Mental Illness: The product of your childhood + unconfessed, deep rooted SIN.
Modern psychiatry is as anti-Christian, dangerous and satanic as evolution. |
|
After doing some extensive research on “chemical imbalances” (the lack of proof there is such thing, I should say) and the biblical view on mental illnesses I have come to the conclusion that there is absolutely nothing in the “genes” that cause a mental ilness & this has nothing to do with the brain. Those who suffer from mental illness are a experiencing the product of both the way they were raised and their sin nature. After the fall we inherited the sin nature from Adam and Eve (the ability to sin and not to be able to not to). The way a child was trained and childhood experiences have alot to do with the way a person will cope with the stressed of life or the lack of ability to creating a “mental illness”. This is not some chemical defficiency you have. This is an issue of the heart. The sin nature you were born with is running wild when someone claims to have a “mental illness”. It is the wrong perception of who we (at the core we exalt self way too much) are and the poor view of who God (we minimize God) is. Deep inside lies the issue of mental illness, it is not in your head. You must change your heart (allow God to) in order to change the behavior. You can medicate your issues away or change the behavior which is only putting a bandaid on major surgery, eventually it will not work…OR you can face the music. Understand you are NOT a victim but you are the one who has offended a holy God and clinged to your sin for way to long. Repent and turn to Christ and see the healing begin. From the inside out!
Christians should realize that Modern psychiatry is founded upon the “medical/ chemical model” which is opposed to the model revealed in scripture: The Moral/ spiritual Model.
Medical/ chemical Model |
Moral/ spiritual Model (Scriptural) |
| Man is nothing but physical | Man has a physical body controlled by a non-physical soul Eccl 12:7 |
| You are sick, therefore not responsible | You are a sinner and fully responsible. (2 Corinthians 5:10) |
| You have a chemical imbalance in the brain (Assumption: Life is no more than chemistry) | There is sin in your life, chemical imbalance in the brain are a myth. The spirit is making the body sick, not the other way around. (Psalm 38:1-5) |
| You are suffering from a mental illness | The notion of “Mental illness” is a myth. There is usually nothing wrong with your body or your brain, you are suffering the consequences of sin in your life. You do indeed feel sick, but you would get better if you repent and change your lifestyle. (1 Timothy 6:10) |
| Its not your fault, you didn’t cause this | Your actions and choices are the primary cause of the guilt you should be feeling (Ps 51:3-4) |
| You need drugs | You need to repent (Luke 13:3) |
| Your genes are the cause of your problem | Your sin has caused most the problems you suffer (Proverbs 3:5-8) |
| The solution to your problems is outside help of a trained professional psychiatrist. | The solution to your problems is dependant upon your taking action to repent and cleansing the inside of your heart. (James 4:8) |
| The diagnosis of your problem from within you | The diagnosis of your problem from outside (God) (Proverbs 14:12) |
| Preachers make bad psychiatric councilors, cause damage to individuals. | Preachers and Christians in general, make good psychiatric councilors (Romans 15:14) |
| Only trained and certified psychiatrists can help. | Psychiatrists with 11 years of university education cannot help as well as knowledgeable Christians. (1 Peter 5:8) |
| Don’t get personally involved with the person and keep your feelings out of it. | Personally involved as a brother and emotionally involved. (Acts 20; 2 Cor 11:29) |
| Never give advice or moralize | Preach the word, rebuke, reprove, exhort, with great patience and instruction 2 Tim 4:2 |
D. To illustrate fictitiously the differences between the various systems, consider the following parable. Picture a poor fellow sitting on a tack suffering from severe pain. The little red warning light on the dashboard of the car is going off!
- A counselor approaches him who holds the somatic or chemical view-point
:. Hearing the client’s complaints, he immediately pre-scribes tranquilizers or pain killers. The solution is to anesthetize him. Or perhaps the client is a do-it-yourselfer who does not have any pills in the medicine closet. He may resort to his own chemical solution by anesthetizing his brain with alcohol. If a surgical specialist is on hand he may suggest that the nerves which are activated may be severed. This will knock out the symptoms and give the client relief. Smash the red light on the dashboard!
- Then, of course, there’s the Freudian analyst who looks over the situation and says
: These pains are located near the sexual area. I think we’d better go back into the patient’s childhood experiences and learn about some of his early sexual experiences. Then, perhaps we’ll be able to alleviate his pain, though of course no assurance can be given. We recognize that he has been wrongly socialized and his superego is a cruel tyrant. If he can be resocialized he will possibly get better.
- Next, a disciple of Rogers appears
: When the sufferer asks him what he must do to get relief, the therapist replies: I’m not going to advise anything. I’m sure that you have all the resources within yourself to solve the difficulty. I’ll reflect your questions back to you and help you clarify and gain insight. Now, sir, you say you are torn two ways?
- Finally a Christian (nouthetic counselor) comes upon the scene
: He looks around and finds a tack under the client. He says, “Get off that tack. Now that you’re up, sit down on a chair over here and we’ll talk about how you can avoid sitting on tacks in the future.” (Competent to council, Jay Adams, p104)
