Proverbs
21:30, “There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.”
By David J. Stewart
I
triple-dog dare you to look up the word "sin" in any psychology dictionary. Here's a Google search for "psychology dictionary"... Good luck trying to
find a definition for the word "sin"...
You WON'T find it! You see, the concept
of sin is not recognized by modern psychology. How can a psychologist
even begin to understand the human nature if the reality of sin is ignored? They can't. The Word of God is absolutely essential to understanding
the human psyche, for no other Book on the planet addresses the issue of man
being a vile sinner. Psychology is sinful because it attempts to heal
men's souls without addressing the issues of sin, repentance, or God. Psychology is of the Devil.
So what do modern psychologists base their
beliefs on, if not the Bible? To no surprise, much of today's
psychology is rooted in the atheistic beliefs of Sigmund Freud
(1856-1939)...
Photo to Right: Atheist and
Evolutionist, Sigmund Freud (who commit suicide in his old age)
The father of
psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud is best known for his tendency to trace
nearly all psychological problems back to sexual issues. Although only
parts of his theory of psychosexual development are still accepted by
mainstream psychologists, Freud's theory of the Oedipal Complex has
become a cultural icon nevertheless. Other now-famous Freudian
innovations include the therapy couch, the use of talk therapy to
resolve psychological problems, and his theories about the unconscious
-- including the role of repression, denial, sublimation, and
projection. Initially a Viennese medical doctor, Freud was trained in
neurology, and he originally drew inspiration from the work of
Charles Darwin which explained behavior in evolutionary terms. But
Freud's introduction to hypnotherapy and to the stunning revelations it
elicited from mentally ill patients led him to develop a revolutionary
theory of the mind and of the dynamics underlying human behavior. While
Freud's theories have always been controversial, his work forms a
major portion of the foundations of modern psychology, with
considerable modification by later theorists.
Freud's work forms a MAJOR PORTION of
the foundation of modern psychology. Sigmund Freud was an avowed
atheist, who believed in the evolutionary process of life. Freud was a
devout Christ-rejecter. Freud is quoted as saying...
"Neither in my private
life nor in my writings, have I ever made a secret of being an out and
out unbeliever."
As with many psychologists today, Freud, the
father of modern psychology, commit suicide in 1939...
He was 83 years old
when he asked his doctor to end his life, and died of a
physician-assisted morphine overdose in London on September 23, 1939.
Are you starting to see what is deathly wrong
with psychology? How could modern psychology, that is largely based
upon the work of an avowed atheist, even begin to understand the concept of
sin? It cannot! Sin is completely ignored by the occult, New
Age, Wicca, psychology, psychiatry, et cetera.
Proverbs 19:21,
“There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD,
that shall stand.”
Sin
is the true problem in society today. What is sin? Sin is the
violation of God's Laws. 1st John 3:4... "Whosoever committeth sin
transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." How does modern psychology deal with an alcoholic? How do they deal
with a rebellious wife who is emotionally distraught? How does modern
psychology deal with a homosexual? Drunkenness, rebellion, and
homosexuality are all condemned as SIN in the Bible (1st Corinthians 6:10;
1st Samuel 15:23; Romans 1:24-32).
Modern psychology refuses to
recognize drunkenness as sin; but rather, they call it a "chemical
dependency." Homosexuality is a morally reprehensible sin in the Word
of God; but modern psychologists call it an "alternative lifestyle." A
rebellious wife may be diagnosed with hormonal imbalance, regressive anger,
post-traumatic stress, clinical depression, or even a
chemical-imbalance-of-the-brain; BUT no psychologist would dare cut to the
chase of the matter--REBELLION IS AS THE SIN OF WITCHCRAFT! (1st Samuel
15:23).
Society is royally messed up today because
people REFUSE to repent of sin. The greatest sin of all is unbelief,
for it is the only sin which can keep a person out of Heaven (John 3:36). There can be no healing of the mind or soul apart from making peace with God
(Romans 5:1), and that can only happen through the precious blood of Jesus
Christ that washes our sins away (1st John 1:7; 1st Peter 1:18,19). Do
you think your psychologist is going to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ
with you, and tell you how you can KNOW, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that
you can go to Heaven when you die?
