Originally posted by Imperial_SamuraI agree totally, the pride that is a sin is defined in Mormon theology as this:
I voted pride simply because it is the only one of them I feel with any great frequency, though to be honest I think pride is a good thing, in moderation.I should be proud when I do something that justifies that pride.
A lack or absence of humility or teachableness. Pride sets people in opposition to each other and to God. A proud person sets himself above those around him and follows his own will rather than God’s will. Conceit, envy, hardheartedness, and haughtiness are also typical of a proud person.Beware that thou forget not the Lord lest thine heart be lifted up, Deut. 8: 11-14. Pride and arrogancy do I hate, Prov. 8: 13 (Prov. 6: 16-17). Pride goeth before destruction, Prov. 16: 18. The day of the Lord shall be upon the proud, Isa. 2: 11-12. The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, Obad. 1: 3. All the proud shall be stubble, Mal. 4: 1. Whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased, Matt. 23: 12. God resisteth the proud, 1 Pet. 5: 5.
