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?

When
one is raised in an unloving atmosphere

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
