  1. The Aluah Of Abraham Issac And Jacob Doesn't Play With Idols All Esteem To The Most High Yahuah ๐ค‰๐ค„๐ค…๐ค„

  2. That's my Elohim's handy work! All praises to the Most High YAHUAH!

  3. It seems that Buddha is weak and cannot defend himself.. How miserable is the god you worship

  4. Bad omen for CCPโ€ฆ

  5. ุฃูŽููŽุฑูŽุฃูŽูŠู’ุชูŽ ุฅูู† ู…ู‘ูŽุชู‘ูŽุนู’ู†ูŽุงู‡ูู…ู’ ุณูู†ููŠู†ูŽ (ูขู ูฅ)ย ุซูู…ู‘ูŽ ุฌูŽุงุกูŽู‡ูู… ู…ู‘ูŽุง ูƒูŽุงู†ููˆุง ูŠููˆุนูŽุฏููˆู†ูŽย (ูขู ูฆ) ู…ูŽุง ุฃูŽุบู’ู†ูŽู‰ูฐ ุนูŽู†ู’ู‡ูู… ู…ู‘ูŽุง ูƒูŽุงู†ููˆุง ูŠูู…ูŽุชู‘ูŽุนููˆู†ูŽ (ูขู ูง) ุงู„ุดุนุฑุงุก

    Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years, And then there came to them that which they were promised?
    They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided. (Quran 26 :205-207)

  6. Jinn are smoke & fire. Asian is predominantly Jinn. I wonder who got released……๐Ÿ˜

  7. And yet the Muslims are the only people left on earth who don't worship human beings neither status neither demons or this demonized society!

  8. Their God can not even save itself. From fire.

  9. When I saw this vedio then I accepted islam

  10. These people will never learn until the one and Only true sovereign God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob remind them who He is. God will NOT be mocked. Better repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

  11. US media will stop at nothing to smear China ๐Ÿ˜‚

  12. "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." hits even harder now.

  13. It is alright. Like someone put it, nothing i permanent. Detachment is the basic principle of Buddhism.

  14. Yahweh is the one true God, Creator of the universe. All of these other so-called "gods" are made by man, made of wood and stone. They have eyes but cannot see, ears but cannot hear, and those making them will become just like them. Governments push false religion to get you to not believe in the true God so that you don't turn to the true God in order to have relief from government oppression and control.

  15. Probably not an accident.

  16. GOD is bringing judgment on the whole world for worshiping STATUES and FALSE IDOLSโ€ฆ not to mention the Pure Evil that is Ramping up โ€ฆ
    All you Gotta do is go to the book of Ezekiel in the Bible, and read how ANGRY GOD was at ISRAEL and all the surrounding countries for the worshiping of statues and animals and themselves, and for all the murders they were committing, and loaning people money with high interest rates.
    The corruption was rampant โ€ฆ

    and itโ€™s NO DIFFERENT to this VERY DAY –

    GOD is bringing judgment on the whole world for the worshiping of statues and false idols, for all the corruption and murdering – if GOD didnโ€™t spare Israel and its surrounding countries for FALSE IDOLATRY, and murdering โ€ฆ
    HEโ€™s NOT going to SPARE the rest of the world in this very day and age because this whole world would rather murder each other and worship statues and practice IDOLATRY than WORSHIP the
    ONE TRUE GOD of ISRAEL ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ โœ๏ธ Like God said, โ€œI will smash your pagan shrines and judge the countries committing these acts!โ€

  17. What happened for that

  18. Started by Chinas Government…China wants nothing to do with these people…They are locking them up…๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž

  19. I hope it was all destroyed. False religions from Satan

  20. Well….idols will burn.

  21. Strange how they worship this idol and call it a God, yet it canโ€™t even help itselfโ€ฆ..

  22. OMB.. how sad. But make it from stone if you want it to last.

  23. They need the space for a new car park!

  24. Oh my Buddha!
    Hate to see this happen.
    ๐Ÿ˜ข

  25. Nothing is permanent

  26. The deep state is trying to erase our history.

  27. This makes me so sad

  28. Mazdak Religion

    Mazdakism is an Iranian religion, originally an offshoot of Zoroastrianism. Its often considered a response to the increasingly hierarchical nature of Zoroastrian leadership.

    Zoroastrianism was the dominant religion of Sassanid Persia. Its doctrine spread all over Persia and other neighboring countries in the early Middle Ages.

    Mazdakism was named after its most prominent advocate Mazdak, an influential person during the reign of Emperor Kavad I. Mazdak was a Zoroastrian priest. He focused on the social and spiritual needs of the most disadvantaged members of society.

    He viewed Mazdakism as a purified version of Zoroastrianism. But many scholars argued that his teachings had influences from Manichaeism because his instructions were not only social but also religious. His ideas were so dramatic and powerful that they caused chaos and threatened the Zoroastrian priesthoodโ€™s existence during his time.

    The religion is populist and egalitarian. It has its distinctive tenets, which differentiated it from Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism. It caused various revolutionary upheavals in Iran and was even brutally suppressed at the near end of Kavadโ€™s reign. It focused on the equitable distribution of wealth. It also sought to break the barrier which made property and women available only for the privileged classes.

    Many scholars consider Mazdakism an excellent example of pre-modern communism. They were undoubtedly the earliest communists of the world. Still, you wonโ€™t find any mention of them in the histories of communism by European scholars. Mazdakism was one of the earliest attempts at establishing communal order in the East, where community property and work benefited all.

    Mazdak declared that God placed the means of subsistence (arzฤq) on earth so that people divide them among themselves equally, in a manner that no one of them could have more than his share; but people wronged one another and sought domination over one another; the strong defeated the weak and took exclusive possession of livelihood and property. It is absolutely necessary that one takes from the rich for giving to the poor so that all become equal in wealth. Whoever possesses an excess of property, women, or goods, he has no more right to it than another.โ€
