Elijah had PTSD. He murdered 450 priests of Baal off his own back....God never told him to do that.
Jonah was racist and had a bad attitude....fertile ground for depression
Judas who was given the gift of healing and raising the dead....his presumption that he could force Jesus' hand to take political leadership fell into sufficient disappointment and guilt he preferred to die. That's a pretty bad depression.
It was written in the law to put to death those who praticed such things . Elijah only done what the law itself had required to be done .
Jonah was NO racist . This stuff sounds like the social justice inclusive has been at work on you .
Jonah was in error , sure . But not racists . He simply fled from GOD
But GOD reminded him about HIS MERCY and if folks will repent GOD forgives .
But no racism
and no Elijah did not have PTSD . HE was afraid for his life .
He realized , IF you read the bible , that the jezebel had sent letters warning him
HE WOULD BE AS DEAD as those prophets he had killed . SO he fled .
He fled also beleiving that there was NONE who sought after GOD and etc .
BUT GOD also reminded him , I have SEVEN thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal .
WE really should read the bible for ourselves , rather than heeding social justice one world inclusive fouled up interpretations .
ALL they are doing is trying to make this people AS ONE , AND JESUS IS BEING DENIED by them all .
SO let none sit under them . Rather let us learn the scriptures for ourselves . Be encouraged now .

Maybe you don't understand how PTSD or racism manifests?

I do understand about PTSD and also racism .
It is just that i also understand how they are manipulating even much of the church
about what they say IS racism and perhaps PTSD , though i have not heard them ever use the phrase PTSD .
But their idea , this social justice and what it calls racism . OH ITS RACISM all right
But not as they preach it . White has become the old black , and now gets the BLAME
of all the worlds problems . WHITE . its skin color HOMIE
and just as the black so too is the white, ALL ARE EVIL from his youth and NEEDS TO BELEIVE ON JESUS .
Racism . THEY dont even understand it . THEY just use some truths
to plant lies . in order to seduce man into a so called solution that man will beleive is for its own best interest .
WHEN IN FACT it was for these rich elites ALL ALONG . WE ALL being duped my friend .
AND how very clear it is , That CURSED BE the man whose hope was in man .
We should have stuck to the scriptures
We should have learned Christ and all sound doctrine for our own selves .
This leaders , ON both political sides and both protestant and RCC , DOES NOTHING but lead this people astray
and into a snare and a trap . promising them this is the way to peace and safety
This is the way to freedom . BUT NO SIR ITS ALL BONDAGE and the very thing they thought would set them free
IS GONNA BE THEIR END . they lie to us . THEY LIE to us . better bible up my friend . for many there be who lie to us .

I want you to quietly think , to read and to enjoy the scriptures to learn for yourself .
All i desire is the good of this people . But i am telling you and all others
WE ARE BEING decieved big time and specially in this last hour .
Satan knows how to manipulate , as do his co workers who work to build what they believe is their kingdom
BUT IT IS the KINGDOM of the beast . satan is using the greed of man to build HIS own empire fit and ready for the beast .
HE is using the lusts of man , the fears of man to manipulate man right into THE SNARE .
The church has GOT to back away from these people . we must return to the scriptures to learn for ourselves .
Many are not gonna make it my friend . And i dont desire their destruction or their death .
SO this sheep GONNA WARN and I AM GONNA remind us all
GET BACK into the bible for yourselves and let us learn THAT GOD , HIS CHRIST and all sound doctrine for ourselves .
