A BAD TREE CANNOT PRODUCE GOOD FRUIT
"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." (Matthew 7:15-18)
You can't plant corn and expect to harvest tomatoes, just as you can't take a so-called science that is based upon a myriad of false
premises, and expect to produce satisfactory results in laboratory experiments. The alchemists of the middle ages proved that to be true.
They tried for 500 years to turn lead into gold, and failed miserably in their efforts. They failed to grasp the obvious: Elements are
intrinsically stable entities that are unchangeable in structure. They can only be changed in form, not in substance. You can apply heat and
cause them to melt into liquid form, but you cannot change their structural integrity. Molten lead is still lead, and there is nothing you can do
to alter that fact.
In like manner, one cannot apply the absurdities, and crackpot theories accepted by the medical profession which pertain to the human
mind, and expect to produce anything other than a greater form of insanity. The basis by which the results of scientific experimentation are
accepted as fact is repeatability, something totally unknown in the field of psychology. What may be accepted as a cure for one patient,
may cause another patient to commit suicide. Nowhere is that more evidently portrayed than in the numerous cases where so-called
antidepressant drugs are administered. Many people who take those prescribed drugs have either committed suicide, murdered others, or
both. Those drugged patients who have not yet exhibited suicidal or homicidal tendencies, are in a perpetual state of schizophrenia, never
knowing what true reality actually is. They live in La-La Land, like Dorothy in the Land of Oz, totally incapable of rational thinking.
To further illustrate the truth of the Word of God, where Jesus stated that a bad tree cannot produce good fruit, just look at the life histories
of the men and women that gave birth to the so-called science of psychology. Sigmund Freud, Carl Gustav Jung, Alfred Kinsey, and
Wilhelm Reich. These people can rightly be called the tree of psychology. Examine the tree: Is it a good tree, or a bad tree?
Sigmund Freud: In the 1870s, Freud joined the medical faculty at the University of Vienna, where he studied under Prof. Karl Claus, an
Atheist/Darwinist. He spent his days there dissecting eels, and searching for their testicles. In those days, a racist theory was widely
circulating throughout that university, which claimed that Jews and Gypsies were reptilian creatures, and physically related to eels. That is
no joke, folks: You can't make something like this up. Freud even published his first paper entitled: The testicles of eels. Biographers
wonder if this early period of his studies formed the basis of his definition of the Human Psyche as being formed entirely by sexual drives.
Freud was heavily addicted to cocaine, and used it not only as a stimulant, but also as an analgesic. Freud wrote a well received paper on
the subject, entitled On Coca, and prescribed it for his friend Ernst von Fleishl-Marxow, as a cure for his morphine addiction, who then
developed a sever case of cocaine psychosis, and died a few years later a complete lunatic.
Carl Gustav Jung: He is regarded as the founder of analytical psychology. Although he was a theoretical psychologist and practicing
clinician, much of his life's work was spent exploring other realms, including Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology,
sociology, as well as literature and the arts. His most notable ideas include the concept of archetypes, the collective unconscious and
synchronicity.
Jung emphasized the importance of balance and harmony. He cautioned that modern people rely too heavily on science and logic and
would benefit from integrating spirituality and appreciation of unconscious realms. God forbid that Logic should ever be practiced in critical
thinking! Better to live in a dream world of Hindu-Buddhism, where there are no absolutes, and truth is relative. Under such shamanic
influence, each individual can create his own reality --- That sure is scientific fact, isn't it?
Jung's marriage with Emma produced five children and lasted until Emma's death in 1955, but he had more or less open relationships with
other women. The most well-known women with whom Jung is believed to have had extramarital affairs were patient and friend Sabina
Spielrein, and Toni Wolff. He was an adulterer and a whoremonger, and he had sex with his patients. That is very professional, is it not?
Jung continued to publish books until the end of his life, including a work showing his late interest in flying saucers. He became fixated in
the belief in space boogies, which makes him a prime candidate for being a guest on Coast To Coast AM, with George Noory, only he's
dead.
