Explain why you support the position that effective Christian counseling (such that promotes meaningful change in the counselee) must support a "curative theology" and biblical sanctification. The world we live in has so much chaos. People are searching for answers everywhere to help deal with the problems that they face. Some of the problems that people are facing include, but are not limited to, domestic violence, fatherless homes, marriage trouble (divorce), as well as sexual abuse/assault (Clinton, T., Ohlschlager, G., & Hart, A., 2005). These problems not only affect the non-believer, but also the Christian.
(Pg 30;33). Bill Fay stated the Christian believer must go out and share their faith with the non-believer through the use of the scriptures of the bible.

Interviews of retired employees to study the effects of capital punishment were taken and analysed qualitatively. Political and religious orientations, perceptions in racism were key variables to study the changes in time; Prison services were also closely studied. The main topic of this study was to see how capital punishment dehumanises both the prison inmates and staff. Well established theories provided an analysis that culture is a very strong factor in making people agree or disagree with the use of capital punishment, regardless of their own beliefs. Findings concluded that those who held pro-death penalty positions were raised in religious traditions that taught capital punishment consistent with the Bible, while those who were anti-death penalty were raised in such traditions which did not support this notion.
Maurice Orlando Anderson Reflection Paper 2 THEO 104 38B JULY 2, 2013 Introduction: As I sit back and think about what topics to write about I realize while taking this course I have learned a lot of things about my Christian faith and certain principles that I would like to address. The two topics I would like to address would be Temptation, Teaching/Instruction. I will try my best to sum up these two topics to the best of my ability.

Conversion should be the beginning of a lifelong effort of study. However, in order to benefit from Bible study, we must know how to study the Bible properly. The purpose of this lesson is to present basic Bible principles and methods of proper study. We will consider proper attitudes in study, Bible inspiration, a comparison of the old and new laws, and the danger of following human laws and authority instead of Scripture. Finally, we will give some suggestions about proper use of such helps as translations, concordance, and cross-references.
Below I will reflect on my encounter with the two disciplines, real life experiences and finally my class knowledge in introduction to Psychology. Christians and Psychologist have always been in war with each other. Christianity being a religious teaching based on the person and the teaching of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Psychology on the other hand is a science that seeks to study the mind, behavior and mental process of the human being. This has always been the problem! How do you study my mind and you are also a created being?
