False gods...

[Dakota]

There are so many passages in the bible about false gods and you look at our political circus and all you can think of (or at least all I can think of) is how we were warned...

What Does the Bible Say About False Gods?

Yesterday we saw a tragedy and saw Obama get up and still push his agenda.... Norton changed her clothes and was in the background at one press conference messing with her collar... and somebody even said she'd vote in favor of a war on Syria so Obama wouldn't look so bad.

false gods?

People suffering from Narcissism, obviously... But then we have these psychopaths coming out in mass which is just Narcissism, IMO, in its fullest form.... and Psychopaths tend to do things based on revenge, validation, and fame (which is more validation)

I'm friends with a criminal profiler who posted this... which makes perfect sense to me....

Psychopaths can have psychotic moments and psychotics can have underlying personality disorders. All mass murderers are psychopaths and just because they may have exhibited paranoia (sometimes just anger that people aren't respecting them which is narcissism) or gone to a therapist (sometimes forced to by workplace or family or sometimes because they get a sick kick out of messing with the minds of the therapist or because they want validation that they are right), doesn't mean they didn't have control over their choices; hence, not insanity.

but it does leave me wondering... Jesus drove demons away... so are people possessed or are they acting as if they are a false god (ego is considered the false god - Narcissism)... and how do you tell the difference?

My x was a psychopath; all the characteristics. They are gods in their own eyes/mind, and is up to the "normal" people to see the difference. Narcissism is the central point, and you will never change that in the person that has that characteristic. Nothing fits into their world that makes them look bad; in other words, anything that doesn't fit is discarded as garbage. This is how dictators are born, but it takes a weak audience to embrace them in order for them to gain power.

we have a guy in Ft Washington - Blanket Man - has been living on the streets since the 1970's ... if you pass him by in a shopping center, and hear him mumbling to himself, you would think he was possessed .... some say he did too many drugs in the late 60's ....

I have also heard taking drugs weakens the mind, and opens it up to possession ... by spirits / demons ... etc



[come to think of it, I have not seen the guy in a few yrs]

What Does the Bible Say About False Gods?

Regarding False Gods, I have attached a study I did many years ago on that exact subject.
People are just as guilty of saying what the Bible does say when it , in fact, says no such thing.
