inurmind: chai! empty thread, Christians sure do love worldly stuff.

inurmind: no problem , I'll ignore it like every other person has, including the people it's meant for

Mee234:
tank you very much. I am not interested in your monologue of 'christians are dis and dat'

inurmind:

But that's the gospel truth.

Mee234:
No bros. It is only true for deluded persons who are looking for excuse their failure.

Delafruita: its been three days and no single response from those persons who arent deluded.what a pity

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

Verse 16 of the chapter you quoted.

E_monkey:

lol.

I also want to understand what is meant by, 'is not of the Father, but is of the world'.
I think it mean those things are not for His glory.

How can these things not be of the father? Who created them?

Mee234:
ok. The pride of life.................. My problem is 'when we Christians draw the line'? What exactly is pride of life? Lust of the flesh i understand a little but pride of life. If one is not proud about the life he/she is living, that life is not worth living.

1. Feeling pleasurable satisfaction over an act, possession, quality, or relationship by which one measures one's stature or self-worth

2. Occasioning or being a reason for pride

3. Feeling or showing justifiable self-respect.

4. Filled with or showing excessive self-esteem.

5. Of great dignity; honored: a proud name.

6. Majestic; magnificent: proud alpine peaks.

7. Spirited. Used of an animal: proud steeds.

Pride is an inwardly directed emotion that carries two common meanings.

With a negative connotation, pride refers to an inflated sense of one's personal status or accomplishments, often used synonymously with hubris.

With a positive connotation, pride refers to a satisfied sense of attachment toward one's own or another's choices and actions, or toward a whole group of people, and is a product of praise, independent self-reflection, or a fulfilled feeling of belonging

Pride is sometimes viewed as excessive or as a vice, sometimes as proper or as a virtue
