The Most High is Love itself which is life. Those who do not forgive or that are full of resentment are cut off from the spirit of Truth. Then the pure motive of the heart is corrupted and the motive changes within. The word motive etymologically means to move which creates a 3D or a mechanical response. And though one may be white as snow on the outside, doesn't mean that what's inside the cup is fit to drink my friend. Agape to you !

[@davidmaligo5647]

@@israelelohim4469 Are you referring to the hypocrites? I think Jesus Christ talked about certain people who were religious but did evil things. He called them hypocrites.

[@israelelohim4469]

@@davidmaligo5647 if you go to 1st Corinthians chapter 13 and look up the word love in Greek Strong's concordance, you will find out it is a specific type of love which is agape love. And it is written, without that love one is nothing. The etymology of the word religion means to bind. There is nothing one can do on their outside to change their inside condition of a deceitfully wicked heart. The five virgins who were lacking oil, when you go to that word oil in the Greek strongs concordance, it means empowered Holy Spirit. That is why I just written they speak of me with their mouths but their hearts are far from me. The reason is it's because men's hearts are not full of the Holy Spirit which is divine love for God and man...... It is full of conditional love which is of the adversary / accuser. As you probably know with yourself and other surround you, you cannot perfect the flesh..... It is the sin (lower nature) one is Born into. Nothing but love and peace to you my friend. If people were not capable of achieving agape love, yeshua would have never told the people to love one another as he has loved them. When you look up the word love there, you will also find the word agape. 🙃

I feel I am different from whom I was. I feel I am trapped in a horrible patterns of thinking. I don't feel sensitive and contemplative of life anymor. I feel socially anxious, awkward when talking to others, easily discouraged and I feel like the devil is mocking me. I feel destroyed inside. Like blunt and abused. I have fallen innumerable times into the pit of homosexual sin. I feel unknown even to myself. I cannot recall my childhood as I used to and I cannot relate to the things that used to be meaningful to me anymore. I know I have affected my family. I should've been a good brother to my little sisters, but I was an absolute disappointment. Now I know I have affected my house. I have given many worries to my mother, to my father, even to my sisters. I feel I am destroyed. Impossible to be rebuilt and restored. I feel far from myself. From who I used to be: the happy child with the happy childhood is gone. Now, I don't even know myself. I have abandoned since a week ago my sinful life... And that is a lot to say. But sometimes a discouragement comes and tells me no matter how hard I try to repent, I'll be forever destroyed and I won't be able to be restored and, even worse... I'll never be forgiven. I feel I have hijacked all of my own capacities, dreams, talents and blessings. I have done all this for the pure love of nothing: for the pure love of passion, sin and corruption. Please. I beg your help.
