Wearing Shameful Pride
Every Month of the Year
Jer 6:15 “Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No! They
were not at all ashamed; Nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall
fall among those who fall; At the time I punish them, They shall be cast
down," says the LORD.
They were not ashamed but when Jeremiah applied God’s
Word they were perverted!
There is no approval of Pride Month by God, Christ,
or the Holy Spirit in the scriptures He revealed. It can’t be justified for our
observance because it is in the social sphere, or by a government—city, state,
or national, or because an authoritative body in a corporation says to, or
because of a school says observe it. Any religious body that says so is full of
liars!

Sinful Pride In The Heart Leads To
Rejecting God’s Word (Pro 18:12).
Pro 18:12 Before destruction the heart of a man is
haughty, And before honor is humility.
·
Pride Goes Before Eternal Destruction (Pro 16:18).
Pro
16:18 “Pride goes
before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.”
> “destruction” [H7667]
This is suffering due to disobedience to
God.
Eternal death
is where this Pride ends:
Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to
retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to
do those things which are not fitting;
Rom 1:29 being filled with all
unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness;
full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are
whisperers,
Rom 1:30 backbiters, haters of God, violent,
proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31 undiscerning, untrustworthy,
unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;
Rom 1:32 who, knowing the righteous judgment
of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do
the same but also approve of those who practice them.
·
God’s Word Rebukes The Proud (Psa 119:21).
Psa 119:21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed,
which do err from thy commandments.
Preaching the Word the way
it should be to serve God not man involves rebuking, reproving, and exhorting
(2 Tim 4:2).“Rebuke” [G2008] Strong’s: to tax upon, that is, censure or admonish;
by implication forbid: - (straitly) charge, rebuke. Also, “reprove” [G1651] Strong’s: to confute, admonish: - convict, convince, tell a fault, rebuke,
reprove. You find “exhort” [G3572] Thayer: 2) to address, speak to, (call to, call
upon), which may be done in the way of exhortation, entreaty, comfort,
instruction.
·
God Resists The Proud! (Ja 4:6).
Christians had made
themselves friends of the world, and made themselves enemies of God! They must
repent!
Jas 4:1 Where do wars and fights come from
among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your
members?
Jas 4:2 You lust and do not have. You murder
and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you
do not ask.
Jas 4:3 You ask and do not receive, because
you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.
Jas 4:4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you
not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore
wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
Jas 4:5 Or do you think that the Scripture
says in vain, "The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously"?
Jas 4:6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He
says: "GOD RESISTS THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE."
Jas 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the
devil and he will flee from you.
Jas 4:8 Draw near to God and He will draw near
to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you
double-minded.
Jas 4:9 Lament and mourn and weep! Let your
laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.
Jas 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the
Lord, and He will lift you up.

When Pride Comes Shame Comes With It (Pro 11:2).
Pro 11:2 When pride comes,
then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.
·
Pride Is A Part Of The Way (Course Of Life) Of The
Wicked That Is An Abomination Unto The LORD (Pro 15:9).
Pro
15:9 The way of the
wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But He loves him who follows
righteousness.
> “abomination” [H8441]
something disgusting (morally)… (as noun) an abhorrence;
especially idolatry or (concretely) an idol:
Some things are to be
detested: Abomination [H8441] is from H8581:
to loathe, that is,
(morally) detest: - (make to be) abhor (-red), (be, commit more, do)
abominable (-y), X utterly.
Abomination is
used for activities of the wicked in worship (Pro 21:27); homosexual behavior
(Lev 18:22); wickedness being abhorred (Pro 8:7).
The way of the wicked leads
to destruction:
Mat 7:13 "Enter by the narrow gate; for
wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction,
and there are many who go in by it.
Mat 7:14 Because narrow is the gate and
difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find
it.
The Word
“Walk” In The New Testament Is Much Like “Way” In The Old Testament.
Eph 5:8 “For you were
once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of
light.”
Being “once darkness”
refers to the past when we had no forgiveness of sins. At baptism we were
delivered from the power of darkness and conveyed into Christ’s kingdom (Col
1:13-14, 2:9-14).
To Walk As
Children Of Light All Plans Are Established By God’s Word By Seeking The
Kingdom And His Righteousness “First” (Matt 6:33). The Kingdom Comes At The
First Of Everything!
> Matt
6:33 “first” [G4412] firstly (in time, place, order, or importance): -
before, at the beginning, chiefly, (at, at the) first (of all).
