And if you live according to the flesh you will die.

Okay. If we're going to go down the Christian route of debate, then equating 'accepting yourself = living with the flesh' is a misquotation.

Isn't the obsession of death a desire of the flesh itself? Because the will of the Spirit is life, and the desire to live fruitfully while blessing and loving others. But how can you love others like yourself if you can't love yourself to begin with? That is also contrary to the will of God. The Spirit wants to love you, but you're not allowing yourself to be loved by hating yourself.

When I say "death" I mean only death of the flesh, because 99% of people can only understand human terms.
