This is a comment I received for one of my posting. I really would like to share it with all my readers, who spares some time in my blog and I hope you do not mind Steve. This got my attention when I needed a reminding!!!!

Steve Finnell has left a new comment on your post "Pride Goes Before a Fall": 
  • PRIDE IS THE ERADICATOR OF INTELLECT
  • Pride can cause you to appear intellectually challenged. The devil had a pride problem. The devil knew that Jesus was God in the flesh, and he still tried to tempt Jesus to sin. [Matthew 4:1-11]
  • PRIDE CAN CAUSE YOU TO APPEAR INTELLECTUALLY CHALLENGED.
  • Pride destroys the faculty for understanding.
  • Pride hinders the power of discernment.
  • Pride is a road-block to clear thinking.
  • Pride clouds our judgment.
  • Pride restricts our comprehension.
  • Pride causes us to think we are smarter than God.
  • Pride opens the avenue for us to believe man-made doctrine.
  • 2 Peter 3:16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things , in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
  • Pride renders men unteachable and unstable and causes them to distort the truth, and believe the false doctrine of others, to their own destruction.
  • When we study God's word relying on our own understanding; rather than asking God to show us HIS truth we become a victim of are own pride.
  • Proverbs 3:5-7 Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes. Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
  • DO NOT BE WISE IN YOUR OWN EYES.
  • PRIDE IS THE ERADICATOR OF INTELLECT!
(All Scripture quotes from: NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE)
