Conclusion to the 500 year historical overview: The insane were not distinguished from other poor, lazy beggars or violent out of control criminals. Insanity was viewed as a collection of odd or sinful behaviours not a disease. Insanity was believed to be caused by sinful living contrary to the gospel of Jesus Christ and unless the "insane" committed a crime, they were never jailed but instead roamed free throughout the cities and countryside unhindered in spite of their peculiar behaviours. The concept of a psychiatric diagnosis was non-existence and people judged the insane on the basis of their words and actions against the moral code of the Bible. A man was not seen as "melancholy or ... However, this all changed at the time when King Henry VIII divorced his wife and married Anne Boleyn.

The church about which we read in the Bible is no exception to this need. The New Testament church is not a democracy. It is not an institution where every member has voting rights as to what it does and what it does not do. Quite to the contrary, it is a monarchy. It is a divine monarchy.
