Diolectic -> RE: Mental Health Issues - One Stop Thread (4/10/2006 3:36:16 PM)

Since the thread I was posting was moved to this one, I will put my Last response from that to this. quote:
ORIGINAL: called2valor have you ever known a person that once they became an alcoholic was ever able to drink again normally? Yes I do know a man who was a drunkerd(alcoholic) but he got saved and now we like to have a nice glass of wine now and then. He is not the exception but the rule. Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. quote:
your umbrage at it being called a disease by some doesn't negate how it is successfully treated Never able to drink again otherwise falling back into it and always forever being called an alcoholic or a "recovering alcoholic", How is that being called successfully treated? I agree, it is an adiction but we all have a choice to be free, but never call it a disease. We are not accountable for diseases but we are for adictions. Sex addiction is not an addiction because sex is not a need nor can ever be a phisical need. It is a lust accept for under the bond of merriage. Self easteem? Self esteem is a very subtle one. The peoplpe who think that they have low self esteem are the ones who have to high of esteem for them selves than that of reality. they can not live up to the person who they want to be. If thay would just accept themselvs as God created them. they would be humble and walk in humiliy. self-hatred? In fact, it is imposible to hate your self. If you did, you would love when bad things happen to you, but then you would'nt do those bad things to yourself because you love it when it happens. Then you would hate that because nothing bad is happening to your self. It is just imposible to hate your self Self-hatred could lead to self-harm, but this is demonic. Remember Legion, the demoniac? Mark 5:5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. If the person who is into self-harm isn't possesd, he is surely demonicly oppressed. Loveing ones self first berfore being able to love others? This impleis that one does not love ones self. The truth of the matter is that they do love themselves and God knows that they already do. Mark 12:31 The second most important commandment is this: 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' There is no other commandment more important than these two. looking into your past? Why does any one need to look into our passe for any kind of recovery? When we repent of our sin, His blood covers it all! The only thing that matters is the now, will we submitt to Jesus and His Word? quote:
you are physically sick you go to an MD, if you have a mental or emotional illness, there are Psychiatric and Psychological professionals No, we get on our knees and pray You can not say that praying will not work, can you? We may go to a mature christian for question to make some things clear. quote:
ORIGINAL: Diolectic Damaged emotions? quote:
ORIGINAL: called2valor ever hear of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder? Ever hear of 2Tim 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. This sound mind that we should have is a disiplined and self controled mind which we are able to have. How is Psychology not anti-christ? Anti = other than Anti-christ = other [than Christ people just looking for way to escape a bondagefrom sin without Christ alone.[that's quote:
baloney! That is YOUR assumption. I can also see that you have no real knowledge of these issues That's baloney, I do have real knowledge of these issues. It would be foolish to try to refute these subjuects with out knowledge of them. And proove that it isn't looking for an answer to the ills of week faithed, imature christians with out total reliance on Christ and Him alone. quote:
and your reaction is an EMOTIONAL one rather than a compassionate or scriptural one. So, what is wrong with an EMOTIONAL responce? Jesus was emotional when He cleaned the Temple calling it a House of Prayer. My reaction is very compassionate because I want people to see through these lies that are so subtle. I want people Heal, forgiven, free, and Mature, and strong so they can get there eyes off themselves and go help the unsave from thing that they shouldn't be bound to. Show me where I am off Scripturaly and I will relent. I will be persuaded if I am prooven wrong from Scripture. You have not shown one scripture to hold your end of this discution. quote:
ORIGINAL: Diolectic: People have been taught that prayer doesn't work because of this quote:
ORIGINAL: called2valor [I have never seen that. This is a human world and if someone teaches something that is false, you cannot impune an entire discipline or all Theology would be thrown out because of one false doctrine being taught] I am not saying that good christian councile is bad, but mixed with psychology it brings in bad doctrines and bad theology and the like. Have you listened to the psychology my brother has been getting from Exodus international. If it is suposed to help one to become free, why hasn't it for the past 10 years? My brother should be a mature christian now after 10 years, but with all the bad psychology he is getting, it is keeping him retarded in his growth with Christ. EXODUS International ministries(Christian Ministery useing "Christian psychology") deal with homosexuality with inner healing and alot more unChristian beliefs. I could bring other "christian psychology' ministeries up, but I won't. quote:
ORIGINAL: Diolectic It is a disservice to other believers not to have them relye on Christ and HIM alone. quote: quote:
ORIGINAL: called2valor [Have you ever been to a doctor? Don't go, or it is a sin, because Christ heals us! - Get the picture?] Don't be rediculous, a doctor deals with physical injuries and physical healing, psychology deals with the soul, Hence the word psychology from the greek Psookay, the Soul, Logia, from the greek logos, the word Greek: psyche = soul and logos = word: the study of the soul. We can not know anything of the soul apart from the Word of God and through prayer. quote:
ORIGINAL: Diolectic If it makes some ashamed to get help, then all they have to relye on is Jesus, poor guy. quote:
ORIGINAL: called2valor [I can see the love of Christ ooozing out of that statement] Why wouldn't you see haveing someone to totaly relye on is Jesus, a loving thing to do? I used sarcasm to show the foolishness of saying that it is a disservice to other believers to warn them of the dangers of psychology and that it is worldly. quote:
ORIGINAL: Diolectic A discerning Christian may know to avoid in such matters, but it is the undiscerning that are going to the quacksquote: quote:
ORIGINAL: called2valor [then don't go to a quack - go to a reputable person that is sensative to Christian ethics and beliefs] Your answer don't make sence. I say it is the undiscerning that are going to the quacks, and you say to me, "then don't go to a quack" Why not warn of the Quacky teachings to the undiscerning instead of advocating them? It is like trying to teach sound doctrine to the undiscerning while others say it is okay to go to the false teacher of Chrisianity.
