On Psychopaths, Sin and Truth …
Or what does it take to make a psychopath?
by CAB
I think psychiatry is 100 percent totally evil. Psychiatry has the cart before the horse, and they have reduced the human spirit down to a chemical reaction that is in need of adjustment by means of toxic chemicals and techniques of mind control that are equally effective for training dogs as for training humans. Emotions follow the mind – not the other way around. Any hypnotist will tell you that. Psychopaths are made, not born.
Psychiatrists have a lot to say on the subject of people they deem to be “psychopaths,” and have measured the brains of people lacking in conscience to note a relative lack of electrical or chemical reactions occurring.
The Bible says “harden not your heart” and it’s not talking about taking statin drugs. It’s talking about listening to the still small voice of our conscience, the voice of God, speaking quietly that says, “Obey your parents, don’t lie, don’t steal, don’t hurt people or animals, don’t do things you know are wrong, don’t even look at bad things.” There is no one who is not born with the still small voice, who is born without a conscience, according to the Bible. But psychiatry with their scientific gizmos able to monitor a brain to see what lights up and what does not light up in response to certain words…claim some people are born with a lack of certain chemicals in the brain that prevent empathic parts of the brain to light up at all, those parts that feel the emotion of pity and compassion. Psychiatry assumes some people who they have labeled “psychopaths” are born with brains that don’t feel, that such persons born with such deficient brains are therefore lacking in a conscience, and nothing can help them.
What possible reason do these people have to adopt such a pseudoscientific assumption? It makes no sense. Our conscience is based on chemicals in the brain for which we have no control? I don’t THINK so!
I’m going with the Holy Bible, rather than with the Psychiatric Bible known as the DSM (Diaagnostic and Statistical Manual) … now in its fifth volume and steadily adding new mental diseases every year.
The conscience is something that is given to everyone, and with regular maintenance and if not left to rust away with disuse, will work just fine unto our dying day – just as long as we care about it, maintain it, and, most especially, listen to it. If we ignore it, then it stops working.
How much we choose to guard our hearts and minds, to listen to our conscience, depends a lot on our attitude toward God. God reveals himself in his creation, and there is no excuse for anyone not to believe in God. But people who want to do something that goes against their conscience are perfectly free to ignore their conscience, to in effect tell the conscience, “Shut up, I can do this because (insert lie or excuse here), so I’m going to do it, and I’m not going to feel bad about it either.” So once the conscious mind adopts a rationale for doing something, no matter how illogical or wrong-headed that reason is, it serves the purpose. The subconscious mind believes whatever the conscious mind tells it to believe. “Sure, Boss, whatever you say!”The subconscious buys into the most far-out lie – hook, line, and sinker. And from there on the emotions will reflect the kind whatever is in harmony with a self-delusional conscious mind chooses to seek and follow after Truth – or to invent lies to buttress pride and/or hate and revenge, and to commit acts which at one time their conscience would oppose.
This is the “strong delusion” the Bible speaks of that comes to those persons “who receive not a love of the Truth.” In the Last Days we live in when people are getting wired into Artificial Intelligence, the delusion will be impossible to escape. Jesus warns us do not under any circumstances succumb to being wired into this delusional unity, to be one with those so wired and with Satan as ultimate master and god.
People who turn away from the Truth, make up flimsy and lame lies and rationalizations to do things that violate what they know is right and which go against their conscience will be supported by their subconscious mind (which questions nothing and believes everything). It’s self-hypnosis. Self-corruption. Loving and making a lie as the Bible warns twice on the very last pages, that people who do this will be outside Heavens gates. The only thing that can undo the damage done to the soul, to the subconscious mind, is if the person consciously repents, and later says, “Oh, that was wrong. I don’t really believe that. I should not have done that, and my thinking was wacky to justify the deed that I did.” The subconscious mind will then say, “Oh, really? You changed your mind? Okay, Boss. From now on, that’s how it will be.”
This is the everyday maintenance we do to ourselves, to our conscience, to keep it working, to keep ourselves from turning into a lunatic, a scary evil creep, one of those … PSYCHOPATHS!
Furthermore, compassion is something we develop by opening up our hearts to the suffering of others. It is developed by experiencing suffering in our own lives and by observing it in the lives of those we love and care for.
It’s common for people to make excuses for doing bad things to others, in order to kill the conscience. That’s why the Bible says that outside Heaven’s gates are “all those who love and make a lie.”
