Is It Possible To Love Yourself, Can I Love Myself by lightblazingnow(m): 8:42am On Apr 10, 2021
The flesh, the human flesh, including the animals, they love no one, because it's so impossible.

In the flesh is foolishness, and where foolishness abounds, death reigns, hatred triggers all the causes of death, it makes the process faster.

The reason there will continually be problems around is because the flesh has been corrupted by sin and evil, the flesh didn't know enough to care and tend for self, completely impossible.

The flesh is just a house for being and spirits to inhabit, put your flesh in his place

GOD ALMIGHTY is love and HE - HIS OWN SON CHRIST JESUS WHO BECAME FLESH AND BLOOD TO OVERCOME THE WORLD, DESTROY THE SATAN AND CRUCIFY THE FLESH loves AND abides in HIM - GOD ALMIGHTY.

How can you love then?

PRAY AND BELIEVE that GOD'S LOVE will move in your blood RIGHT NOW and HIS BLOOD will be your blood and HIS FLESH your flesh then LIFE will enter you and you will begin to LOVE and be LOVED by GOD ALMIGHTY in CHRIST JESUS by the HOLY GHOST.

This is the mystery which was hidden FROM BRAINS and MINDS OF MAN IN AGES PASSED AND IN GENERATIONS GONE.

But has been made known to us HIS chosen vessels, ministers of the new agreement in HIS OWN BLOOD. HALLELUJAH

You can pray to experience His love in your life, but it's only when you're filled with His love for you before you can love(either yourself or others). We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19

HE FIRST LOVED US MEANS HE SHARED HIMSELF WITH US - HIS FLESH AND BLOOD. UNTIL you drink his blood and eat his flesh you have no life in your heart, there is life in the blood, if the life in your blood isn't pure, there is no way you can love.

Jesus said something like that in John. He was talking about Holy Communion and that was confirmed when He gave His disciples bread and wine. You literally have to partake of His flesh and blood, and not pray to have His flesh and blood

Regardless of what you think of your flesh, know that you cannot do that which God commanded of you if you do not first learn to love yourself. undecided

God commands that you love others AS YOU LOVE YOUR OWN SELF - Do onto Others as you will like for them to do to you. That demand that you learn to love your own self in a way that you are able to love others just the same and even more(your enemies). undecided

Drinking His blood and eating His flesh gives you eternal life -Salvation from the condemnation of Sin(Death) but that does not help you love yourself if you are not willing to open up to do so. undecided

The flesh and blood of the LORD CHRIST JESUS is the church, the spiritual church.

When Jesus Christ gave the communion, that fellowship with his friends, it was only a replica of what was happening in the realm of the Spirit.

John 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

6:32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

6:33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 6:34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

6:41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.


6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?

6:48 I am that bread of life.

6:49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 6:50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

6:57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 6:58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

6:59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

6:60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

Listen carefully, to know the scriptures you need to be able to see the end from the beginning, brother, I call you brother Because you profess CHRIST but, it's in doctrine and good faith you need to add to faith - profession.

GOD ALMIGHTY in CHRIST JESUS by the HOLY GHOST gave the Jews laws, he knew they couldn't obey, but they said all that the Lord God Almighty has commanded us,we will do, they couldn't but accepted that they are more than able to do.


John 7:19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

Why did the law came?

Romans 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

How could you possibly love yourself when you are dead in sins and trespasses of landmarks, the royal law of love......


Ephesians 2:1 And you hath HE - GOD ALMIGHTY quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;


2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:


2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.


How could you possibly love yourself when we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh like your own flesh wouldn't accept correction and the spirit of errors tormenting you everyday in ignorance

Jesus Christ did not call you to deciphering scripture or the doctrines of men. He called you to do one thing one thing and one thing only.. and that is to accept(trust) and obey His teachings/commandments for He is the New Covenant Law of the Kingdom of God. undecided

According to the teachings of Jesus Christ, you are commanded to "Love your neighbor as you love your own self". That there is a pivotal commandment and in there you are given the clue as to how to show love to your neighbor... you have to show love to your neighbor in the same way you show love to your own self. undecided

How can one who does not love his own self love another? It is impossible for that wouldn't be the kind of love God demands you show your neighbor here in His command but instead a twisted unacceptable love that He, God, did not command. undecided

Obedience is the only way to please and honor God and even when you lack understanding - do not lean on your own understanding- just choose to trust God and obey Him. undecided

You are actually ignorant of what the Law is, you are very ignorant.




Romans 7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?


7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.



7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.


7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.


You are dead to the Law because when Jesus Christ died you died also to the Law.


Galatians 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.



You know nothing, the law isn't of faith.

The Law came by Moses, how could CHRIST JESUS my love possibly become Law when HE BROUGHT....