No, they surely won't. They
can't, because most are atheists themselves. All psychologists work
closely with psychiatrists, the only difference being that psychiatrists are
licensed to prescribe drugs, but psychologists aren't. Most of the
time, you will be prescribed some sort of drug when you seek help from a
psychiatrist. If you go to a psychologist, they will likely refer you
to a psychologist. It's all a big scam if you ask me.
The ROOT problem of mankind was, is, and always
will be his love for sin (John 3:20).
What's Right with Psychology?
Perhaps a better question than the title of
this article is... "What's right with psychology?" Modern psychology
is rooted in Humanism and the unproven theory of Evolution. Sigmund
Freud was strongly influenced by Charles Darwin...
"...he originally drew
inspiration from the work of Charles Darwin which explained behavior in
evolutionary terms."
Although Darwin attended church in the earlier
days of his life, and then quit, it is unmistakably clear that he had
churchianity without Christianity. Charles Darwin was a
Christ-rejecting, Bible-denier, who stated that he could...
"...hardly see how anyone
ought to wish Christianity to be true; for if so the
plain language of the text seems to show that the men
who do not believe, and this would include my Father,
Brother and almost all my best friends, will be
everlastingly punished. And this is a damnable
doctrine."
SOURCE: Darwin, Charles (1887), in Darwin, F, The
life and letters of Charles Darwin, including an
autobiographical chapter; London: John Murray
(The Autobiography of Charles Darwin)
From it's roots, modern psychology has it's
origins in atheism and the unproven theories of evolution. Psychology
is effectively synonymous with Modernism, worldliness, Humanism, Evolution,
and the occult...
"The greatest aspect
of holistic health is its recognition of the role played by mind in
health. "Mind is omnipotent"said Freud..."
Is that what the Word of God teaches ... that
the Mind is Omnipotent? Freud is wrong! Does not
Jeremiah 17:9 declare... "The heart is deceitful above all things, and
desperately wicked: who can know it?" The only thing "omnipotent"
about mankind is our ability and tendency to sin. We are all stumbling
failures apart from the salvation which God offers to us through Jesus
Christ. "Heart" is the Bible refers to man's subconscious mind--and
our innermost self is certainly saturated with sinfulness (Romans 3:23). This is the sin-nature, another term you'll never find in modern
psychology. If there is no God, then there need be no morality, nor
absolutes to live by.
Concerning the monster of television in
America, Brother Lester Roloff said...
“The Devil's
got a way of taking people's brains out and they never know it, and a
man without any brains is in bad shape!”
There is nothing correct about modern
psychology. Psychology is poisonous from it's roots, which is atheism. Freud based his beliefs largely upon Darwin's theoretical evolutionary
process of man's development. As a result, Freud's work is flawed,
having left out God. How can a man study the human soul without
including the Creator of the soul? (John 1:10).
Psychology, Sexual Immorality, and New
Age Occultism
Everywhere
we go nowadays, we are seeing the yin-yang symbol of the occult (pictured to
right). The symbol itself dates back at least to the fourth century
B.C., and has been identified with the Eastern philosophical religions of
Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. In the Western world it has long
been adopted into the symbolism of myth, magic, astrology, and witchcraft. The yin/yang symbol is quite appropriate today for Humanists, New Agers,
secular educators, psychologists, witches, Satanists, et cetera. As
Michael Tierra, a proponent of the yin/yang theory, states:
"The Yin/Yang theory is a
teaching method and does not define anything absolute.'' There are seven
laws concerning the yin/yang, one of which is: "2. Everything changes."
This is an important item to notice. The idea that "everything
changes" does not agree with the Bible. Hebrews 13:8 tells us that
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He doesn't
change. James 1:17 also states... "Every good gift and every
perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with
whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." Malachi 3:6
tells us, "I am the Lord, I CHANGE NOT." God is immutable,
i.e., He cannot change, because He is a Holy (morally perfect) God.
