LOVE is the Real Thing!!
Love was designed by GOD for relationships between himself and
his angels & humans, and between each other. You cannot "love"
yourself...that is why masturbation, with all its fantasies, is
sin...it is self-centered (which is the fallen sin condition
that Eve & Adam caused)! When we are saved by the Holy Spirit,
we become others-centered like GOD is, and He begins to
re-create us from the inside out (unlike "religion" which tries
to change people from the outside in...the core is still
spiritually dead and is just a fake "veneer"). People use the
soulish "masturbation" excuse that they have to "love themselves
first before they can love others"....
