A theist is someone who believes in God. An atheist is someone who doesn't believe in God. What pride, liberty and individualism does is place self over everyone in the world. What happens without Yahuah Elohiym, the God of this Universe and beyond, is that people conform to the talking points of what they hear. If they hear Liberal talking points they will be Liberal. If they hear the words of a cult, they will become cult members. This is why groups without Yahuah Elohiym try to silence others by theft, destruction and death. Pride, liberty and individualism are at the heart of war.
Let's define liberty. Liberty is free from oppression. But if someone tries to impress their neighbors, that is passive oppression in my opinion. Liberty is also being free from adversaries. If it's all about self, you are an adversary to your neighbors.
Liberty is make-believe. It doesn't exist. Helping yourself to riches and power, you are still a servant. You are a slave to the grand manipulator or a slave to the Word of Yahuah Elohiym. The question is, who is manipulating you? Do you serve your flesh? If you do you serve Satan because he corrupted your flesh through Adam. If you serve Yahuah Elohiym through Yahusha Hamashia, you serve God's Word.
Now we are down to pride and Individualism. The question is, does Individualism exist? The answer is no. Individualism does not exist in the real world. Individualism is make-believe. From the time you were born, you gave up the sound you made in trade for a language you heard. You only choose another second language. Then it's not a language of your own. It's simply something you heard.
If someone promotes a cause, it's not a cause that they came up with. It's a cause that someone else was doing, handed down from the neighborhood over time. The answer is not making everyone think the same. The answer is unity in diversity. What holds neighbors or nations together from civil war is Loving your neighbors like how Yahusha Hamashia said to do. It's not about self. It's about being a collective society for the common good. The common good is not special interest. The heart of being an American is We the People. We the People is not one chosen voice telling everyone how to think or telling everyone to be an individual. It's not giving mixed messages of being an individual or a puppet of society. We must be an individual using discernment because of the many messages trying to control us. Yahusha is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
This leaves one very real thing, PRIDE. Pride is puffed up. It gives the feeling self importants. The opposite of Pride is Meek. It doesn't matter if you are a pompous jerk or a meek person. Both have the chance and choice to advance in a free society. It's the oppression in society that makes life unfair and without compassion. Pride and oppression go hand in hand. Meek doesn't associate with oppression. Meek has a friend with the compassionate. Compassion and oppression cannot coexist together in the same person. Being meek doesn't say you are weak. It's the meek that have an awareness of wisdom, understanding and council. The oppressive only have knowledge, corrupted wisdom and anger.
Pride, liberty and individualism is Satan worship unwittingly. These people may be your neighbor doing the same thing you are, like doing Christmas. We say Merry Christmas to this neighbor but avoid the neighbor not like your self. Life isn't saying Merry Christmas once a year and being friendly among friends. Compassion is little things like helping a person, not similar to yourself. Just by helping them with getting them to their destination without compensation is compassion .
In simple English, being the oppressive adversary or following one is stupid. Being cunning or following a con artist is stupid. Wisdom, knowledge and understanding will overcome the cunning oppressive adversary. How or why you might ask. It is because our consciousness is not alone. We are in touch with the Spirit of Yahuah. Even in death we are not defeated. By being the cunning oppressive adversary the consciousness is flesh deep. The master of your flesh is desire. The author of your desires is the fallen Cherub Heylel BenSahar, known as Satan.
I deleted two blogs. This one replaced both of them. It's not time and lengthy commentaries that win the day. Sometimes it is the unexpected inspiration that wins the day.
