The Psychological Translation of the Bible | thebereancall.org

In John:8:31-32, Jesus says: “If you continue in my Word, then are you my disciples indeed, and you will know THE truth, and THE truth will make you free.”

Now, let me give you the Christian psychologist’s new translation of this verse. Jesus said: If you continue in my word, then you are my disciples indeed, and you will know part of the truth, and you will be set partially free, but you wouldn’t be set completely free, because the Holy Spirit, through ignorance or oversight has left out some essential parts of counseling and the need that people have to live a satisfied, fulfilled, Christ exalting life, a happy life, and so forth. But one glad day, those great prophets of truth - truth missing from the Bible - Freud and Jung and Rogers and Maslow, atheists to a man, anti-God, will be inspired to put before us those things that the Holy Spirit was ignorant of, or by oversight left out of the Bible. And then, when you integrate Bible and Psychology that counsel this world, at last we will have what the church didn’t have for 1,900 years, and it’s going to be glorious because people will really be living wonderful lives!
