I do not agree with the statement that psychology is just sinful human beings
sinfully thinking about sinful human beings. Sin is a part of our lives because we
are humans. Sometimes the Bible hurts us with the truth by giving us many
explanations and examples of sin. The Bible also helps us learn from the truth
how we can be saved from sin and death through Christ Jesus. (Romans 5:12
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through
sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned. Every day human beings
struggle with sin, and the only exclusion is Jesus Christ. Entwistle (2015)
expresses objection to the integration of psychology and Christianity and argues
that some people think that psychology and Christianity are comparable. Sin can
have a profound serious effect on a person’s life. This deceitful constituent can
deceive a person into thinking that sinful attitudes and behaviors are under
control, but they are not. (2 Corinthians 11:14) But I am not surprised even Satan
disguises himself as an angel of light. The Bible is God's word for the care of the
soul. I see sin as the worst problem and the work of Christ as the cure of sin.
(Galatians 5:19-21) United by a mutual love of Christ and rejecting divisiveness as
a work of the flesh. It is important to seek to be peacemakers. In the beginning,
there was no sin separating Adam and Eve from God, they had the perfect
relationship. Although the sin of man brought a disastrous end to the wonderful
relationship. God kindly promised us eternal life in Heaven, to everyone who, in
faith through obedience, accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour of their life (1
John 5:11-13). Ken Sande (2004) wrote The Peace Make. A book a biblical guide
to resolving personal conflict. He expresses that peacemakers draw on the
goodness and power of Jesus Christ. a
