My pastor holds the view the Psychology only exists to help us deal with the GUILT of our sin and not the sin itself.

I agree with him.

Psychology is the study of the mind (psyche).

It involves the functioning and biology of the brain and goes from there to an attempt to understand how individual behavior is affected by that mind. It's really no different than understanding how the function (or malfunction) of the heart has certain physiological responses.)

How the function of the brain has certain behavioral responses.

So far, we've done nothing unChristian, have we?

So tell me ksen. When I went into a deep depression following my round with cancer, just exactly what sin did I need to deal with?

I was meeting regularly with my Pastor at the time (a good Evangelical Presbyterian). He insisted I go to a counselor.

Thank God he did.
