 | | Jesus made no distinction between pride and murder: "Mark:7:21: For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders," ":7:22: Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:" Herein is one of the great truths of Scripture: there are no differing degrees of sin, big and small. |
 | | Foolish pride is what keeps otherwise sensible people from "getting over" the hurts of life, and going on as before -wiser, stronger, more determined than ever to walk as Jesus walked! |
 | | Pride is what drives men and women to commit murder when they cannot have the wife or husband or lover they want. |
