of course! Loving yourself is like loving God.

It is true that ALL life, every single biological life form on this planet, begins female. Human fetuses are female until around 6 weeks then genetics kick in as to if the fetus stays female or becomes a male. That being said, Eve must have been first. So God created women in HER image, then men to be our help mates or whatever. Makes since if you think about it. That's why men are physically stronger, they gotta do all the hard work. Have a nice day.

True, we are to love ourselves, and that might not be easy sometimes when we see our ugliness in comparison to a perfect God, but when we see the inestimable price that was paid for us, and how much God loves us, then we can love ourselves, too.
However, that does not include loving ourselves to the exclusion of others. It is love of humanity that God gave His son, and we can love by giving of ourselves to others, too.

We do love ourselves and way toooooo much. That is part of the problem.
But to Love Him that much and our neighbor as ourselves calls for a sacrificial attitude and much humility. It is hard and w/o the Spirit impossible.

Love yourself, yet love the Almighty more, being that HE is your creator. Bit of a difference in the type of love given.

Yes we would, that is the only way for us to grow. God is within us. But don't be boastfull for God does not like idiology.
Love yourself and be proud about His love for you more than your love for yourself.

The two commandments are to love God...
and to love your neighbor AS YOURSELF.

Yes we should - but nobody can. Nobody can keep the ten commandments - not without the help of Christ.
