Why exactly does Christianity teach that pride is a sin?
I just don't get it: a complete non sequitur.
If I'm proud of myself who have I wronged?
Don't you need pride to have dignity?
Everyone has pride.
What is wrong with Christianity???
Why is Pride a Sin?
Bentley Lopez
Thomas Richardson
They want to hold the White race back
Notice how our age of greatest achievement happened after we started to ditch the Christcucks?
Most of the conquistadors and conquering colonials didn't give a shit about religion. Minus of course the Protestants but the British and Germans did impressive empires in Africa without the christfaggery
Bentley Howard
Vainglory is the sin you're thinking of.
Nathan Long
Whenever pride is mentioned as a sin, they either refer to vainglory, as said, or hubris, as in being so prideful that you think of yourself as on par or superior to God. Both are and should be considered sins, in my opinion.
Caleb Kelly
MEAN WHILE the mashed potato whose country is widely known for their gross overenjoyment of an old book comes in and tries to lecture Anglos (who have objectively discovered and conquered more territory, the potato fields included) about moral systems.
Go fuck yourself, we could have eradicated the niggers by now and had Africa fully white if it wasn't for you.
Luke King
It's not so much about pride but rather about being self-obsessed, egocentric. There is nothing wrong with being proud of your acomplishments just don't be a dick about it.
Ethan Richardson
I agree with the sentiment but as a catholic raised I can say the sentiment comes from the idea of “treating others as equals” hence you shouldnt feel superior and too great to help others, as in you are above them
Jace Lee
The language should be interpreted with nuance certainly, but when you feel proud you often forget what God does for you; people should not relegate God to only large, “serious” matters—a lot of times at work when something goes well I try to be at least a little thankful to God—in a way even what we think of as luck is actually being blessed with a moment of grace, when I can stick with this mindset I feel happier and like the world is full of little glorious moments.
Xavier Harris
Pride is that fine line between humility and arrogance.
The average person is far too emotionally unstable to tread this line, they often fall over into arrogance.
Arrogance separates you from people; it is competitive.
Humility unites you with people; it is cooperative.
Pride makes us artificial, and humility makes us real.
I have lived on three continents, in Muslim countries, Central Europe, and now Australia. And I have noticed that pointing out arrogance is a massive taboo in Western culture. Westerners do not want to hear about it. I think it's because individualistic cultures thrive on arrogance. Everyone is their own personal fiefdom and they will never forfeit any dignity to anyone, even if it benefits the group, because they do not believe in groups. So what you end up with are scattered competitors divided by suspicion and envy, as our more humble enemies unite around us. It will be a rude awakening for the West when they realize just how untenable their social structure is once the Muslim hordes consolidate themselves.
And that is why pride is a sin.
It strengthens an individual at the expense of the group.
Humility is a survival necessity, and it makes people more authentic.
Pride weakens a group.
Pride is rot, it leads to downfall [pic related]

BLACK MAN BAD
William Richardson
you are correct
and you are a miserable idiot
Matthew Stewart
Because pride leads one to assume that they have no superior.
Satan did this.
It is bad.
To be safe for all eternity:
A: Admit that you are a sinner, who violates the Will of God, and that you need a Saviour.
B: Believe that Jesus Christ, Son of God & Messiah, died for you sins and rose again, as prophesied and recorded in the Word of God.
C: Call on His name, ask Him to save you, and confess that He is Lord.

Arrogance is supposed to equal success in the west, because our myth says that failure is only our doing, that when someone has a hard time they essentially have done it to themselves and there is no room for the tragic or sympathetic in our lives. It’s why we are so rich and yet sustain the highest suicide rates and diseases like anorexia which do not exist in poor countries.
Jonathan Reyes
Yeah that’s why you you colonized all the niggers and ended up letting them in in droves because “Muh commonwealth”
Fix your fucking teeth
Gabriel Howard
Arrogance causes you to look down on people.
It separates you from others and cuts the reality-feedback loop.
You end up with a hideously delusional personality (Hollywood celebrities) and make a huge mockery of yourself before you are forgotten.
Humility does the exact opposite.
STAY HUMBLE OR BE HUMBLED (like Conor McGregor #lolrekt)

American pride predates things like anorexia or the high suicide rate.

Arrogance is a sin, and normal/non autistic people recognize that humble and modest people are far more desirable. Arrogance without achievement is pitiable.
Lies, moronic lies. You are hardly humanity's greatest achievement. You wouldn't know a thing about humanity's greatest achievements.
Also your history is rubbish you subhuman
Brayden Garcia
The ancient Greeks considered hubris the greatest of sins. So much ignorance in one thread? Some people really need to clear themselves out of the genepool. Wait, they already did
Ryder Butler
That's fucking Italy you inbred moron
Jacob Morales
pride is a form of idolatry, pride is imagining that you're strong, just because you are alive and succeeding within your context
in reality, you control next to nothing, not even your own existence

Benjamin Long
Geez, is everyone colorblind or what? I’m an italian living in my country, med master race here.
Yes, and? Hubris was considered a sin by the ancient Greeks, it is a sin going under the name of pride in Christianity, and it should be considered a sin in modern society as well. I don’t think I’ve said anything wrong.
Evan Cooper
The sins themselves are not evil. But they are the motives of evil. And it cannot be denied that most of the world greatest mistakes were caused by pride. Romeo and Juliet is a classic example of the destuction of excessive pride.
Benjamin Torres
I wasn't criticizing you, but the guy talking crap in reply to you, maybe I should have made this more clear

