EVER NOTICE THAT PRIDE IS MENTIONED FIRST…

Think about this…

God hates pride just as much as lying, abortion, murderers, devious schemes, eagerness to commit evil, being a false, and sowing discord among those who are close.

We don’t define what God hates the most based on what we hate the most.

We don’t define the narrative of which sins are most detestable and which aren’t.

Remember God was so pissed off at those who forsook His day of rest, He commanded they be stoned. This was an example. That seems like a minor sin today, as many ‘put off’ work they could do any other day for The Lord’s Day.

There is a reason that God listed Pride first among the 7 deadly sins…so many other sins emanate from it.

Proverbs 6:16-19 (NKJV)

¹⁶These six things the Lord hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to ^[a]Him:
¹⁷^(A)A^[b] proud look,
^(B)A lying tongue,
^(C)Hands that shed innocent blood,
¹⁸^(D)A heart that devises wicked plans,
^(E)Feet that are swift in running to evil,
¹⁹^(F)A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who ^(G)sows discord among brethren.
