What would you do in this situation?

No, it means that salvation does not come from good deeds in this world. It comes from the grace of Christ. And that alone. Any eartly pursuit that gets in the way of receiving that should be eliminated from your life.
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

You don't get His grace if He don't like you. P.S. You are truly amazing. You make an established religion look like some bizarre cult. I am not sure if you really mean all this. This must be some kind of joke, if it isn't, I feel sorry for you.

Get off the drugs, apply for social assistance in order to get a mailing address and then get a paying job doing whatever you can get to earn money, get off social assistance and be independent. Then work your way up to more through suffering, hard work, toil and sweat. Money doesn't fall in your pocket - you have to work (hard) for it. You know, basically the same thing that people have been telling you since you started posting these cries for help...
You make the presumption that anybody is able to work and earn money, whatever the problems one can suffer. In the RealWordTM, not anybody is able to do so and can be psychologically unfit to organize oneself/deal with the working stress/ deal with hierarchy/deal with other workers/etc... The psychological distress is too often negated, especially by self confident people who cannot understand why the others aren't like they are.

No, all you need do is ask for it.

The synoptic gospels can't seem to come to a consensus. For examples, see: Matthew 16.27 "For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works." vs John 3:36 "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life." Mark 16:16 "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved." But I'm sure that however you choose to interpret those passages your interpretation turns out to be the "correct" one - you just have to interpret the bible in the "correct" way. OH GEE IT ALL MAKES SENSE WHEN YOU INTERPRET SOME THINGS AS BEING COMPLETELY LITERAL AND OTHERS AS BEING SYMBOLIC. :rolleyes:

I would like to keep this thread fairly respectful. I'm not here to start a flame war. You are living in a dump with your family with no utilities whatsoever. You get electricity from your vehicle, water and food from the store, and you have a two burner portable propane stove. Your mother died of an overdose of morphine so you want to leave this house. You have been evicted and sued due to an argument with the landlady that ended with you cursing her out. You have several small animals to take care of.. Also you are mostly responsible for your little brother who is also autistic. What do you do?
There's no shame to ask for help when in need. With such a background of violence and instability, I would tend also to think about counseling.

Well, we just need to instantiate some breeding restrictions until that is no longer the case.

Are you a Christian, Stan? Do you believe in the tripartite God?

Who decides what are the restrictions and who is restricted?

Well, it appeared that you were able to tell those folks who are psychologically unable to work for a living - so I guess you do.
