 I respectfully disagree with Kk's definition of addiction. It seems that these modern terms are merely replacing old concepts, but the underlying arguments remain unchanged. In our perspective, we adhere to the biblical order of reality, which involves understanding the cause, means, and ends of things. Today, the concept of dependence has been redefined as a cause, addiction as a means, and healing as an end. However, we firmly believe that God is the ultimate cause of all things and has ordered them for His glory. He also establishes the means through which His order is achieved. We acknowledge that a direct link to the desired ends for God's glory exists only when the cause and means are defined within this narrow understanding of God's will. Otherwise, we risk prioritizing insignificant matters over significant ones. It is important to note that conflict arises not from directly opposing ideas, but rather from ideas that are similar yet different, with a greater emphasis on specific details. We must remember this fundamental truth: knowledge is not acquired through accumulation, but through observation and comparison. Our aim is not to add something to ourselves through a process, but rather to discern and compare. This aligns with the guidance provided in the Bible, urging believers to stand against the schemes of the Devil. Our mindset as Christians is to remain steadfast in these doctrines and never waver from them. The Christian perspective does not involve acquiring knowledge through a process, but rather learning to identify and resist the world's processes by adhering to the biblical process. Therefore, whenever the term "process" is mentioned, we must understand and align with God's ways as the basis for our resistance. The concept of process simply aims to organize our actions according to certain principles, which originate from God's precise words or doctrines. Consequently, we do not view habitual dependence as distinct from regular dependence, as we cannot deviate from God's sovereignty in the cause, means, and ends. We firmly believe that there is only one prevailing worldview, and there is no equal choice between what is right and wrong.
