Alcoholics Anonymous Robs People

God did not make us to be defined by our sins.

He wants us to be free from the status of sin, as well.

He did not want us to live in the dead actions of our sinful nature.

He wants every one of us to reign in life!

"For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ." (Romans 5: 17)

In fact, when we see who we are in Christ Jesus, we no longer identify with our sins, nor do we get bogged down when we find ourselves still feeling fear, anger, or resentment.

Alcoholics Anonymous instills in men and women an essential sense of shame and reproach:

"I am man alcoholic."

No!

We are either dead in Adam, or we are alive in Christ:

"Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come." (Romans 5: 14)

then

"But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many." (Romans 5: 15)

AA indoctrinates people to be poor and dependent, forever forced to lead one's life in line with failed programs and procedures in AA meetings.

Paul exposes these teachings of men:

"18Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God." (Colossians 2: 18-19)

If anyone had a fleshly mind, that would be Bill W. the "Founder" of Alcoholics Anonymous, who wanted to make himself a modern-day Christ-figure, a charlatan who invited an evil cult based on Biblical distortions and lies to bring suffering men and women into bondage rather than setting them free through the truth of God's Word.

While AA robs people of taking in God's blood-bought blessings for us, the moment that we look to Christ and esteem that HE (not us) did everything for us, then we will walk in the Spirit, feed on His faithfulness, and reign in life.
