"For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps…Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God." 1 Peter 2:21; 4:1-2
OVERCOMERS
"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." Revelation 12:11
Speaking prophetically of overcomers, the Bible says that they "LOVED NOT" their own lives even unto there own death in this fleeting world system. If this isn't a nail in the coffin of the self-love message, then what is it? Those who overcome will be those who "love not their lives unto the death." This is the Bible. This is the opposite of learning to love self - "they loved NOT their lives unto the death." This is God's Word. Self-love is the antithesis of the message of the Gospel of our LORD. Self-love is antichrist. Only the overcomers are promised eternal life in Heaven and only those who love not their own lives even unto death are overcomers and will be in Heaven (Rev. 2-3).
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Romans 12:1-2
Our thinking must be "transformed" to that which we witness in the Word that we might be fully pleasing to the One we claim to be serving. He tells us here to present our bodies a "living sacrifice." Nothing can be left alive - all must be laid down (sacrificed) and died. The LORD desires that His "great power" and resurrection life would abide in His children (Jn. <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />11:25; Acts 4:33; Rom. 8:11). 
Knowing God personally, living in the Spirit instead of the flesh, and devouring and obeying His Precepts, is the only safeguard against the deception and sinful desires of self-idolatry being taught by so many in leadership today in these apostate, Laodicean last days (Jn. 17:3; Rom. 8:29; Rev. 3:14-21). Jesus told us that the road was narrow and only a "few" will enter into the "narrow gate" that leads to eternal life - Heaven. As foretold by the Son of God, so very "many" are being swept away in this tidal wave of self-indulgence and deception, designed to lead men to eternal perdition (Matt. 7:13-15).
"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." Matthew 7:13-15
Ever notice in the above passage how that Christ warned that only a "few" would ultimately be in Heaven and warned that we are to "beware of false prophets" who come to us dressed like sheep and yet they are "ravening wolves." The term Jesus used here, "ravening wolves", means that these leaders have spiritual rabies and have come to inject the sheep of the LORD and destroy them.Any person who, after reading numerous Scripture and finding not one verse in the Bible that teaches men to love themselves, and yet still argues to justify self-love, has been well trained under the tutelage of Satan's emissaries.
It is when we cry out to the LORD that He cleanses us and that we then have His love and joy in our hearts and have the sense of well-being as He desires.
