    • Should Christians place greater trust in human-created philosophies or should a genuine Christian ground their desires from the scriptural perspective on the frailties of the mind and body? Psychology often falls short when it clashes with personal beliefs, regardless of the intentions behind it. James 1:14, Romans 12: 2 It also acts as a guide to clarify misconceptions, such as labeling "shunning" as an evil act rather than recognizing it as a corrective measure or a personal choice. This suggests a misunderstanding on the part of experts, more so than scholars, regarding psychological matters. The forum is structured around Christian ethics.

    • The statement "A (cigarette) pack a day keeps lung cancer away" is completely false and misleading. In reality, smoking a pack of cigarettes a day significantly increases the risk of developing lung cancer, along with many other serious health issues such as heart disease, stroke, and respiratory illnesses. Smoking is one of the leading causes of lung cancer, and quitting or avoiding smoking altogether is the best way to reduce your risk.
