From key words to Biblical case studies, it will unlock a new perspective and provide a framework in your search for truth. The excerpt below, the author provides detailed explanation as to how the narcissist got that way.

The Root Cause :

Romans I explains the ultimate root cause is suppression of the truth in a desire to live contrary to God’s standard:

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness-Romans 1:18 …They suppress the ultimate truth and knowledge of God Himself (Genesis 3:14, John 8:58, Revelations 1:18) -the reality of His eternal existence, His divine nature of love, mercy and justice, and His infinite power, knowledge, and wisdom.