Jung was a Nazi sympathiser, who actually believed that he was God. Read the book entitled The Aryan Christ: the biography of Carl
Gustav Jung which is available through Amazon.com. But the Aryan Christ died a most un-christlike death. He died of syphilis, which he
contracted at a bordello in Italy, the result of his adultery and whoremongering.
The True Christ atoned for our sins by his death on the cross, having lived a sinless life. The Aryan Christ actively participated in our sins,
and his death could atone for nothing at all.
Alfred Kinsey: Kinsey's research on human sexuality profoundly influenced social and cultural values in the United States and many other
countries. In 1981 questions were raised of how Kinsey and his staff gathered the information to produce some of the data in the Kinsey
Reports. Attention was directed to Tables 30-34 of Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, which report observations of orgasms in over
three-hundred children between the ages of five months and fourteen years. Former and current directors of The Kinsey Institute confirmed
that some of the information was gathered from nine pedophiles and that Kinsey chose not to report the pedophiles to the authorities,
balancing what Kinsey saw as the need for their anonymity against the likelihood that their crimes would continue.
Kinsey had been rumored to participate in unusual sexual practices. James H. Jones's biography, Alfred C. Kinsey: A Public/Private Life,
describes Kinsey as bisexual and experimenting in masochism. He encouraged group sex involving his graduate students, wife and staff.
Kinsey filmed sexual acts in the attic of his home as part of his research. Biographer Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy explained that using
Kinsey's home for the filming of sexual acts was done to ensure the films' secrecy, which would certainly have caused a scandal had the
public become aware of them.
James H. Jones wrote that Kinsey’s appetite for unconventional sex and his disdain for conventional sexual morality, drove Kinsey's
agenda to strip sexuality of guilt and to undermine traditional sexual morality. Critics contend that Kinsey allowed his agenda to bias his
work. They point to Kinsey's over-representation of prisoners and prostitutes, his classification of selected single people as "married" and
his refusal to use African Americans in his research.
Wilhelm Reich: Reich was a controversial figure, who came to be viewed by the medical community as having succumbed to mental
illness. His work on the link between human sexuality and neuroses emphasized "orgastic potency" as the foremost criterion for psycho-
physical health. He said he had discovered a form of energy, which he called "orgone," that permeated the atmosphere and all living
matter, and he built "orgone accumulators," which his patients sat inside to harness the energy for its reputed health benefits. It was this
work, in particular, that cemented the rift between Reich and the psychoanalytic establishment. Can you imagine a psychiatrist having his
patient sit inside an electrical contraption for hours on end, in hopes of achieving orgasmic integrity? This smacks of people who wear
tinfoil hats with attached wires that are inserted into their mouths in hopes of hearing from beings from outer space.
In 1947, following a series of critical articles about orgone and his political views in The New Republic and Harper's, the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) began an investigation into his claims, winning an injunction against the interstate sale of orgone accumulators.
Charged with contempt of court for violating the injunction, Reich conducted his own defense, which involved sending the judge all his
books to read, and arguing that a court was no place to decide matters of science. He was sentenced to two years in prison, and in August
1956, several tons of his publications were burned by the FDA. He died of heart failure in jail just over a year later, days before he was due
to apply for parole.
Reich agreed with Freud that sexual development was the origin of mental illness. They both believed that most psychological states were
dictated by unconscious processes; that infant sexuality develops early but is repressed, and that this has important consequences for
mental health. Of course, you realize that your new baby is a virtual sex machine, who will rape his mother when he grows larger!
Reich was Marxist, Reich argued that the source of sexual repression was bourgeois morality and the socio-economic structures that
produced it. As sexual repression was the cause of the neuroses, the best cure would be to have an active, guilt-free sex life. He argued
that such a liberation could come about only through a morality not imposed by a repressive economic structure. In 1928, he joined the
Austrian Communist Party and founded the Socialist Association for Sexual Counselling and Research, which organized counseling
centers for workers — in contrast to Freud, who was perceived as treating only the bourgeoisie. Only Marxists can have good sex,
according to this crackpot!
