I was always taught NEVER stick out your tongue at anyone. They might hit you under the chin, hard!
There are wonderful shining lights in almost every profession. My brilliant brother is a maxillofacial surgeon who once told a patient he would not do surgery on him unless he turned an offensive, anti-Christian T-shirt inside out. Keep the faith, my friend. Bless you.
Bless you too!
AND your brilliant brother!

How would YOU measure ‘the difference’ between demonic influence and mans deprived nature to invent and acton their own evil desires...?
I am not one who goes around looking for demons in the bushes that influence men....man is corrupt sufficiently to be so all on his own in devising wickedness. As it’s written...:
Mark 7:21 tell us mans condition......”For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come”.......”which is being corrupted by its deceitful ‘desires’...Eph.4:22
Additionally it’s written....”The hearts of people, moreover, are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live”...Ecclesiastes 9:3
Genesis 6:5 futher tells us that from the fall “God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth.
I didn’t know that buildings could be liberal idiots.

He carried this around with him (along with his other talisman) and showed it off before his election:
This image is just more conditioning for the things to come.
Revelation 13:14-15:
“And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”~Ephesians 6:12
“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”
~John 3:19-21
No kidding! Literally. Thanks for the post and pics. More to ping for you soon on another thread re gold and silver. Gina McCarthy said she was "absolutely deeply sorry", but not a lick of repentance in sight.
Jer_17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Psa_10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
No doubt that unredeemed man is inherently wicked and they follow their own heart setting up idols for himself.
Behind idols is always a demonic spirit .
Prove or show that is true.....
According to catholic-ism... whoever venerates an image venerates 'the person' behind it”. (Catechism of the Catholic church)
Although Christianity does teach biblical prohibition against having images for religious purposes and bowing down before them (and God’s abhorrence of this pagan practice) is clearly set forth in the second of the Ten Commandments and in numerous other passages of Scripture.... “Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image.. to bow down unto it.... Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the Lord” ...(Leviticus 26:1; Deuteronomy 27:15)....
Nevertheless what scripture do you refer to substantiate demonic involvement????
We do read in I Cor. 10:19-20.... “What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is 'offered in sacrificeto idols is any thing? But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.”...
But Paul states clearly that 'the idol is 'nothing'......it appears rather that by and what is "sacrificed" to it as worship which then would be demonic worship.....such as animals and that which was customary in that age.
This does not excuse people bowing and kneeling before idols regardless of what they insist is worshiping the person behind it for God is clear these idols are NOT to be bowed to or kneeled before.
That’s a lovely image to go to sleep with at night.
Yep, no nightmares that night!

The worst of all the Indiana Jones movies...but still better than most of the trip me that passes for “cinema” today!

Behind every idol is demonic worship the same verse you picked says so it is not the statue etc but what is behind it
I think you missed my point.
Right! Even more powerful yrs in retrospect! Thanks for posts & links.
