BIBLICAL THERAPY HAS ITS ROOTS IN BELIEF MODIFICATION When we want an answer to the question “Why do I do the things I do not want to do” which is based on the statement made by the Apostle Paul in Romans 7:15, we need to turn to the Old Testament where we find the basis […]
KEEPING GOD IN THERAPY It is a very sad thing that so many theologians place such great limitations on their ability to minister simply because they believe the Bible only to be appropriate in dealing with spiritual issues.

THE COMPOSITION OF MAN The composition of man consists of his soul (1 Peter 2:11), his spirit (Romans 8:16), his heart (Hebrews 4:12), his conscience (1 Peter 2:19), his mind (Romans 12:2), as well as “the flesh” and its effects.

WHAT IS BELIEF THERAPY? The fundamental principle underlying Belief Therapy is that people behave as they do because they adhere to the convictions of their beliefs. Dr Paul Carlin, a scripturologist developed Belief Therapy as a Christian therapeutic treatment while ministering to Texas prisoners for over 20 years. He says the underlying premise of “people […]