Reich used touch to accompany the talking cure, taking an active role in sessions, feeling his patients' chests to check their breathing,
repositioning their bodies, and sometimes requiring them to remove their clothes, so that men were treated wearing shorts and women in
bra and panties. Touchy, feely, nudie, fruity!
There were many other crackpots and loonies which made up the tree of psychology, but the four mentioned above were typical of them all.
And all those who practice psychotherapy hold one glaring fault in common: Their research is deeply flawed because they only studied
people that were mental defectives. They had no paradigm for the healthy mind. All of them, without exception, rejected the Living Word of
God as Absolute Truth, so they had no benchmark as a point of reference. That is only to be expected, since they themselves were morally
and spiritually defective. They were drug addicts, delusional megalomaniacs, sexual perverts, and all of them were driven by the lust for
fame, fortune, and validation by the scientific community at large. They all made up the trunk of a very bad tree.
THE CORRUPT FRUIT OF THIS VERY BAD TREE
Before psychology became recognized as a legitimate science by the governmental agencies and academia in general, there were
occasional nut cases and whack jobs to be found among the general population. They were either looked after by relatives, had their asses
whipped from time to time to control their outbursts, or they were sequestered away in dungeons and segregated from society. Sometimes
if they committed violent crimes, they were executed. That old system wasn't as bad as we now think it was. Society as a whole was
relatively safe from attack by miscreants. That situation is now drastically and unalterably changed for the worse.
Since the theories of the psychologists, psychiatrists, and sociologists have been accepted as fact by governmental and secular society,
the entire Western World is infested by mentally depraved whack jobs. The radio and television talk shows have popularized insanity, and
converted into an acceptable, alternative lifestyle, and have removed all sense of shame from society. They have done this by removing the
stigma of sin from depravity, and transferring culpability over to the medical profession. They have changed not only morality itself, but our
very language as well. Plain speaking has been replaced by euphemism and jargon designed to remove all blame for sin and wickedness
from humanity, and place it squarely on the shoulders of God, who the psychologists and scientists in general hate with a venomous
passion. No longer is a spade called a spade, but euphemistic psychobabble is now the lingua franca.
The transmogrification of depravity to illness is complete. The drunkard is now an "alcoholic." The dope fiend is now a "substance abuser."
The glutton now is called someone who suffers from an "eating disorder." Adultery and fornication are now attributed to a "lack of self
esteem." The sodomite and the lesbian are now called "gay." Child molesters are now "pedophiles." People with filthy mouths are said to
suffer from "Tourette's Syndrome. Murderers, thieves, rapists, and robbers are said to suffer from "antisocial behavioural symptoms."
Corrupt,egomaniacal bastards and pathological liars are eagerly and unanimously elected to political office, where they are expected to
perform in a manner beneficial to society --- and then re-elected after their corruption is exposed!
On the other hand, Those who believe in Jesus Christ and desire to follow his precepts are labeled as bigots, radicals, and even terrorists!
Christian pastors are sued, church property confiscated, and the pastors are even imprisoned for preaching the truth of God's Word.
Christian parents routinely have their children taken away and placed in foster homes. The atheist agents of the governmental bureaucracy
-- particularly the educational system -- are eating up God's people as if they were French bread, and this is considered "normal." What is
wrong with this picture? Are the majority of Americans insane? Evidently they are, because they expect to eat good fruit from a corrupt tree.
"Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" (Matthew 7:16)
The people of the so-called civilized Western nations, and America in particular, have lost their way, and the blind are leading the blind.
That's why the world is falling into the abyss.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth
good.
The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD." (Psalms
14:1-4)
GOD'S INSURANCE POLICY AGAINST MENTAL ILLNESS
God is not willing that mankind should suffer in the throes of insanity, depression, anxiety, rage, or helplessness. Those symptoms of
suffering do not come from God, but from Satan, the adversary. The advise and so-called "therapy" of the psychological community are not
divine and blessed, but demonic and oppressive.
"This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish." (James 3:15)
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." (2Timothy 1:7)
That last verse has deliberately been mistranslated in the New International Version of the Bible (NIV). The translators of that uninspired
paraphrase substituted the word "discipline" for the term "a sound mind." Anyone with a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, or
a Greek lexicon can discover that the word used for "sound mind" is the Greek word saphronesimus, which means "sanity. The good old
King James Version rocks!
