If you start with discussion (established commands, rules, facts, and truth) and stay in discussion, you will end up with discussion, concerned about being or doing right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth, i.e., doing the father's/Father's will. If you start with dialogue ("feelings") and stay with dialogue, you will end up with dialogue, concerned with enjoying the carnal pleasures of the 'moment" (dopamine emancipation), which the world stimulates, hating the father's/Father's restraints (authority). If you start with discussion but 'change' to dialogue, staying in dialogue, you will end up with dialogue, concerned about enjoying the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' (dopamine emancipation), which the world stimulates, hating the father's/Father's restraints (authority). If you start with dialogue but change to discussion, staying in discussion, you will end up with discussion, concerned about being or doing right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth, i.e., doing the father's/Father's will.

If you start with the Word and stay in the Word, you will end up with the Word, inheriting eternal life. If you start with the flesh and stay in the flesh, you with end up with the flesh, inheriting eternal dead. If you start with the Word but 'change' to the flesh, staying in the flesh, you will end up with the flesh, inheriting eternal death. If you start with the flesh but change to the Word, staying in the Word, you will end up with the Word, inheriting eternal life.

"Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?" Romans 6:16

"No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." Luke 16:13

"And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved." Matthew 10:22
