Matthew 22:37-39

>Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

>This is the first and great commandment.

>And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Why does it seem like Jesus is saying to basically love your neighbor not at all? If one loves the lord with all their heart/soul/mind, where is the love for themself? If they have no love for themself, this is how he tells you to love your neighbor.. right?

I obviously do not think Jesus is telling us to not love ourself or our neighbor.. but at the same time, I am not going to just assume I know.

Please pray for me, I was completely unaware of satans influence, I used to think love was ridiculous, but now i see it was just another lie meant to cause us death.

I love Jesus, please pray for me that satan releases his obsession with trying to bring me down to death again.

thank you. never thought i would be saying this stuff.

Love of neighbor stems from love of God since they are souls made by God in His love and we are to love them like He does.

This love for them doesnt mean having fuzzy feelings, it means wishing and doing the best for them, specially their souls.

Ok i'll pray for you.

yea true, I have no problem accepting/loving other people, the hardest part is knowing god/Jesus love me even though I am a flaming homo time to time.

but I am getting there, Jesus keeps reminding me that I am loved no matter what, and that my works of charity are what is true of my heart.

also thanks for prayer my friend.

A saint(forgot who) suffered terrible sexual temptations so he prayed to God so He'd free him from that but God answered: "If i take those away i'll have to give you something else" (like disease, persecution, other kind of temptation, etc).

Similarly with Paul:

"So to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

(…) Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church"

So in suffering we get graces, it has redemptive power and we can unite it with Christ's perfect sacrifice. And it that last verse what it lacks is not merits because Christ's sacrifice is perfect, it only lacks our participation.

So carry your cross, live with your temptations without falling to them, in triumphing those battles you'll attain your sanctification. There is no cross God gives us that we cant bear and if we bear it with love for God it becomes light: "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

We can see this with the good and bad thief, one accepts his cross, his yoke became easier and in that same day he met the Lord in heaven, the other blasphemed, resented, insulted, his yoke got heavier and heavier.

Hmm.

>For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving

^seems pretty concise here. I have suffered enough thank you, most of my life has been suffering. If God wishes to make me suffer more, this is of course good and His will.

>Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

>Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

I will trust Jesus, and I have continually looked for his direct condemnation of loving men, or a direct statement against feeling pleasure through Gods gift of life.. I have not found it. I understand temptation, and I know Jesus spoke of it being bad. Who can be good to his fellow man, give charity, help the poor, etc.. if he is constantly distracted?

This is just my understanding, and I personally seek God and His Son if ever confused, and since there exists contradictions throughout the bible, I always double check with Jesus for the final truth.

I have my priorities, I ask God to reveal to me all of the ways in which they are misguided.
