    Is Addiction the Sin of Idolatry, or is it a disease?

    Did you have a previous addiction and are you now clean? Because if you are saying programs work without even being in them, then you have no understanding whether or not they work. Many people i met in these programs never got clean. Just because they work you or others it doesn't mean they are...

    Is Addiction the Sin of Idolatry, or is it a disease?

    I really dont think you understand the complete lifestyle of a drug addict. It seems your just viewing a Situation you have no understanding of. I dont expect you too. Hi there the reason why we shouldn't yoke with unbelievers is because they can lead us away from God. We might think we can...

    Is Addiction the Sin of Idolatry, or is it a disease?

    Sorry I changed my mind about writing the top part of that message, not sure how it Got there. An idol is something that is worshipped. A drug is something that is worshipped. In the end it's the most important part of a persons life, like their God. A person will lose their children for this...

    Is Addiction the Sin of Idolatry, or is it a disease?

    I only smoked for 5 years thay If you saw the affects of crack like I have you would see that it affects every part of a human, smoking one crack pipe can lead to more sins than a cigarette can even though they are both idols... cigarettes have less impact on peoples behavior, than crack does...

    Is Addiction the Sin of Idolatry, or is it a disease?

    Yes your pastor told you the right thing. It is an idol and also the price has tripled over the last few years making it have more financial effects on families. It is also not looking after the temple of God.

    Looking for help with spiritual issues

    Hi I understand how bad things must be for you. Many of my family members have had an addiction to ice and other substances. The damage these things can do on a person's mind can last for a long time. Some people even develop long time psychosis. I myself have seen satan have access through my...

    Looking for help with spiritual issues

    Hi I have had attacks from satan over the years due to me dabbling in sin. One of them alcohol. The devil can attack your spirit when you open the door to sin. If you accepted Jesus and then you continued living against what he commands in the bible. You need to repent and say sorry to God...

    Why I now believe that salvation can be lost.

    Romans 5:17 New International Version (NIV) 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ! *Where does it...

    Why I now believe that salvation can be lost.

    Abiding in him- 1 John 3:24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us. John 15:10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in...

    Why I now believe that salvation can be lost.

    Guojing of course salvation is a gift. And doing works without being born again would be pointless because you cant receive salvation first without knowing Jesus first. We are saved by grace through faith, but when the spirit comes inside us we cannot continue sinning because we are born of God...

    Why I now believe that salvation can be lost.

    When we become born again the spirit actually works in us to help us live according to the will of God, but the flesh is still weak, because we are also told to watch and pray we will resist temptation, the spirit is willing and the flesh weak. If you dont want to sin again when you get the holy...

    Yes we need to Obey commands such as loving God and others including our brothers and sisters.. Galatians 2:16 Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ...

    1 John 2:3-6 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we...

    Hebrews 4 New International Version (NIV) A Sabbath-Rest for the People of God 4 Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. 2 For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but...

    Why I now believe that salvation can be lost.

    I am not justified by the works of the law. This includes keeping the sabbath day holy. No where in the new testament are we told to keep the sabbath day holy, and no where in the new testament are the (10) commandments spoken of. We are told to follow commandments but not the 10 commandments in...

    Why I now believe that salvation can be lost.

    Faith is described differently in many different scriptures. Hebrews 11:1-13:25 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God...
