The article “The Essence of Christian Psychology” is derived from over 55+ years of studies and is a streamlined, updated extract from a book of similar subject area and follows the 90/10 rule – 90% of the actionable information with 10% of the written material.
This writer had a desire to know the “Truth”, did not know what the “Truth” looked like but did know that any proposed understanding of the “Truth” would have to explain what righteousness is and why the present Church of God has no spiritual power.
Isaiah 28:9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? [them that are] weaned from the milk, [and] drawn from the breasts. 10 For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little:
2Timothy 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Scriptural Truths are scattered throughout the Bible and no scripture can be interpreted in a way which contradicts any other scripture so the task of assembling scripture into a coherent and non-contradictory picture was a daunting task.
By about 1995 computers, word processing software and Bible search software were sufficiently advanced that computer searches were faster than thumbing through Strong’s Concordance and so my efforts to assemble Bible Truths into coherent and non-contradictory concepts was able to be taken to a much more efficient level.
Previous to 1995 this writer had learned the internalization principle from secular sources. The internalization principle is found in the Bible and has been understood and practised by Jewish Sages for thousands of years although those same sages thought it prudent to withhold this information from the goyim.
It is so easy to take a verse and go off on a tangent – there are over 5,000 Christian denominations all based on the same set of scriptures. This writer is not concerned that any scholar will be able to assemble all the scriptures in this article cited into an alternate and non-contradicting picture – it is too much work!
This writer performed this work for his own edification and my heart is now at peace. This information is being provided as a public service to the Church of God at large.
The apostolic Church began with one hundred and twenty members. If one hundred and twenty members of the end times church take this information to heart and apply it, the kingdom of Satan will be promptly crushed to powder.
Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy [is] understanding.
Proverbs 9:9 Give [instruction] to a wise [man], and he will be yet wiser: teach a just [man], and he will increase in learning.
Proverbs 1:5 A wise [man] will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
Hebrews 5:11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. 12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which [be] the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13 For every one that useth milk [is] unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
This writer has neither the aptitude, desire or requisite qualifications to tell other people how to live their life. If the reader needs the permission of a pastor, priest, rabbi or imam to read or apply this information then seek that permission by all means and good luck! If the reader is able to accept responsibility for their own spiritual pilgrimage then those readers are in luck – the heavy lifting has been done! It is advisable to copy the article and paste it into a word processor just in case. As the reader proceeds with his own studies he will find many other scriptures that are applicable and expand his understanding. Translation errors are always a factor but as you bring more scriptures into harmony translation errors become less relevant.
