You won't keep my commandments. That's the reason you don't keep my
commandments. Any commandment that you have heard in this church from
the Bible or that you've read in the Bible yourself, which you don't
take seriously to keep it.

Today, you heard the reason. All your talk about loving Jesus Christ is
absolute nonsense. It's bogus.

It's a lie. Don't ever say that again, that you love Jesus. Speak the
truth and say, I do not love Jesus Christ.

That's why, not that's why I fall into anger or fall into lust. That's
why I don't take those things seriously and fight against it. It may
take you one year, 10 years to overcome it, but if you're fighting it
every day, it shows that you love Jesus Christ.