The New Age Movement looks favourably on
homosexuality and immorality. One particular group that knows the
sexual implications of the yin/yang, and intentionally uses it as their
official symbol, is The Sex Information and Education Council of the
United States (SIECUS). This group promotes extensive sex
education in schools. SIECUS Position Statements reveal the following:
"It is the position of
SIECUS that contraceptive services should be available to all--including
minors who should enjoy the same rights of free and independent access
to... contraceptive care as do others... It is the position of SIECUS
that the use of explicit sexual materials (sometimes referred to as
pornography) can serve a variety of important needs in the lives of
countless individuals..."
Another group using the yin/yang (knowingly or
unknowing) is the Girls Scouts. On page 66 of the Girl Scout
Badges and Signs book, the yin/yang symbol is used to represent the
World in My Community proficiency badge. In the Junior Girl
Scout Handbook, yoga exercises are explained. The theme for their
1987 program was "The Year of Magic."
Modern society is absolutely saturated with
demonic influences, from occult New Age to Harry Potter's witchcraft.
Psychology is rooted in the same Satanic principles. Here's a quote
from a leading psychology website, psychology.suite.com, from none
other than miss New Age herself, Oprah Winfrey...
Oprah Reveals How Energy
Flows Where Your Attention Goes
Oprah Winfrey shared The
Secret & showed how to achieve your goals. Here it is in a
nutshell: all you need to know about The Secret book & the Law
of Attraction. The Secret on the Oprah Winfrey Show is all
about the Law of Attraction, which is the most powerful law in
the universe... According to the Secret on the Oprah show, the
law of attraction is the law by which we're creating our
lives... Fears, doubts, and worries are often unconscious.
Spiritual growth means becoming more aware of who you are.
You're consciously and unconsciously sending out orders into the
universe, and you'll get what you order... Do something every
day towards achieving your dreams – because action is the key,
according to the Law of Attraction and The Secret on the Oprah
Show!
It appears that Oprah is out-to-lunch in the
metaphysical realm, i.e., she's nuts! No wonder the Bible warns in 1st
John 4:1... "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits
whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the
world." How do you "try" (i.e., test) a spirit? You test a
spirit the same way you'd test any doctrine, practice, music, etc... with
the Word of God. How does Oprah's teachings measure up in comparison
to the Bible? There's no mention of a "secret law of attraction" in
the Bible. She even calls her heresy, the most powerful law in the
universe. Nonsense! The Law of God is the most powerful Law
in the universe!!! Oprah is wrong, as usual.
Oprah Winfrey influences MILLIONS of American
women for evil, receiving upwards of 20,000,000 viewers daily. One of
her biggest show appearances is Dr. Phil,
a psychologist, who openly supports homosexuality and abortion groups. Millions of Americans look to "Dr. Phil" for answers to their life's
problems, but they ought to be looking to the Word of God instead.
Pat Robertson's CBN Promotes New Age Psychologists!
Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network
(CBN) promotes and recommends ailing Christian leaders to
William Gaultiere (http://www.soulshepherding.org),
a psychologist, who suggests $130 counseling fee to help pastors and other
Christians who are having emotional problems in their life. I looked over
Gaultiere's website, which offers a ton of lame so-called spiritual guidance and
teachings, but the words “sin” and “sinner” aren't found. If THE TRUTH about
sin is ignored, then Mr. Gaultiere is teaching New Age heresy, which also
ignores the reality of sin.
For anyone to teach “spirituality” without
mentioning the fact and remedy for sin (the blood of Jesus, 1st Peter
1:18-19) is teaching New Age heresy. Modern heathen psychology is
rooted in New Age philosophies. The father of modern-day psychology, Sigmund
Freud, went and committed suicide. I wouldn't give you a dime for modern
psychology. Every psychologist is trained in atheistic, humanistic, and
evolutionistic universities. They are
preacher's cemeteries!
I also noticed that the Biblical Gospel is NOT
found anywhere on their website.
In this apostate and faithless generation, it
it not surprising that Christians are flocking to psychologists trained in
heathenistic, evolutionistic, humanistic, and atheistic universities for
emotional help. 2nd Timothy 1:7, “For God hath not given us the spirit of
fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
Psychotherapy is not God's answer to
sin
The Bible gives us an example in the life of
King David in the Old Testament. David stole a man's wife and then murdered
her husband in a conspiracy to cover-up his sins. David later repented at
the preaching of God's man, Nathan. In Psalm 51:1-10 we have God's remedy
for sin...
