I suggest you read my posts on Divine Psychology and then tell me I am insane.

I wouldn't say "insane" but probably some form of mental ailment.

The church already teaches Paul's word is perfection, otherwise he wouldn't be half of the NT. The NT consists more of Paul's words than Jesus', by a large margin. I find that worrying. Jesus should have been enough and WAS enough, but someone had to come along and complicate the message.
However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.
Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.”

heres one issue...
However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.
Faith without works makes most of what Jesus taught null and void...
Why give to the needy when you have faith?
Why turn the other cheek when you have faith?
Why have mercy on those that do not deserve it... when you have faith?
why forgive others that have sinned against you when you have faith...
Faith without works of the spirit is not faith... It is nothing but words with no action...

I didn't know faith was a mental ailment. The bible says if you pray for interpretation and believe you will receive it you have already received it. I prayed for the gift of interpretation believed I would receive it and I did. What part of this makes me mentally ill?

Though evidence is given when one asks for it with a true heart

In his defence... there is a difference between faith an knowledge...
Faith is belief in something without evidence...
Though evidence is given when one asks for it with a true heart...
Faith becomes knowing when that is what one truly wants
7. Mohammad – Islam which is the scroll predicted in revelation that would prophecy again. The Koran says we are waiting for interpretation. bahai-library.com... Much of the current state of Islam is do to weaponizing extremist that follow the Hadith. If the extremist who were willing to kill the current leaders and take over the country were never weaponized by outside governments it is likely that Islam would not be what it has become. Mohammad did not teach extremism, he taught that when someone tries to take what is yours by killing or enslaving you that you fight as if God is on your side, this is Jihad. But that peace must always remain the highest goal. The Hadith is an evil document that does not represent the Koran or Mohammad.

That was beautifully put!
I have nothing worthy to add to this thread, however,
you put that so well I wanted to say SOMETHING!
Also after reading this I want to add my opinion:
A person does not need religion to have a relationship with the creator.
