| − | :To rely on ourselves, rather than accept God, God's word, and God's teaching, is pride. What St. Valentine and the Catholic church call original sin. It was the sin of Lucifer - making himself out to be God. It was the sin of Adam - rejecting God to ''worship and serve the creature more than the Creator''. It is the sin of everyone who rejects the Gospel of Grace in favor of a doctrine of Law, that by welldoing you can earn your standing with God. God see's rejection of the sacrifice of his son as pride.
