Thank you for asking I’m doing good I feel it made me stronger in a way, also I agree with, and appreciate your post very much. I’m sorry it took so long for me to post back, I have had some issues to take care of I had Covid symptoms recently from stomach, and tooth infections causing some what of sepsis. Also some brain stem issues that have caused me to pass out of of conciousnious . It has also caused me to not be able to move for like 5 minutes when I wake up it just started about 2 weeks ago. So I apologize sincerely for not getting back to your guys replies I know I do this a lot, I just had a lot of physical things going on right now AND spiritual.

He wasn’t subduing me into submission, I was strapped down with three straps accoss my body from chest to knees, with two sets of hand cuffs on both wrists to the rails on both sides of the hospital bed, and I was so sedated on the drug they gave me through the three injections while I was being held down by the 3 officers. I remember him placing his hands on my neck from behind me, and squeezing, not his fingers, and I kept with all my strength with being so restrained and sedated trying to move my head back, and forth to gain breath, but kept blacking out for what felt for atleast 15 minutes on and off. It felt like I was fading into complete darkness in and out, that’s the honest truth, and how I am now, I appreciate you asking, I’m clean from drugs, and the experience made me stronger, it also taught me that people have flaws, and too forgive like Jesus did… But in these past couple weeks I have been thinking about it, and I just have been feeling a little anger, feeling like he may do or have done something similar to someone else you know. So it was a very bad expierience, but good came from it too, and then to add to it I was slightly abused by the cops on the transportation to the phyciatric hospital, I asked to go to the bathroom I live near escanaba MI so Detroit was a decently long drive away, which was where the phiciatric hospital was located, and I had to go to the bathroom so the cop stopped at the gastation, and I figured he was going to bring me in the bathroom and allow me to go pee instead him knowing I asked over 2 times to go on the drive there he stopped and got gas. Then I kept knocking on the window lightly because I was worried he was just going to get gas, and not let me go in, and use the restroom, and then he opened the police back door than put his thumb on my pulse area really hard and told me to shut the F up your not going so hold it. I then not out of fear, but out of compliance, shook my head, and said ok as well as I could with his thumb pushed into my throat or pulse area I should say. The phyciatrisc hospital I went too after was in Detroit like I said, and they also don’t treat you very kindly there in that area, better than I was being treated by the hospital staff in escanaba and police of course, but just not kindly. I firmly believe that if you take it the right way what doesn’t kill you does REALLY make you a better man. Hard expierences if you don’t let them harden your heart will ensure spiritual growth in my opinion, in my case atleast in some ways. And thank you for your kind words, I feel too that the Holy Spirit is telling me anger may feel right, but in my heart I know forgiveness is trully the right thing to do. Also that I should hope for him to be saved, and let God do the judging, like I put in my post thank you for your advice it I was definitely helpfull…

I am the one who made the post, and I made a comment yesterday, and wanted to also add to that last comment. I do fully believe that if you have turned to God Almighty and to his son Jesus Christ, and are still in the midst of repentance wethor it be years long repentance or a week long, it is ok if your still a sinner during that time, you can be forgiven no matter what. Jesus said a man may be forgiven not “7 times but 77 times” meaning an unlimited amount of times basically, and even after turning to God and Christ yet still a man can stilL be forgiven without full repentance, but I don’t agree that a man or woman can make it through heavens gates without being fully repented of there sins. Everyone will always have some sin in there life, yes this is true, but I mean the turning away from there former sins, and the sins that actually mean something I don’t mean driving in a car and letting exhaust fumes in the air, I don’t mean watching tv or using video game technology, I mean sins like drug, use and cigarettes, gang activity, murder all different a types of lust need to be turned away from before a man or woman can enter the kingdom of heaven OTHERWISE heaven would be filled with sinners greedy lust filled pressure seeking sinners, and that’s not the case heavens perfect and filled with the righteous 😇.

Rev - 22:12 Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. James 2:26 - As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. Both verses came after Jesus, one written by John the apostle later written in revalation literally spoken by Jesus, the other spoken from one of his other apostles “James”... So how can you say works don’t matter? Don’t get me wrong, the Bible doesn’t lie, we are saved through faith and through Christ and he did die for our sins giving us his righteousness, if we turn to him. I also get that if we are in Christ, and he in us we are repented already, because we are clean, and reborn and usually will dislike sin... But I don’t like false Christian’s who say just because they accept Christ that they can sin, and get away with it because here’s another verse to prove that theory wrong... “Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. I don’t know where in the Bible it says that but I know it says it.