Ah, of course, I only realized that might’ve been the case after sending my message. I apologize for jumping to conclusion.
John Edwards
There never been anything wrong with pride. The real problem is arrogance. How much does a person likes himself and is proud of himself is irrelevant as long as he isn't a dick about it. For exemple, prideless arrogant people are probably some of the most disgusting subhumans around, and that category encompasses well the urban left-wing bugman
Grayson Cox

no worries luigi

Besides the right stuff people have said in this thread it also facilitates other sins:

well put. Balanced pride is essential in any functioning human. Or probably indeed any mammal. Overweening, unbalanced pride or arrogance is toxic, undeserved, and cancerous. Just look at typical snowflakes, they all suffer from entitlement-syndrome, this is a form of arrogance and it is toxic.
Nathan Taylor
>or probably indeed any mammal
Not including Cats
Alexander Bailey
where's the lie?
Jayden Allen
So in your view cats are not proud, or their pride is not balanced?
Gabriel Perez
It's not just Christianity.
If I'm not mistaken, all the great epic greek stories about the gods advise against hubris. Excessive pride is a character flaw.
Pride is the first sin.
Satan's pride/hubris in himself lead to rebelling against God.
Isaiah 14:12-15
How you have fallen from heaven,
morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!
13 You said in your heart,
“I will ascend to the heavens;
I will raise my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,
on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.[a]
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.”
15 But you are brought down to the realm of the dead,
to the depths of the pit.
Alexander Cooper
Pride is an attempt at stealing the glory of God.
Aiden Gonzalez
They are excessively proud without any drawbacks.
Josiah Howard
The "early Christians" had nothing to be proud of. They were vile creatures, the original Untermenschen: Jews, slaves, dumb, weak and oppressed.
One would as little choose “early Christians” for companions as Polish Jews: not that one need seek out an objection to them.... Neither has a pleasant smell.
Just look at how Paul, the Jew, talked to them:
>Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.
These people had nothing to be proud of, not a single good quality. And they hated everyone who was proud, they were jealous beyong belief. But you have to act on such strong feelings, however these people were too scared to act, so they turn their own feelings into sins.
However, they had to somehow attack those who were higher, who were nobler, who were stronger, who were smarter. How could you possibly defeat such a foe? Turn everything good about him into something evil and turn everything bad about you into something good!
Be prideful about having nothing to be poud of. Be prideful about being miserable. You are not weak, you are meek. You are here to shame the strong.
God died pathetically on the cross. Even the highest being is pathetic. So being pathetic is something divine and good.
It's not that you are too weak to act, no, you hold the other cheek and love your enemies, like Jesus told you to. Your inability to act is divine.
Jack Brown
If white people were more modest they wouldn't be ashamed of doing certain jobs in the economy that immigrants are now doing
Easton Morales
you are so subhuman it is laughable. Profoundly, pitiably ignorant. No wonder you cause so many wars
Charles Johnson
The eternal Christian, angry about being called out
Grayson Mitchell
Because hubris leads to undoing.
Sins aren't sins because of some magical reason, they're called sins because they're a bad fucking idea and the easiest way to keep dumb people from doing dumb things is telling them that God doesn't want them to do that shit.
Carson Sanders
What if I said our kids are supposed to be doing those jobs, not 40 year old Mexicans
Jordan Allen
That has been a meme the whole time to justify immigration. It's pure conjecture that works because parents glance at their kids and think "yea!!! kids are so lazy!!! in my time we worked hard at any job we would get!!!".

And then He rose again. Meanwhile Nietzsche went mad and died due to the syphilis he got from a whore and (unless he repented without us knowing) is in Hell. Also there's absolutely nothing wrong with being strong, the point of strength however is to serve God. I think it's pretty freaking funny that weeb neckbeards like yourself pretend to be stronger than the Christians who chose to pain horrible painful deaths rather than submit to Roman authorities.
Connor Walker
All religions are started by narcissists who get the dumbass peasants to follow rules that involve grovelling to God. Rules only a psychopath would invent.
Notice that the priests always stand in front of the crowd (with their backs to whichever god the muppets are grovelling towards, which is most disrespectful).
What kind of god would create the multi-trillion galaxy universe, only to have some semi-evolved monkeys crawling on the floor in front of him? What kind of god would want his worshippers going to a draughty old building on their day off, so they can sing at him?
Badly.
On his day off?
Not any god I can respect.
Pride is a sin because it puts you on an equal footing with the psycho who has wedged himself between you and your creator. No Narcissist can tolerate this.
If god has a message for me, I'm pretty sure he can tell me himself, not play chinese whispers via some choirboy fiddling, middle class, workshy tosser.

Oh wow, they died. That's such a fucking hard thing to do. It's not like 100% of all people on the world can do this. But thanks for proving my point that dying a pathetic death is considered divine thanks to Christ.
Robert Allen

Just as you can eat to sate your hunger without being gluttonous, you can take pride in your achievements.
If you become too arrogant and prideful though, it may ruin your life and the lives of people around you.
