(by humans) That would be hilarious if you were joking. Unfortunately, I think you are being completely serious. Let me make a quick argument from the Bible. Among the many verses warning against pride in the Bible, James 4:6 says: Quote “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact they are the least of all in terms of character. It's not a surprise the scriptures placed them as one of the worst types of ideology.

Regardless of whether or not the claim is warranted (and I think his track record speaks for itself on this matter), making the claim pretty much negates the actual claim.

Regardless of whether or not the claim is warranted (and I think his track record speaks for itself on this matter), making the claim pretty much negates the actual claim. It may be 'pride'. But if it's true in a particular context then it's not. And what if it was a jab? The President is pretty cagey and likes to poke at his opposition. That could be all it is but I don't know, I haven't talked to him. He certainly isn't one for false humility and he is a shameless self promoter, narcissistic, got some psychotic tendencies, etc. That can be said of a great many people and most every leader the world has ever seen. But he channels all that for good. He does very good things and has accomplished so much for the people of this country. I think the quote has everything to do with people humbling themselves before our Father and all that entails. Possibly it has a broader application but I'll stick with the spiritual aspect of eternal consequences of refusing the gifts and promises of our Lord God through the pride of life.
