Dear Lou,
Not quite sure what you seem to be fishin for...
as Hornet and I seem to be on the same page, so to speak.I believe the Bible is God's Word.
I belive the Bible teaches that until a man or women is born-again....they are lost, and cannot fellowship with God.
Jesus as Gods Son showed in His teachings and by example how we are to seek,find, and follow God.A christian's worldview is that ALL must come to the Lord on His terms...as given to us in the Bible. In other words...God really only "see's" 2 types of people on Earth.
Saved born-again followers of Him compromise one group....and then those who have not yet found Him as their Lord & Savior compromise the other.
I could certainly list many passages from the Bible that clearly bear out this basic fundamental christian belief.Therefore......back to the Counselor/Counselee
relationship, as Hornet said..a christian counselor would have a better understanding of how to counsel all the needs of another christian...where as a Counselor who was NOT a born-again believer in Jesus Christ, could not fully counsel a christian patient.All of this hinges upon whether or not you believe the following verses in Gods Word ( The Bible) to be true and accurrate:
Jesus said,
John14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way , the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.John 3:7
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born againJohn 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.That is why I state the difference between a "christian" counselor..and an unbelieveing counselor.
Here is a link to my Church webpage to better aquint you with Evangelical Christianity
Hope you take alook when you have the time.http://tcftalk.suddenlaunch.com/
