Luke 18:9

>And he spake This Parable unto certain which Trusted in Themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: :10
Two Men went up into the temple to pray; the One a Pharisee, and the Other a Publican. :11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with Himself, God, I thank thee, That I am not as Other Men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as This Publican. :12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I pssess. :13 And the Publican, Standing Afar Off, would not lift up So Much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God Be Merciful to me A SINNER. :14 I tell you, This Man went down to his house Justified rather than the other: for every one that exalted Himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth Himself shall be exalted.
Luke 16:14>

And the Pharisees also, who were Covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. :15 And he said unto them, Ye are They which Justify Yourselves before men; for that which is hightly esteemed Among Men is abomination in the sight of God. :16 The law and the prophets were Until John: since THAT TIME the Kingdom of God is Preached, and Every Man Presseth into it.(as New Wine/New Bottles).

There was a Certain Rich Man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: :20 And there was a Certain Beggar named Lazarus (=Whom God help), which was laid at his gate full of sores. :21 And desiring TO BE FED with the Crumbs which fell from the Rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. :22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Ahraham’s bosom: the Rich Man also died, and was buried: :

23 And in hell He Lift UP HIS EYES, being in torments, and seeth Abraham Afar Off, and Lazarus in his bosom
. :24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool My Tongue; for I am tormented in This Flame. :25 But Abraham (=a father of many nations) said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus (=whom God help) evil things, but Now he is Comforted, and thou art tormented. :26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us that would come from thnce.

Proverbs 6: 16-19.....

Lord have mercy on us.
bibletalk said 4 months ago

Are there any Proud Christians? Can the two, being proud, and being a christians exist or occupy the same soul?

Andrew, I hope you will pick-up on the contrast being drawn between those who rely on the law and knowledge that they are the offspring of Father Abraham: and Faith in Jesus and God that sent him......<>
andrewtungsk said 4 months ago

I have never met a Christian who claimed to be proud or haughty. But I have come across many proud Christians myself amongst them who cloak themselves in humbleness and love.

Though we have received grace from the finished work of Jesus the law and knowledge are still relevant. The word of God can never be obsolete.

He who began a good work in you will contnue until the day of Jesus Christ.
