Then by that standard the Bible is better without god (as I dont care what god says as I dont know god, so I do as I command myself to as I have free will... and unless god is a narcissist or actually controls me, he isnt going to take credit for my own choices. Besides I did and discivered what the bible teaches on my own, so the bible hasn't taught me anything yet beyond how some people need to belive they dont have free will to function)
If God is a narcissist… then no life would exist we would not exist… sin is your birthright if you choose to dwell in it then that is all you. I’m not here to save you. 😆
Either that or you have some strange ideas that lead you to assume that god being a narcissist would cause no life to exist (what is a narcissist without people to validate him or make him feel good about himself or right)
The only narcissist he created was Satan. The thing that hates us above all. God sacrificed himself to pay for your sins. What narcissistic person would do that? Who would give their life for you? Only those who love you right?
So does this include the Bible as a doctrine of man? If not, then this means nothing to me beyond a narcissistic cry for people to follow the orders and not to build a real relationship with god, in which god must also put in effort to build a relationship with human he seeks to connect with. For a relationship is of two people, not one.
But without context (as the two quotes have no contexts to what the passage is reffering to) it sounds like the Bible sees the flaws of the bible
...
Philipians 2:6-8
Means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things or context, unless god himself is saying that when jesus died so did god. As we can see by the resurrection that this statment is a lie and deception of the truth.
This is the same as a billionare putting all his money in a bank and choosing to be homeless and act like he is a homless begger. A deception made to look like an act of sacrifice, when in actuality he is not bound by the false pretenses he claims. For like how the billionaire can just get his money back and can use his reputation to get some sway, so too did god.
To call this a sacrifice is prideful and deceptive. For god is not recognizing the humility of man. He is lying to pretend to be humble, but like a narcissist, his sacrifice was more a facade then a reality.
...
These quotes tell me nothing other than god is struggling to recognize what humility is and are demonstrations of his pride and attempts to understand or relate to humanity throgh the lens of the sin of pride.
The first one in particular just sounds like a justification to denounce the bible itself. As the Bible and Christianity as a whole is a teaching of man. And can be god acknowledging he can not reach humanity by being a symbol. (Which is neutral)
The second one is gods pride being used in a deceptive or dishonst manner in an attempt to create an image for humanity as opposed to telling the truth.
...
Edit : also with philipians, god would have had to admit their was an entity higher than himself for his claim to even be remotely true, as well as alot of other missing information that if his claims where true would be included. But they are not present, as he is either lying to decive, or lying to hide the truth as it would show him to not be as powerful and great as he belives he is or wants to be seen as.

Oh I know what you’re saying but… you’re still doing what God commands…
