Freudian psychiatry has also impacted the way we think about God and the
Bible. In his analysis, Freud seemed to eliminate God, saying that He was created by us. He also said that we don't need to answer to a higher power in our lives. If we go by this rule, we are basically setting our goals to society's standards; we are going to be accepting what society thinks is right and wrong, not what God thinks of as right and wrong. You are simply going by matter of opinion and not what is truly correct.
Freudian psychiatry challenges biblical teaching by saying that we do not need
God to answer to or to even have in our lives. Freud is essentially saying we don't need a God to 'survive' in society's eyes; everything can be explained either materially or scientifically. In a way, having no God in our lives is an excuse to not pay any mind to God's teachings. If this is true, can we commit crimes and not have to worry about the consequences? It seems that according to Freud, we will only have the trouble of answering to society; we shouldn't even have to worry about the shame of telling God. But as Christians, we should filter other theories through the Bible to confirm its solidity in God and His teachings.
