This figure is less than church embezzlement.

The January 2011 issue of the

International Bulletin of

Missionary Research reported that Christian religious leaders will commit an estimated $34 billion in financial fraud in 2011.

Note: Statutory Fraud is a crime primarily known as embezzlement.

False teaching in the major religions is not a crime, but from a biblical perspective it is still fraud (spiritually defrauding your brother) and accounts for incalculable billions of dollars.

Psychotherapy vs. Bible:

FEAR OF THE LORD

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Psychotherapy counsels no fear of the Lord at any time in any of its therapies, let alone at the beginning.

BIBLE:

“The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever.” Psalm 111:10

“The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Proverbs 1:7

“The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy [is] understanding.” Proverbs 9:10

Psychotherapy vs. Bible:

FOUNDING FATHERS

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Most founding fathers of depthpsychotherapy and psychology, including Freud, Jung, Rodgers,

Maslow, and James, were atheists or humanists and/or based their teachings on evolution and of course,

Charles Darwin.

BIBLE:

“The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good.” Psalm 14:1

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Attempts to bear fruit by abiding in the teaching of such founders as Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud who opposed

Christianity!

BIBLE:

“I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast [them] into the fire, and they are burned.” John 15:5-6

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law” Galatians 5:22-23

Psychotherapy vs. Bible:

NATURE OF MAN

PSYCHOTHERAPY:

Man's nature is comprised of body and soul or body, soul and personality.

BIBLE:

Man is made up of body, soul, and spirit:

“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

1 Thessalonians 5:23

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Man by nature is basically good.

BIBLE:

“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:”

Romans 3:10

“And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one,…”

Matthew 19:17

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Man's nature is rooted in evolution.

BIBLE:

There is no such thing as molecules-to

-man evolution.

“And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”

Genesis 2:7

Psychotherapy vs. Bible:

THE OLD MAN

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Offers an improved or even damaged version of the old man…

Tries to fix the old man.

BIBLE:

“And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:”

Colossians 3:10

“Therefore if any man [be] in Christ,

[he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17

Psychotherapy vs. Bible:

THE HOLY SPIRIT

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Psychology doesn't even believe in the

Holy Spirit.

BIBLE:

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into ALL truth…” John 16:13

“For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

Psychotherapy vs. Bible:

ETERNITY

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Offers no hope for Eternity.

BIBLE:

Teaches us about our eternal destiny…

“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”

John 3:36

Psychotherapy vs. Bible:

HEAVEN

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Offers no concept of Heaven where one can lay up your treasures.

BIBLE:

“But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:”

Matthew 6:20

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Doesn't seek first the Kingdom of God, in fact, it never seeks the Kingdom of God.

BIBLE:

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

Matthew 6:33

Psychotherapy vs. Bible:

SOURCE OF HELP

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Tells us our help comes from one or more of unproven and contradictory theories and tens of thousands of psychotherapists whose ideas were drawn from paganism, divination, astrology, humanism, psychometrics, numerology, principles of this world and evolution.

BIBLE:

“My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.”

Psalm 121:2

“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after

Christ.” Colossians 2:8

Psychotherapy vs. Bible:

TECHNIQUES

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Charges money for counseling and you still haven't received true living water…making merchandise of men’s souls. Psychotherapists are experts in greed by charging money for counseling the soul.

BIBLE:

“He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:32

“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of

God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.”

1 Corinthians 2:12

“And he said unto me, It is done. I am

Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.” Revelation 21:6

“And the Spirit and the bride say,

Come. And let him that heareth say,

Come. And let him that is athirst come.

And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” Revelation 22:17

“Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray , following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

2 Peter 2:14-15

“But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.” Acts 8:20

“Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.” 1 Timothy 6:5

“Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. “ Titus 1:11

“Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

¶ These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;” Jude 1:11-12

"The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes any more…and bodies and souls of men.”

Revelation 18:11-13

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Teaches us how to balance our strengths and weaknesses with personality profiles derived from paganism and divination.

BIBLE:

“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”

2 Corinthians 12:9

“There shall not be found among you [any one] that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, [or] that useth divination, [or] an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits , or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things [are] an abomination unto the

LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.”

Deuteronomy 18:10-12

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Teaches that being lovers of selves is the solution to the troubles of the soul.

