Last time I checked doctors and waitresses dont mess with your mind and fill your head with anti-biblical "world philosophies".They certainly dont tell you that the 12 steps are biblical.THE 12 STEPS CAME FROM A FAMILLIAR SPIRIT.BILL WILSON WAS IN A TRANCE WHEN HE RECIEVED THOSE SO CALLED BIBLICAL STEPS.ITS IN HIS BIOGRAPHY.READ IT YOURSELF.After Ricks interview on cnn last night its clear to see how luke warm he really is.He will accept anything without weighing it against the word.
Col2:8Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
The authors of psychiatry were deeply involved in the occult,but its okay now because pastors have put a christian spin on a man made philosophy.NOT A CHANCE.Why not get santa to preach the next sermon while youre at it.
Dr.Dobson has been caught multiple times in bold faced lies about aborted babies being used in the production of vaccines.Hes denys it even when he has had the facts right in his face.Hes more concerned with protecting his profession.
I'm not saying that Rick is a bad person.By his interview he seems like a giving caring person...hes just not too swift when it comes to accepting world philosophies.Even when he was confronted with the psychology issue,he acted completely ignorant,basically "nobody told me its wrong so I'll accept it anyway"THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG THERE.He said that CR wasnt based on psychology.He clearly lied.Dont tell me he didnt because its says that right on the CR website.The bible is clear we are to weigh beliefs against the word and if they dont measure up we are to reject them.Even PDL is loaded with psychobabble.He clearly knows nothing about spiritual warfare,most baptists dont.They preach against gays ect... then will go to the theater and fill their heads with witchcraft and call it harmless fantacy.When Jesus cast the demons out of the crazy man,he just did it and the man was delivered instantly.Good thing this didnt happen now they would have dumped theologies on Jesus in an attempt to silence him and sent the demonized man to recovery and therapy,then scratch their heads in wonder as to why he relapsed 6 monthas later....MY PEOPLE PERISH FOR A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE.Enjoy your itching ears.
People are being deceived when they think they can use both psychology and the Bible. You cannot mix oil and water.
The roots of psychology include Carl Rogers, Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud ect..all of whom opposed Christianity and had involvement in the occult .
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire Matthew 7:15-19.
Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
2 Tim 3:16-17
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do Heb. 4:12-13.
By the way I HAVE seen for myself.My hubby is involved and has the literature.CR is AA repackaged.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I will give Celebrate recovery credit where credit is due,they do view addiction as sin and not a disease as AA does.However as of yet there are far too many components of AA in CR to be deemed separate from the world.
Step 1-We admitted we were powerless over our addictions and compulsive behaviors, that our lives had become unmanageable.
I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
{Thats just human nature,what does that have to do with addiction}
Romans 7:18 BUT WHAT ABOUT....
I can do all things through Christ.....How can a christian truelly claim to be powerless.
Step 2-We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity....HOW ABOUT...We KNOW that Jesus is the only one who can restore us to sanity.
For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose.Philippians 2:13
Step 3- We made a decision to turn our wills and our lives over to the care of God.{Shouldnt that have been done at the moment of salvation.}
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God — this is your spiritual act of worship.Romans 12:1
Step 4- We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
{This is fine however I dont believe that we need to share them with a sponsor}
Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the LORD. {RETURN TO THE LORD,not share them with a sponsor}Lamentations 3:40
Step 5- We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.James 5:16
{It still doesnt say hang out your dirty gonchies from 1-50 years back and share it with a sponsor.Sin is to be confessed at the time,it happens and only if it harmed some other person,otherwise the bible is clear that sin is to be confessed to Christ ALONE. For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus."--I Tim. 2. 5 }This confession bit has been taken way too far.
Step 6-We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. James 4:10
{Another scripture that is vague at best,its about being humble,no mention of removing supposed defects of character. Mabe they should be asking God to show them what those defects are first or if he even wants you to remove them,who says they cant be turned around and used for good.}
Step 7-Humbly asked Him to remove all our shortcomings.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.1 John 1:9
{This scripture has nothing to do with shortcomings,its about confessing sin to GOD}
Step 8-We made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
Do to others as you would have them do to you.Luke 6:31
{ Again,the scripture is vague,no mention of making amends,the scripture is about being careful not to harm,or judge others unrighteously or it will come back to you.}
Step 9-We made direct amends to such people whenever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.Matthew 5:23-24 {Fair enough}
Step 10-We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!1 Corinthians 10:12 {Again,VAGUE.}
Step 11-We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and power to carry that out.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.Colossians 3:16 { A scripture about the Holy spirit would be far more appropriate.What does this scripture have to do with praying}
Step 12-Having had a spiritual experience as the result of these steps, {Now THIS irritates me,A SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE AS A RESULT OF THE STEPS.Um that sort of strikes me as giving God a big boot in the face.Spiritual experiences come from the moving of the holy spirit ,reading and obeying the word and accepting Christ into our lives.Not MAN/demon MADE steps.}we tried to carry this message to others and to practice these principles in all our affairs.{Mabe others dont want such a heretical message}
Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.
Galatians 6:1 {Somehow I dont see how steppers are qualified to do this,the bible says that pastors and elders are to do this.You who are spiritual should be emphasised.}
To try to put a biblical spin on steps that came from a demon is more than rediculous.Thats the devils signature "PARTIAL TRUTH".The steps are loaded with it.The bible is clear,its the only book we need to guide our lives.
Youre concerned with the psycho heresy people being white.Bill Wilson was white and lets just say very proud of it.I dont think RW has any idea where the steps came from.AA is not christian.it was associated for a time with the oxford group.BW never ONCE declared Jesus Christ as his savior.I have the big book and other AA literature.Its pure heresy.There is ONE way to God.In the big book there are many ways.Even using the term "higher power" is heresy.Satan has crept in because churches cant be bothered to look at the ROOT of what they are accepting.If the root is poison,then ultimately that poison will come through the new branches,one way or another.The devil is counting on churches to turn a blind eye.I will leave you alone.I wont post again.I just believe that the church needs to be made aware of wolves in sheeps clothing.I too was a devout follower of RW and the PDL.I even turned a blind eye to the twisted scriptures in that book.Untill I read it for the third time rejecting the psycho babble.According to PDL ,everyone should be a social butterfly doing Gods work to earn some sort of brownie points with God.Apparently Rick doesnt have little kids.CR tells its followers to take a "mini-retreat" Thats nice and all but welcome to the real world. Moms dont get mini retreats.While the dads recover the moms do what...bear the whole load,while dad becomes totally self serving and selfcentered,totally absorbed in mind control recovery groups.Sorry,it doesnt fly.The family comes first.I have found over and over again that these recovery groups are anything but family friendly.In fact the divorce rate soars after the husband has gone into recovery because they become so selfish.Thats not of God.Neither is the recovery movement.
Well now isnt this interresting- For a man who doesnt like psychology.he sure writes alot of books about it.Ricky has a book about Anxiety disorders and self esteem.Yup he must dislike psychology a lot.Hes making plenty of dough off of it.
