🕯️ Traditions The Undiscerned Pride (Haughty Eyes)The first, out of 6 things that the Lord hates

[gold199220]

Proverbs 16:5 - Everyone that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand joins in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
In biblical usage, an abomination is something that God loathes or hates because it is offensive to Him and His character.
Abomination in Tagalog is "Kalapastanganan".
Opinion: Nakakapagpabagabag lang dahil and dami kong nakikita na ganito sa ilang simbahan. Na sila daw pinili ng Diyos.
I was like "Eh, eh? Ehhh"
Kidding aside, yung tipong entitled na sila pero naggrow din yung pride.
Sabi sila lang daw maliligtas? MALI. So yung mga walang pribiliheyo or kapasidad na magpunta sa simbahan nila ay hindi ligtas? Paano yung mga may kapansanan? Yung mga nasa malayong lugar na hindi nakakarinig ng Salita.
Yan ang hirap sa iba, iniisip nila governed si God ng Law pero ang totoo, si God and naggogovern ng Law. Yung iba kasi ginawang checklist yung physical aspect sa law.
At nakalimutan pa nila na PWEDENG MAGDESISYONG NG SARILI ANG DIYOS, sa loob or labas ng BATAS, sa puso, isip, at espiritu.
Luke 16:15 Kaya sinabi Niya sa kanila, “Nagkukunwari kayong matuwid sa harapan ng mga tao, ngunit alam ng Diyos ang inyong puso. Sapagkat ang pinahahalagahan ng tao ay kasuklam-suklam sa Diyos.
Ito naman yung ginawa ng Diyos kay Paul nung nagkaroon siya ng extraordinary vision, nung dinala siya sa third Heaven. Nung makita nya ang glory ni God.
2 Corinto 12:7-10
7 Ngunit upang hindi ako magyabang sa dami ng kamangha-manghang mga bagay na nasaksihan ko, ako'y binigyan ng pahirap sa aking katawan na nagsisilbing sugo ni Satanas upang pahirapan ako, at nang sa gayo'y hindi ako maging palalo. 8 Tatlong beses kong idinalangin sa Panginoon na alisin ito, ngunit 9 ganito ang kanyang sagot, “Ang kagandahang-loob ko ay sapat na para sa iyo, sapagkat lubusang nahahayag ang aking kapangyarihan kapag ikaw ay mahina.” Kaya't buong galak kong ipagmamalaki ang aking mga kahinaan upang manatili sa akin ang kapangyarihan ni Cristo. 10 Alang-alang kay Cristo, ako'y may kasiyahan sa gitna ng mga kahinaan, mga pagkutya, mga kahirapan, pag-uusig at kagipitan. Sapagkat kapag ako ay mahina, doon ako nagiging malakas.
Pride - a sin that often stems from a distorted sense of self-importance and a belief in one's own superiority. It can manifest in various ways, including spiritual arrogance, a refusal to acknowledge one's limitations, and a disdain for others.
It often can lead to a rejection of God's authority and a refusal to submit to the Holy Spirit's guidance.
When someone becomes overly confident in their own understanding and righteousness, they may dismiss the Holy Spirit's promptings, attributing them to their own intellect or intuition. This can lead to a hardened heart that resists the truth and the transformative power of God's grace.
Several biblical examples illustrate how pride can contribute to blasphemy:
The Pharisees/Saducees: The Pharisees, known for their strict adherence to religious law, often exhibited pride and spiritual arrogance. They rejected Jesus' teachings and miracles, attributing them to demonic power, ultimately blaspheming the Holy Spirit.

• Korah's Rebellion: Korah, a Levite, led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron, claiming that they had taken too much authority. This act of defiance, rooted in pride and a desire for power, was considered a blasphemy against God.
• The Assyrians: The Assyrians, known for their military might and arrogance, blasphemed God by attributing their victories to their own power and rejecting God's authority.