David acknowledged his transgressions as
sins, and sought forgiveness from God, asking God to cleanse him from
all sin:
Psalm 51:1-4, “Have
mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto
the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me
throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I
acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against
thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that
thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou
judgest. ”
David desired to be clean within, to be
righteous in the eye's of God:
Psalm 51:7-10, “Purge
me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter
than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which
thou hast broken may rejoice. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out
all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a
right spirit within me.”
David memorized Scriptures to help him overcome
sin in his life:
Psalm 119:11,
“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.”
David didn't commit those sins anymore. Thus,
we learn from the Bible that there is a call for all sinners to come to
repentance, to seek God's forgiveness and cleansing from within. The
Scriptures will either keep us from sin (Psalm 119:11); or else sin will
keep us from the Scriptures (John 3:20).
I am against modern psychology, because it is
an agendacized religion intended to lead people into New Age philosophies;
totally ignoring the reality of sin, placing no emphasis upon being
born-again by miracle of God, nor of the critically important Doctrine of
Christ which is the foundation of Biblical Christianity (1st Corinthians
3:11).
The biggest problem with modern
psychology is that it totally ignores the reality of sin and the evil nature of
mankind. God hates when people combine secular demonic psychology with the
Bible, which amounts to
Psychoheresy!
William Gaultiere, Ph.D. is a Psychologist
specializing in “Christian Soul Care” since 1986. Bill and his wife
Kristi (a Marriage and Family Therapist) have a donor-supported ministry
to pastors and leaders called Soul Shepherding. In counseling, spiritual
mentoring, seminars, and retreats Bill and Kristi help people to connect
deeply with Christ in ways that facilitate soul transformation. At Bill
and Kristi’s webstie,
SoulShepherding.org,
you will find articles, prayers, and pictures to nourish your soul in
God.
The hope of the world is Hell, fire and
damnation preaching; not spiritual seminars! Jesus commanded us to
SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES in John 5:39. None of these apostates teaches
soul-winning (Proverb 11:30).
Bill and Krista Gaultiere Teach New
Age Mediation, Occultism, and Chanted Prayers
The SoulShepherding.org website sounds
completely New Age to me. There is no invitation to receive Christ as one's
personal Savior, no teaching of the Doctrine of Christ, no call to
repentance, et cetera. Anyone who claims to be helping people in the
spiritual realm is treading on holy ground. We need to expose these
imposters!
On their website, Bill Gaultiere and his wife
Kristi claim to
help people...
“connect
deeply with Christ in ways that facilitate soul transformation.”
“In ways that facilitate soul transformation”?
Huh? How many different ways are there to “connect” to Christ? These people
scare me. Many of the writings on their website are written in 3rd person,
as dead chants commonly recited in the Catholic Church. This is NOT Biblical
Christianity.
Since they claim to be mentoring people
spiritually, caring for the souls of others; and they are receiving hundreds
of web visitors per day; we must try the spirits to see if they are of God
as 1st John 4:1 commands.
In the following article on their website,
titled, God's Word to Me, they teach people to doing a
breathing exercise while chanting this prayer...
Let me prayer
poem based on Psalm 19 help you to breathe in and out the name that is
above all names…
God’s Word to Me
Jesus… You are God’s Son shining in the
heavens
Jesus… I smile in your light
~
Jesus… You are my Bridegroom coming for
me
Jesus… I hold you in my heart
~
Jesus… You are my Champion rejoicing to
run your course
Ladies and gentleman, that is 100% pure demonic
CATHOLICISM!!!
Instead of teaching people to get alone with
God and pray from the heart, they provide recited prayers as the Catholics
do, chanting dead repetitious words they Jesus condemned in Matthew 6:7,
“But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they
think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.”
These are the psychotherapists that Pat
Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) are referring
troubled ministers and Christian leaders to for spiritually help and
guidance!!! The truth is that Christian leaders who are weak enough to fall
for this are being mentored into the Catholic Church, New Age philosophies;
and are being inoculated from THE TRUTH of God's Word. Our beloved Savior
told us in John 5:39 to SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES!
