Follow Christ not Worldly Psychology
Once again, psychology gets it wrong when it proclaims that "hurt people hurt people." It is irrational and devilish to use this as an excuse.
I know many people who were deeply hurt by others who treat others better because they hate hurting people.
Hurting others is a choice. Anyone who harms others because they were hurt is exacting revenge on those who never harmed them. It is irrational to harm those who never harmed us. Even revenge against those who hurt us is against God.
Luke 6:27-28 "27 But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you."
Psychology says we are to forgive those who are not repentant for our own sake, but we don't have to remain friends. This too is foolishness. We are to forgive when someone confesses in order to restore a relationship.
Luke 17:3-5 "…3 Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.” 5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”…"
Psychology says, "believe in yourself, trust in yourself", when God says to trust in Him alone.
Proverbs 3:5-6 "5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.…"
Psychology says people are basically good, which is total nonsense. If this were true, there would be no crime in the world.
God says, Jeremiah 17:9 " 9The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?"
Psychology says it is child abuse to use physical discipline to train a child. But God said; Proverbs 13:24 "24 He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently."
Many things we were taught over the years about life came from Freudian psychology directly contrary to the Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Freud sought to discount and disprove God; in so doing, he created a belief system opposite of the principles of God. It caused many people to do the easy thing instead of the right thing. It caused people to place their trust in feelings and reactions instead of good scriptural sense.
Isn't it time to re-evaluate everything secular religion taught us and begin praying for wisdom from God to retrain ourselves to think with the mind of Christ?

Traditions of Men are Often Irrational Thinking
Have you ever found yourself questioning everything you were taught because those who taught it were inconsistent and chaotic?
The men of cultural tradition begin to appear foolish. God reveals that their rules and ideas were never given by God; their chaotic, irrational thinking has no Biblical support.
When we compare God's Word with what the culture believes, we find that more things are unreasonable and senseless. We cannot trust our cultural traditions when we become born again.
1 Corinthians 2:13-15 "…13 And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. 14 The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment."
What most people say and do is based on their cultural thinking and not on the principles given to us by God.
John 14:17 "the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you."
Romans 8:7 "because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so."
Jude 1:19 "These are the ones who cause divisions, who are worldly and devoid of the Spirit."
When we place our trust in Christ, we will not be accepted by the world and that means most people.

Institutional Churches
I left the institutional church because I was chasing after God!!!! The system of box churches distracts from walking with God with their unbiblical expectations and traditions that God never gave.
Many superficial believers who love to be told everything to do and be by men will judge those who have left those traditions and expectations to follow hard after Jesus Christ.
The settings and practices of most church systems today keep people from growing when "leadership" sidetracks us from the leading of the Holy Spirit placing men in charge of our lives, usurping the Holy Spirit.
Rather than encouraging people to seek Christ privately and personally, they demand through subtle expectation that we follow them as a group.
Those who are excited about their new freedom in Christ to seek the Holy Spirit are excluded, judged as unspiritual or as walking away from God when just the opposite is true.
I recall in my study of narcissism, one of the tactics of the devil, while using people, often accuses us of what they are doing and we are not. They count themselves as doing the right thing by adhering to the traditions and customs of men in the organized church system while we are somehow defying the church.
The truth is that most "Christians" in the large organized church system is that they are following rituals and practices devised by men, not given by God.
May every born again believer take time to evaluate in prayer whether they are walking with Christ or following man.
