No. I said that as a Christian Christ is the source of our humility and this humility stems from our understanding that Christ created all that is, all that we are, with the ability to have humility and finally know that he came and showed humility to lower himself as a mere man and die for our sins, which was omething we did not deserve.
That is not true. All over the world and throughout time, humble people exist who are not Christian.

I think you are getting God confused with abortion loving Progressives.

Originally posted by apathistRead any part of, or all of the teachings of Jesus Christ, and tell me if anything Jesus says resembles what Whodey says. You will find them to be completely opposite. To make it easier start with Matt 5, 6 and 7 and tell me what Jesus says.
Chapters and verses please. I need the ammunition.
Even in the Old Testament we find passages like these saying that God hates evil
These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. (Proverbs 6:16-19 KJV)
God hates, pride, lies, murderers, wicked minds, mischief makers, liars, gossipers.
God loves righteousness and the righteous. Nowhere does the Bible say that people cannot be righteous without Jesus Christ.
Psa_11:7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
Psa_146:8 .. the LORD loveth the righteous:
2Co 9:7 .. for God loveth a cheerful giver.
