It is written, 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness
But, when I loved sin.. That's the type of words the devil would convince me of in order to hide any corruptible ways in life. It helped me feel comfortable while I dodged any moral accountabilities.
You do you.. As for me and my house, we serve a Way that is much more honorable than a way which serves the creature rather than the Creator
But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee

And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour. And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets. And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.

Sorrow, worry, depression, illness, anxiety and confusion can make us fearful. As a result, we seek refuge. Where/What/Who we turn to for safety will tell our heart's story.
We need a strong shelter thatโll protect us. God has promised to rescue us and to be with us in trouble when we set our hearts upon Him as our refuge
Psa 91:14-16 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known My name. 15.

@godlywomanhood Their reasoning โsounds goodโ to itching ears only.
Only those with a humble spirit can receive knowledge from outside of their comfortably maintained system(s). Pride comes before the fall, it always has and always will.
God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble..
@GrapheneOS@Sebo471@Ced_haurus@getyoti Amazing how a risk flag went into a review by the compliance dept and the assumption of an attempt to breach graduated to actual fraud? Based on multiple attempts with legit data? Someone needs their protocols updated and compliance agents trained on real fraud
Image Protection Specialist - constantly shuffling the deck to make oneself appear clean. Living a physical/carnal existence, forgetting that our Maker sees it all
Thank you Lord for saving me from that way of life. You resist the proud but give grace to the humble ๐ฉท Truly..
