Those types 'pride' (accomplishments) are okay if they are pleasing to God and conscience. If we acknowledge God as the chief cause.

Like I said, we need a new word, someone didn't do us a favor by letting the word be used for a lawful sense of accomplishment (only as it pleases, or is pleasing, to God, and doesn't violate conscience).

So our debate is really about semantics. And we're splitting hairs when we should be focusing on those sins that damn one's soul.

All sins do but some are worse than others, in a sense of degree. I guess Romanists would use the terms venial and mortal.

>Just like them we'll water down language until it's lost all original meaning, all due to ideology>>

Right, see my comment above.

What's your vice?

And if you yourself find them pleasing? After all one can accomplish without feeling pride. Like a machine, not human.

And what about accomplishments like getting rich? Or powerful?

The Lord's people will find accomplishments pleasing if they please God. That's lawful.

But anything done without faith is actually just self-pleasing, so, as the puritans say, it is a sin for a heathen man to pray and a sin for him not to.

It's complicated. We won't have all the answers this side of eternity (but let's actually get to eternity), believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.

Before Constantinople was renamed to Istanbul, this might had been the last thought of the Christians over there.

And when the west dies, because it can't feel pride about itself and stop loving the weak, this might be the last thoughts of many Christians here too.

Judeo-Christianity is a sick ideology to comfort losers. Shaming the successful and strong is just part of making losers feel better about themselves.
