Question
So, are fetishes sin? When do they become an addiction? How does one get help for this? What if I'm the only on who knows.....should I not walk away, but pray like crazy? I no longer have the same feelings for this person, but I do feel compassion.
Dawn
Hi Dawn,
Thanks for this great question. Any kind of sexuality outside of marriage is wrong. Sexual sin can be powerfully addicting. Perhaps you should keep your distance AND pray like crazy.
Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
I hope that this helps you.
In Christ