Spirit Pride or more of arrogance - one's perceived spiritual knowledge, experiences, or gifts can lead to:
Contempt for others: When someone believes they have superior spiritual knowledge or experiences, they may develop a sense of superiority. This can lead to looking down on others who don’t share their level of understanding or practice. It’s essential to remain humble and recognize that everyone’s spiritual journey is unique.
Refusal to learn: Spiritually prideful individuals might resist correction or guidance because they believe they already possess all necessary knowledge. However, true growth comes from a willingness to learn, be corrected, and remain open to new insights.
Seeking recognition: Instead of seeking God’s glory, some people with spirit pride may crave attention and praise for their spiritual achievements. This focus on self-recognition can hinder genuine spiritual growth and connection with the divine.
Deception: Spirit pride can indeed lead to deception. When someone is overly confident in their spiritual experiences, they may misinterpret signs, messages, or feelings. This can result in self-deception or misleading others.
These attitudes, while not necessarily direct blasphemy, can create a barrier to the Holy Spirit's work in their lives and in the lives of others. They may hinder spiritual growth and lead to a distorted understanding of God's grace.
If someone recognizes their pride and its harmful effects, they can seek God's grace and experience transformation.
Repentance involves acknowledging one's sin, turning away from it, and seeking God's forgiveness. It's a process of humility and submission to God's authority. Through repentance, even those who have exhibited pride and spiritual arrogance can experience the Holy Spirit's work in their lives and be restored to a relationship with God.
Conclusion: It's clear that pride can lead to attitudes and actions that hinder the Holy Spirit's work. By cultivating humility, seeking God's guidance, and acknowledging our limitations, we can avoid the pitfalls of pride and experience the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
Proverbs 11:2 - When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.

Wow.. sobrang haba pero based sa summary mo sinasabi mo na kailangan natin minsan-minsanan maging masaya sa buhay

 

[Asherah Goddess]

Ang pride is nakakatulong. Self-respect poh siya. Self-confidence. Self-esteem. Kutob ko, mga religious people, literal na religious ha? Eh wala silang self-confidence na mag-apply sa trabaho para kumita ng pera poh or sa ibang sitwasyon. Mababa din ang self-esteem nito at lagi mababa ang tingin sa self. Also, sila din ata ang gusto api-apihin at hindi lumalaban na keyso God raw ang magiging lakas at powers sa kanila.

Ewan ko kung mabuti ba iyan o masama. Naku. Religious country ang bansang Pilipinas, kapag inatake tayo na malalakas na bansa, ewan ko na lang. Siguro sa sobrang religious natin , patay na tayo lahat at hindi tayo lumalaban dahil sa concept na pinagpala ng Diyos ang naaapi.

Masyado idealistic. Hindi na realistic.

Halimbawa, mag aapply sa call center or any prestige company. Kailangan talaga ay malakas ang confidence mismo to get what they want. Goal oriented and ambitious. Kaya pala, meron ako nakita facebook user na ni reject siya ng job interview from company ng call center, nanghinayang na siya ng loob pero religious iyon dahil panay siya God ng God in the comment poh.

Observation ko lang.

Kaya pala ang mga philosophical satanist , reverse diyan sa bible or Christian poh. Self-confidence poh ay associated sa pride para makapag navigate in a real world versus some Christian na mababa ang tingin sa self na hindi makapag navigate sa tunay na mundo.

Para maiwasan siguro ang pride na iyan, magkumbento na lang siya para kain, tulog at dasal na lang siya as in.

Also pride is a sin din at meron rin cons. Like, kapag sinabi na sin is because mataas ang guilt nila dahil kapag meron consequence of action na hindi nito gusto ay maaaring andoon ang regret like for example, on war, ma pride poh sila kaya andoon nag war ang magkabilaan na group but the consequnce of action is madami din ang namatay during war. Mga ganun, kaya natawag siya na sin dahil andoon ang regret na kung walang war, wala sana mamamatay.

Yung bible, ewan ha? Haha, parang tinuturuan tayo maging masochistic. Ang definition is masaya siya na pinapahiya at sinasaktan.

Mas mabuti-buti pa ata ang Buddhist. For me. I mean when it comes to kung fu na associated sa Buddhism. Meron monk from Buddhism na knows martial arts. Eh meron kilalaman sa spirituality din kasi kaya nagtetraining din sila but they do not use it for violence. They use it only for defend pero sa Christian ata is okay na mamatay sila na inaapi sila because there is God.

