Pride and Humility can never co-exist

[MusicMan]

This is the way I feel but pride and humility can never co-exist and there is no such thing as an ego that is good. The bible does say that pride is the deadliest of all sins and anybody who has an ego is devoid of all humility.

A person can be self confident without pride and without an ego.

Proverbs 11:2 “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” Proverbs 16:5 “The LORD detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.” Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.”

There is no such thing as a know it all.

There is always more to learn, ways to grow, and room for improvement.

Pride leads to arrogance and selfishness.

Another thing: If you have a roof over your head, clean water to drink, a cosy bed to sleep in, and food on the table every meal, you are extremely fortunate, lucky, and blessed because there are a lot of people and children who have none of that and who have absolutely nothing.

You can never achieve happiness with maternal things, happiness comes from Jesus.

This is my Christmas message.

In one sense, I agree that they can not coexist, however, in another, I believe they can. It depends on the type of "pride" one is exhibiting, right?

Pride in onesself differs from pride in another, or something else. I am proud to be a Christian, and proud that Jesus died for my sins, and it humbles me that He did. In this instance pride and humility do coexist.

Being proud of ones own accomplishments differs from being proud of what Jesus did for all mankind IMO.

Sinful pride is what the Bible teaches against, and well it should!

 

[Isaskar]

Being humble is just one of my excellent qualities.

 

[ewq1938]

It's wise to have humble pride, but not to have prideful humbleness.

I think one thing is others often perceive pride in someone where it doesn’t exist because when you choose humility before Christ , God will exalt and lift you up and people then sometimes perceive pride where it doesn’t exist.

We need to judge our own self carefully for things like pride I agree with you just as good and evil can’t continue together pride and humility can’t either

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.

Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4:7-10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

we’ve lost the spirit of supplications through watered down corrupted modern grace doctrines. So we can’t make sense why we would turn our joy to heaviness and mourning , why we would let our laughter turn to weeping , why we would need to cleanse our hands and purify our hearts or resist the devil or submit ourself to God

we’re taught “ the cross means your saved anything you need to do according to scripture is a work and not true “ “we’re saved by faith meaning we don’t have to do anything “

so we tend to scoot past scripture that’s instructing us what to do to overcome in the epistles

This is an incredibly important thing that you have remarkably noted. Have you any deeper thoughts on this concept? I'd be surprised if you didn't have some deep things to say about it, for to write that sentence requires deeper, more involved thinking.

Confidence: The overarching, systematic way in which a person views themselves, the world (or universe), and everything within it.

Maternal things? well yea some mothers can be very prideful esp when posting about their children on FB. I dont know if their children get a say in that.

The paternal things are problematic too.
