Psychology: The Doctrine of Demons
By Michael Houke.

Modern psychology is less than 100 years old. I t happens to be one of the fastest growing professions in America. In 1960 14% of Americans received psychological services by 2000 it was estimated that 80% of Americans received the same. According to Ralf Nader an alarmingly large amount of mental health professionals take the stance that all who come to see them need therapy, which stretches out over a long period of time and cost thousands of dollars for each patient. No wonder it is one of the fastest growing professions in America, there is much money to made here.

Dr. Tana Dineen, (a former psychologist who left her profession) claimed that psychology was a false profession and had a false basis for authority, in her book “Manufacturing Victims”. One report “The Barden Report” claims that psychology is nothing more than consumer fraud.

Here are some false assumptions about Psychotherapy/Psychology that have no biblical or scientific basis:

1. The id, ego, and superego are actual parts of the human psyche
2. Dreams are keys to understanding the unconscious and thus the person
3. Present behavior is determined by unleashed conflicts from childhood
4. Parents are to blame for most people’s problems
5. The first five years of life determine what a person will be like when they grow up
6. People need to attribute worth to themselves
7. People need positive self regard
8. Most problems are because of low self esteem
9. God’s purpose is to meet people’s felt needs
10. People need high self esteem, they need to feel good about themselves
11. Christians need to be trained in Psychology to really help people
12. People need training in biblical counseling, knowing the Bible is not enough
13. The best counselor uses both psychology and the Bible
14. AA (alcoholics anonymous) was started by Christians and is based on Christian principals
15. Psychologists are better than amateurs, in dealing with mental emotional problems
16. People must pay money to obtain the best help for their emotional problems
17. Paying for a professional counselor helps to motivate people to improve.

Repeating, all of the above are false!!

Research Psychiatrist E. Fuller Torrey states in his book “The Mind Game” that the techniques used by western psychiatrists are, with few exceptions, exactly the same scientific plane as techniques used by witchdoctors!

Dr. Adolf Grunbaum, a distinguished professor of philosophy and research in his book “The Foundations of Psychoanalysis” states that the idea that psychotherapists know a lot about human behavior is a myth. To be honest he said they know very little and have proven even less.

Robert Rosenthal a Psychologist even said, for all of our efforts, there is no compelling evidence to convince us that we do understand human behavior very well.

Some Psychologist argue that their profession is an exact science, but this is not so and is flawed thinking. When a person has medical issues they seek a medical doctor. When the patient is healed there is evidence in the form of x-rays, etc. and other test that reveal a genuine healing with documentation to back it up, in many cases it is visible for all to see that the patient has been healed.

Psychology on the other hand has no such evidence or documentation to show that there has been a genuine mental healing of any kind. So how do they know their patient has been healed? They simply state that they know this when their patient tells them they are healed or the patient stops visiting them. And this is called an exact science!

Psychotherapy is one of the most subtle means of undermining faith in today’s church. It is a major diversion from sound biblical doctrine. It also is one of the fastest growing heresies in the church today! Christian Psychologist attempt to integrate psychology and Christianity together, getting what they call the best of both worlds but is it? Their faith rest on the roots and the teachings of the founding fathers of Psychology, namely Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. Let’s see what we get when we look into what these two men believed and taught.

Sigmund Freud is considered the father of the psychotherapy movement. Freud was not only anti-Christian but indulged in the Occult for most of his adult life. Freud taught a mixture of sexual, homicidal, and incestial concepts about the early life’s of boys and girls. He actually taught that every boy desires to kill his father and have sexual intercourse with his mother and that every girl desires to kill her mother and have sexual intercourse with her father. He stated that this desire usually occurs between the ages of 3 and 6 years of age. According to Freud the girl is upset because she does not have a penis like boys do and she blames her mother for this. She thus desires her father because he has the protruding sex organ which she wants to share with him in sexual intercourse. You can call this whatever you want, I call it shear madness!! This issue gets much worse by description and I do not feel it is appropriate to elaborate further or otherwise I would be introducing pure pornography to you the reader, which I will refrain from.

Freud actually called this a system of genital superiority for men and genital inferiority for women! This theory could have only originated from the mind of a male chauvinist. When unveiling Freud’s theories they expose nothing more than lust, incest, castration anxiety, and what he called Penis Envy for women. Is this repulsive and twisted enough for you? Could you possibly want to hear more in order to come to a conclusion about what this man taught and if it is in any way biblical and that it is in any way acceptable to be taught in our churches today? Freud had a bone to pick with Christianity and invented this repulsive nonsense to attack it. Still want to see a professional Christian therapist?

