Please explain Proverbs 14:12, its applicability in the New Covenant…

“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”

Discussion,

It is the natural propensity, inclination, of human kind, the pride of life, the narcissistic rendering of the Adamic sin-nature, to be self-reliant, self-sustaining, introverted and self-righteous possessing the innate ability to cover and conceal and atone for one’s own sin; this is the “way” that seems right to a man or woman; therefore, the spiritual truism of reliance upon a “god” or a supernatural being for forgiveness of sin, sustainability of life, wisdom, discernment, is preposterous and the logic of a weak minded fool, but Jesus and the Holy Spirit teach that the humble shall be exalted while the prideful shall be made low and shameful (Matthew 23:12; 1 Peter 5:5-6); Jesus teaches that unless one humbles them self and becomes child-like in their faith, they will not see the Kingdom of Elohim (Matthew 18:4); Jesus teaches that He is the ONLY WAY to life in the Kingdom (John 14:6) and that eternal New Covenant relationship with the Father is established only through the profound yet simplistic reality of “faith” (trust-belief) and that void “faith” it is NOT possible to please Elohim (Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 11:6); therefore, the way that seems right to prideful, narcissistic, self-righteous, humanity is the way of death but the Way of “faith” apart from self-righteousness is the Way of everlasting life and Jesus is the “Rock of stumbling” for the natural man and there are “many” who will die in Hell due to the sin of self-righteousness which naturally manifests in denial, rejection, of Jesus as Messiah (1 Peter 2:8; Romans 9:33; 1 Corinthians 2:14; 1 John 2:16-17; Matthew 7:13-14).