God has an insurance policy that he will give absolutely free of charge to anyone that will accept it. This policy has certain conditions that
must be met, but they are very easy and affordable. The first condition is that of stopping one's ears to the lies of the psychologists and
sociologists, and opening them to Absolute Truth --- Truth that satisfies the soul and mind to an extent never before imagined:
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." (Isaiah 26:3)
"Yea, let God be true, but every man a liar." (Romans 3:4)
God promises perfect peace and tranquility of mind to those that trust in him, and fix their minds upon his Word. Furthermore, God has a
cure for anxiety that is foolproof.
"Be careful ( anxious) for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made
known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:
6-7)
There's no need to suffer in the throes of anxiety and depression. Whatever problems we may face, though seemingly unsurmountable,
can be brought to God in prayer, remembering to be thankful for the blessings he has given us, instead of dwelling on what we lack. We go
to the Throne of Grace in prayer, Thanking God for being our Father, and presenting our needs before him in supplication. God then
promises to keep us mentally sane and give us peace that no psychologist can possibly understand, or comprehend. The peace of God will
guard and keep our hearts through Christ Jesus: Take that to the bank!
In the famous play by Tennessee Williams entitled Cat on a hot tin roof, The character known as "Big Daddy," Played by the late Burl
Ives, is confronted by his drunken slob of a son, "Brick," played by Paul Newman. Big Daddy is absolutely fed up with his youngest son
whining and snivelling, and drunkenly wallowing in self pity. His words struck to the very core of the matter like an arrow to the heart:
"Whatever it is that your doing that you shouldn't be doing, Stop it! Whatever it is that you ought to be doing, but aren't doing, Start doing
it!" End of problem.
The apostle Paul, in his epistle to the Philippian Church, Gave this advice to guard against depression and anxiety:
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things
are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,
think on these things.
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with
you." (Philippians 4:8-9)
"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." (Matthew 7:15-18)
You can't plant corn and expect to harvest tomatoes, just as you can't take a so-called science that is based upon a myriad of false
premises, and expect to produce satisfactory results in laboratory experiments. The alchemists of the middle ages proved that to be true.
They tried for 500 years to turn lead into gold, and failed miserably in their efforts. They failed to grasp the obvious: Elements are
intrinsically stable entities that are unchangeable in structure. They can only be changed in form, not in substance. You can apply heat and
cause them to melt into liquid form, but you cannot change their structural integrity. Molten lead is still lead, and there is nothing you can do
to alter that fact.
In like manner, one cannot apply the absurdities, and crackpot theories accepted by the medical profession which pertain to the human
mind, and expect to produce anything other than a greater form of insanity. The basis by which the results of scientific experimentation are
accepted as fact is repeatability, something totally unknown in the field of psychology. What may be accepted as a cure for one patient,

can be brought to God in prayer, remembering to be thankful for the blessings he has given us, instead of dwelling on what we lack. We go
to the Throne of Grace in prayer, Thanking God for being our Father, and presenting our needs before him in supplication. God then
promises to keep us mentally sane and give us peace that no psychologist can possibly understand, or comprehend. The peace of God will
guard and keep our hearts through Christ Jesus: Take that to the bank!
In the famous play by Tennessee Williams entitled Cat on a hot tin roof, The character known as "Big Daddy," Played by the late Burl
Ives, is confronted by his drunken slob of a son, "Brick," played by Paul Newman. Big Daddy is absolutely fed up with his youngest son
whining and snivelling, and drunkenly wallowing in self pity. His words struck to the very core of the matter like an arrow to the heart:
"Whatever it is that your doing that you shouldn't be doing, Stop it! Whatever it is that you ought to be doing, but aren't doing, Start doing
it!" End of problem.
The apostle Paul, in his epistle to the Philippian Church, Gave this advice to guard against depression and anxiety:
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things
are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,
think on these things.
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with
you." (Philippians 4:8-9)
