When you feel pride for what you've accomplished, how does Jesus feel?

When you get up in feeling pride for what you've accomplished, how does Jesus feel?

Unfortunately, being a sinful human being, I've taken credit all too many times for the good things or ideas that I've been given. I'm very fortunate that Jesus is very forgiving if we ask Him, because it states clearly in this passage, that God does not like us taking credit for what He's done on our behalf!

Deuteronomy 8: 13 And when thy heards and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; 14 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; 15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint; 16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that He might humble thee, and that He might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end; 17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. 18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. 19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship then, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. 

How does Jesus feel about those who take His Word [the Bible] and turn it around to support whatever point they are trying to justify at the time?

How does Jesus feel about those who take His Word [the Bible] and turn it around to support whatever point they are trying to justify at the time?

That's called taking the Bible out of context, which means that they pull out verses to share with others that sound like they support the particular subject they are talking about. It becomes apparent when you read about a chapter [about a column] before that verse and a chapter after it.

The reason this is so significant to me is that when I was a young adult, a couple did this and used many verses in the Bible out of context to prove my faith in Christ was wrong. I was so confused and went home to look those verses up. When I did so, I found that the literal meaning of the verse by itself may sound like it supported what they said to me, but when I read everything before and after it, it was talking about some war situation or some other unrelated topic to what they said it supported.

If I could get confused by people taking things out of context, then it can happen to anyone! Double Check and make sure that those you listen to, whether it's friends, ministers, TV evangelists, other Christians are using the Bible verses they are quoting accurately and that they really pertain to the topic being discussed according to how it's used in relation to the rest of the chapter in the Bible. 

Revelation 22: 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book, 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away His part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

How Would Jesus Feel About Those In Our Country Who Are Becoming Numb to the Critical and Hateful Actions of Politicians to Those of Other Races, Those Who are Asylum Seekers, or are Innocent Citizens in Countries not Preferred by Ours?

How Would Jesus Feel About Those In Our Country Who Are Becoming Numb to the Critical and Hateful Actions of Politicians to Those of Other Races, Those Who are Asylum Seekers, or are Innocent Citizens in Countries not Preferred by Ours?

In Romans 12: 2 it says: And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. 

Draw your own conclusions...It leaves a lot to be prayerful about!

How Do You Think Jesus Might Feel When We Say, "It Serves Them Right," When Children are Separated from Their Families While They Try to Enter Our Country for Safety or a Better Life?

How Do You Think Jesus Might Feel When We Say, "It Serves Them Right," When Children are Separated from Their Families While They Try to Enter Our Country for Safety or a Better Life?

In Romans 12:14-25 it says: Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 

When we are saying that it serves them right, we are not being the empathetic, caring Christians that Jesus would want!

How does Jesus feel when, so called Christians, follow after those who suggest that they should use the God-power within them to accomplish all their desires?

How does Jesus feel when, so called Christians, follow after those who suggest that they should use the God-power within them to accomplish all their desires?

For God, who commanded the Light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.  But we have this Treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 2 Corinthians 4: 6-7.

I realize that there are many who proclaim to be Christians and try to talk others into using the God-power within them to accomplish things, but that's definitely not what Jesus wants. God wants us to turn to Him in all things, believing that He will give us what is His will. God always sees the BIG PICTURE and knows what is best for us and what is not. Not all the things we pray for are really the best and sometimes there are things even better for us ahead, if we wait for God's timing! There is NOTHING in the Bible, and I've read it from cover to cover many times over the years, that even suggests that Jesus encourages us to use the God-power within us. Anything that might sound remotely like that is from people distorting God's word and using it out of context!

When Our Country Gets even with Other Countries by Waging a Tariff War, How Do You Think Jesus Feel About It?

When Our Country Gets even with Other Countries by Waging a Tariff War, How Do You Think Jesus Feel About It? 

According to the following passage, I don't think that Jesus would be too pleased with it. Additionally, we are putting many farmers and farming related industries in financial jeopardy while we are getting even with other countries by instituting a Tariff War!

In Romans 12: 17-18 It says: Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men
