Pride?

[memyselfi]

New to the bible and wondering if Pride is a sin then how can you ever try to do well at anything because Pride will come naturally when you do?

Pride is my flesh and blinds me to my need for G-d.... Pride in what G-d did thru me is WOUNDERFUL.... The pseudo, false pride (pride I my flesh... HOW GREAT I AM ALL BY SELF)…. WRONG/SIN.... Why? … I woke up, could I breath.. wake up... if not for G-d letting me?

So this lead to the question do I concur and fall by G-d?

I think "fallers" work the same way... my flesh and maybe G-d just didn't want it to happen....

What is funny, not haha funny, but ironically is both are the same discussion.... Just the reciprocale…

 

[Didymous]

Locutus,

Be nice to Didymous because he's not proud. Why his very nickname proves that. He is nicknamed after the Alexandrian Christian teacher, Didymous the Blind. He may imagine he is instead named after Didymus Thomas, but neither "Didymus" nor "Thomas" are proper names. "Thomas" is the Aramaic word for "twin" and "Didymus" is the Greek equivalent. Jesus loved to give His disciples nicknames: Simon to "Peter" or in Aramaic "Cephas," both of which mean "rock" (ironic because Peter was so wishy washy); "the thunder boys" (witty because James and John once called for a lightning strike against a Samaritan village for rejecting them); Simon the Zealot, etc. So Jesus nicknamed another of His disciples, Judas the Twin (= Thomas) and that nickname got changed by the "Greeks to "Didymus," which also means "twin." Why? To distinguish this Judas from His other 2 disciples named Judas. So that left Didymus the Blind as the only early church leader originally named Didymus. I always admire a poster who is humble enough to admit that He's spiritually blind!

False praise from a false heart. Just because I don't believe your doctrine. Sad.......
