In other words, it is intellectual pride, which is, in fact, demonic pride. Similarly, the angels who became demons had refused to submit to the authority of God who created them. They wanted to be as God: \u201cI am God and acknowledge no higher authority than myself.\u201d Only hardened people refuse to know God, to bow before Him, to turn to Him and to give Him the first place in their lives, because they do not want to be dependent on Him.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Download:<a href=\"https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Intellectual_pride.doc\">Intellectual pride keeps man from bowing before God<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why do scientists reject belief in God?
