Is
All Truth (really) God’s Truth?
“Those
who integrate psychology with Christianity declare, "All truth is God’s
truth." Under this umbrella statement, they embrace the speculative
notions of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Alfred Adler, Abraham Maslow, Albert
Ellis, Carl Rogers, and a host of other psychological theorists, depending upon
their own individual biases.”
A
(Godless and sinless) discipline driven by human experience and self improvement ideals
“Psychology
is the study of the mind and behavior. The discipline embraces all aspects of
the human experience — from the
functions of the brain to the actions of nations, from child development to
care for the aged. In every conceivable setting from scientific research
centers to mental healthcare services, "the understanding of
behavior" is the enterprise of psychologists.” [Emphasis added]
Self-ism
(self-idolatry) and the Devil go to church
Pastor
Billy Crone pulls no punches in this hard-hitting sermon
“So
it is made evident at last that the “God within”, to which men are turning
today, is no other than Satan, the great archenemy, who has been plotting man’s
destruction from the very beginning. Self-worshipers are devil worshipers, and
in some instances already this has been avowed by the followers of current
apostasy.” (Ironside, 2004)

Do
you believe this Biblical truth? Does
your pastor?
All
scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all
good works.
(II Timothy 3:16-17) [Emphasis added]
Biblical
warning and instruction
My son, attend unto my wisdom, and
bow thine ear to my understanding: That thou mayest regard discretion,
and that thy lips may keep
knowledge. For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged
sword. Her
feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. Lest thou shouldest ponder the path
of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from
the words of my mouth.
Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of
her house:
Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto
the cruel:
Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger; And thou mourn at the last, when thy
flesh and thy body are consumed,
And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised
reproof;
And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined
mine ear to them that instructed me!
I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation
and assembly.
(Proverbs
5:1-14) [Emphasis added]
This people draweth nigh unto me
with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from
me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
(Matthew 15:8-9) [Emphasis added]
Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. I
speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless,
is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it
not the communion of the body of Christ? For we being many are one bread, and
one body: for we are all partakers of
that one bread. Behold Israel after the flesh: are
not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? What
say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice
to idols is any thing? But I say, that the things
which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and
I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye
cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? (I Corinthians 10:18-22) [Emphasis
added]
This know also, that in the last
days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous,
boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection,
trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are
good, Traitors,
heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but
denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead
captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of
the truth. (II Timothy 3:1-7) [Emphasis added]
I
charge thee therefore before
God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his
appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of
season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For
the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their
own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall
be turned unto fables.
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the
work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. (II Timothy 4:1)
[Emphasis added]
These are spots in your feasts of
charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are
without water, carried about of winds;
trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame;
wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. And Enoch also, the seventh from
Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands
of his saints,
To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are
ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly
committed, and of all their hard speeches
which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
These are murmurers, complainers,
walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in
admiration because of advantage.
But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before
of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly
lusts. These
be they who separate themselves, sensual,
having not the Spirit.
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy
faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of
our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (Jude 1:12-21)
[Emphasis added]
Notwithstanding I have a few things
against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself
a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to
eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of
her fornication; and she repented not.
Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit
adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with
death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins
and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. But unto you I say, and unto the
rest in Thyatira, as many as have not
this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak;
I will put upon you none other burden.
But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. (Revelation
2:20-25) [Emphasis added]
The fruit of Christ-less self
improvement
When the unclean spirit is gone out
of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then
he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is
come, he findeth it empty,
swept, and garnished.
Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits
more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the
first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. (Matthew 12:43-45)
God’s truth is all truth!
“And
now let me press a question upon my hearers, whether saved or unsaved. You must
also leave this scene shortly. What kind of works are going to follow you? If
you are saved, what have you been doing for the Lord? If you are unsaved, oh
then, I beg you to remember that your sin will follow after you—those sins for
which, in your folly, you thought you could atone by your own effort. When you
stand up, at last, poor and naked and miserable, before the Great White Throne,
you will find all of your sins there, and they will fasten upon you like the
hell-hounds that they really are and drag you down into the lake of fire. Do
not, I beseech you, turn away from this solemn truth. The blood of Christ alone can wash you from all of those sins, and
then, as a believer in the Lord Jesus, you can live for Him in this scene,
and your works will follow you to heaven because all that is done for Christ
will abide for eternity.” (Ironside, 2004) [Emphasis added]

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
(John 14:6)
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal
life: and they are they which testify of me.
(John 5:39)
Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is
written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
(Hebrews 10:7)
The
words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by
the masters of assemblies, which are given from one
shepherd.
And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many
books there is no end; and much
study is a weariness of the
flesh. Let
us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his
commandments: for this is the
whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into
judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it
be evil.
(Ecclesiastes12:11-14)
[Emphasis added]
Ye shall not eat!
Now the serpent was more subtil
than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the
woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not
eat of every tree of the garden? (Genesis 3:1)
