Loving the wrong thing is very destructive
Holding on to yourself is very seductive
Self-love is dangerous and is against the very fabric of the Bible
Some evangelicals integrate psychology with the Bible
The truth is that psychology and the Bible are at odds with each other
Freud considered Christianity (religion) an illusion—
Freud disliked Christianity very much
Maslow and Carl Rogers were New Agers and occultist—
It is therefore very strange to see Christians combining the Bible with psychology
Today the common message is to build up your ‘self esteem’
Christians today concentrate on the concept of ‘self love’
However, the Bible does warn us in the letter to Timothy,
“For men shall be lovers of their own selves…” (2 Timothy 3:1)
Many churches split because saints are only worried about their churches
i.e they are only worried about their building
Psychology cannot be Christianized in PRINCIPLE but
It has being in the minds of many evangelicals—
Psychology has been giving a room in the church and
It is spreading in the church—the reality is that now
Many Christians love themselves more than they are loving others—
Jesus on the other hand taught us that we must love our neighbour as we love ourselves
Loving the wrong thing is very destructive
Holding on to yourself is very seductive
Self-love is dangerous and is against the very fabric of the Bible
