→Fasting can be addictive
==Fasting can be addictive==
==Fasting can be addictive==
Early in the article, we see that over-eating can be addictive. Should the article point out that fasting can also be addictive, as is the case in [[anorexia nervosa]]?[[User:Carltonio|Carltonio]] ([[User talk:Carltonio|talk]]) 16:53, 15 September 2019 (EDT)

==Scriptural teaching==
The Bible teaches that addiction is the result of sin, and specifically the sin of idolatry or replacing God with something else. Idolatry is also a lack of, or loss of, faith, or a failure to believe what God says. Either way, Idolatry and lack of faith results in addiction.
Salvation is the only deliverance from addiction, it should not be poo-poo'ed as "religion can also help". There is one cause for addiction - sin. There is one cure for addiction - salvation. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Trump 2Q2Q]]</sup> 23:13, 5 July 2020 (EDT)