BIBLE:

Prophesying the religion of psychotherapy in the Last Days…

“ For men shall be lovers of their own selves , covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;” 2 Timothy 3:2-4

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Celebrates self.

BIBLE:

“And he said to [them] all, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” Luke 9:23

“For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.” Romans 8:13

“Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:”

Colossians 3:5

PSYCHOTHERAPY is based on power of myths, fables, principles of this world's philosophies and theories based on power of myths and fables.

BIBLE:

“Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: [so do].”

1 Timothy 1:4

“But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself [rather] unto godliness”

1 Timothy 4:7

“And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”

2 Timothy 4:4

Blame their ancestors for their problems.

BIBLE:

“Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: [so do].”

Matthew 4:17

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Uses guided imagery, hypnotism, dream therapy, and mysticism to find your true self or higher self.

BIBLE:

“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”

2 Corinthians 10:5

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Attempts to track down the archetype buried in your unconscious in man.

BIBLE:

PSYCHOTHERAPY

“TRANCE” FORMS YOU

"The fundamental difference between

PSYCHOTHERAPY and

PARAPSYCHOLOGY is that the

State of gives you a license to steal...but both are SORCERY!”

BIBLE:

CHRIST TRANSFORMS YOU.

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Seek counsel from the ungodly.

BIBLE:

Why seek ye the counsel among the ungodly?

“Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.”

Psalm 1:1

Psychotherapy vs. Bible:

BLESSINGS

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Psychology doesn't even comprehend blessing, so it can not offer anyone a blessing because it omits the person required to administer these blessings, that is Jesus Christ.

BIBLE:

Tells us how to be blessed in the

Beatitudes:

See Matthew Chapter 5:2-11

Psychotherapy vs. Bible:

SANCTIFICATION

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Can't offer salvation OR sanctification, and is unable to and does not even pretend to offer the Great Commission in order that others might be redeemed and sanctified.

BIBLE:

Teaches that there are primarily three things that are required of every Christian:

(1) Salvation,

(2) Sanctification, and

(3) Carry out the Great Commission so that others may repent.

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”

Mark 16:15

"God . . . commandeth all men everywhere to repent.” Acts 17:30

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Talk to therapist to get in the right mood.

BIBLE:

Get sanctified by the Word of God, obey His Word, and allow the Holy

Spirit and the Vine (Jesus Christ) to produce the fruit of the spirit which is the right mood…

“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17

“That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,” Ephesians 5:26

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Calls its counseling "science."

BIBLE :

1 Timothy 6:20-21

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Everyone is a victim or has syndrome.

Everyone is a sinner…

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23

“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” Romans 5:12

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Christian psychologists integrate

Bible with hundreds of psychology theories.

BIBLE:

You can not serve two masters; Choose today whom you will follow -- the

Mighty Counselor

“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve

God and mammon.”

Matthew 6:24

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth , give I unto you.

Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27

CHRISTIAN PSYCHOTHERAPY

Scripture is INSUFFICIENT in dealing with man’s problems regarding the soul.

BIBLE:

“All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”

2 Timothy 3:16-17

Psychotherapy vs. Bible:

ATONEMENT

PSYCHOTHERAPY

There is NO blood or atonement.

There is NO other way to draw near to

Christ except by His Blood.

NONE of the 12 steps in Alcoholics

Anonymous, or ANY anonymous program, or Celebrate Recovery, contain the Blood of Jesus!

BIBLE:

“And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.”

That the man of God may be perfect , throughly furnished unto all good works.”

2 Timothy 3:16-17

“Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:”

Colossians 1:28

Psychotherapy vs. Bible:

WRATH OF GOD

PSYCHOTHERAPY

The Wrath of God is non-existent.

BIBLE:

“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”

John 3:36

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;”

2:3

“Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.”

OWNERSHIP OF BODY

AND SOUL

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Every man has title deed to and owns his own body and soul.

1 Corinthians 6:20

“Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.”

1 Corinthians 7:23

Psychotherapy vs. Bible:

SPIRITUAL WARFARE

PSYCHOTHERAPY

There is no such thing as a spiritual war and no such thing as the full armor of God…

NO Satan…

NO demons (fallen angels)

NO deliverance

BIBLE:

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].”

Ephesians 6:12

“Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God , that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth , and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;”

Ephesians 6:13-15

“Above all, taking the shield of faith , wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

And take the helmet of salvation , and the sword of the Spirit , which is the word of God:” Ephesians 6:16-17
