Crime

Activist: Crime is a 'health crisis'

A problem with that idea is it makes connections that could get inverted: If crimes can be considered health problems, then true health problems could be considered crimes. This is especially dangerous when it comes to “mental health.” Theological beliefs could be considered mental health problems and then be considered crimes.

People don't commit crime because of a lack of health or because of poverty. Crime is a form of sin, and people are sinful. That's why people commit crime and why we need Jesus. There is nothing wrong in our culture today—including our politics—that is not addressed by the Gospel and healing the heart of man.
