Rejecting the cultural Christianity I grew up with to embrace and enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ. A place to come and share thoughts about almost anything. Especially things of the Lord. Please no Anonymous posts, I enjoy knowing who is writing to me.

No One Hates Themselves, Its a Lie of the Devil
If you really hated yourself because of the way you look or your perceived lack of talent, then you would be glad you were ugly and had no talent.
Everyone is born loving themselves more than they should. Believing they deserve more than they have is the mentality of today.
Philippians 2:3 "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem the other better than himself."
Those who do not pay much attention to themselves are those who can love others. This is the opposite of what psychology teaches. They wrongly teach us that we must love ourselves first before we can love others. This is the opposite of the teachings of Christ.
We can only love others if we deny ourselves and follow Christ. Then we are free to love others.
"One of the elements of holiness is the lack of self-awareness."

No One Hates Themselves
No one hates themselves, this is a lie from the psychological community. They believe what they say because they have been fed these lies from the devil.
Just like the devil told Eve in the garden that she could be like God, our culture it training people to love themselves more than they love anyone else or God.
Every person is born loving themselves, there is no need to help them love themselves more.
A child who says "I hate myself" is not expressing the truth, they are only expressing their pride that they are not getting what they want.
Often the phrase "I hate myself" is a manipulation for attention rather than the truth.
Ephesians 5:29 "29 Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church. "
If a person hated themselves because they thought they were ugly, they would be glad they are ugly. It is human nature to wish bad on those we hate. But the person who thinks they are ugly are unhappy about that because they believe they deserve better. They do not hate themselves as they claim or they would be happy that they were ugly.