Carl Jung rejected Christianity and blamed theology for alienating his father and himself, he completely distrusted Christ. Jung then began to adhere to ancient myths, and the Occult. Jung was a believer in evolution, practiced necromancy, delved deeply into the occult, and had daily contact with disembodied spirits, which he called “Archetypes”. He even claimed his whole house was crammed with spirits. He also believed that he possessed demonic strength and had a demon in him (which he probably did). Jung was also a supporter of heresies such as Gnosticism and Alchemy.

Jung taught that God was in every person, he was clearly a neo-pagan searching for God within and through ancient myths. Is it any wonder that New-Agers have a deep interest in him? Jung also had a role in the development of AA (alcoholics anonymous) which is also anti-Christian to the core.

Well, there you have it and this is just two of the men who helped found this false profession. All of the men involved had their own theories and when you combine them all together you get the profession of Psychotherapy. Which based on all of the above information is clearly a flawed profession if not outright demonic in nature.
Paul warns believers not to be robbed of what they have in Christ through “philosophy and vain deceit” that turns them into victims. Psychological counseling theories are not science. They more aptly fall into Paul’s category of “philosophy and vain deceit.” Indeed, they resemble religion more than science. Dr. Thomas Szasz states the case very clearly in his book “The Myth of Psychotherapy”.

Psychological counseling theories are collections of human opinions arranged in theoretical frameworks. They are human inventions based on the perception and personal experiences of the theorists themselves. They are “profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: which some professing have erred concerning the faith”(1 Tim. 6:20-21).

Even when Paul was beaten and left for dead, he did not see himself as a victim, but as a recipient of the very life of Christ by grace through faith. Therefore he declared: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20). Rather than victims forever seeking to be healed of emotional wounds, Christians are new creations in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17), fully equipped for challenges, trials, disappointments, dangers, and all sorts of calamities. Christ has won the victory and “ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.”

Victimization shifts the attention away from one’s own responsibility for what is thought, said, and done. Victimization shifts attention away from one’s own sin and onto the sins of others committed against them. Victimization diverts believers away from the cross of Christ. Victimization robs them of gratitude for God’s unspeakable gift and thereby robs them of a close walk with Him. Turning Christians into victims weakens their faith and stunts spiritual growth. Every choice to walk according to the Spirit by grace through faith brings spiritual maturity. The choice is up to every believer, whether to be a psychologically defined and created victim or to be a biblically defined sinner saved by grace and growing into the likeness of Christ.

As you can see there is nothing Christian about psychology and when mixed with Christianity you get a diluted form of Christianity. There are no such things as mental disorders. That is a creation of Freud and Jung. God does use dentist and doctors but he doesn’t need Psychologist. And “Christian Psychologist” is an oxymoron. This is just another false teaching of human secularism.

Should take a seven year old (who may be demon possessed) to a Psychologist, what could they possibly offer? Comfort? Since when are human Psychologist the answer to demon possession? There are pastors all over the globe who can offer sound biblical help to any child or adult who is demon possessed. As for as the mentally retarded they can offer no more help in this area either. Prayer will do a lot more than any Psychologist can offer. And if what they offer is prayer then they do not need the teachings of Freud and Jung for they did not believe in God.

The Truth About Masturbation!

by TKMission on March 7, 2011 at 10:40 am
Posted In: Teachings

Masturbation is sex! It is the very same thing as sex. Only the hand or other forms become the partner! If you get this right and know the truth about it, it will either change your mind about it (what repentance is all about) or you will go on with the guilt trip, excusing it as sex but still enjoying it (but only with guilt showing it is not right).

John wrote in his first letter, “if our hearts condemns us not, we have boldness…” If your heart condemns you, remember God is greater than your heart and He has probably condemn it already while your heart only follow it.

Now in order to understand this, we need first to take it way out of its proportion and then we need to bring simplicity to it. A little bit of error or miscalculation cannot be detected in many ways but once you enlarge it and extent it to greater lengths you begin to see the departing line. I have made some cupboards in my time. To have square corners is vital to assemble a cupboard that will fit and function well. The smaller the piece of wood (smaller sins or errors) the harder it becomes to detect its square corners, but once you begin to extent the corner the more you see the crookedness of the piece. The line are almost undetected when it is small, but once you extent that line you begin to see the longer or more it is taken out of its proportion the more you begin to see the departing and error and the easier it becomes to notice the problem. A millimetre becomes meters once the line is extended and the error becomes more evident.

In many things it is also like that in the spiritual. It is sometimes difficult to detect or see the error and nature of the error if it is left in its current state (some see nothing wrong with masturbation). But once you begin to magnify its lines you begin to see the true nature of many things.

When you start looking at the true nature of masturbation and take it more under the magnifying glass, we can begin to discern the true nature of masturbation. The truth is masturbation is sex!

