    What is wrong with Pride?

    Hello Bob, Thank you for taking time to comment, it is true as human beings we do like to be proud of what we have done or accomplished. Sometimes though as the Parable spoken by Jesus in the first post. Pride can become so rampant that one despises other people, and the King Yeshua, stated...

    What is wrong with Pride?

    Hello Ziggy, You are welcome for the presentation here of what is wrong with pride? I believe pride starts in the heart, and maybe most people do not realize what Jesus says about the heart, in which evil thoughts flow from it. Some may see that passage which is talked about Mark 7, and just...

    What is wrong with Pride?

    Thank you for sharing mailmandan, as I was just saying to Ferris, I have no problem with anyone boasting in the Lord Yeshua Christ, and sharing how Yeshua has changed the life of a person. However there is a problem in the heart of us as human beings, can take that boasting in a prideful sense...

    What is wrong with Pride?

    That makes sense, Ferris. At least at some point in ones life we have all been prideful, especially before having the living God come into someones life, but it seems to be two way street. One one hand it is possible to be lead by the use of the bible that leads to one becoming prideful, you...

    What is wrong with Pride?

    Hello Ziggy, you shared a Psalm but it didn't make sense without the context, do thank you for taking time to share what you have found in the scriptures. New living translation Psa 31: 21 Praise be to the Lord, for he showed me the wonders of his love when I was in a city under siege...

    What is wrong with Pride?

    Hello Robert, You shared Jeremiah 9: 23 Thus says the Yahweh: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; 24 But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the Lord...

    What is wrong with Pride?

    Thank you for sharing this, you know even the bible state some of the things that the living God hates, and what you shared here about how pride is the thing that tends to elevate us and if it is left unchecked it can become to the point of putting our own selves as equal to God which is not...

    Thy Kingdom come.

    Hello Robert, From the understanding that God himself, sends through the Lord Yeshua Christ the Holy Spirit, and also the Spirit of Christ to reside in the hearts of individuals. An that these things are coming down from Heaven, to us in this vessel that is of the earth, when we ask for help by...

    What is wrong with Pride?

    Having come from a background in which was seen by me as elevated above others in my life, it caused me to have a lot of pride over others and to look at them, and despise them all the while in my own mind I was right. Is this the effect of bad pride? And is it okay to take pride in God who does...

    Bible Study: 1 John

    Bible Study: 1 John <- Previous 1 John 3 16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the...

    Flesh VS Spirit

    Yes it is true, Jesus does set us free from the power of death and sin. I do not see the spirit as our mind, but our Soul (having a mind/will/emotion), and we do have the spirit of man - which understands how things work on the earth through learning and having experience. Thank you for sharing.

    What are you?

    It seems to me a matter of perspective. Paul talks about how we are to die to sin, as Ziggy mentioned there is carnal sin, and also spiritual sin, some sins lead to death spiritually. Anything that is not of faith is sin, thus anything not having love for God first and love for others is...

    What are you?

    Shouldn't we know how we are to be able to see ourselves, Ziggy? The only way to be seen right with God, is by loving God and loving others, through faith on in the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Yeshua Christ. It is his righteousness that allows us to be seen (right with God and to...

    What are you?

    All to the glory of God, my friend. Anything to help somehow.

    Flesh VS Spirit

    The spirit helps overcome the flesh; by seeking God through prayer and supplications. Though no one will ever be perfect you can at least see here where the flesh can be held back by The spirit of Christ with-in you holds back the flesh though you have a choice to react in the flesh or the...

    What are you?

    The video shared (which is about the Flesh vs Spirit) might help you understand more, but that was the only helpful thing I could really share, thank you for clarifying and again for your thought provoking question, LearningtoletGo.

    What are you?

    That the only person who never sinned, and to look at his life, and allowing him to produce fruit in your life by abiding in him and allowing him to come through you will not sin, for Jesus cannot sin. I do not know a perfect person other than Jesus, however there are many people out there in...

    What are you?

    This video may help you it is about 12 minutes long if you can bear with me explaining what I learned from someone else.

    What are you?

    From what is understood, Jesus have overcome the sin. I believe it would be a good thing to understand what sin is @LearningToLetGo, it can be so broad for many people. The worst sin, is considered to have unbelief, no faith, because in unbelief and no faith, there is no godly love to be...
