In the story of Samson and Delilah, Samson wasn't supposed to cut his hair lest he loses his blessing of great strength

Does this include his beard hair???

I'm sure the Fathers must have written on that somewhere. Run a Google search.

Wait I remember this

He took Nazarite, vow I think. So, no. No beard trimming.

*a Nazarite vow,

Matthew 7:13-14

**Matthew 7:13-14 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<13> Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat. <14> How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it! ```

Shroud pill for pinning since I keep losing it.

There's some stuff I shouldn't say so I'll have to be vague, but after a recent conversation, I got to thinking about people with dissociative identity disorder (DID). I've interacted with these dissociated identities, and it got me thinking
How do you guys think the Christian concept of the human soul relate to a person with this specific mental disorder, where they may have multiple distinct personalities inhabiting one mind, where they can be merged or fractured under certain circumstances?
ie. John Doe has DID, how many of that nigga are you gonna meet when you're both dead?

Mental illness =/= possesion

That being said, it could be possesion if diagnosis proves negative

Always keep holy water near with these people

But don’t tell them

They’ll feel uneasy near it

If possessed

In principle, then?

Let's say they just have a clinical disorder

I don't know if you think I was, but I wasn't conflating the two @MawLr

In principle, in order to say someone is possessed, mental illness has to be discarded

In the case you mentioned, said person would have to stop taking meds to be exorcised first

If a cobba has multiple personalities then maybe he's got more than one soul in his body 🤔

Actually a plot point in jojo. A guy has a split personality and one part of his personality has a stand and the other doesn't. His entire body morphs to the mental age of the personality he's under. 2 souls in one body, and in the end to attain full control he kills the other soul. I'll spoil to hard if I talk further lol

Metaphysics behind it though is interesting.

Eh, I think mental stuff is largely just simple issues that feel complicated because crazy people don't typically hold on to any reliable baseline. I'm sure when our bodies are eternally healed they'll be all of the person they are, rather than the many they think they might be.

That was my idea

that in heavenly perfection, there will be only one soul without flaws

pretty much. There is also this phenimenom called terminal ludicity

I have no idea where to post this, but i think this channel is most fitting. I have a problem. I basically feel contact with god, but i am unsure if i really am lutheran. I am a member of the Swedish Church mainly out of tradition. In recent years the Swedish Church has made some wierd statements though. Like calling Greta Thunberg "the new Jesus". They also support projects where mosques and churches are built in the same building. In short, i dont know what kind of christian i really am. How do i know? Help?

I'd just say, don't be afraid to visit other denominations and do research on the theological differences. Also try to find a different church within the same denomination with perhaps a sane priest and parish.

Swedish Lutheranis church is cancer, if you're Lutheran find an Orthodox Lutheran church. Non-orthodox Lutherans are a good 90% brazen heretics who worship progressive politics over the God of the universe.

If you told me that every year you eat a rusty pair of scissors I would find it less strange

Whatever you question, I guarantee that what you shouldnt be is part of that satanic abomination that is the "church" of Sweden

Yeah you guys are probably right. As i said i have only been part of the Swedish Church becasue my parents baptised me in it. My parents are not religious, and i was the same for a long while. My family basically stays in the Swedish Church because it holds some traditional and cultural value. It is in recent months i started to feel religious for real. I guess i have to read and research more to find out what kind of christian i am, because as of now, the Swedish Church feels cucked. I don't even know if i really am Lutheran.