I have told this story on here a year or two back, and nobody believed me when I told it, but there was one part I left out and this may be why nobody believed me. The part I left out was that I was getting my blood tooken because of an evaluation.... The story I told is this, I will tell the story again but this time the WHOLE story. It’s started with me telling my counselor I don’t feel much hope for living anymore but I had no intention in committing suicide or hurting myself, I just was into a lot of drugs and addicted to many of them and alcohol too, and was starting to feel hopeless so they wanted to send me to a phyciatrist hospital just for a week to get on the right depression meds and to talk with more experienced counselors about my drug use/childhood trauma etc... and because they said when I said I didn’t have much hope for living they took that as a cry for help as if I was going to do something serious or as if it could lead to something serious if not addressed, which I would never do something to hurt myself I like living I just didn’t see a reason for hope anymore. So I was escorted to the hospital ”ER” to get blood testing, and a urine sample done because I guess you have to get tested to make sure your healthy before being sent to a phyciatrist hospital. and also they had to do a evaluation by an expert in phcology to see if I ACTUALLY NEEDED TO GO FOR DEPRESSION. So while I was there when they went to take my blood, for one I’ll say I had great veins my blood was always easy to draw, and the lady that was trying to draw my blood poked me like 3 times and finally I said can I please get another nurse to come draw my blood because she kept stabbing me in the tendon also... So instead of that she stabs the needle in my arm again and squeezes my forearm really hard, and starts pushing upwards towards the needle, and then grabbing back down towards the bottom of my forearm again very VERY TIGHTLY and moving here hand up my forearm again and doing it multiple times to get blood to push into the needle and I mean squeezing as hard as she possibly could and she was a beefy lady not a peteet one. That’s not how you take blood , and that was WITH the rubber band tied around my upper arm for the 2 minutes, my arm was literally turning as red as a tamatoe. So I said screw it, if this is going to be how it’s going to be, then so be it, and I ungrasped her hand from my forearm and untied the band from my bicep and pulled the needle out of my arm, was that the wisest thing to do no, but they were going too far. Then I walked out the door and the officers started chasing me, because there were officers there because they were the ones who escorted me to the hospital, so I ran like 13 feet then stopped and turned around and said look I’m not trying to run... And before I could finish saying anything about getting a different nurse the officer tackled me, and he was a good 250 pounds and 5 foot 9 and another piled on top of me also a good 230 pounds 5 foot 6 then another held my legs down at that point I got angry and emotional, so I looked up and said to God because yes at the time I was into drugs and feeling hopeless, but I still was a firm believer in God the almighty king and believes and Christ. So anyway I looked up in tears and anger, and said out loud God give me strength, and I pushed both officers off of me, and stood up while shaking the officer off of my legs. The officer on my legs was about 5 foot 5 190 pounds, and I’m 5 foot 4 200 pounds, just so all of you know I’m just mentioning these things so the story can be pictured a little more in depth. But back to the story I pushed them off and shook the officer off of my legs, and that happened over and over about 6 times. The third time I was pushed to the ground a female nurse came and gave me a shot to sedate me, still it didn’t effect me and I stood back up again pushing them off of me, then she gave me another shot, and then until the nurse came and gave me a third shot of the sedative I went limp, and out of it and could barely move or talk and was basically drooling. Then they carried me into the hospital room, and finally got a different nurse to draw my blood after strapping me down with three straps across my body, and hand cuffing me with two sets of hand cuffs on each wrist to the rails on each side of the bed a little too far if ask me, as if the sedating drugs and straps weren’t already enough. What I’m getting too though is this while I was sedated heavily strapped down from chest to knees and hand cuffed with 4 sets of hand cuffs there was one officer left in the room watching me, and he kept choking me from behind the bed, and it’s the truth because my mom walked in and caught him doing it, he would keep grasping my neck very tightly with both hands, and before my mom ever even brought it up to me I brought it up to her, and she said she knows she walked in, and seen it her self, and all I remember was being heavily sedated and gasping for my breath and blacking in and out for what felt like 15 minutes it felt like darkness, and I don’t mean like sleeping or having my eyes closed. My mom told the nurses I guess, and the police officer just told them he was checking my pulse, which he wasn’t he was choking me with both hands, and because he’s a police officer he got away with it. I never tried bringing it to court and pressing charges, because I always remember Jesus saying forgive a man not 7 times but 77 times, and to turn the cheek when someone does you wrong, and how when they nailed him to the cross he said forgive them father for they not know what they do. So I figured it was best to forgive the man realize he was probably angry that I gave him such a hard struggle outside the room, and to leave it in the past. Now my question is... should I have forgiven the man, and not brought it to court like I did or should I have made him stand accountable for his actions, lose his job and sit in jail for who knows what possibly attempt of murder on a a defenseless sedated handcuffed strapped down young man? I ask because I am just in this past week starting to feel emotions about the subject, and starting to feel a little anger about it. I feel like he got off to easily, and what if he tried doing that to another defensliss person. I guess before I always just figured if he turns to God and repents he will be forgiven, if not let God handle him when the man passes away sadly. If you read this whole story without just skipping past words I thank you greatly and it’s much appreciated God bless your kind heart this was a long post and every word of this story is true not a single word is added too or tooken from.

Thank you I like this answer and completely agree with Deborah. I appreciate all of the time people took to comment and help but I like the answers on here about faith with works because I was gonna add that to my post actually James 2:14-18 faith without works is dead he says so how can we be saved by faith alone and Deborah explained very well exactly what I wanted to say thank you Deborah. sorry if I put no punctuation I am very tired hopefully my reply is readable.

