THE WORST SIN, EASIEST SIN, & DEADLIEST SIN--IS PRIDE

THE DEADLIEST SIN IS PRIDE

These religious leaders and all the people that followed them, which was the majority of the population of Israel, had on the outside said no to a lot of fleshly behaviors.

They said no to outward violations of the Ten Commandments. They said no to adultery, sins of the flesh, lying, murder, and lusts that manifested themselves in wicked behaviors, these are the forbidden sins. These are the open sins. They gladly restrained themselves from those on the outside. They could say with the rich, young ruler, “All of these laws have I kept from my youth up.”

You say, “Well how can sinners do that?” Because pride, spiritual pride, is such a self-satisfying sin that it makes up for all that you have to forfeit. Listen, spiritual pride is like an aphrodisiac, it's like a drug.

Spiritual pride is a high, walking around in overtly spiritual pretense in the way you dress and the way you conduct yourself and making outward pretenses and outward prayers and outward acts of manifest fasting, making an issue out of your giving for all to see.

That's what they did. They found so much personal satisfaction in spiritual pride that they were willing to let other behaviors go. Spiritual pride is a very, very powerful, powerful sin. It's also a damning sin.

Always difficult to know if good works and kind deeds are being done because the love of Jesus is showing in someone’s life, or they’re doing to works to be seen and praised of men.

I wanted to say you’re a great teacher. I know you’ve devoted a lot of time studying and praying and God has given 0:16 you much understanding. Thank you for studying and teaching. I’m like that too. I can’t seem to get enough of God. I can’t imagine not having Him in my life. I want to know everything about Him!

Doth' Dr B. practise thy preach? Matthew 23:3.

Lucifer was stripped of all but pride and it went through him like a dose of salts!! Truly the most devastating sin of all!! as through reasoned alibies it opens the door to All other sin!

Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof. And from such people turn away 2 Timothy 3:5.

Now, I am a firm believer of walking as close to GOD as possible.

Here's a Biblical example:
When pregnant Mary (with baby JESUS) met with her cousin Elizabeth the baby (John the Baptist) leaped in her womb.
And it happened the moment when Elizabeth (pregnant with John the Baptist) had came in close contact with JESUS. And immediately John was filled with the HOLY GHOST.

Many Christains desires a mighty move of GOD in their midst and or a manifestations of the HOLY SPIRIT but until we love mercy, do justly and humbly walk close with GOD--> we will not experience the fullness of GOD and HIS HOLY SPIRIT.

Why is their leader’s teaching and misguidance attached to your videos as an ad?

Women pastors do have an air of arrogance about them toward men.

Do trees, all animals, all creation worship and praise God. I ask because when Jesus rode into Jerusalem, I think it was the Pharisees that told Jesus to quiet his disciples and Jesus said if I did that the rocks would cry out. I would think all creation worships God. Just curious.