God Prepared
From Eternity, Before The Foundation Of The World, The Good Works We Must Walk
In:
Eph 1:3 Blessed be the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual
blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
Eph 1:4 just as He chose us in
Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without
blame before Him in love, …
Eph 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good
works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
We must walk
in the Truth having received His commandments (2 Jo 1:4).
This Walk Is
According To Sound Doctrine, Upholding Sound Doctrine In Word, And By Sound
Doctrine Doing Every Good Deed Given In Righteousness:
According To
Sound Doctrine:
2Ti 4:1
I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will
judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:
2Ti 4:2
Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke,
exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine,
but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they
will heap up for themselves teachers;
2Ti 4:4
and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside
to fables.
In Every Good
Word And Work:
2Th
2:16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who
has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by
grace,
2Th
2:17 comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and
work.
Being Zealous
For Good Works Given Applies To All Christians Not Just Elders And Preachers:
Tit
2:11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all
men,
Tit
2:12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should
live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,
Tit
2:13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God
and Savior Jesus Christ,
Tit
2:14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless
deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good
works.
Tit
2:15 Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no
one despise you. (Cf. Titus 1:9, 2:1).
Affirming
Carefulness In Thought Constantly To Maintain Good Works:
Tit
3:8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm
constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain
good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
When one
mocks God’s word they are in darkness. A Christian promoting
darkness claiming fellowship with Christ is a Liar! (I Jo
1:5-6).
The Works Of
Darkness Are Easy To Identify And Are To Be Exposed.
Eph 5:11 And
have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
The context
in Eph 5 tells us to be imitators of God in our walk (Eph 5:1-2), and names the
unfruitful works of the flesh to be exposed!
“The emperor
has no clothes on!”
Ho hum, it’s
Pride Month and even if I have an opportunity to rebuke sinful LGBT+ I can’t
afford to. LGBTQ+ is perversion! Because of the evil power in D.E.I. promoting
Trans Lies people have lived in fear of
social repercussion on themselves and their family. They fear authority at work
enforcing D.E.I. against one’s own conscience and religious beliefs!
“The emperor
has no clothes on!” Stand Up!
2Ti 1:7 For God has
not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Groups, Movements, And
Political Parties Filled With Those Who Join Together In Great Numbers Will
Each Individually Get God’s Vengeance In The Judgment Day! (Rom 2:5-10). Those
Groups Push Others Around With The Fear Of Going Against The Majority!
Those
“Groups” Can Be All The Liars At Work That Will Try And Set Christians Up To
Trap Them And Get Them Fired!
·
Pro 16:5 “Everyone that is proud of heart is an abomination
to the Lord, and though hand join in hand, they shall not be unpunished.”
You Put
Yourself With Them When You Justify Them! (Pro 29:27).
·
Pro
29:27 An
unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, And he who is
upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
Those Who Do
Not Like To Retain The Knowledge Of God Are Filled All Kinds Of
Unrighteousness—Being Proud Is In That List!
Rom
1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their
knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are
not fitting;
Rom
1:29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality,
wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit,
evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,
Rom
1:30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil
things, disobedient to parents,
Rom
1:31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving,
unmerciful;
Rom
1:32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice
such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of
those who practice them.
Pride Goes
With The Homosexual & Lesbian Abomination (Lev 18:22; Rom 1:22-27; Rev
21:8).
Lev
18:22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an
abomination.
Rom
1:22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,
Rom
1:23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made
like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping
things.
Rom
1:24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of
their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,
Rom
1:25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served
the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Rom
1:26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their
women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
Rom
1:27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned
in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and
receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
Rev 21:7 He who overcomes shall
inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall
be My son.
Rev 21:8 But the cowardly,
unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters,
and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and
brimstone, which is the second death."
The Woke Cause Themselves To Be
Disgraced!
> “Abominable” in Rev 21:8 means
“to emit a foul odor, to stink, to turn away through loathing or disgust,
abhor.” They will be cast into the lake of fire (Cf. Rev 21: 8, 27).
·
Pride Goes With The Lying Lips
Abomination (Pro 12:22; Pro 6:16-19).
Pro 12:22 Lying lips are
an abomination to the LORD, But those who deal truthfully are His
delight.
All Liars
Will Have Their Part In Hell.
Rev 21:8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral,
sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which
burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
Mr. Big Burly Dude who
wants to be called a woman—claims a name that is a woman’s that makes him even
more despicable—wearing a dress, carrying a purse, aching to be seen by others.
He destroys his marriage with his abominable pride!
The Little Woman who wants
to be called a man—she goes through transitioning at all costs and then says,
“I’m a man!” Oh sure, cry aloud! Tell the world your lie!
·
Pride Goes With The Perverse Heart
Abomination (Pro 11:20).
