Re: Psychology or Jesus?
There is absolutely no evidence that professional therapists have any
special knowledge of how to change behavior, or that they obtain better
results with any type of client or problem-than those with little or no
formal training....Different schools of therapy offer visions of the
good life and how to live it, and those whose ancestors took comfort
from the words of God and worshiped at the altars of Christ and Yahweh
now take solace from and worship at the altars of Freud, Jung, Carl
Rogers, Albert Ellis...and a host of similar authorities.
--Bernie Zilbergeld, clinical psychologist
Psychiatry...[poses] as the true faith of "Mental Health." It is a
false Messiah.
--E. Fuller Torrey, psychiatrist
[Today's] Church indulges our desire to "feel good" instead of
responding to our need to be spiritually challenged and fed through
solid exposition of the Scriptures. The electronic Church in particular
panders to our appetite for entertainment rather than authentic
discipleship and maturity.
--Joyce Main Hanks
"For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, having been
sold under sin. For what I work out, I do not know. For what I do not
will, this I do. But what I hate, this I do. But if I do what I do not
will, I agree with the law, that it is good. But now I no longer work
it out, but the sin dwelling in me. For I know that in me, that is in
my flesh, dwells no good. For to will is present to me, but to work out
the good I do not find. For what good I desire, I do not do. But the
evil I do not desire, this I do. But if I do what I do not desire, it
is no longer I working it out, but the sin dwelling in me. I find then
the law, when I desire to do the right, that evil is present with me.
For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man; but I see
another law in my members having warred against the law of my mind, and
taking me captive by the law of sin being in my members. O wretched
man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I
thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! (Rom7:14-25)
"..having laid aside every weight and the easily surrounding sin,
through patience let us also run the race set before us, looking to the
Author and Finisher of our faith, Jesus..." (Heb12:1-2)
"Brothers, I do not count myself to have laid hold, but one thing I do,
forgetting the things behind, and stretching forward to those things
before, I press on after a mark for the prize of the high calling of
God in Christ Jesus. Then as many as are perfect, let us be of this
mind; and if you think anything differently, God will also reveal this
to you. (Phil3:13-15)
