But that's just it, there is nothing in psychology - or any worldly philosophy - that can ever be of benefit to the Church. Wordly philosophies are part of what is meant by the world being one of our enemies.

I agree. We may disagree as to what those are.

A worldly philosophy is any philosophy that is derived not from God's word but, instead, from mere human ideas. Think of it as that which Paul referred to as worldly wisdom.

I agree, which is why I won't subscribe to the wicked, worldly philosophies. I can take the meat the throw away the bones. Everyone does. So do you. You are well versed in church history and other areas which are not found in the Bible. Yet, they have something to teach us and are not contrary to scripture.

All worldly philosophies are wicked simply because they are of the world. History is not a philosophy, it is a mere regurgitation of past events. There is nothing that any worldly philosophy can ever teach the people of God.
