Pride ... one of the Seven Deadly Sins, and possibly the worst of the lot as it blinds us to the rest.

Pride...blinds us to the rest.

Well judged. It is noteworthy that it was Satan's pride that tripped him up.

My secular 10th grade history teacher taught us this acronym, PEWLAGS:

Pride
Envy
Wrath
Lust
Avarice
Gluttony
Sloth

Nice mnemonic; haven’t seen that before.

Pride as the chief sin is not an original thought with me; not sure if I got it from CS Lewis, Thomas Aquinas, or someone else of that nature.

It's worked fine for me since '64.

Pride as the chief sin is not an original thought with me

I've understood that as the overwhelming consensus--which becomes a logical fallacy if one relies on acclaim as the reason for belief. But I am suggesting that one would be hard-pressed to find an important thinker, like those you mention, who does not agree.

Ahah, sorry, Dan. I have enough to do, I don’t need another task....I will leave it to someone else more knowledgeable than me on the subject.

In prepping Zechariah, I just now added a couple more glowing Larsons. They almost seem backlit.

Ted Larson has lots of paintings on prophecy, so you will be seeing quite a few of his in coming weeks.
