Psychologist Albert Ellis has advocated “Rational Therapy” which implies that our philosophy contains limiting beliefs and behaviors that cause emotional suffering.

As a pastor who has practiced counseling for many years, I have seen the damage that these culturally generated “false beliefs” or church doctrines can inflict in the body of Christ. A false belief is believing in a lie. Putting your faith in a lie always leads to deception, which in turn leads to anger or depression.