Monk kasi nila doon is dinidefend nila ang tao na inaapi na helpless at inaabuso. Mag iintervene ang monk to protect. Sa Christian naman is they will die in vain. Wala rin kakayahan magprotect ang mga pastor or priest kahit sino na meron authority in a church sa mga tao na naaapi. All they do is pray hanggang mamatay sa api and it is okay for them because God daw ang magbibigay ng lakas sa kanila.

====================

Dagdag ko lang. Ang Judaism at Christianism ay hindi ata sila nagkakaintindihan. Ang tingin kasi ng mga Jewish kay Jesus Christ ay siya ito nagpa-blasphemy sa true God. Sa Christian naman ay ang tingin naman nila sa Judaism ay sila ito nagpa-blasphemy to Jesus which is consider a God or some consider as God's messenger poh. Eh. Same lang poh dalawa na group na meron ipinaglalaban poh dahil promise, haha, from the past up to present days natin ngayon , hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin nagbabati ang Judaism at Christianism poh. Pulitika nga naman. Haha. Oldest monotheistic religion ang Judaism poh and still now, hindi pa rin sila naniniwala kay Jesus Christ poh.

You know? Nagtuturuan silang two groups kung sino raw ang blasphemy sa kanilang true God. Hay. Bahala sila magkagulo diyan. Haha. Mabuti pa ang non-abrahamic. Nananahimik sila sa kanilang paniniwala.

But ito ang interesting. Ang morality ng Christian is galing Judaism poh. Hindi lang sila nagkaintindihan sa true God dahil nasa sacred text poh kasi ng Judaism na kung baga contradictory raw si Jesus na nagkiclaim na messenger ng God or siya raw ang messiah poh sapagkat hindi raw align si Jesus sa mismong sacred text na meron sila in Judaism poh, kung kaya hindi nila pinapaniwalaan si Jesus Christ. Naniniwala pa rin sila sa true God na only God and directly to God but not Jesus Christ poh. E si Jesus is also a jew at namatay din siya as a jew and so, dati na hindi pa nabubuo ang Christianism , ang winoworship ni Jesus is God ng Judaism poh. Ang tingin ng mga jews is Jesus ay false prophet.

Parang same siya sa present days natin. E diba, dami rin nagtuturuan na kung sino raw ang false prophet. Meron Quiboloy, sino pa? Ellie Soriano, sino pa? I mean, ewan ko sa kanila. Dami-dami nila nagtuturuan na false prophet kuno at keyso false religion, ay ewan nga naman.

Pagkatapos ito pa. Sumingit naman ang Islam. Prophet daw si Jesus. O diba? Ang gulo na nila. Prophet si Jesus sa Islam. False prophet si Jesus sa Judaism. God's messenger raw si Jesus in some Christian and also, ang ibang Christian, sabi naman ay God daw si Jesus. Madami na ina associate kung sino si Jesus.

[NOUGHT]

Ganyan naman po kasi talaga ang mga simbahan. Lahat ng makita kong simbahan, they keep saying they are the right church, join them and be saved, for there is no other true church. Kahit yung MCGI na nakikita ko as preaching the word of God ay ganyan din naman ang sinasabi. Ngayong napakalawak ng buong mundo, ibig sabihin ba niyan yung ibang simbahan ay hindi maliligtas dahil mali ang tinuturo nilang aral? Ano ba naman pinagkaiba nila sa ibang church kung pareho lang ang claims nila? Balibaliktarin man nila ang pagkakasabi, ganun din ang ibig sabihin. Kung iisipin mo lang, ganun ang sinasabi ng INC pero lantaran at literal, walang masking. Pero ganun din ang sinabi ng MCGI, pero indirect na kailangan mong sumapi sa kanila para maligtas ka. Habang ang sinasabi ng Catholic ay to respect, pero ano bang sinasabi nila tungkol sa kaligtasan? Masasabi kaya nila na tama ang ibang aral? Malamang hindi, di ba? Tapos sasabihin nila na mali yung tinuturo nila. So pare-pareho lang. Pare-pareho lang sila ang maliligtas, sila lang ang hinirang. Pero sa tingin ko, ang tunay na maliligtas ay ang born again, pero hindi ko tinutukoy ang Born Again church, but the born again in the Bible. Maliligtas sila na gumagawa ng will ng Diyos.

1 Corinthians 1:12-13
What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas "; still another, "I follow Christ." Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?

The Christians are divided but the Saints are not.
