And herein is found the lie of secular programs. "there is no cure for addiction." You have just defined God as not being Almighty. You have just proclaimed that Jesus Christ, the One who raised people from the dead, healed lepers, opened blinded eyes, deaf earsm and delivered men from demonic possession is incapable of healing a man of addiction. This is where you are wrong; and even guilty of calling God a liar. That's a heady position, and it's the position of AA as well. Well, nothing is too difficult for my God, and He is more than able to heal the addicted. This lie that says God cannot heal an addict is a lie from the "father of lies;" Satan, and therefore is a demonic lie. Man may not be able to cure an addict, but Almight God is more than able, and He does. He did for me, and has done so for multitudes of others.
“this is where you are wrong and even guilty of calling God a liar”.
Well, evan, I was trying to be respectful to you. But the deals’ off when you have the nerve to say such a thing to me or anyone else.
So here goes my real opinion:
You are a fraud and a charlatan. You hide behind your supposed faith in God and Jesus as a means of avoiding the truth about yourself.
You didn’t succeed in the traditional well tested AA program because you didn’t want to. In fact, you wanted to use and drink and so that’s why you continued to fail.
The God of my understanding is a loving God who is not prone to be insulted by those who are trying their best to navigate through the complicated world of recovery.
Any method that is successful for the addict and helps them to find serenity and peace in sobriety is a worthwhile endeavor.
Yours is one way. Their are many other paths.. and I feel confident that the God of my understanding embraces all well intentioned efforts.
And why did you feel the need to advertise and try to sell your book on FR?
Dude. Not cool.
