Today we hear so much about “self care” that can so easily tip into “selfish care”. I’m wondering if there are some biblical principles/examples that could help one discern if they are fulfilling a “want” or a “need”. 2 Cor. 12:15, Matt. 14:23
Per Luke 17:5-6, it seems as if faith is binary, that you either have it or not, and that it cannot be increased. Is this correct? If so, sometimes we reference a Christian or describe the OT saints in Hebrews 11 as having a lot of faith. How do these reconcile?

1 Samuel 16:14 “But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.” I understand the first half of the verse, but would the second half not be a demon which wouldn’t be from God?

I had always assumed that Jesus grew up normally like any child. But upon coming-of-age gained the wisdom and knowledge that he shared with the scribes at age 12. I recently talked with her brother who seem to think that he gained all his wisdom and knowledge through study like we must. I personally think that Jesus must have had God-given knowledge, or he would just become a very knowledgeable man like Darby or C.S. Lewis. What are your thoughts on this?
