Subject: Does Mt. 22:39 assume self-love? |
Bible Note: Greetings Steve, I strongly disagree. First that she is incorrect. You must love yourself in order to love others. The key is the kind of love you have for yourself. The love you need is not one that is haughty and self centered, but a love for yourself that knows you are a good person and that you are worthy of Christ's love. Many people do not love themselves. I have been at that point myself. When you hate yourself you are definitly not thinking more of yourself than you ought!!! prayon |