Pro 11:20 Those who are of a perverse heart are an
abomination to the LORD, But the blameless in their ways are His
delight.
> “perverse” [H6141]
crooked, distorted, or false.
Before Destruction A Man’s Or Woman’s Perverse Heart
Lacks Honor Before God. Perverse Hearts Pervert Justice!
Medical Field: In Tenn.
the ban on trans meds for children to help them transition was upheld by the
Supreme Court—three Supreme Court
Judges dissented and argued discrimination based on sex because male children
can receive meds that help them look like boys, but females can’t receive meds
that help them look like boys. This promotes perversion. The meds are to help
the boys. We have corrupted Supreme Court Judges!
Medical Field: Perverse hearts are covetous
idolatrous love of money hearts! there is big $ in trans!
Brethren: Brethren have covetous,
abominable, prideful hearts when bragging about their accrued investments—but
then average around $20 a week in God’s investment He set up for the treasury
of the local church—for those who really want to lay up treasure in heaven!
Brethren: Covetousness can be more
than the love of money. The “vain glory of life” (I Jo 2:16) includes love of
the world as it relates to position, praise, status, wealth, and things pursued
for pleasures. Members have covetous prideful perverse hearts when not putting
the kingdom “first” with the trembling fear of God but second to family,
friends, work, education, vacations, pleasures, and retirement! And that is
what forsaking assembling is about---counting the blood of Christ shed for our
sins as a common thing! (Heb 10:23-31). And not withdrawing fellowship when
necessary! (2 Th 3:6, 14; Rom 16:17-18).
Brethren: The “vain glory of life” (I
Jo 2:16) is love of the world as it relates to position, praise, status,
wealth, and other desires. Our brethren had covetous prideful perverse hearts
when they started building human societies that intrude into the works God gave
the churches. It was simply the difference in respecting the authority of God’s
Word and I feel like it’s Ok. Florida College was planned far in advance and
was the product of human pride and a desire to be like the Liberals who divided
the church. It was big names in the brotherhood, big money, and a big Apostasy
repeating itself! And that pride is
still promoted to this day!
·
Pride Belongs To Fools Who Consider It
An Abomination To Depart From Their Prideful Way (Pro 13:19).
Pro 13:19 A desire
accomplished is sweet to the soul, But it is an abomination to fools to
depart from evil.
The
Abominable Just Can’t Break From The Abominations Of D.E.I.!
With Toxic
Empathy they are killing addicts by giving them the drugs they want. Now
they’re working Abominable Toxic Happiness or Positivity that destroys
lives!
·
Pride Goes With Thoughts Abominations
Of The Wicked (Pro 15:26).
Pro 15:26 The thoughts of the wicked
are an abomination to the LORD, But the words of the pure are
pleasant.
Jesus Taught Evil Thoughts Come Out Of
The Heart. Notice What Comes.
Mar 7:20 And He said, "What comes
out of a man, that defiles a man.
Mar 7:21 For from within, out of the
heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Mar 7:22 thefts, covetousness,
wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
Mar 7:23 All these evil things come
from within and defile a man."
In the past administration government appointees
who were men dressed like women—they looked ridiculous.
How about a so called non-binary man
wearing a red dress, with a bald head, lips painted with think red lipstick,
and a mustache painted red!
Libraries pushed for drag queen story
time freaks to read to children!
Men who were top brass in our military sat in
meetings wearing skirts with legs crossed and showing off thighs!
Advertisements feature medicines for VD with two
queers trying to flirt—like two “like poles” of magnets trying to attract!
·
Pride Goes With The Abomination Prayer
Of The Wicked (Pro 28:9).
Pro 28:9 One who turns away
his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination.
·
Pride Goes With Their Justifying The
Wicked While Condemning The Just (Pro 17:15).
You Put Yourself With Them
When You Justify Them!
Pro 17:15 He who justifies the wicked, and he who
condemns the just, Both of them alike are an abomination to the
LORD.
Everywhere Trans Is There’s Strife! Those Who Love
Trans Love Strife Because The Trans Lie Is Sin! (Pro 17:19).
Pro 17:19 He who loves
transgression loves strife, And he who exalts his gate seeks destruction.
·
Pride Goes With Them Considering The
Righteous To Be An Abomination (Pro 29:27).
Pro 29:27 An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, And he
who is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
Teachers boast
pridefully of defending real boys who say they are Trans and think they have a
right to the girls locker room and showers. The pride trans boys who are real
girls, and the pride trans girls who are real boys are the lying users that
God’s word says they are! They turn out to be the abusers! They abuse
authority, teachers, parents, and other students!
