God uses the meek not the boisterous.
God uses
whoever He wants
But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases - Ps 115:3
If God doesn't use the boisterous, how do you explain Elijah's mocking and jeering?
It came about at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, "Call out with a loud voice, for he is a god; either he is occupied or gone aside, or is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and needs to be awakened." - 1 Kings 18:27
If God doesn't use the boisterous then how do you explain Jesus making a WHIP and turning over tables in 'church'? Do you think He politely and meekly said, "um please move out of the way so I can tip these tables over"..?
I'm not saying Jesus had pride here, I'm disproving your theory that God doesn't use boisterous behavior.
excuse me. Counting his kingdom. There is an entire book in the Bible about counting
Satan stood up against Israel and moved David to number Israel - 1 Chron 21:1
It couldn't be any clearer, friend.
He didn't have the mannerisms of one either which is why he submitted to Saul after he both was ordained as the next king and also after killing a giant that no one else in the country could.
Yes! - David was in the
process of being
humbled, but he still fell into sin and ALL sin is rooted in pride. Any time we satisfy the lusts of the flesh it's about self. Putting SELF first is pride. David had pride and put
himself before God each time he fell into sin.
He also didn't kill Saul when he had the chance. Does that sound like a prideful person?
Just because a person does the right thing and passes one of God's tests does not mean they're free from pride. ALL sin is rooted in pride.
I'd like to see where this came from.
You aren't familiar with the fact the Apostle Paul was prideful?
Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. - 2 Cor 12:7
Conceit = pride
He didn't call Jesus a liar. Stop being so over dramatic. He, like all of us have done expected too much from himself and was proven wrong.
When you tell someone what they're saying isn't true, you're calling them a
LIAR. We do the exact same thing today. Each time you refuse to believe God, you're calling Him a big fat liar.
Stop watering down the Word of God.
This can not be chalked up as pride because a proud person would have not followed Jesus in the first place.
Really..
JUDAS was following Jesus too, remember?
And satan LIVED IN GLORY with God before pride overtook him.
What you don't seem to understand is that
ALL sin has pride at the root of it.
No Moses was filled with anger and killed that person for mistreating his countrymen.
ALL sin has
pride at the root of it. What Moses did was not righteous, therefore it was sin, and ALL sin is rooted in pride.
No. Saul was afraid of the masses and did what they wanted instead of what God wanted.
That's not scriptural. He did what he wanted because he was full of self importance and pride - That's why he spared the life of Agag and kept the best animals alive after GOD instructed him to kill them - Read it for yourself
But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them - 1 Sam 15:9
If you want to use the bible to justify your ideals then we have reached the end of our discussion here and I will will go my way in this.
I'm using the bible to prove what is TRUE, that's what we're
supposed to do. I've taken nothing out of context, I'm proving what is right and true according to God's Word which does not lie.
Only God knows what's in a persons heart.
That, my friend, is
exactly my point - You need to stop judging people from the exterior.
That includes your judgements on Donald Trump.
If God wants to use Trump as president, it doesn't matter what you think about his ego. The other candidates just know how to hide theirs. God can use whomsoever He pleases.
You can say what you want. you've done so consistently since this post started.
What's your point? - You also "say what you want".
That's what people do in debates. They present their points.
Good has historically used those who are meek to do hid work and none of that work has failed. Cherry picking Scripture will not win you anything either.
God used a non believing King called "Cyrus the Great" (hardly humble) to liberate Israel.
God used the pagan nation of Assyria to punish Israel.
All of God's people had some form of pride.
God uses people in SPITE of themselves and prepares them along the way.
ALL sin is rooted in pride.
Any time we satisfy the lusts of the flesh it's about self and SELF is pride.
All God's people had pride problems along the way.
