You cannot follow two leaders who travel in two opposite directions. If you follow YHWH and Messiah, you will by necessity distance yourself from the sinful world. If you follow after the sinful world and its ideologies, you will by necessity be distancing yourself from YHWH and from Messiah. You must deliberately choose WHICH you will follow, in which you will serve.

If we want to know what we are truly following, then we have to observe and pay attention to the way that were walking, to see if it matches the ONE that we're supposed to be following.
