In particular, when speaking of Spies, the lines are not as clear as they do not accept the tenets of Christianity but see activities such as prayer or forgiveness as useful to the secular world. Because of this area of debate, the idea of absolutes is not possible. Without absolutes, how can we actually give someone guidance on how and where to go in their lives? Without a spiritual path that is laid out and definite, where does someone with a troubled soul go? I am grateful for the door that the book opens by illustrating how the two worlds of psychology and Christianity can be married yet as in any marriage, there is always areas that are not
For this reason, people who agree with Calvin in believing in predestination often find it difficult to understand why miracles aren’t common occurrences. However, as Swinburne suggests, if miracles were a frequent occurrence, people would live in confusion, not knowing whether to trust that laws such as gravity would remain constant. Swinburne also observes that if God were to interact frequently, humans would become expectant and perhaps take less active roles in society and would, for example, be less likely to find the cure for cancer. Another possible reason for miracles appearing to be sparse and selective is hinted at in Irenaean theodicy, which suggests that people suffer on earth and in life in
He has different ways to view certain things such as death, religion, and strangers. He does not believe in God and does not think that there is an afterlife. Some people may think that his austism is making him think this way. Most people that have autism can only believe what is in front of them and what they can see. This is probably why Christopher thinks the way he does because you can not really see god, and probably doesn’t see the logic in religion either.
Because they live their life devoted to their religion, their belief in the will of God and the notion that God heals, shapes their ideas on health and illness (Hostetler, 1993). The Amish do not practice preventative medicine so it is not uncommon to treat patients who have never been immunized. This can be attributed to lack of education and understanding of diseases and microorganisms (Weyer et al, 2003). Herbal treatments are commonly used as their form of primary intervention. They are more likely to seek out other practitioners such as chiropractors and herbalists as a first choice.
It can also be amongst service users - ie a service user purposefullly not being included in an activity because they have dementia and are unable to interact well with others. It could occur inadvertently when something seems fair but actually excludes a group of people. For example, if a care home decided to organise a religious service for the home because the majority of residents are that religion, this would include people of that religion but anybody else would feel excluded. 1.3 Practises that support equality and inclusion Because everybody has different needs, employers need to be flexible so that everyone can have equal treatment and not be discriminated against. For example, if an employer offers flexible shifts, staff can fit their responsibilities such as child care around their work and not be excluded.
If too much time is spent with the counselor talking, and giving advise, the client will not feel heard, and often will not be heard so the advise could be very wrong. If the counselor does not share, the client will not be getting much benefit out of the relationship, and feel like they are not getting any help with their issues. Jesus was called the great counselor, not because He walked around telling people what to do, but because He looked at the individual problems, and walked with them to the solution (Tchividjian, 2013 pg. 57). Just as the people were comfortable coming to Jesus, so should people feel comfortable coming to
There are very few and vague references to scientific data. Because it is doubtful that any Institutional Review Board would approve of steroid studies at supraphysiologic doses, good study data is limited. However, poling bodybuilders is not good science. One bodybuilder he interviewed in his book intimated that bodybuilders are less than trustworthy. The only physicians the author interviews in his book involve the topic of genetic doping.
There are strengths and weaknesses in both models. I felt both had a weakness in that they assume there is a basic assumption that is wrong in order to create a problem and did not leave room for biological factors. In Crabb’s model it all starts with a “need” that has to be filled. To me, this is a weakness because it does not allow for medical disorders. In making sure that the secular psychology principles align with biblical thinking the biological issues seem to be forgotten.
Although the parents of the poor Kara Neumann believed in a religion in which did not believe in hospitals or any healing other than through faith, I still believe that a child’s health is more important than religion. There was even a quote stating, “Jesus never send anyone to a doctor or a hospital…” reading this quote actually kind of hurts me. People who think that Jesus could have or still does tell people to do things I personally believe they are very closed minded. Many people like that believe that their religion is true and all others are fake, but who are they to tell other people that they are wrong in what they believe. Believing that Jesus could “talk” to someone and tell them to go to the hospital is ridiculous because he is unable to actually contact
If you are not technologically savvy and do not know how to use the program, then it defeats the purpose of trying to help the patient and can lead to errors in judgment and advice, as well as distrust of the patient. Also, because of the limited amount of memory space, it is important for the nurse to know what information is the most important to put in the chart, and when old records can be erased (for example, labs that are always repeated, you only need 2-3 sets to show the
