The false prophet defends the ‘prosperity gospel’: ‘Sow in my pocket and God will make you reap in yours — curiously, only mine never runs empty.’ Idolatry does not make its victims wiser, but it does fill the pockets of the impostors who promote it. If you think about it, it makes sense. , CBA 55[259] 95 45 , 0022│ English │ #VSOIEIC

The truth bothers the tyrant more than a thousand rebels. The false prophet: ‘God is everywhere, but He only hears your prayers if you pray to him through my images.’ This is too shocking to ignore. , BCA 18 8[251] 71 , 0014│ English │ #VSCE

Something few people notice. The false prophet swears the statue cries… but only when the cameras are rolling and the donations are open. Wise men inconvenience the masses; charlatans entertain the rabble. That’s why they succeed in ratings. , ACB 10 85[243] 64 , 0006│ English │ #FAR

It’s not what it seems. ‘The statue failed? Clearly you didn’t pay enough.’ —false prophet logic. The most dangerous lies are preached from altars and flags. , ACB 81 5[235] 51 , 0053│ English │ #EJUI

While some bow down before idols with closed eyes, others profit by promoting that blindness. False prophets blame your weak faith when the statue stays mute, but never admit their own fat pockets. It’s no coincidence. , BCA 70 61[228] 20 , 0046│ English │ #REUNSHA

It’s not as simple as it seems. Power that demands blind obedience reveals its own insecurity. The statue doesn’t speak, but the false prophet screams: Give me more offerings! , ABC 25 32 55[220] , 0038│ English │ #AOEEVQ

A point that is rarely mentioned. The false prophet: ‘I am the false prophet: God doesn’t need statues, but I do—otherwise how would I pay for my mansion?’ Cowards impose unjust rules; but the just ones break them with powerful reasons that, due to their superiority, prevail over those of the cowards. , ACB 18 88[212] 20 , 0030│ English │ #NOPZ

The idol does not enslave. Those who teach to worship it do. The false prophet: ‘When the miracle doesn’t come, I say: pray harder… and pay harder.’ There is no way to justify it. , BCA 87 71[204] 51 , 0022│ English │ #EGA

Interesting point of view. The witch doctor: ‘With this ritual and this amulet, you will be protected from evil. With this water, I will give you a flowering bath. The skull is here.’ The one who asks you to prostrate yourself before an image and say that many lies are true: ‘With this prayer and carrying this with you, you will be protected from evil. With this holy water, I will grant you a blessing. The skulls are in the basement (catacombs).’ Translating the Bible into all languages—will it bring the kingdom of God closer or perpetuate the deception? Rome invented verses to subjugate the peoples it conquered and erase their right to demand justice. Mt 5:39-41: the other cheek in service of the plunderer. , ABC 4 74 92[187] , 0005│ English │ #DUA
