Abstract

It is an Essential in the Christian Way of Life to develop Humility as a virtue in order to be teachable and to accumulate Bible Doctrine into the soul. Humility is developed in 3 categories under 3 systems: • Organizational Humility developed as a result of being in some organization or group beginning with the family unit. • Enforced Humility developed as a result of being under the authority of some other individual person or group or in an organization of some sort. • Genuine Humility developed as a result of proper function and orientation to both organizational and enforced humility and is almost completely dependent on self discipline. Enforced and Genuine Humility are seen as virtue when a person responds to authority and tries to do a good job even and especially when the authority over him is unfair. For the Christian this is the visible influence of invisible Metabolized Bible Doctrine in the Stream of Consciousness of the soul. This occurs for the believer with Positive Volition toward Bible Doctrine and for the unbeliever who functions under the doctrinal principles of the Laws of Divine Establishment and Divine Institutions. Vulnerability to distraction, failure, and ultimately focus on Non-Essentials in life can only be combated through Humility
