Can I be a little bit with the “world” and a little bit with Christ?

Can I be a little bit with the “world” and a little bit with Christ?

I am sorry my spiritual child but this cannot be done. You have to be either with the “world” or with Christ. Our Christ – be careful – is very clear on this. You may say that he is too austere. But it is not austerity, it is the truth.

This is what our Christ says. I want you to love Me with all your heart and with all your soul. It doesn’t say I want you to love Me by a certain percentage. You see, our Christ is actually very clear.
