I agree in that it is certainly a choice and that the person will certainly be held responsible.
That's why I listed above the 'works of the flesh.'
If we're not responsible, if it's not a choice, one can't be held responsible, but in the sight of the judge of all the earth we WILL be held responsible and suffer the horrible eternal consequences.
So many call addictions (dependence, habit, whatever you choose to call it) a 'disease' and it relinquishes their responsibility for the crime and the consequences, that's a cop-out.
I'm sure we agree on most of these things, maybe we get lost in the semantics.
I know many recovered alcoholics. When you suffer withdrawal from any substance by abstinence, to me that's an addiction. The brain needs the substance.
I don't know what else to call it, but I'm comfortable with my thinking on the topic.
...to me that's an addiction.
Doesn't matter what you think or want to be. That isn't an addiction.
The brain needs the substance.
As is normal when you force the brain to 'need' it.
I'm sure we agree on most of these things, maybe we get lost in the semantics.
I would agree except immediately following that you bring it back up. You're wrong, I've sourced this. Alcoholism isn't an addiction.
What else isn't an 'addiction' to you?
The exact same things that aren't addictions to you. You don't have dominion over English and get to redefine words to your liking because you choose to remain uneducated and ignore information handed to you. You know who does that? jews do that.
