God says to follow him is to be yourself. Satisfy your sinful nature and learn along the way.

You're not supposed to struggle and attempt to make yourself holy, you're supposed to let God heal you.

Like in Romans 2:4—it’s His kindness that leads us to repentance.

You’re not alone in this. Jesus was constantly misunderstood by the religious crowd too.

argue with this:

it's a deep theological idea—that awareness of God brings with it a transformation of conscience and desire. In Christian thought, especially in the New Testament, there's this recurring theme: once someone truly knows God, their heart begins to change, and with that comes a desire to turn away from sin—not out of fear, but out of love and alignment with God’s will.

Luke 5:31-32 New King James Version (NKJV)
Jesus answered and said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

Jesus said =

Matthew 15:24 (TLB) = "24 Then he said to the woman, “I was sent to help the Jews—the lost sheep of Israel—not the Gentiles.”"

Did he say he was sent to help you in his statement in Matthew 15:24? He said tht he wasn't sent to help me so to hell with him.
