09/10/14 PRIDE and ANTISEMITISM
Pride is thinking more highly of oneself than you ought to think; it is exaggerated or inordinate or extreme self esteem; haughtiness or arrogance. Pride is an internal sin, or sin of the Spirit.
Pride can be related to Race, Face, Lace, Place and/or Grace. Pride of place is not simply related to our geographical location; it also has to do with our station in life, such as our finances, cultural experiences, intellectual attainments.
Those who have hatred (or disdain) for Jews, or Israel as a nation, consider their personal worldview to be superior to those who recognize the Divine favor given to Jews and/or Israel. When our thoughts, our views, are contrary to the thoughts of God, as found in Scripture, we are in opposition to God.
