Don't be proud. Don't be pushy.

Cognitive Dissonance is a very powerful thing.
When Jesus rebuked the pharisees, He wasn't really worried about their cognitive dissonance. He straight up told them the Truth regardless:

Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.

19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
what if Proverbs 8 speaks of 2 deeps
"What if"? You call this an answer? -And it doesn't speak of 2 "deeps". He drew a circle on the face of the deep. (singular)
What is the surface of the singular deep?

Which deep?
As I pointed out, there are at least two deeps, per Psalm 42.
The word 'deep' is mentioned twice in Proverbs 8:27-29 - first in the immediate context of the heavens, and second in the immediate context of the sea and the earth.

Which deep?
Do they share a face at their intersection?

God said we would be known by our love for each other =]

Hope you are doing well!
Thank you for being here!
They love me with their words but their heart is far from me.

Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth,
and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

In Psalm 42 which deep do you think calls unto which deep?
You don't know. So, until then this is what we know: "He drew a circle on the face of the deep". This deep:
3 primaeval ocean, deep, in Hebrew cosmogony, ׳מְּנֵי ת Genesis 1:2 (P; "" מְּנֵי הַמַּיִם), Proverbs 8:27

The deep itself has no bottom. That is why the deep can't be a sphere, because a sphere has a bottom, the center, any further "down" than that, is not down but up the other side. Which means the surface of the deep must be a flat surface, because only with a flat surface can you have infinity downwards, the bottomless pit. Proving the circle is two dimentional, because it was drawn on the flat surface of the deep, that has no bottom. Hence why it is written: "He drew a circle on the face of the deep". Plain and simple.

When that becomes a sin, let us know.
Speaking of sins, I have been waiting for a list :unsure:

But as for breaking site rules, yes, that would count as a sin. For instance, continually slandering
others is not only against the site's terms and rules, but also breaking a commandment of God.

Then why do you disobey any commandment of God?

God is not a deceiver; the sun's rising & setting communicates truth - Romans 1:20
Ezekiel 14:9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing,
I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him,
and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
