Narcissistic Christianity should be an oxymoron, but sadly it exists when followers of Jesus follow out of self-interest.

BLUF

We follow Christ because of who he is, not because of what we want.

WTF?

Gustavo Gutierrez, in his excellent little book, On Job raised the interesting question, "Do you love God because of all the good He can do for you? Or do you love God because He’s God?" An alternative question is, "Not loving God is stoopid [sic]." If that’s the case, you might be a Narcissistic Christian, which is to say you are only in it for yourself and you have missed the whole point.

Thought Experiment Ask yourself the question, "Would I be willing to go to hell if it meant someone else could go to heaven?" I don’t think that’s possible, but it’s a telling thought experiment.

St Paul sez…

"For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh" Romans 9:3.