Well, you can according to Scriptures be in about 5 sexual relationships, of which only one is lawful and allowed. 

  1. Fornication
  2. Adultery
  3. Marriage
  4. Homosexuality
  5. Bestiality (Zoophilia)

 

Fornication is to have sex outside of marriage with someone who is not married. It is outside any marriage bonds either of yourself or someone else. It can be with one or many others.

Adultery is to have sex while married with someone else that may be married or unmarried, or while single with someone who is married. It can be with one or many others.

Marriage is to have sex with someone (only one) with whom you are in a covenant relationship in before God. It can only be with one.

Homosexuality is sex with the same sex. It is an abomination in the sight of God.

Bestiality is sex or sexual involvement with animals (different kinds of animals). Any sexual act with an animal ranging from body contact to oral-genital contact, to penetration. It is an abomination in the sight of God. (Ex 22:19; Lev 18:23; Lev 20:15; Deut 27:21, etc).  It is much more common than many think!

Now Jesus said something quite staggering:

 “whosoever look upon a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery (or fornication) with her in his heart!” Matt 5:48

Please notice here that there was no actual deed or act of the physical part involved. It was merely a look! Well let me tell you (I think you will agree) that masturbation is much more than a look!

Jesus stated the essence or reality of these sins.

If you hates someone it is before God the same as murder,

if you look with lust it is the same as if you would actually slept with that person!

Can you see the implication here? And masturbation is much more advanced than a look! It has become a deed! Do many really think that if Jesus judge a look to lust as adultery He will oversee something so much more intense as a look as innocent? If you look with lust it is in the eyes of God the same as if you did the deed! Why? Because the true nature of sin is not in the deed merely but in the heart! Jesus said “out of the heart proceed… adultery, uncleanness, etc!” it is a heart issue.

Okay follow me here. Masturbation is sex. Sex can be with or falls into one of 5 categories as we have seen. Now if you understand this closely then you know that whenever you masturbate you are having sex! That’s the fact! Jesus said whosoever look to lust was as if he was having sex, although no physical part was involved, it was merely a look, mental only, it was counted physical before God, so is masturbation.

{Let me just say this here: It is evident from Jesus words in Mark chapter 7 that adultery, fornication, etc comes from “within” and has its source in the heart. We must therefore conclude that masturbation is in most cases the direct/indirect result of the “look of lust” that Jesus spoke of in Matthew chapter 5. This means that we must touch the source of this, the eye, the heart, the way these things are arousing us.}

So when you masturbate, you are having sex, but the question is with who? It can be only be in the context of one of these 5 categories. What goes on in your mind and heart or imagination determine the answer with whom you are having sex! What do you think of and with what thoughts are you involved when having masturbation sex? This is critical. If you could masturbate without having any lustful thoughts or with an imagination that are running wild, then it would be no offense to masturbate. But here is the problem, just like to look with lust involves an object, so masturbation involves an object that prompts or drive it (gives it fuel). It can be just woman in general or men in general – well that falls in the category of fornication, so whenever you masturbate you are having sex and are busy with fornication or adultery or even sodomy! We refer to someone who never had the act of physical sex as still a virgin and that may be in the human view so, but before God it is not so, before God we are no longer a unchaste virgin, but defiled by uncleanness. To unleash a build up of semen in the body is one thing – that is natural like a vomit to the body and not sin. But this is not so with masturbation. Even for a married man or woman who are masturbating or having the actual deed can be adultery and can be involved in fornication while married! The “bed is defiled!” It happens more than many think!

But, masturbation is not merely sex, it is also the substitute for sexual relations. You substitute the object with something else but still go through the act of sex.

It is good when we start looking at the reality of this. If this does not gives you a shock (except if you knew this) then there is something seriously wrong with your conscience! This has helped me to start looking at masturbation in a new light. It has changed my mind to the severity of what I was getting myself involved in and it started to upset me so that I could no longer participate with something so grievous as fornication and adultery! You are living in fornication and even adultery especially when you are single every time you masturbate! That means if it is habitually then you live habitually in adultery and fornication! This is serious! Habitual sin is a serious thing, it hardens the heart and make the conscience insensitive to God’s voice and dealings. So God does not want any to perish. That’s why He brings to our hearts the knowledge of Truth so to come to know the truth so that we can be set free (John 8:32)!

This is one aspect of masturbation that you need to face in its true light. Would masturbating as a married man be wrong and sinful? Yes and no! Yes if he is having sex outside marriage (masturbating with other woman or feelings and imaginations in his mind and heart) and no if he is separated from her for long periods of time and are having sex (masturbate) with her and her only (this may cause problems for many)!

This may help those who seek the Truth and have an ear to hear! God Bless
