Subject: Is the Formula for sin to hate anything? |
Bible Note: Steve! I used to think the ssame thing: "We naturally love ourselves too much." So I know how u must think: I am sure u will let me know if i am wrong! So u must just wish u cd love others with as much love as u love yourself, right? So when u don't like others, u must blame them for u not liking them, and say so like this: Boy, if my wife or whoever wd just be good and or right, then i cd love them like I love me! Right? So u must also have a problem identifying what sin vanity is: Is vanity self-Love or self-hate? U must think the sin of vanity is self-love! So since vanity is the sin of self-Love, and since I love me too much already, then of course, i must trying to hate me some to get that self-Love down to normal levels! Then however, it wd a sin for my neighbor to hate who it is a sin for me to love! Me! And since my neyba must also hate himself, it wd be a sin for me to hate who it is ok fro him to hate! Him! Right? So u must have lots of family problems in your church! For how can it be a sin for me to lvoe what my wife must love? Me! And how cd it be a sin for her to lvoe who it wd be a sin for me to hate? Her! Plus of course, if self-Love is a sin, then that sin of self-Love must be in opposition to the Law of love for my neighbor as I love myself! Steve, do u see? It is because we assumed that we loved each other TOO much that we cd NOT figure out WHY then we cd not love our neybas as we loved ourselves, why we cd not love our neybas to the extent we thot we loved ourselves! Since Love is God's greatest law, only God cd teach us HOW to love in the first palce! So our assumption that we loved ourselves too much on the preseumption that we had been properly already taught to lvoe ourselves by our parents was the WRONG assumption! For we had not yet had God teach us how to love ourselves! John 6:45: God will teach us! 1 John 4:19: We love God only becaue he first loved us! So the real truth is: if u love u too much, u must be able to lvoe me too much! But U can't give away what u don't have! So the reason why u find it so hard to give love to me MUST mean u have too little for yourself! Ah! So if at the same time u think u love u too much, u also don't like me as much as u love u, then which is it? Then it MUST mean that u also HATE YOURSELF! Ah! And if u are sure u lvoe u, then u must also love ME to the SAME extent! See? Ah! So which is it? It is both! To the extent to love U MUST be a little since u hate me so much! So? So to the extent of the lot of hate u hate me with, U must be also hating U! And to the little extent u love me with, u MUST also be also lving u a little! Ah! Now, i am thinking clearly! The reason I have such a hard time loving my neighbors is because i Love me little! And to the extent i find it so easy to hate my neighbors is becaue i hate me a lot! Ah! Now this makes sense! God never taught me how to lvoe me, so no wonder i love/d me too little and so cdn't/can't love my neigbor all that much! Ah! Plus if i loved me too much, why wd i need God's Love? Ah! It is because I lvoe me too litttle that I need God's agape love! Plus since Love is keepings God's laws, 1 john 5:3 and since sin is the trasnsgression of the Law, 1 john 3:4, then vanity MUST be self-hate, not self-love! Ah! makes perfect sense! Sigh Steve, hope that helps u, man! I mean it! T b continued. Loving u all the way as myself by loving myself all the way as u, giam |
