Sōphronismos

  Sōphronismos is salvation of your thinking.  It's a saved mind and a stable disciplined mind.  This Greek word is used one time in 2 Timothy 1:7.

  For Elohiym has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, of love, and of a sound mind.

  Fear in this verse would be more accurately translated to being timid or being a coward.  If you fit in with the population of Earth, you might be a spiritual coward.  

  Crazy medically is to say becoming mentally deranged or obsessed.  Mentally deranged is to have had multiple traumas, socially, physically or emotionally. It may have prohibited the person from thinking clearly, having the ability to develop into multiple mental illnesses and mental disabilities that hinder the person’s life. If it worsens, the person has neurological disorders.  This is structural, biochemical or electrical abnormalities in the brain.  

  Let's take being obsessed for an example.  Porn has the ability to make people obsessed.  This may lead to real traumatic experiences preventing them not to think clearly.  The brain becomes programmed that may change the brainwaves of a person or they may be seen as being brainwashed.  A little spiritual stability in the first place can prevent the episode by overcoming porn.  

  Without the Spirit of Love (agape), it is to wax cold.  The Greek word for waxing cold is psycho.  Synonyms for psycho I quote: "balmy, barmy, bats, batty, bedlam, bonkers, brainsick, bughouse, certifiable, crackbrained, cracked, crackers, crackpot, cranky, crazed, crazy, cuckoo, daffy, daft, demented, deranged, fruity, gaga, haywire, insane, kooky, loco, loony, loony tunes, lunatic, mad, maniac, mental, moonstruck, non compos mentis, nuts, nutty, psychotic, scatty, screwy, unbalanced, unhinged, unsound, wacko, wacky."

  A spirit of fear is not the spirit of fearing Yahuah as in the seven spirits of the Holy Spirit. This spirit of fear is being timid, it is keeping silent about Yahusha.  Fear is not confessing or not confirming their faith in Yahusha Hamashia before others. Timid people will find themselves with the murderers, the whoremongers, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, in the Lake of Fire. 

  Legally, being of sound mind is to say the person has sufficient mental capacity to understand their actions. But spiritually a person also understands their actions if they are timid. They also understand their actions if they lost their compassion and becomes a psycho.  Being of Sound mind (Sōphronismos) is salvation of your thinking.  Salvation comes from Yahusha Hamashia called Jesus Christ.  If you are timid and compassionate, your compassion is mostly waisted or useless.  If you fear following Yahusha, He doesn't know you.  That's like the foolish virgins, doing things in Yahusha's name without being known by Him, not having oil for their lamps, not knowing the Holy Spirit.  If doing things in the church is a business, Yahusha Hamashia doesn't know you.  If you do things for others because you are motivated by the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit will make you known in Heaven.  If we are not disciplined in the salvation of our mind, how can we be disciples? 

  When asked if all timid people are going to hell, I asked Yahuah for the answer.  He responded:

  And He looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.  And He saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.  (Two small brass coins) And He said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow has cast in more than they all:  For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of Yahuah: but she of her penury has cast in all the living that she had.  Luke 21:1-4

  The meaning is, if a timid person says all the witness they can do, they have said more than a outgoing person only saying a little that is politically correct.  Most likely the outgoing person is prideful and the timid person is praying, "let me say the correct thing God."

1-2) When Mary had said this, she fell silent, since it was to this point that the Savior had spoken with her.  But Andrew answered and said...
