“I hate double-minded men, but I love your law,”(Ps. 119:113). “But if he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways,” (James 1: 6-8).
Schizophrenia is a spiritual problem:
- Psychologist see it as a mental disorder.
- Manifests itself by a person acting out two or more personalities.
- Scriptures says, “That person is unstable in all his ways.”
Author William Menzies Alexander gives the following characteristic of demon possession; automatic representation and persistent and consistent acting out a “New Personality” and evidence of a knowledge and intellectual power neither possessed by the subject nor explicable on the pathological hypothesis; change of personality, involving complete change of moral character. These are but the misapprehensions of an uninstructed mind and may be briefly dismissed.
The passage from sanity to insanity implies a change of personality:
- The change follows a recognized pathological order.
- There is sometimes a morbid exaltation of certain faculties; but never any real augmentation of intellectual power.
- The dictum of esquirol has in view the fact that moral deterioration is an integral part of the morbid process.
