Bible Note: The following statement is irrefutable: "All known addicts tried their drug once." This does not imply that every person who tries or casually uses a drug will become addicted, but it is well established that the risk of addiction associated with illict drugs is great and the cost of addiction are high. The Lord instructs us to pray "lead us not into temptation". Risking addiction by the use of a powerful drug is to enter into temptation. Addiction is bondage or servitude to a substance and is to me a form of idolatry. As Christians, we are to serve only God. Addicts serve their addictions. The only true cure for addiction is surrender to God, dying to the addiction and rebirth as a non-user. If the next question is, "what if a person is not an addict?", it's probably just a matter of time until the meaning of "addict" becomes clear. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt. |
