himself to His Chosen People, Israel

“You shall make two Cherubim of
formed gold, on both sides of the
oracle.”

44. But if you read the bible MORE, GOD ask himself to His Chosen
People, Israel.

“That is, one Cherub had a height of ten cubits,
and similarly the second Cherub.”
Numbers 21:8
“And the Lord said to him, Make a bronze serpent
and place it as a SIGN.Whoever having been
struck, gazes upon it, SHALL LIVE.”

He’s a fat idol made of a thick metal. His arms
are outstretched and has a huge stomach
that acts as a furnace.They fire him up until
the whole thing is turn to red hot. Once it is
red hot,THEYTHROW BABIES ONTHE ARMS
OFTHIS IDOL AS HUMAN SACRIFICE.THE
BABY BURNS ALIVE.

47. SOTHERE’S A GIGANTIC DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN JUDAIC IMAGES AND PAGAN.

48. The IDOLS that EXODUS and
DEUTERONOMY was referring to were
MOLECH and BAAL and other pagan idols
that had human sacrifices, and even had
temple prostitutes and sexual orgies as
religions celebrations.

49. For us CATHOLICS, we’re not praying
to the Statues. We are praying to
God. As a gesture of faith this simple
signs, we simply connects to our
heavenly family, the army of saints
who have gone before us, to pray for
our earthly family.
