Man was created to see things from God's perspective. God-like thinking was necessary for the dominion management Creator God gave to man. People do what they do because they believe what they believe. In Belief Therapy we call the process The Source of Destructive Consequent Behavior.
Beliefs are the primary source of our attitudes, reactions, feelings, and behavior or actions.
Jesus established the Belief Therapy process in the book of Matthew, chapters five through seven. A lie is a s strong as the truth if you believe it. Children have learned enough lies by the time they are six years old to cause them problems for the rest of their lives. People are made free from the bondage when the lies are identified and replaced with the truth. Man is a sinner by nature, by choice, and by practice.
