They are afraid of death. They feel, that nobody would remember them five years from now. Everything they achieved, is just a pseudo-plastic version, they didn't work for themselves. Nothing is based on their own work.
So they have to destroy the reputation of others to lower the average.
But they don't know, that this also doesn't give reputation, because it is not work.
Diminishing everyone only gives a short relief.
Fyi there are #evangelicals who are watching world events thinking Jesus must be coming soon because Israel is under attack, and they are prepared to endorse an obvious #antichrist and wannabe dictator to make it happen. #USA
"I feel much freer now that I am certain the pope is Antichrist."
Martin Luther
Father of the Christian Reformation
October 11, 1520
"We firmly believe here that the Papacy is the personification of Antichrist’s throne, and feel we are justified in resisting their deceptions and wiles for the sake of the salvation of souls. I declare that I only owe the Pope the obedience due to Antichrist."
"From my heart I hate that man of sin and son of perdition, with all his kingdom, which is nothing but sin and hypocrisy."
Martin Luther
Expositor of the True Christian Faith
August 18, 1520
"Eck and Emser opened my eyes as to the Pope’s sovereignty; for although at first I maintained his right to the human title, I now see that the Papacy is the kingdom of Babylon, and the tyranny of Nimrod, the mighty hunter."
Martin Luther
Fearless Opponent of the Papal Seat Antichrist
October 6, 1520
Antichrist has been on earth for 1500 years! Wake up! The Church is the Kingdom of darkness. “Come out of her, my people!”
