Can you take pride in being a Christian?
What is the opposite of pride? Humble? Well, a christian is a humble person.

Can you take pride in being humble? Humble people are just content.

That's what a life being saved is. You are content, right?

All the complaining you do, and all the anger and all the suffering is just because you are content. Maybe wisdom plays a part in being content too. But all wisdom comes from the Lord, so when you are saved, why shouldn't the Lord make you gain some?

Re: Can you take pride in being a Christian?
There is a lot of misguided pride. Take for instance those duck call people: they pray, not only in public, against Jesus' specific orders, but they do it on television, and make an issue of it. They got in some trouble for boasting about their sexuality. Now, that's something that surely ought to be private, but gays boast about their sexual pride, so heterosexuals follow their example and start boasting about their own sexuality. It all looks like a big clusterf**k to me.

It isn't Christian, and those people will be answering to Jesus. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes on judgement day.

Pride in ones heart about self is ungodly.

Pride in God, church, and ministry is not.

Pride in myself? No.

Pride in the one that saved me from eternal damnation? Yes.

I don't think heathen means in totality what you think it means. Please elaborate.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51975560


I think that boasting in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ is different than taking pride in ones self. I think you put yourself aside when you boast in the cross of Jesus Christ, or am I wrong here?

Well, whatever, I don't want to make a mess here.

You have a possessed santa with upside down cross on his head in your avatar? And upside down pentagram, and constantly assault Christians, your avatar contains picture of hell and blackness, and you are always rude and lack critical thinking. Your idea of 'love and understanding' is pretty twisted. Actually your hypocrisy is overwhelming...as usual. Mostly everything you post about Christianity applies to yourself. And then everything you actually claim about yourself, is in fact what Christians are.....People can see the inversion and not everyone is stupid.

No man shall glorify Himself in the sight of Yahweh. If any man glory, let him glorify Yahweh for all things. Pride of man for anything in his own self is not of Yahweh.

Pride and humility are opposites. You can't be one without the other. If one claims to be both, they lack understanding.
