Can a person with narcissistic personality disorder ever be reconciled with and accepted by the christian god?

Answer:
The narcissist started off admiring him or herself excessively before his/her conditioned developed into a disorder. At the developing stage of narcissism, some may say that the christian god would be jealous of the attention that this individual would rather give to him/herself than giving it to god. However, psychologically, the narcissist is uncontrollably engulfed into the self and the christian god understands, even before one reaches the stage of being considered disordered, that this individual, who is weak and flawed, needs unconditional reconciliation and requires acceptance from god and humanity, regardless of his or her disorder. The christian god is believed to be all forgiving and all loving; therefore, this god should not find a problem accepting a person, especially one who is disordered.

Nooooooo

your question makes zero sense!

back to the books, dude!

Why would anyone want to reconcile with a non-existent bully?

---

everybody can be accepted by god, no matter what 'disorder' you have. as long as your heart is true and you want to belong to him more than you want any ting else. once you make a commitment and start a relationship with him, he can heal all things. even a personality disorder. he is waiting for you to commit to him so he can heal you and give you the life you were meant to have and that was not to suffer from such a thing in the first place. god always accepts us whoever we are, it is us (humans) who take that away from him. good luck, and god bless.

What does narcissism have to do with God?

Simply, yes. But I'm guessing you want a bit more to an answer. And to check that we are both reading from the same hymn sheet, check out the links. It's a good, simple description of narcissism and a more complete look at the personalilty associated.

Self love is potentially a bad thing, but it can be molded into something positive. Many Christians believe that by having God in their lives, their bad fetures can become something that is used for good. For example, self importance and self-love could become a propotionate sense of self worth and value.

One of the theories of NPD is that is a reflexive protection from early harm or abuse. The christian God is recognised as being the All-Loving One. He already loves everybody, whether they believe in Him or not. And the Bible says that "perfect love casts out fear", so I do believe that healing can occur.

I hope that starts to answer your question. This is a huge subject and if you would like to discuss it further you can email me. emm_lou@hotmail.com. Do be aware that I have my spam filter on full, so please use an obvious subject.
