@BasedMikeLee @elonmusk Maybe he should stop using Hitlers playbook.

@elonmusk Sadly true

When you compare Trump to Hitler You encourage assassination attempts Stop it There’s *zero* legal or moral justification for violence against him I invite all Democrats to echo this message

@FlourishHusband @megbasham Yawn. You wouldn’t know what communism was if it smacked you in your sac. Your hypocrisy is quite telling. Elements such as your ilk hate it because you’re worried that you might lose power and influence.

@rmhoffmanauthor @megbasham Thanks, but I don’t remember asking you. Communist. Repent of your wickedness, wolf.

I know I know, I'm gonna come off like a backward, simpleminded Bible-thumper for saying this. But the Bible literally has the solution to all of these problems. And what's sad is how much of the evangelical expert class derives a living from denying this fact.

@JeremyPatMartin @buckeyebettie I prefer fully accredited schools where have to do actual peer reviewed research.

@rmhoffmanauthor @buckeyebettie I'm impressed. You should go ahead and get your Doctorate of Divinity ulc.org/minister-store…

Feminism: Making women unmarriageable since 1960.

@KevinNunnally1 @megbasham Well maybe if the adults would stop abusing their children then there wouldn’t be a problem. Again with the victim blaming.

@megbasham True, look no further than what the supposed Therapy business has done to parents and adult kids relationships.

@wuchnick @megbasham Why do people in the church victim blame?

@megbasham Competent to Counsel by Jay Adams can give direction to any Biblically literate Spirit-filled layperson to be a Galatians 6:1-2 rescuer as 99% of mental illness is uncontested sin.

@HexagonKri33900 @megbasham It is laughable and harmful. Neolithic counseling is mostly victim blaming.

"A Theology of Biblical Counsel" by Heath Lambert goes over this: An optimal system of counseling can be wholly derived from Scripture from first principles. Inasmuch as other therapy methods are efficacious, it is because they resemble what a Biblical counseling system looks like.

@FlourishHusband @megbasham Not even remotely close.

Modern therapy is derived from the post modernist school and those men were not only nihilistic atheists, they were wicked and evil perverts. Freud, et al. And we’ve sent generations of children, families, and couples to these people who were taught with those men as examples and their ideas as gospel. Those same therapists, counselors, psychiatrists and psychologists also attended our college systems where the humanities are essentially Marxist boot camps. And now, biblical beliefs and values are considered evil. How many times have you heard someone say “we have a mental health crisis in this country.”? Is there really any wonder why? See: Romans 1:20

@SirFrosty312225 @megbasham How had it failed? No, please give me your expertise on this subject. Show your data. Real data. You made claim now prove it with data.

Not sure that the “biblical counseling” movement is the answer but clearly the current approach to mental health has failed and caused more harm than good, though it’s hard to sift through the broader damage from our secular post Christian culture and isolate the specific harm from the psych-mental health therapy complex.

@JAnderson269 @sassermac99706 @megbasham Don’t be an asshole.

@sassermac99706 @megbasham And now I think you’re just a liar looking for attention, no sane person would just blurt that out online for the world to see

@JAnderson269 @sassermac99706 @megbasham Job wasn’t a real person. And statements like yours are part of the problem.

@sassermac99706 @megbasham What did Job go through, what did James go through, this life is temporary the goal is heaven despite the trials and tribulations stay strong in Jesus he alone is our strength and salvation

@teegery @megbasham That is laughable. Most therapy is not based on Jung at all.

@megbasham A lot of "therapy" has its roots in Jungian psychology. Peter Jones has written extensively on Jung and how his ideas largely spawned the new age movement and paved the way for the transgender/non-binary movement.

@megbasham @Fair_and_Biased That’s not what counseling is.

Yes, certainly sensitive counseling can be super important for areas like that, not suggesting that counseling is not needed because scripture tells us that we should bear one another burdens and confess our sins to one another, so I think that would fall under both of those headings, depending on what the psychological issue is. But my point is the things that he brings up in this article as the negative consequences of secular therapy culture are all countered by scripture. And if people used that as their standard of mental health, it would solve these problems.

@megbasham So a person suffering from trauma such as rape and abuse just needs the Bible. That is a harmful thing to say and people die because of these types of statements. Trauma and things like it literally change brain structure. You know nothing of what therapy actually is.

@MorganHousley1 Sex is between consenting adults. Marriage is between two adults who want to be together. Abortion is healthcare. Child sexual abuse material is banned. Minding your own business should not be controversial.

Sex is for marriage. Marriage is between one man and one woman. Abortion is murder. Pornography is evil and should be banned. None of these should be controversial.

@drantbradley Hogwash.

So many parents interrogate their son’s lower performing grades but don’t realize that it might the teacher, simply because he’s not a girl.

@megbasham Feminism literally came out of the SBC. It’s about one of the only good things that came out of it.

My thoughts are, keep your feminism out of the SBC. We have no need for counsel from those who are eager to be accepted among the Trinity Forum crowd and who hector Christian colleges to include fewer dead, white men in their reading lists. In other words, go be Methodist somewhere else.

@JeremyPatMartin @buckeyebettie Imagine lecturing an actual biblical scholar.

@rmhoffmanauthor @buckeyebettie There are several different "true marriages" in the Bible. Check out Solomons marriages, and concubines.

@JeremyPatMartin @buckeyebettie This is a hugely ignorant statement. You are relying on bigoted stereotypes devoid of real facts for your judgment on this. You are comparing arranged marriages to child marriage. They are vastly different.

@rmhoffmanauthor @buckeyebettie Sure. An arranged marriage is usually "marry this person" and if you don't there are rarely no consequences, like being banished from the community, or war during feudal times. Or loss of money in wealthy families

@JeremyPatMartin @MalcolmWhy99655 @buckeyebettie Nah, that’s not how that works.

@rmhoffmanauthor @MalcolmWhy99655 @buckeyebettie Yeah, you can refuse, and you will also likely be excommunicated

@JeremyPatMartin @buckeyebettie Arraigned marriage does not equal forced marriage.

@rmhoffmanauthor @buckeyebettie They can literally have ALL of that without a marriage. Marriage has often been forced into people, in fact arranged marriages still happen today.
