It looks as tho one of the latest tactics in attacking LGBT+ folks is to say that “pride” is a sin. This is a serious mis-understanding of the Christian meaning of the sin of “pride”. Pride, as in pride in our grades, in our accomplishments, or even how well we “clean up” is part of a healthy self-image. Gay pride, Pride Celebrations, are the the positive statements of people who — for all their lives — have been told they are evil, hated by God, unworthy in every way.
The Christian sin of Pride is (according to the Britannica) “one of the seven deadly sins, considered by some to be the gravest of all sins. In the theological sense, pride is defined as an excessive love of one’s own excellence. As a deadly sin, pride is believed to generate other sins and further immoral behaviour and is countered by the heavenly virtue of humility.”
People who attack other people for having a sense of confidence in themselves, who know themselves to be loved by God, are engaging in the sin of Pride – because they are putting way too much confidence in the excellence of their own understanding of the faith of Jesus.
To Believe is to Care. . . To Care is to Do
