Pastor Mark Burns, the president’s informal “spiritual advisor,” wants to make one thing very clear about the extremely tall gold statue of Donald Trump that was officially dedicated last week in Doral, Miami. “Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone,” he wrote on Twitter.
He’s technically right, just as Rene Magritte was technically right that his painting of a pipe was not actually a pipe. In the most literal sense, the statue of Trump, which is named “Don Colossus” is not a golden calf.
Despite the president calling it “The Real Deal - GOLD,” on Truth Social, the statue is not made of gold. Unlike the golden calf, which was made from melting the jewelry of the Egyptians, the Trump statue is not actually made of solid gold. “Don Colossus” is cast in bronze and covered in gold leaf, making it much, much less valuable. It is also obviously not a calf, as calves are baby cows, and the statue is certainly not a baby cow.
Some of them actually believe this guy is the antichrist and they’re helping him destroy the world, thinking Jesus will just be cool with that. They’ll believe anything.
I know it’s not really important. But why have they made him fat?
This statue is a PERFECT representation of Trumpism, he can’t resist revealing himself by the art he chooses. Reminds me of Mussolini.

I think it’s because these personalities surround themselves with sycophants, and this leads to them being isolated and unaware of their own ridiculousness. A universal truth across the centuries.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. ~Matthew 7:16
Well how about that! The high priest of the 12 tribes of Israel said the exact same thing to Moses when asked why everyone was worshiping a golden calf
FR. I think devolution just went up a notch. Gold statues, ehmmm wasn’t that a trend 1500 years ago in Europe?
What would Moses do?
Throw the idol into a fire, I guess.
The statue, too.
Reducing the idol into a powder, mixing it with water, and making the idolators drink the mixture is also on the table.
If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, it’s a golden idol.
He seems to be trying to claim that since it’s not specifically a calf, it doesn’t count.
So what the fuck is it then Burns??
just one of the major heresies
Idols can be negative. Trump actively makes me dislike Christians more by way of being a bad example.
We are witnessing Olympic levels of mental gymnastics here.
They gave it wifi and call it i-Dol.
Dilldon.
It’s not an idol, it’s just a gold-looking representation of something a large group of people fervently honor and pray to, and according to their own chit-chat, hold in higher respect than jesus or god. And nothing more.
how blasphemous of evengelicals.
“The church has investigated the claims about rampant pedophilia”
And has determined that nothing unusual is going on?
In fact they found there’s a shit-ton going on and they are all in favor! Imagine that.
Conveniently, unusual is not equal to immoral.
and God later sent a plague upon the people for their idolatry.
frogs of locusts please. you can eat them. i’d prefer the locusts tho since the frogs will keep you up all night
You can eat locusts too. In fact they’re very nutritious. Taste like… Potato chips basically. You need two things to make them palatable: 1) spices, 2) pretend they’re not locusts
also the locusts are crunchy. people don’t realize how much you need crunch in your diet until you haven’t had it in a while
