AB - The purpose of this article is for Christian counselors to understand the significance of the authority of the Bible as an essential foundation for Christian counseling. Augustine fought the Pelagian heresy of his day by basing his trust on the inerrancy of the Bible. Calvin emphasized the atonement of the Christ revealed in the Spirit-inspired Scripture that becomes an object of our faith with its divine authority. However, liberal theology inherited the Pelagian priority of human reason over inspiration with the advent of the Renaissance and the preference of human rationality to Christian authority of the Scripture. Immanuel Kant valued human reason and morality higher than the Christian doctrines such as incarnation, crucifixion or resurrection and reduced the faith-tradition into religious moralism. Liberal theology that follows after Kant and Schleiermacher results in forsaking traditional faith values and, instead, taking only adaptable moral instructions for the day from the Bible. Queer theology, in the same vein, takes the liberal stance of the Bible by radically modifying scriptural texts only for the wellbeing of LGBTQIA people. Aware of the dangers of liberal theology, the Christian counselor must stand on the faith of the authority of the Bible and the Christ’s atonement that can even save the homosexual.