Just like Contemporary Music music {CCM)
singers and groups, these imposters don't tell anyone how to be saved! The Gospel
should be in plain view for everyone to see; but it's not. Hell is a real
place, with real fire, where real people die a second death and are
tormented in real pain for all eternity. Why prey tell me don't all these
professed CCM singers, ecumenical ministers, so-called Christian
psychologists, and all the rest of them, PREACH THE GOSPEL. The Gospel is so
simple; but the Devil has gone to extreme lengths to BLIND THE MINDS
OF THEM WHICH BELIEVE NOT (2nd Corinthians 4:4), to hinder them from
finding THE TRUTH of the Gospel and being saved.
Religious Humanism Has Replaced Christianity
In Many Churches Today
Any attempt to spiritually improve man's nature
without the new birth in Christ Jesus is religious humanism. The following
is an excellent description of what RELIGIOUS HUMANISM is. Please understand
that these words are written by an unsaved Unitarian Universalist, go
figure! Murry is an admitted humanist as well. Here is exactly what
religious humanism is and you'll likely recognize it right away, as it is
being taught everywhere these days instead of Christianity...
Religious
humanism is a life stance that exults in being alive in this
unimaginably vast and breathtakingly beautiful universe and that
finds joy and satisfaction in contributing to human betterment.
Without a creed but with an emphasis on reason, compassion,
community, nature, and social responsibility, it is a way of living
that answers the religious and spiritual needs of people today.
A new
humanism is emerging among Unitarian Universalists, a religious
humanism informed by cultural developments and recent discoveries in
the natural and human sciences and grounded in the larger context of
religious naturalism, a religious humanism that offers depth,
meaning, and purpose without sacrificing intellectual honesty or the
spiritual dimension.
Any attempt to better or improve humanity by
bypassing the Gospel is humanism. If it's a spiritual concept, then it's
religious humanism. Biblical Christianity means a new birth by obeying the
Gospel. We obey the good news (the Gospel) by believing on Jesus as the
Christ, the Son of God Who died, was buried and rose from the dead three
days later. That's it. Acts 16:30-31 says the way to be saved is to BELIEVE
ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!!! It's that simple. But don't ADD anything or else
it's false plan of salvation like Roman Catholicism (they add keeping the
seven sacraments).
Beware of any spiritual teachings that leave
out the Word of God. If someone is teaching about spiritual matters and
never mention the Bible, run away. Colossians 2:8 says to beware (be on
guard, look) against worldly philosophies and manmade traditions that spoil
(sinfully lead men astray) from Jesus Christ!
What this Faithless Generation Needs
is Biblical Preaching!
Titus 1:3 teaches that God “hath in due
times manifested his Word
THROUGH PREACHING, which is committed unto me according to the
commandment of God our Saviour.” God deliver us from psychologists! I am
not criticizing nor condemning Mr. Gaultiere, I am simply saying that
people's problems are because of sin. You give God your heart, and He'll
comb the kinks out of your head.
The Bible warned us that false teachers would
creep into our churches UNAWARES (Jude 1:4). Satan is doing this by
convincing churches that they need Christian leaders who have degrees in
secular psychology. No you don't! All across America, churches are calling
pastors to their pulpits who have degrees in modern heathen psychology. This
is evil. No wonder today's churches are in such a mess.
Modern psychology is
of the Devil, ignoring the reality of sin (a term they don't even
recognize).
The answer is not reformation, rehabilitation,
education, nor legislation; but regeneration. Ye must be born-again (John
3:7)!
“Old-fashioned, Spirit-filled,
Christ-honoring, sin-hating, soul-winning, Bible preaching! It is the
hope of the church! It is the hope of the nation! It is the hope of the
world!”
—Pastor
Jack Hyles
(1926-2001)
Sin
is the true problem in society today. What is sin? Sin is the
violation of God's Laws. 1st John 3:4... "Whosoever committeth sin
transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." How does modern psychology deal with an alcoholic? How do they deal
with a rebellious wife who is emotionally distraught? How does modern
psychology deal with a homosexual? Drunkenness, rebellion, and
homosexuality are all condemned as SIN in the Bible (1st Corinthians 6:10;
1st Samuel 15:23; Romans 1:24-32).
