Pride

Hey all. I have a quick question. Are there any places in the Bible where God exhibits pride? I'm just wondering because I have a Christian telling me that God hates pride (and that I have a lot of it - lol). But I'm sure that in the Bible, God exhibits as much pride as he does jealousy. Anyone got any Bible quotes on hand?

Here's a site that, although humorous, has some interesting info.

It is over a decade since I have read more than a snippet of the Bible, but I seem to remember him announcing that he was "well pleased" with Jesus (?just after Jesus was baptised by John?)

Anyways, it is natural for God to be proud, because he made everything, and saw that it was good. :-)

Whereas everyone else is a sinner, and what good they *do* do, they can thank the creator for initiating in the first place.

Thanks be to God!

I believe god showed pride when we created the earth and whatnot (Genesis)
