The path to heaven isnt easy

I'd rather look cute than go to heaven

Am I even allowed to do bdsm in heaven? Doubt it

💤 boring

You'll look cuter in heaven tho

I wouldn't care in heaven though

No sex or drugs

I'm hell you will be twisted in the worst form imaginable

You will have happiness instead of pleasure

Brb

So let's say someone has a problem with their heart or another vital organ and needs surgery to fix it and improve their chances for survival. Or even if they have depression and need medication to help them find relief from it. Is it immoral to go through with the surgery or take the medication because you're rejecting the role you've been given, i.e. being unhealthy and miserable?

I'm curious to see where God draws the line with such things.

There is a difference between treatment for an illness and completely changing your body so you can reject your expected role

Also I'm actually unsure about organ donations

Christians aren't really supposed to donate their organs

Which may imply receiving an organ is also immoral

And I'm pretty sceptical when it comes to drug treatments for many mental illnesses

Well, I do know that people of certain religious affiliations (I think Jehovah's Witnesses do this?) refuse to accept organ transplants because they think it's immoral

There is also something I find strange about having another's heart inside you. Often the heart of someone younger given to someone older.

It disturbs me

Anyway, how do we tell which things are illnesses and which are just expected roles? If your "expected role" is causing you distress (i.e. gender dysphoria), would it not make sense to treat it as a form of illness as well and try to mitigate it by changing the thing that's causing you distress in the first place? It seems to me that your argument could just as easily be applied to, for example, depressed people, as it could be said that being depressed is just their given role designated by their biology and that it's immoral to try to change that.

Suffering is caused by sin

The through suffer comes greater good

Even in treatment people suffer

It is good to show mercy to others

Do not be so one minded about this

Both punishment and salvation come from God

Suffering and elevation

How do you know this?

The words of saints

It seems highly faith-based

Isn't it possible that those saints could have just been lying or delusional or something?

Nope

Why not? Is it not true that all humans are fallible?

"There is a difference between treatment for an illness and completely changing your body to reject a social role" what if I'm changing my body to treat gender dysphoria @Danacrag

That is terminal gender dysphoria imo @chaizu

Eh?

Do you uh

Do you know what terminal means
