First, Jung, a son of a minister and a long line of ministers in his family sought to understand religion(s) better.

So what?

He was involved with the demonic and trying to hold up God's word to be validated by demonic and human reasoning is ridiculous.

It's kind of staggering that people who call themselves Christian use men as their objective truth to interpret and analyze the word of God by as if science and human reasoning is infallible and Truth and God's word isn't.

It really doesn't matter if Jung got *some things right*>

The fact that he was dead wrong on many others is enough to not trust the things some people feel he got correct.

Consider the following excerpts from Rev. Dr. Ed Hird's report, "Carl Jung, Neo-Gnosticism, and the MBTI detailing Jung's contact with anima and animus

Two of Jung’s ‘most influential archetypes’ are the anima & animus, described by Jung as “psychological bisexuality”.[81] Jung teaches in PT that every man has a female soul (anima) and every woman has a male soul (animus).[82] Noll comments that “Jung’s first encounter with the feminine entity he later called the anima seems to have begun with his use of mediumistic techniques…”[83] Based on the recently discovered personal diary of Sabina Spielrein, John Kerr claims that Jung’s so-called anima “the woman within” which he spoke to, was none other than his idealized image of his former mistress, patient, and fellow therapist, Sabina Spielrein.[84] After breaking with both Spielrein and Freud, Jung felt his own soul vanish as if it had flown away to the land of the dead. Shortly after, while his children were plagued by nightmares and the house was seemingly haunted, Jung heard a chorus of spirits cry out demanding: ‘We have come back from Jerusalem where we have not found what we sought.’[85]

In response to these spirits, Jung wrote his Seven Sermons to the Dead. In these seven messages Jung ‘reveals’, in agreement with the 2nd century Gnostic writer Basilides, the True and Ultimate God as Abraxas, who combines Jesus and Satan, good and evil all in one.[86] This is why Jung held that “Light is followed by shadow, the other side of the Creator.”[87] Dr. Noll, a clinical psychologist and post-doctoral fellow at Harvard University, holds that “Jung was waging war against Christianity and its distant, absolute, unreachable God and was training his disciples to listen to the voice of the dead and to become gods themselves.”[88]

When Christians defend and praise Jung they defend and praise his spirit guides as well.

The same could be said of your opinions and statements, but yet I do not arbitrarily discount everything you say. I listen and sort them out.

Arbitrarily demonizing someone is a sign of emotional thought processing which is very dangerous. I tend to listen to such statements with extra discernment.

What about the “Holy Spirit?”

If you reject communication with that you have committed an unforgivable sin!

Noooo... cannot communicate with spirits. 🤣
