PRIDE DEFLATOR
Luke 18:13, And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. Luke 18:11-12, The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are , extortionist, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I possess. Isaiah 64:6, But we are all as an unclean thing , and all our righteous nesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Those who have acquired the mind of Christ through desires and seeking [for those who seek shall find] may have discovered that one thing that puts God off from us like other iniquities, is PRIDE. God hates pride and those who have appeared before him with a handbook of qualifications often go home empty. Cross check the opening Bible verses....