John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Jeremiah 31 vs 31-34 (ERV)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
31. “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32. not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord.
33. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
God said of His New Covenant, that He will install His Spirit inside of His own and cause them to obey His comamndments

Ezekiel 36 vs 24-30 (ESV)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
24. “I will take you out of those nations, gather you together, and bring you back to your own land.
25. Then I will sprinkle pure water on you and make you pure. I will wash away all your filth, the filth from those nasty idols, and I will make you pure.
26. I will also put a new spirit in you to change your way of thinking. I will take out the heart of stone from your body and give you a tender, human heart.
27. I will put my Spirit inside you[c] and change you so that you will obey my laws. You will carefully obey my commands.
28. Then you will live in the land that I gave to your ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
29. Also, I will save you and keep you from becoming unclean. I will command the grain to grow. I will not bring a famine against you.
30. I will give you large crops of fruit from your trees and the harvest from your fields so that you will never again feel the shame of being hungry in a foreign country.
31. You will remember the bad things you did. You will remember that those things were not good. Then you will hate yourselves because of your sins and the terrible things you did.”
I am afraid it is instead that you do not know who Jesus Christ truly is, and that He is God's New Covenant Law sent for you to submit to and obey.

There are at least 7 Covenants/Laws defined in the entired Bible, of which the Old Covenant Law of Moses, Law in the land of Canaan, is just one of them. Jesus Christ, the New Covenant Law of the Kingdom of God, is another of God's Laws. undecided

Here's a bit of something else you don't know. If you understood anything of Laws, you would have known that the Old Covenant Law of Moses never applied to you and your kind(gentiles) to begin with since it is made clear in scripture that God Himself excluded the rest of the world from that Covenant.

Deuteronomy 30 vs 15-20 (ERV)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15. “Today I have given you a choice between life and death, success and disaster.
16. I command you today to love the Lord your God. I command you to follow him and to obey his commands, laws, and rules. Then you will live, and your nation will grow larger. And the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to take for your own.
17. But if you turn away from your God and refuse to listen, if you are led away to worship and serve other gods,
18. you will be destroyed. I am warning you today, if you turn away from God, you will not live long in that land across the Jordan River that you are ready to enter and take for your own.
19. “Today I am giving you a choice of two ways. And I ask heaven and earth to be witnesses of your choice. You can choose life or death. The first choice will bring a blessing. The other choice will bring a curse. So choose life! Then you and your children will live.
20. You must love the Lord your God and obey him. Never leave him, because he is your life. And he will give you a long life in the land that he, the Lord, promised to give to your ancestors—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
God made that Covenant only with the Children of Israel(and the foreigners who live among them) in the land of Canaan. So it is meaningless for you to harp, day and night, about a covenant, that never applied to you or your ancestors, claiming you are dead in some way to it when you were never born alive to it in the first place. undecided

Stop deceiving yourself with the meaningless and wake up to the reality of who God said Jesus Christ is to you. He is the New Covenant Law that God sent to you and until you submit to Him and His teachings... you will continue to stand against the Truth of God. undecided

Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.

2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

2:13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:



2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one anotherwink

2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;


2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

2:17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

I am sorry, I don't see the relevance of this passage to the conversation thus far. Does anything expressed by Paul here change what God declared of His New Covenant, Jesus Christ, or something? undecided

You say I know nothing yet you have not shown that you even understand the meaning in any of the passages you continue posting. Are you certain I am the one who knows nothing here? undecided
Again, you quote a passage irrelevant to your line of arguing as far as this conversation and topic but continue to insist that I am the one who knows nothing? undecided

You keep mentioning something about times and seasons but you don't even seem to know what it applies to as far as what Jesus Christ said of such so why do you continue? Please take time to in fact process your post to see how disconnected this has been to this conversation. undecided



You know nothing, anything law isn't of Faith.

Faith is grace and truth. It's not a law and can never, if it's of the law then the promise is made null and void.

Galatians 3:18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

3:20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

3:21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.


3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Sin is disobedience of the Law in our case, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the Law that defines sin for us where the Kingdom of God is concerned. So, when you lust in your heart, what you do, as one who claims to believe in Jesus Christ is your sin against the Law, Jesus Christ, and against God. undecided

Where it concerns the Law of God, I am afraid you are so off base that I couldn't reel you in if I tried. undecided

Now Faith refers, however, to the obedience to the commandments of the Law, trusting in the Truth of Jesus Christ. When you chose to accept(trust) and obey the commandments in the law, that action or choice is your faith in God and so in a way faith is the opposite of sin where the Law is concerned. The more you trust and obey the teachings/commandments of Jesus Christ, the Law, the more you increase your faith.undecided

Grace, on the other hand, is the sum total of resources God has made available to help lead you back to Him and to the accomplishing of His Will in your life... In the New Covenant, grace is another word for "eternal life" and that eternal life is what you are given in place of Death when you first believe(obey the command to believe in Jesus Christ in order to be saved). undecided

Like I have maintained that you know nothing about mystery grace and reality. You are an outsider.