That’s what I have been trying to say thank you sir/young man not sure how old you are, but just as James said faith without works is dead James 2:14-18 faith is VERY IMPORTSNT YES but so are WORKS without repentance from sin and atleast trying to do good your just a wicked person who belives in Christ also as James said even demons believe James 2:19 that doesn’t mean there saved. I mean no disrespect to anyone by saying the thing I say I’m just saying what I believe to be true and also I agree with this persons comment.

I have to complement you on all the scripture you quoted,them verses were very wisely picked especially Galatians 5:23… So I appreciate you taking your time to put it all in your comment. Thank you, very much appreciated. I still believe we should do our best to not sin though. I do however believe that yes we are saved through Christ Jesus by faith in him because of his great sacrifice, and in God and through scripture, but I also believe we need to be loyal servants, and try to do our best to be as righteous as possible.

True but that’s still turning from your wicked ways and repenting. Like I said, God puts that spark in our hearts, and from there he helps us turn from our wicked ways, but yet still it’s repenting, it’s not just oh I’m gonna have faith in Christ, and keep on doing drugs, abusing my wife and child, and being involved in gang activity, and all of a sudden the persons saved, no that’s not how it works… But again like I’ve said to others replies, I do also have faith in Christ and believe in him fully, and do believe that faith in him saves, but I believe it also takes a step of repentance and a turning away from sin wethor or not it’s work you did or God doing all the work for the person repentance from sin is needed. Because people seem too think they can believe in Christ and follow him, and yet still go out to the clubs, and get wasted, and go home to there kid and husband letting there kid see them wasted every weekend, and just go to confession and it’s all good and forgiven… Novthats not ok, maybe if it happens a couple times but not consistently.

I get what your saying and I do agree 😇. I will say though I don’t like to sin anymore, I used to very much, mainly when it came to substance abuse. Also thank you for being such a kind person I appreciate and feel much care for kind people I feel that they deserve to be treated with the up most respect, all people do but especially someone with a kind heart.

Thank you them verses were helpful…

Thank you for saying repentance of sin is although still very important, and yes I know that the literal term for repentance means to change one’s mind… Though I feel it stands for the changing of one’s heart, and to turn from sin.

So you think it’s alright for a man to sleep with prostitutes abuse women physically, and mentally do heroin daily smoke cigarettes be an alcoholic and be a greedy selfish man who also abuses children and teaches them to do wrong things and as long as he has faith in Christ and believes and accepts him as there lord and savior it’s ok and that there going to heaven I disagree Jesus taught way differently than that for one he said for those who causes one of his little ones to sin is better off with a heavy stone tied around there neck and thrown into the sea and yes he was all about forgiveness me to I could forgive someone for doing me wrong for anything but it doesn’t mean that they can not ask for forgiveness or not repent and just have faith in Christ and accept him and be saved… sorry for no punctuation.

First I’d like to say I’m a firm believer in God the Almighty Father and his son Christ Jesus who died on the cross and is our savior…. So you think it’s alright for a man to sleep with prostitutes abuse women physically, and mentally do heroin daily smoke cigarettes be an alcoholic and be a greedy selfish man who also abuses children and teaches them to do wrong things and as long as he has faith in Christ and believes and accepts him as there lord and savior it’s ok and that there going to heaven I disagree Jesus taught way differently than that for one he said for those who causes one of his little ones to sin is better off with a heavy stone tied around there neck and thrown into the sea and yes he was all about forgiveness me to I could forgive someone for doing me wrong for anything but it doesn’t mean that they can not ask for forgiveness or not repent and just have faith in Christ and accept him and be saved… sorry for no punctuation.

The Bible says for we are saved by faith and not by our own works, and true I do believe we are saved by faith, but the Bible also says we must repent and turn from our wicked ways, then put our faith in Christ Jesus to saved. So how can it say we are not saved by works when we have to stop sinning, and we have to repent. Yes I will be the one to say it’s usually done through God putting that spark of light in our hearts, and showing us that sin is wrong not that we don’t already know that sin is wrong, but as men and women we sometimes get lost in sin and sometimes can’t see the wrong we do with a clear mind. Still we do have to do work… For example a drug addiction, it’s hard to come off of drugs, trust me I know, and that takes work, I can’t say I did it alone because without the father I never could have gotten off of drugs, but I still did, and it took work, and if I didn’t get of the drugs I would not have been saved I wouldn’t have been a repented man, and I would still be the the same drug addicted alcoholic cussing pridefull man I was then. Thankfully God put that spark in my heart and helped me through the suffering aka WORK… I just don’t like it when people seem to think that if they accept Jesus as there lord and savior that it’s ok to sin, yes everybody sins at sometime or another, but drugs drinking smoking lust etc… are not aloud. You will not be saved just by faith without putting in the work to stop, and avoid them things And I mean no disrespect to the Bible verse nor am I saying what it says is false, I just have a hard time agreeing with it, and was hoping some other Christian’s could shed some light on the subject.
