True Actor Mentality

This is a psychological portrait of the personality that one might refer to as a true "actor" personna.  It would seem to me that one could not retain this personna if one were right with G_d, yet I cannot say one way or the other as only the L_rd knows the true heart of man.

These are many adjectives that describe this mentality in single words or phrases, as needed:

Political  Immature   Smooth  Adores the Spotlight    Adores

Power    Master of Compromise  Thinks payday for sin never will come         Wildly popular     Charismatic   Highly Intelligent       Parent often an Alcoholic  Adapts to Survive

Fiddles while the rooms burn   Distances himself from reality

Indecisive      False      Never Accepts Culpability     Fake

Egomanical   Selfish    Runs from a Show-Down       Congenial

Eternally blames others   Volatile Temper (albeit well-hidden

in public)   Always skates on thin ice    Likes Danger

Unstable as water      Empathetic     Unhappy   Unfaithful

Throws caution to the wind often    Little Foresight

Would say most anything he thinks you want to hear - anything

Staunchly refuses to face reality     Does not concern himself

with true moral implications of his actions, rather, only worries about getting caught        Suave       Debonnaire

Handsome  Can be extremely compassionate

Has the capacity for great love          Is very easily wounded verbally

Adores performing for adoring crowds - really adores it

Likeable until you really get to know him    Seeks acceptance

by others to the point will become a chameleon so they like him 

Refuses to call a sin a sin     Lives a total fantasy running from G_d           Wouldn't recognize the truth if it hit him in the face

Genuinely cares about only a handful of people, and trusts only about one person on earth who has vastly superior morals which he recognizes and values 

Fears being alone terribly because the thought of sin and repentance and turning from evil creeps in when by himself         A Survivor 

Craves acceptance and admiration desperately  Will resurrect and reinvent himself to continue to have the spotlight shine on him

True Jailhouse mentality-only comes alive when performing on life's stage - tells you anything you will believe, truth having nothign to do with it

Extravagant      Superb Salesman, but as soon as the sale is made he drops you, and goes on to another potential conquest                          Does not like himself

A Christian can deeply love one such as this because they see past the present, into what the future could be for such a one as this, whilst never condoning his moral failures, ever.  

So, I will sum up my illumining of the Actor personna with the fact that it still seems to be that this person needs Christ. We are told "You will know them by their fruit." This person produces some fruit, but a lot of it is rotten to the core. Again, G_d alone is the Judge, and G_d alone knows the heart.  Sometimes I don't think we even know our own heart.  This is a conglomeration of more than one person, and anyone might have more or less of the above attributes.
