Howling about Hume not Hitchens


http://www.dennyburk.com/howling-about-hume-not-hitchens/
Christianity is first and foremost a faith of humility (Christ was lower than the angels for a time). What Hume spoke was not a conjuring of man, for to claim an elevated position over another’s words without anything outside of one’s self would be prideful. But this is God’s characterizing of himself. Hume was elevating not himself, but God. As Paul said, my boast is in the Lord. As far as Hume recovering as a person, I would say that being persecuted for the sake of righteousness might be what happens.

Proverbs:
The fear of the LORD is the instruction for wisdom, and before honor comes humility.

Acts:
serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials

Ephesians:
with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love,

Job:
When you are cast down, you will speak with confidence and the humble person He will save.

Philippians:
Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;

Colossians:
So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience;

1 Peter
GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.
