I was sitting here listening to the radio and I got to wondering what message the world has tried to or succeeded in teaching you and what does God say about that topic in scripture that we should listen to over the world
The latest example from my personal life is that of humility and Love...iow's the world teaches to put ourselves first, to take care of ourselves so we can take care of others whereas scripture says to put others above ourselves in an act of humility...Philippians 2:3
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

There are many things two of the biggest items seen in the news/worldwide everyday is PRIDE and GREED of Money...... The two exemplifying these two sins are Adam Shift and Bloomburg, the Billionaire attempting to buy an election.
God has a lot to say about these sins...
Have a great day, Lori.......Hopefully these answers were somewhat better....lol

Scripture says that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble
Amen
God says that the love of money (greed) is the root of all kinds of evil
Amen

That's hard to narrow down because there were so many things. But I guess the main thing was that the world tried to succeed in making me live in fear of the people involved in spiritual warfare against me. There are several scriptures that come to mind about that but the one that really stands out for me is Matt. 10:28
And fear not them who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

when I first came to Christ, I was visited by demons every night (I had broken a stronghold in our family) Anyway I remember God using that to teach me that the demons couldn't hurt me as long as I remained in HIS Love, grace, and protective will....amen, we do not need to fear anything or anyone but God Himself and He turns that "fear" into peace, comfort, boldness before His throne, and an awe of who He is.

The world (and worldly church) taught me that we are created on earth at conception (ie, by dna etc) or at birth by a special creation of a soul just for that person.
GOD, thru the scripture has convinced me of my error in believing this and that rather all persons created in HIS image were created at the same time pre-earth in the spirit world (probably called Sheol) where we all heard the proclamation of the gospel as in Col 1:23 ...if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and THAT HAS BEEN PROCLAIMED TO EVERY CREATURE UNDER HEAVEN, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant., that we saw the creation of the physical universe as per Job 38:7... when the morning stars sang together and ALL the sons of God shouted for joy? which proved HIS divinity and power to everyone so none are without excuse, Rom 1:20.

Yes Paul is telling us in Col 1:23 that the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been preached to everyone under heaven or the whole world.

But it has not been proclaimed as a finished act to everyone ever on earth while on earth...by along shot. If the earth is our only timeline then something is seriously wrong.
Oh, I know people choose to make it refer only to the earth (even though that is problematic) because they have already chosen a theology that denies there was any time pre-earth for EVERYone to hear the gospel pre-earth. Eisegesis can be fun!!

Yes, absolutely. He does turn that "fear" into peace, comfort, boldness before His throne.
Also I just wanted to mention that these people involved in spiritual warfare against me and others especially innocent children and Christians who they hate, claim to be able to take their souls. But all souls belong to God alone. He is the Lifegiver. The Creator. The Most High God.
