion may help some but certainly cannot help all.

Who are you mocking?
At whom do you sneer and stick out your tongue? Are you not a brood of rebels, the offspring of liars?--Isaiah 57:4

Look!
The righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all;--psalm 34:19

netflicks:
Am depressed but not to the extent of commiting Sucide. Am just fed up about a lot of things am presently struggling with..

Who among you fears the LORD and obeys his servant? If you are walking in darkness, without a ray of light, trust in the LORD and rely on your God.--Isaiah 50:10

For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!--2 Corinthians 4:17

Nevertheless,
Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way all will be well with you--Job 22:21

The ear that listens to the reproofs of life abides among the wise!!!
