Hi Dave,God calls us to be humble, how can anyone be humble claiming to be perfect?
humble is the opposite of prideI am curious... what do you think "humble" means? How is it attached to sin?
Luke 18:14; "I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."
Php 2:8; Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
humble is the opposite of pride
Hey Bac Being humble is a way to stay detached from sin IMO
being humble is not to think highly of yourself IMO
That's humble in all of your life not just To Jesus.Humble"?
Yes, humbled to Christ Jesus.
Even in the face of ridicule and doubt.Also means a correctable spirit.
Attitude that one does not know it all or PROVE they are right.
Willing to walk Gods way over your way.
Blessings
Amen!That's humble in all of your life not just To Jesus.
LOL Dave it is not bragging to state a fact....I am fat...Is that a fact? Or is it a bad criticism? I am righteous, I am the righteousness of God in the anointing (which is perfect perfection). Is that bragging? Or is it stating a fact? God said that about you! If you say what God says, where is the bragging? Jesus claimed to be God! Was He bragging? No...He was stating fact....You can always state fact and be humble...One has nothing to with the other.God calls us to be humble, how can anyone be humble claiming to be perfect?
It's Good to brag on the Lordso here bragging and stating fact are one in the same,
I guess the difference is that the braggart expects a reward, while the stater of fact doesn't.HI Bendito I get what your saying but I was looking into it a little deeper hope this makes sense to you
actually stating facts can indeed be prideful and not humble at all if your heart is not in the right place. For instance if you state the fact you give to the poor so other will see you that is prideful according to scripture that is your reward, that is why Jesus says to give in secrete not so we have to do it in secrete but so we are protected against becoming prideful for wanting be seen by other.
Scripture that explains that yes indeed stating fact to be seen by others can be prideful and NOT humble
Matthew 6:1-4
“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
you see even though someone is just stating facts they are doing it with the wrong heart thus making them prideful
so here bragging and stating fact are one in the same,
Can you elaborate, or give an example of "needs"?Another reason to not draw attention to another's needs.
Blessings
I believe the point Brother @Dave M was making is......I guess the difference is that the braggart expects a reward, while the stater of fact doesn't.
Yep sure can.Can you elaborate, or give an example of "needs"?
Too bad you can't tell the difference.I believe the point Brother @Dave M was making is......
One who brags on what they did are making a boastful noise such as look at me, I am somebody to behold.
One stating the facts or telling it like it is - well again just bringing attention unto them selves in a more politically correct way. Lol
Blessings
Gotcha.Yep sure can.
A man is down and in a bad way and can't feed his family......by helping in secret and without bringing attention to it, you save the man from grief, inbaresment and so much more.
If you have to tell people in any way what you did brings light on yourself and the one in need and it is not right to do so.
I did this and I did that and I I I I I I is nothing to be at peace with. I guys are selfish and prideful.
Blessings to you and your family
God is the most humble and yet He is perfect.God calls us to be humble, how can anyone be humble claiming to be perfect?