Only people who love Truth will go to Heaven. People who love Truth will have empathy and compassion for others, because they will open their hearts and minds and to the pain and the plight of somebody who is suffering.
The problem with people that psychiatry calls “psychopaths” is that they do not love the Truth. To some people, the truth is something that is inconvenient and requires a workaround, time to twist their brain around a lame excuse or explanation why something that is wrong is really right. A person who is bent on killing their conscience, who sees having a caring heart and a fear of God as an obstruction to their own happiness, can turn into a cold hearted selfish monster if he works on it.
So we can see that the desire to maintain, to “guard our hearts and minds” – comes also from our faith in God. Faith in God comes naturally, and the Bible says there’s no excuse for anyone to not believe in God, because “God reveals himself in his creation.” That’s why there are people of many faiths all over the earth, people who live in the fear of God, who acknowledge God in their lives, and are keenly aware that they will answer to God in the next life. Those who decide to blow God off, or to redefine God into some kind of mindless “force” like electricity, are just looking to free themselves up to do whatever they want without the thought in their mind that a God who is interested and keeping score will be looking over their shoulder and examining every thought and motive and careless word for all eternity. Kind of hard to sin up a storm when under that kind of an understanding of the Creator.
2 Thes. 2 says that there will be a great “falling away” (from faith in God) in the last days, and that the “Wicked” will come “after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not a the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
Because people “received not a love of the truth” … that’s what the problem is, not that there is something wrong with their brain that does not allow them to have a conscience.
If we choose to do an evil thing, we will make excuses, “love and make a lie,” and if we choose to believe a lie our subconscious will say, “Okay, whatever you say, Boss.”
The subconscious does not question what the conscious mind tells it.
If we want to be righteous, we can choose to be based on our love of the Truth.
If we want to be evil, we can choose that also and do so by way of ‘loving and making a lie.’ And if we do not repent then the conclusions and lies we adopted to excuse the evil deed will take root in the mind, and finally a person has no more conscience.
If parents knew this and understood it, they would try much harder to teach their children to love the truth, to be honest, not to “harden their hearts,” which scripture repeatedly warns us against.
Truth is preeminent, and that is the reason why. A person who cares not for the Truth, does not love the Truth, will do whatever he wants and make up lies as he goes along to justify whatever he does. It is amazing the crazy rationalizations that are invented to justify evil. I.e., I had two workers here I found on Craigslist, and I was desperate to get some help -- so that’s why I (foolishly) took the risk. They actually were aggressive to come to my house before I had actually agreed to have them come. They robbed me, and lied, installed 5 servers on my computer so they could commit crimes by using my computer, and I’m lucky they did not slit my throat. God was looking out for me, and I called the police and actually got a good policeman, a sheriff deputy, who took an interest and tried to help me, so these criminals knew I had the police on my side. Still, they lied to me and I believed them and let them have another round with me. I confronted the one guy, who had brought his wife along which made me feel that it was safe to speak bluntly to him about my complaints (that he would not kill me in front of his wife) … that he had charged me $40 an hour for doing a half hour’s work, he said, “If you got a tree surgeon to come in to trim your trees they would charge $250 an hour.” I said, “But I hired you for $40 an hour, so that’s beside the point.” Anyway, that’s a small example of how people justify doing evil. Just think of an excuse, any excuse will do, and be on your merry way. It’s just a choice to love and make a lie. It’s not that there is something wrong with their brain. Rather it is their heart that is withered and sick. It’s that they want to do something that’s evil, and they don’t care that it’s evil, and they make excuses to do what they want to do.
We have all committed deeds we knew were wrong, and made excuses. If we are blessed by God, we will not prosper in the evil that we do, and it will come back to bite us really hard, and we will repent.
Bible says, “The soul that sinneth, it shall die.” The Bible says to “Guard our hearts and minds.” That means, don’t sin, and if we do sin make sure we acknowledge our sin, repent, and turn away from it before it ‘owns’ us.
Sin is a big, huge deal. The churches are not warning people, but excusing, giving people “license to sin,” that our sins are “all paid in advance,” so we may as well just sin without worrying about it because God knew in advance and paid the price. That is a total lie, so corrupting, and not at all what the Bible says at all.
The Bible says God is not letting any liars into Heaven.
Revelation 21:8
5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
