Christian Psychology

[NyaS92]

@LeviProductions1 I'm not trying to be funny or sarcastic so don't take my question as rude I'm just trying to get my facts straight but aren't the torah and bible different?? I mean there are many similarities but it does differ. Also if you read the torah how can you say it's biblical? It's not the bible and the bible and torah teach differently right?

Before Dualism, Monism, before humanistic psychology, even before psychology, there was God. John 1:1 In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word WAS GOD.

@LeviProductions1

Are you saying that material existence is an illusion? Or are you saying that material existence, while real, is contingent on God?

[Coltrabagar]

Biblical dualism affirms that God alone is self existent and that the One God created the cosmos. God can exist without matter. Matter cannot exist without God.

- Monism affirms that all is one with no distinction between God and matter. God = the cosmos and the cosmos = God. This is common in eastern mysticism.

- Materialism affirms that matter is all that exists; no immaterial things, such as spirit, exist. The Cosmos exists. God does not.

Monism and Materialism contradict the Bible.

@LeviProductions1 I dont think that dualism says that material exisence is independent of divine essence. They are only saying that there is a mind and there is a soul... i think. They didnt say that we exist apart from the unity of God. I dont know anything about dualism other than what i just heard on this video, but there doesnt seem to be any attack on the oneness of God.

"man is more than matter? for example what? supernatural slave of god? yeah! god loves slaves! he loves tyranny! doesn't he?"

You do realize that trying to paint a particular picture of God's character doesn't actually tell us anything about whether or not he actually exists, or whether humans are indeed any more than matter? Your characterization of God could be incorrect but, most of all, it doesn't constitute any argument of any kind regarding the issue of dualism!

[insanewarlock666]

@Birdieupon oh really? did you notice that? do you want some real proof that bible is full of absurd and impermissible errors?

Jeremiah 32:27I am the LORD, the God of all mankind.

Is anything too hard for me?

Isaiah46:10From the beginning I revealed the end. From long ago I told you things that had not yet happened, saying,

John 12:40God blinded them [Jews] and made them close-minded so

that their eyes don't see and their minds don't

understand. And they never turn to me for healing!

VS...

@Birdieupon 1 John 1:9God is just

Just? even before God created Adam and Eve he knew what would happen with them he already knew that one of their descendant (me) is doomed to reject him and go to hell/gehenna but anyway he did everything the way it is now

Isaiah 45:7I make peace and I create evil

how can God be just? it's like saying that circle can have square shape, cube can be one dimensional or iron can be golden. do you worship unjust being? or does your god even love you?

Yeah go talk to an Atheist psychologist because unlike most rational and positive people Atheists hold the unusual belief that the world originated in a vacuum means nothing and is going nowhere..a belief they can't prove so it is based on "faith" also! That's exactly who ya want to talk to when you have a problem, ice it wgordon n pick up a book by CS Lewis while you're at it you may learn something to help your soul

[wgordon8]

Christian Psychology a contradiction in terms.

[Leiflton]

yes, they do not account for all variables, ie sin etc.

and therefore, since they do not acknowledge the actual problem, they will never be able to find the solution.
