Mashutka [201]3 years ago

The literal, contextual and moral of the story about the lost sheep, is that each Individual is precious to God and that He will rejoice even if one sinner repents, and will accept and forgive him wholeheartedly.

Explanation:

The story of lost sheep is about a shepherd  who loses one sheep and goes in search of it, finds it and brings it back home, rejoicing he has found it. He doesn't scold or reprimand the sheep when it is found, but embraces it happily.

This story is a parable, where Jesus compared what the shepherd did, with one sinner accepting his sin and repenting it.

He said that the heaven will rejoice, when even one sinner accepts his sin and repents over 99 righteous people, who do not need to repent.

God will forgive and embrace the, sinner, as in the eyes of God every follower is special and he has love for each of his followers.

Not one, but both, of daniel's parents have schizophrenia. what is the approximate lifetime risk that daniel himself will develo
prisoha [69]
<span>It has been said that certain genes often skip a generation. So, if your parents have a particular abnormality a child might not necessarily get the same abnormality. In the case of schizophrenia I cannot imagine that two schizophrenics would even take a chance of having children. Even if they are on medication it does not mean that their life can be even close to normal. After all, they have to take very goodo care of themselves and also their child. Schizophrenia often does not show up until a person hits the approximate age of 20. There is also a factor of something actually triggering the schizophrenia. Going back to my first sentence I can only hope, for Daniel's sake that he does not develop this mental illness.</span>
