Love, the wrong kind, is the cause of all the ills in the world and it comes from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Co-dependency aka false love is the love of the world.  It seeks to control and manipulate. ; Note how all sin is now called "a sickness" and how politically correct imprinting is now considered part of culture.  On the news they referred to this homosexual as gay American and claimed that he was born that way.
With God and His love, it is just the opposite.  The more we sin and the more corrupt we are, the more of an effort He puts into loving us and blessing us.  It is the goodness of God that leads to repentance and not the rejection of God.

 The First International Christian Polygamist (FICP): 180. Unconditional Love, Unconditional Submission   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
When our loving or submitting takes place outside of Divine Law what results is cultism, whether it be the sexual lawlessness of the hippies or the doctrinal perversions of the Moonies, Branch Davidians, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, or anything else that is not 100% faithful to the Word of Yahweh, the Bible.
