Comments on: Psychology a Pseudo-Science? http://ceruleansanctum.com/2005/06/psychology-pseudo-science.html Looking for the 1st century Church in 21st century America Fri, 18 May 2012 15:18:04 +0000 hourly 1 By: Kenneth G.

A lot of hostility here. We all need grace that's for sure. I guess the bottom line is: Either God's word and the blood of Jesus Christ is sufficient, or it is not. The scriptures makes this claim. Either you believe it, or you don't. I guess people have to make the final decision. If you insist on seeing a psychologist, you better make sure you are totally grounded in the word of God. Because you WILL be exposed to a belief system that in many ways, contradicts God's word. And the only way that you will know this, is if you are totally grounded in God's word. Another thing. Psychology, for the most part, is completely man-centered. The gospel of Jesus Christ and the word of God, are completely God centered. And consider the people behind many of the theories that exist today. Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, etc.. These men were outspoken atheists. Remember that when you test the teachings and beliefs of psychology against God's word, that you don't put the cart before the horse. In other words, don't come to the scriptures with psychological theories and beliefs and force God's word to conform. It's the other way around. God's word is the standard, not our preconceived belief systems. I personally don't understand why people don't just simply trust and believe God's word for what it is. When it comes to psychology, the issue is not if it helps people, but does it contradict the word of God. Upon careful study, one will see a glaring, obvious difference between what the scriptures tell us and what Psychologists are telling us today. Whew! I could go on & on & on.... But I've said enough. I'm sticking to the word Of God! God Bless You All! Wow! A lot of hostility here. We all need grace that’s for sure.

Thinking that Christian counseling and reading the gospel can cure someone with bipolar illness or other biologically based illnesses is just as crazy as having someone only pray and read scriptures to cure cancer. You may preach one way, but if it was your family member or a good friend, I bet you would think otherwise. Let god judge others. I just wanted to add two cents here. Not everyone is a Christian.
