Science

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
- 1 Timothy 6:20-21

There is a large 'body of knowledge' I believe, that may be covered by the bible phrase :
"OPPOSITIONS OF SCIENCE FALSELY SO CALLED".

The whole study of psychology and psychiatry and the 'mental health industry' is suspect in this regard.

When you begin with the fact of the body of the believer being the "temple of The Holy Spirit" you end up at a very different 'place'.

The unbeliever
is controlled
by the devil.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. - John‬ ‭8‬:‭44‬

If much "mental health issues" are approached from this biblical perspective; we would soon begin to see the implication of "having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof.

The fact of the matter is that the Christian church in America historically was the pioneer in "higher education". Most 'Ivy league'
schools were originally seminaries.

It is noteworthy that Jesus ministry involved "teaching, preaching and healing. The disciples continued, having "received power" to "turn the world upside down" !

The church has abandoned its mission IMHO and it's "roots". It has given over "the healing of the nations" to ungodly men of science falsely so called.

PRAY & NOT FAINT
And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily.

Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? - Luke‬ ‭18‬:‭7-8‬

Modern Christianity, I believe, seems to have abandoned the 'all-encompassing' power of the Holy Spirit in favor of the "vain babblings" of ungodly 'scientists' falsely so called. We are clearly instructed not to "walk in the counsel of the ungodly."
