Scripture makes it abundantly clear that "sound counsel" comes from the Word, and that believers are to avoid the counsel of the ungodly (Psalm 1). That means, we are to avoid the counsel that comes from the ungodly foundations as well (psychology/psychiatry have their foundations squarely placed on the philosophies of humanism).

Humanistic radicals will do anything to oppose God's Word, and set up their own authority system - man!


Here we have a perfect example of completely missing the point. I have been reiterating that people should seek counsel from Christian-based therapists and psychiatric professionals (including qualified pastoral counsel). I'm well aware that some psychiatric professionals use methods that do more harm than good. But the same can be said of counseling with people who just pat you on the head and tell you to go pray about it. Tell them it's all in their head and try to cast out the demons...then the next thing you know...tragedy.
All psychology?

Trite over broad generalizations like this seem to flow from uneducated people. You haven't studied all psychology. So do you do this by extrapolation????

I take it you haven't been to med school but "know all about Psychiatry"

So if Psychology and psychiatry have their foundations squarely based in the philosophies of humanism, why do you recommend people visit them?
