This list is called Truth Talk Lance. It is not all
about your opinions or me.
Let me attempt something, Judy. WITH WHAT
FREQUENCY THEN, DO YOU EXHIBIT THIS 'TRUE HIMILITY'?
True humility Lance is saying what God says about
a situation or subject; personal opinion, even
while grovelling while saying it is inverted
pride. When a preacher gets out there with a megaphone
and accurately speaks the oracles of God .. that
is true humility. Or of one speaks them to a friend in
private - this is also laying down their own
life. Because God's Word is that around which the
battle
rages.
There are two on TT who regularly write
reflecting humility. I'm suspect of one of them but, that's because I
don't, perhaps.
I see. Is this
then the sin of the parents, or the world, or the parson with low
esteem?
How would this condition add to or subtract from one's
ability to do what Jesus suggests in the sermon on the mount? I
am too lazy to look it up but it seems to me that He came to town meek
and lowly, riding on a colt. Possibly as an example to us?
To
be quite honest, I do not see low esteem as a problem on TT. Do
you?

Self rejection happens when children

When
one is raised in an unloving
atmosphere they tend to accept the lie that this is because they are
unlovable making
it difficult to understand or receive the
love of God.
The world adds to the problem with
unrealistic standards especially in the
area of perfection and body image -
thinness for women and Gk perfection for
men and too many times this becomes a
graven image or idol and
people reject themselves when they don't
measure up rather than giving thanks for being fearfully and wonderfully
made.
Could you explain what you mean by self
rejection?

Hi Terry,
I don't know that any of us would say
that they are "self satisfied" in fact not even Paul himself
said that.
What he did say is that he didn't know
of any sin but that did not mean he was justified completely
before
the Lord. I would say the
same. At this point in my walk I see self rejection just
as sinful as the ignorance
that comes with pride... either way it
is all self, self, self, self. judyt
