Re: Dignity
[ QUOTE ]
If a man lays prostrate before God, he sacrifices his dignity. He is essentially saying, "I am nothing without You, God." Where is his self-worth? Therefore, he has no dignity before God.

If you assume there is a God, as Christians believe, then you would not exist without God. Therefore, the statement that "I am nothing without You, God" would be completely accurate. It has nothing to do with lack of self-respect.

Secondly, if another man slaps him across the face and insults him, he is supposed to turn the other cheek in an act of complete submission. This time he sacrifices his dignity and self-worth before other humans

Christians do not believe this.
