Proverbs 16:18-19 Isaiah 14:12-15 1 Corinthians 4:7 Why is pride sinful?Pride is giving ourselves the credit for something that God has accomplished.Pride is taking the glory that belongs to God alone and keeping it for ourselves.Pride is essentially self worship.

It shows up in criticism, comparing things is also evidence of pride, even when your having a hard time saying sorry to someone is a indication of having pride. And yes pride will destroy a person.

I think this particular verse is directed toward Bishops or leaders of the church; not necessarily christians; but Christians like myself have to tame it for sure; Ive not completed that task yet.

I think this particular verse is directed toward Bishops or leaders of the church; not necessarily christians; but Christians like myself have to tame it for sure; Ive not completed that task yet. The context of this verse has to do with listing the qualifications of an elder or overseer of a church body. 1 Tim 3:6 is directed to a young or "recent convert" i.e. new Christian as indicated by the word "convert" - in other words, a new believer. The warning is that a new believer must not be an elder in the church lest he become conceited and fall prey to the sin of pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
