Stop Thanking God, and Thank Yourself!

Hello All   

 I am here to say that if you accomplish something great, or recover from some disease, or any number of difficult events in your life. Please stop thanking god. You did it all yourself. And you should be proud of yourself. Not God.

  May I put it another way. Let's say that you are in a car with your best friend, and some drunk driver slams into you head on. You both go to the hospital, and you turn out okay, but your best friend was injured and is now paralysed from the neck down. Would you thank God? If you do then you are a egomaniac to think that you are better than your friend who will live a dismal life for the rest of his/her days.

  Are you better than your friend? What have you done in your life that a God would save you over your friend. Let me say that if you "Thank God" that you were not harmed then you are committing the sin of Vanity. Never thank god for anything. Thank Yourself.

  The Bible tells a different story. It almost seems as if the teachings of the bible want you to be a robot, or a mindless lump of flesh. For instance, I will give you one of the seven "Deadly" sins as examples.

Pride (Latin, superbia), or hubris (Greek), is considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins, and the source of the others. It is identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to acknowledge the good work of others, and excessive love of self (especially holding self out of proper position toward God). Dante's definition was "love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbor." In Jacob Bidermann's medieval miracle play, Cenodoxus, pride is the deadliest of all the sins and leads directly to the damnation of the titulary famed Parisian doctor. In perhaps the best-known example, the story of Lucifer, pride (his desire to compete with God) was what caused his fall from Heaven, and his resultant transformation into Satan. In Dante's Divine Comedy, the penitents were forced to walk with stone slabs bearing down on their backs to induce feelings of humility.

The Tower of Babel was viewed as a construct of pride for Dante

So what the Bible is basically saying is that whatever you accomplish, or create, or do in your life, you must not be proud of that fact, or you will be sentenced to Hell.

Heart Warming! Isn't it?
