Thanks Jason!
Just started again the Christian psychologist’s (Richard Beck) book called “The Slavery Of Death”. I never read the whole thing through before but he has some very good points in it. He takes the Eastern Orthodox interpretation of the scriptures that say the fear of death causes sin. According to Beck it’s these fears of death that lead to most of the sin in ones life. I would agree but just add that it’s not only the fear of death but the fear of the future. But death is future so I would agree. I know this from my own experiences in being set free at times from the major sins or seven deadly sins. The A.A. book called “The Twelve Steps And Twelve Traditions” also teaches that the seven deadly sins are rooted and grounded in fear. The book is fantastic so far and I can’t wait to get more into this.
