RIGHT YOU ARE. Scripture seems rather clear about it.
Odd that the Roman Catholic et al edifice would, yet again, disagree with Scripture about such a thing:
5.Revelation 13:14
Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. Revelation 13:13-15 (in Context) Revelation 13 (Whole Chapter)
[SEE ALSO, DANIEL 11--EASIER READING IN THE MESSAGE VERSION--REGARDING WHAT'S SET UP in the yet to be rebuilt--the 3rd Holy of Holies]
6.Revelation 16:14
They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty. Revelation 16:13-15 (in Context) Revelation 16 (Whole Chapter) 7.Revelation 19:20
But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. Revelation 19:19-21 (in Context) Revelation 19 (Whole Chapter)
Perhaps contradicting Scripture became an institutional hobby somewhere along the way.

Perhaps contradicting Scripture became an institutional hobby somewhere along the way.It really is unfathomable to me. There is no standard OF God, except the Bible. Without a standard, there can be no measurement, and judgment slips away.
