Opposition to God

--from Kevin Twit:

In Exodus 5, Pharaoh set himself up against God:
All sin is setting ourselves up in opposition to God, and all discontent is birthed from the belief
that we know better than God. We see this in the Garden where Adam and Eve pit their desire against
God's. Sin is not really seen for what it is until it is seen in this context. "Sin is the dare of God's justice, the
rape of His mercy, the jeer of His patience, the slight of His power, and the contempt of His love." (John
Bunyan, author of "A Pilgrim's Progress")
