"Most evangelicals are convinced that psychotherapy is scientific and that it is necessary to supply what is lacking in the Bible regarding man's mental, emotional, and behavioral needs.
"So what's the problem of psychotherapy? According to numerous scientific studies, it rarely works (and then only superficially) and is known to be harmful. From a Biblical perspective, it is an anti-Christian, religious counterfeit."
"Psychotherapy has shipwrecked the faith of many regarding the sufficiency of the Bible. Because psychologists claim to have insights into the nature of man, and also methods for change not found in the Bible, it follows that the Bible cannot be sufficient for counseling or addressing believers mental, emotional, and behavioral needs.
"Psychotherapy has sold the church the lie that psychology can be integrated with the Bible. Since psychology and the Bible are fundamentally in opposition to one another, it should be obvious that there can be no real integration of their teachings."
