Pride can sneak in all areas of our characteristics even in Humbleness, one can have pride in their humbleness. Look at me I am the most humble person in my Church, but as most things in life it is what we use it for that can be good or evil. Is it not good to boast on Our Lord or to have pride in being able to serve the one true God ?


Ps 8:1To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O LORD OUR LORD, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.Ps 8:9O LORD OUR LORD, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!Ps 135:5For I know that the LORD is great, and that OUR LORD is above all gods.Ps 147:5Great is OUR LORD, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

To Whom It Concerns,

If someone is going around, in the name of God, and is telling people (on this site) that there is no trinity and that Jesus Christ is not God and that God never came here to earth in the flesh, and never took upon Himself the form of a servant made in the likeness of men, and denies that Christ was saying that He was God when He said, 'that before Abraham was I am' (John 8:58), what is that and what do you do? Do you know how much of the scripture they deny and oppose to come to that conclusion? Do you have any idea how that effects the cross of Christ and the blood that He shed and the whole plan of salvation? Do you think the Holy Spirit, that raised Christ from the dead, agrees with him? Don't you have the Holy Spirit? If you do, does the Spirit in you agree with him?

What he says grieves the Holy Spirit because he is living and speaking a lie. If someone came to you and lied about your best friend, would you just sit there and say nothing or would you tell them it was a lie and to stop spreading the lie or else? For me to say these things about this person or any other that is like him or agrees with him, am I judging them and being unkind and unloving? Have you tried to convince them of the truth in love? Do you accuse those that do as condescending and condemning? If there were not those that spoke out against this spirit of error in times past, you may have never been able to hear the unadulterated glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. There are others on this site that said they would not tolerate this kind of error and would come out against it, but where are they?

Jesus Christ is our friend and has considered us to be His friend, a friend of God (John 15:15). Do we take that friendship for granted when it comes to the life and words that Jesus Christ lived and spoke? As His friend shouldn't we stick up for Christ, stick up for truth, stick up for what is right and stick up for the Father who sent His Son and stick up for one another? Did you ever consider that if we deny the truth about Christ before men, that Jesus Christ will deny us before the Father (Mt 10:33)?
