I have a friend that does this and he keeps telling me what a wonderful christian he is so I was wondering is there anything in the bible that talks about this. Also is there anything that talks about needing to be the center of attention and believing that it is ok to yell at scream at others. Please can someone help me on this.
Being too proud of oneself is actually a common mention in the bible in general. You will see many religious leaders in the bible get accused by Jesus Himself.
The verse I think that most directly relates to your request is Luke 18:9-14
"9To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: 10"Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11The Pharisee stood up and prayed about[a] himself: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’
13"But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
14"I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

Please share any verses/passages. For all the God/Christianity/Bible haters out there: any inappropriate answers will be reported.
Thanks in advance everyone!
Look up the words "happy" and "rejoice" (or some variation of those words) and you will see just how exciting the Christian life really is! My favorite is all of Psalm 144, but especially vs.15.
"Happy are the people who are in such a state. Happy are the people whose God is the Lord!"
EDIT– Another great one is Philippians 4:4 which says "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say rejoice!"

It’s in his language and style.
Translation according to their beliefs.
People revere it as if it were infallible.
It’s not called the YHWH bible or the Jesus of the Trinity bible…
Well, all bibles are translations of God’s word from 3 different very ancient languages into a single, presumably understandable language. Because of this, there is no point in titling each and every one of them "The Jesus Bible" or whatever. They’re *all* "The Jesus Bible" (or whatever). To differentiate between translations, some other characteristic of the bible is used instead of the content. It’s exactly the same when multiple translations of any *other* foreign language work are available in a single language. For example, we have the "Lady Guest" Mabinogion, the Davies Mabinogion, etc. etc. These are differentiated by their translator – but most bibles are the product of one or more **teams** of translators, so something other than the translator’s name must be used to differentiate them – and that something is the title given them by the publisher or producer or whoever.

How many Christians know without looking it up what some punishments are that the Bible indicates for breaking the Commandments?
Hint: One of the punishments is mildew.
what are you talking about? There arnt real punishments for breaking a commandment. Everyone breaks one eventually

My limited understanding, just from web searching is that Bible counseling does not apply a psychology and relies only on the Bible and Christian counseling mixes Bible and Psychology. Any counselors or people that have personal experience with either method I would like to hear from you.
Thanks John Runer
Christian psychology is a skilled field and you are dealing with sound credentials .
Peace

How about doing John 11, and the security of salvation in Jesus? Focus is particularly on John 11:25-27.
The website can help explain anything you might want more explanation for

Compared to just looking at our own interests? I need different ways , and Chap. and vs. from Bible.
It’s often a matter of balance. The Bible encourages Christians to mind their own business, and not be busybodies. But at the same time, keep an eye on the interests of others, in the sense of caring for each others needs, and helping them wherever we can to their advantage.
"However, let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a busybody in other people’s matters" – 1 Peter 4:15
"And to make it your aim to live quietly and to mind your own business and work with your hands" – 1 Thessalonians 4:11
Naturally, this is in reference to being a ‘busybody’ and trying to butt into peoples personal interests, for which they do not wish intrusion.
So on the other hand, the Bible does encourage us to ‘look out’ for the interests of others, in the sense that we loyally support our brothers and sisters in the faith. We are not to be aloof, but actively care about our friends in the faith
"doing nothing out of contentiousness or out of egotism, but with lowliness of mind considering that the others are superior to you, keeping an eye, not in personal interest upon just your own matters, but also in personal interest upon those of the others" – Phillipians 2:3,4
In doing this, we do not contradict the counsel in Peter or Thessalonians. We actually work in cooperation with that counsel; in that we seek the advantage of others.
"Let each one keep seeking, not his own [advantage], but that of the other person" – 1 Corinthians 10:24
"On the other hand, we exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, speak consolingly to the depressed souls, support the weak, be long-suffering toward all. See that no one renders injury for injury to anyone else, but always pursue what is good toward one another and to all others" – 1 Thessalonians 5:14,15
