“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?
Most people who have recovered could, if they so choose, write books about a ton of other things besides their own recovery.
According to Jesus Christ, there is but One God, and One Way. He arose from the dead to prove His assessment. I’ll stick with him and the 30 years of clean living He has given me. I stick with “the peace that passes all understanding,” which I have experienced in an increasing capacity for 20 years now. I’ll choose to believe the One who arose from the dead over all the false gods of the world. AA is a fraud and promoter of the great lie that leads men to eternal destruction, of which you have falled prey.
Opinions will mean nothing when a man stands before his Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ. On that day, you’ll not be interested in anybody’s opinion, not even your own. Truth will prevail.
