The Folly of Offering a Spiritual Cure for Addiction

Last night at work, I spotted members of the local church holding an addiction seminar at the recreation center.

This church offers the cure of Jesus Christ for addictions.

Sadly they brought pamphlets, which would lead to pollution so I threw the four that I found in the nearest garbage can.

IMHO the cure for addiction is to be of service to other people. Even keeping the earth green is a higher calling. Yet a religious organization that is not eco-friendly is not keeping the earth that God created clean.

That these church members don't get this shows that their cure is merely a substitution of a deadly addiction with godliness and its potential to be abused.

All the paper pollution that these ex-addicts left behind show that they are the road to a spiritual addiction which will blind them to true service to their fellow mankind.

For godly people are sorely tempted to consider themselves better than a sinner who abases himself by praying meekly, "Lord, have mercy on me a sinner."

Let God's will be / دعونا الله سيكون

الله يكون كبيرا و سجن الشيطان في الجحيم من قبل المسيح.

لا يتم تضليل للذئاب في ثياب الحملان الذين يدعون الشيطان يغري لنا. فإنه ليس من عمل الشيطان لإغراء لنا، ولكن ل يلقي ظلالا من الشك على قوتنا الداخلية و عزيمة . لأنه هو بإرادة الرجل وحده أن ننكر كل إغراء ل سلامنا للعقل.

عندما يخطئ رجل ، هو فقط من قبل إرادته أن ينشأ الشر ، وليس لأن الشيطان يغري له . الأحمق فقط هو الذي يلوم كائن خارق مع قليل التأثير المادي على قراراتنا.

إذا لم تكن جيدة يحدث لنا ، ثم لماذا لعنة الله ؟ إذا الشر يضر بنا ، لماذا علاج الشيطان ؟ لا ينبغي لنا أن نحمد الله عند حسن الحظ هو نصيبنا ؟

في الواقع ، يجب علينا التبرع للمشردين عندما يواجه حسن الحظ ، وعندما يصيب الشر لنا ، للحصول على خطأ أو إغفال الأمر الذي أدى إلى مثل هذه المأساة.

وبالتالي أنا أعرف أن أي شخص يقول الشيطان بيننا و تعزيز عمل شيطاني فقط ، ومتمنيا أشخاص آخرين للخوف عليه عندما يجب أن نضحك على الشيطان.

انه هو الذي يعرف الحكمة رموز الشر الجيدة والتي لا بد لي القانون الفيزيائي . لذلك، على حد سواء الله والشيطان وبصرف النظر منا. لا لا اللهم ارزقنا حسن الحظ، لا ولا الشيطان تحيق بنا مع الوباء .

دعونا الله سيكون

God be great and Satan is imprisoned in hell by the Christ.

Do not be mislead by wolves in sheep's clothing who claim Satan tempts us. It is not the devil's work to tempt us, but to cast doubt on our inner strength and resolve. For it is by man's will alone that we deny all temptation for our peace of mind.

When a man errs, it is solely by his will that evil arises, not because Satan tempts him. Only a fool would blame a supernatural being with little physical influence over our decisions.

If good does not happen to us, then why curse God? If evil harms us, why cure the devil? Should we not praise God when good fortune is our lot?

Indeed, we ought to donate to the homeless when encountering good fortune, and when evil befalls us, seek the error or omission which led to such tragedy.

Thus I know that anyone who says Satan is among us is only promoting diabolism, and wishing other people to fear him when she should laugh at the devil.

He who is wise knows the symbols of good and evil are not bound by physical law. Therefore, both God and the devil are apart from us. Neither does God grant us good fortune, nor does Satan plague us with pestilence.

Let God's will be.
