God is very clear in His word the Holy Bible to define pride as sin, always. It is the sin that cause Lucifer to fall and become Satan. This is a Bible study to warn the body of Christ not to be partakers in "American pride" or any form pride at all.
Proverbs 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
