But God also heals through those in the medical profession, including counseling.
God allows a lot, in His mercy. He allowed sinners to kill His Son, most of all. And you also know that He allows us to go on sinning for a long time when He could just end us all. The Bible says He is long suffering and doesn’t just do that, although the ugliness and blackness of our hearts repels him like a child rapist/murderer repels us, out of His love and compassion. So look at all the temporary fixes we may have in life, that He allows us to lean on for a time until we come to know that He is all we need. If we have Him, meaning that we’ve been reconciled to Him through Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross, then we know, as the Bible says, that our home isn’t here, and that if we suffer, it’s for the cause of the Gospel, so that ever since the earliest days of the Church there have been martyrs given the grace to not hang on to their lives here at all costs but who suffer torture and death yet maintain peace because of the eternal assurance they have.
If someone doesn’t have that assurance, though, then the reality of Hell after life is what they’re left with. Not my words, but Jesus’ warning, and the reality we all live with. Christians have assurance they won’t suffer that, and the aroma of their assurance of life is a comfort to them, but smells like death to those who are perishing, the Bible says.
Now, then, take for instance well-off people who have everything but Jesus and yet are anxious and depressed and constantly looking for things to fix their lives and keep them entertained or occupied. Psychology likely says they’re ill and need an anti-depressant, but the discomfort they feel is a warning to them that then gets medicated away. And why does psychology say that? Because to psychology, we are just advanced animals, and aging and death are just natural processes, and once life here is over, it’s all over, so best to make your life “meaningful” and not worry about what happens after you die because, to psychology, nothing does. It holds the exact same humanist and secular outlook on life and human life as those who support abortion. There is some natural knowledge about our psychology that is true. For example, some things said about reward and punishment. We can use psychology then when we train animals, and also to some extent in dealing with people. And, there is some truth in psychology about how our biology is involved. It looks at how our senses work, including things like how we have color vision, and how our brain and nervous systems work, but even there its secularism starts to take over. It has started to say that everything is brain, and so there’s a medication to correct things, although it will also admit that things like looking at pornography have negative physical effects on people, including in their brains. We also when looking at psychology have to be on guard for values and beliefs that oppose Christianity but might seem “true” to us, and since we are Christians, remember that we are to become more and more reliant on the Lord. If we will ask for His wisdom, He’ll give it to us.
