HRE on Pride and me
I will repeat what I have said in the past: there is *nothing* more dangerous to the soul than being really right in a fight. Under the influence of original sin, the sense of justly aggrieved righteousness (not phoney righteousness, but the real deal) is most potent blindness-inducing chemical on the planet. Never ever forget that the people who put Jesus to death were genuine heros who had valiantly labored to protect Judaism from the ravages of Gentile culture and sin. And it was precisely this greatness which blinded them to the fact that they were, like everybody else, capable of real sin.