FAITH is a person, His NAME IS CHRIST - THE ANOINTED AND THE ANOINTING


Galatians 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ



When you understand this mystery this dark heart will be enlightened.

How can you know? Admit you are ignorant and then you learn of HIM - CHRIST JESUS - FAITH AND TRUTH.


STOP USING YOUR NATURAL UNDERSTANDING TO READ THE HOLY BIBLE. YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GRASP

First you claimed it was the Law that I knew nothing. So now you claim instead that I know nothing of mystery of grace and reality? undecided
The only mystery there is is the one you continue to scam your way into creating there for yourself. God made His Truth known to all those who will submit to Him in obedience. undecided

Faith is Jesus Christ? Did Jesus Christ tell you this or did you conjure that one up thinking it could sound cool if you said it? Learn to invest time trying to comprehend what you read please. That verse there tells you that person is not the person but is instead to be had in the person. Declaring that Jesus Christ is faith is akin to suggesting Jesus Christ can be as small as a mustard seed. undecided

What dark heart? What mystery did you store up in it? undecided

Jesus Christ told you who He is.. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life... He is not faith that "grows" over periods and effort in you. undecided

You want me to stop using my natural understanding to process the Bible yet even in my natural reasoning, it is clear that you don't even have understanding of any kind of that which you continue to ramble on about. undecided

Jesus Christ said that you should use the understanding you have- to those who have, more will be give. And to those who do not have- that which they have will be taken away from them. undecided

I use the understanding I have, cause that is what Jesus Christ commands, and I gain more for it since I don't create lies by such. You on the other hand create in your mind mysteries by which you further deceive yourself. Pray tell! Are you certain that I do wrong by accepting and working with Truth as is, instead of seeking out dubious ways to convolute it - turn it into lies? undecided

Start with this, to learn the mystery of Christ Jesus and of the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.....


Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.....go to HIM NOW. GO TO CHRIST JESUS SO THAT HE WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE YOU SHOULD LIVE.

YOU ARE CONFUSING YOURSELF.

FACT:

1. YOU COULDN'T LOVE YOURSELF BEFORE THE RESURRECTION. All were sinners

2. THE LAW ISN'T OF FAITH.

3 FAITH IS NOT OBEDIENCE. The Lord HOLY GHOST

4. YOU ARE NOT BORN AGAIN, YOU ARE STILL IN YOUR SENSES

5. THE god of this world, SATAN has blinded your mind.

6. Cry out for help

7. Then the HOLY GHOST will open your eye to see the hidden mysteries in CHRIST JESUS by the HOLY GHOST.

Add this up

If you think this kind of aromatic hydrocarbons attitude of yours will lead you to love, you have already failed. How could you possibly condemn the righteous and turn around to preach God Almighty.

You castigate pastors, Christians and church leaders, what spirit is in you telling you to do such, it's certainly not the same SPIRIT who ANOINTED these glorious men and women of our faith, hope and love of God Almighty who first so LOVED US THAT HE GAVE US EYES TO SEE AND FEET TO ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT, THE TRUE LOVE.

If you happen to be at any level of attainment as specified in the HOLY SCRIPTURES, you should walk in love until we all come to the unity of faith. That's what the scriptures said, let this SPIRIT be in you which was in CHRIST JESUS who being in the form, calibre, status of God mighty, but HE never considered robbery, as in stealing the kingdom from his father, but became obedient to the instructions and died a criminal's death.


Your Law seemed to be only yours and your area, I believe you will have some few guys in your area you are teaching these babblings and confusions

If I don't find any of your comments reasonable I won't reply your messages again.

Thanks

LOVE is God's number one predominant attribute! 1John 4:8

You can't truly LOVE yourself without God. WHY?
Because man's IQ is low {Jeremiah 10:23} even when he wants to protect himself man will run into danger! Proverbs 29:25
The first thing that shows you love yourself is when you're able to get the benefits of living not just doing things the conventional way! 1John 2:15-17
So the first step is to search for God with all your heart by thoroughly meditating on the origin of life, What brought you here? What is the purpose of life? Who is the cause of life? Is there anyway you can get close to Him?

The answers to all these questions will lead you to knowing secrets about where we find ourselves (earth) and how to live successfully in it! Proverbs 2:1-5 smiley

Great mind, add to your faith....

2 Peter 1:5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 1:6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 1:7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 1:8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.




1:9 But he ( like kobojunkiee) that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
