Question

When exactly does self confidence cross the borderline to become arrogance?

Answer

Think highly of yourself, but not more highly than you ought. Source BiblicalbrbrYes, knowing my place in balance.brbrI can only answer for myself. brMy selfconfidence becomes arrogance when I become the final authority in my own mind. When I am no longer open to hear the still small voice that speaks very loudly, actually, if I am inclined to hear it. brbrThere are two types of arrogance that I have discoveredbrhuman arrogance, or what some would call, earthly andbrspiritual arrogance.brgtgtHuman arrogance, to me, is that Im arrogant if I think I have ALL the answers for myself or for someone else.brgtgtSpiritual arrogance to me is that Im arrogant if I become the FINAL authority on religion, God, the Bible, etc. And again, it also goes to me thinking that I know what is best for someone else.brbrTo me, theres arrogance in being closeminded, if I think Im better than others, no matter how kind I am towards them.brbrMaybe it goes to compassion, on this Q. Without compassion, I can become quite arrogant without even being aware of it. When I become too selfimportant in my own mind as others have said.brbrIve also heard a saying that helps me Humility is knowing my place in God and humiliation the reverse of arrogance is not knowing my place in God.brbrThanks for an interesting Q
