I don't think anyone is saying that something besides the power of God is what is going to free them.

It is STILL the power of God which is going to free them, but just lightly saying - 'oh, that's a sin, you need to stop that!' isn't going to help free them.

Is there any sin that's just a piece of cake to walk away from? That would pertain to most all sin wouldn't it.
Things get so redefined these days.
They are now calling alcoholism a disease.
Addictions... in my mind... are things that the body develops a chemical dependency on.
It seems that many view any action that is difficult to stop as an addiction. We live in a world that relabels everything in a manner that is not in keeping with the true meaning of the term. Just like earlier in this thread someone called pornograhy an abomination. We label stuff we really abhor as an abomination. Then there are no real lines anymore because we label things per the way we feel about them.
Will insurance companies eventually treat pornography addiction? I wouldn't be surprised.
Alcoholism isn't a disease and pornography isn't an addicion... at least by the true meanings of these words.
