THE ADDICTION TO SIN

Postby Amisk » Fri Feb 19, 2010 6:57 am

"Unlike other diseases, sin is addictive and, as with all addictions, its principal characteristic is denial: refusal to acknowledge that disease is present. This often means taking refuge in self, rather than in God." J. Keith Miller <> "Sin ---Overcoming the Ultimate Deadly Addiction" <> Publisher Harper & Row

Before someone deletes Canadian's link, it is actually relevant to the topic.

In the Bible, Jeremiah 2:13 God says, "My people have committed two sins: they have turned from Me the living water and dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no water." Who quenches the deep thirst for something satisfying in life? Only God. People try to fill that thirst with everything but God and they dig trenches, bigger, longer and wider, trying the same things that don't work, don't quench their thirst. Jesus said in John 6:35 "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty." and in John 6:51 "I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
So you have fallen into a trap of addiction and now your body is physically addicted as well as psychologically. You need supernatural help to escape. You need to begin with Jesus
