Do you love humanity?

[Corn Pop]

People need to love and forgive themselves before they can love and forgive others.

If people don't love and forgive themselves then how can they love and forgive others.

It always a blame game. It's aways someone else fault.

It's like saying God loves me, but if I don't love myself then I am disrespecting God who loves me. God forgives me, but I don't forgive myself, that's disrespecting God.

Everyone must learn to love, forgive, respect, and care for themselves first, every individual is there number one, then they can love, forgive, respect, and care for others.

Jesus wants people to focus on themselves yet people want to focus on him. He humbled himself for a reason to help people focus on themselves to learn to love, forgive, care for themselves so they can do the same for others.

Human beings can show us a glimpse of God's love, now and then. But we need to avoid becoming addicted to people, worshipping them instead of God.

Exactly! No man deserve any honor.
God only!

There is many verses about honoring people. Honor thy mother and father is one.

Yes. But this is God's principle of family. Not to honor pedofile or bad parents. But the idea of family.
I honestly don't know for shure.
But i personaly choose to always put God first in all things. Then maybe honor people for the sake of helping.
Love-

Well i agree in the sense of that Jesus helps us help us and others.
I like to mow my own law before I help my neighbor..

God told you; Those who honour me, I will honour!
Stay blessed my friend

You are right! I should have explained that what I believe is that no man can give honour unto themselves.
But God will give us the honour we need.
It's good to give honour to others.

What I meant is that we can't honour ourselves.
I should have explained that at first!
Thanks brother/sister!

Difference between "honour" and "worship".

Therefore the Lord God of Israel declares, ‘I did indeed say that your house and that of [Aaron] your father would walk [in priestly service] before Me forever.’ But now the Lord declares, ‘Far be it from Me—for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me will be insignificant and contemptible.

This is interesting. Because do all parents deserve honour? Pedofiles, abusers, those who leave their children alone and so on.
So this can't be talking about honouring parents as the works that they have done.
Maybe it's honouring parents as a principal for your own sake.
"That it may go well with you..."

My parents weren't perfect. My older siblings would tease my father for being an indecisive procrastinator. They weren't worldly so to young adult eyes the may have appeared lacking guile and commonsense sometimes.
But their decency. Oh man, I haven't met such decent people in my life. And so loving and kind.
It's easy to honour them now. Because I can see their true value.

Interesting! And I especially like the idea of seeing their true value!
This might be how we should honour our parents, despite of their shortcomings.
And also people in general.
Because I believe God does it.
Thanks

Humanity tested me this morning. I almost came down to its level.
Sorry. That's a very arrogant joke.
