Look At That Beautiful Face...

Drudge Report Headline - November 21, 2008

REPORT:
 Time INC. in "contractual promise" with Angelina Jolie for "positive coverage"

If you look at her face and are able to see beyond the facade one can clearly see the image of the serpent.

"You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman.
"For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."       Genesis 3:4-5 NIV

She's a looker alright, that Angelina Jolie. Like so many celebrities she has an outward beauty that is mesmerizing and attractive - a true American idol in every sense of the word - perfectly fit for worship. People want to look like her, to wear the same clothes, to have that charisma and that exciting lifestyle.

Christ's words in Matthew seem to fit here:

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!  for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.   Matthew 23:27 KJV

And from Paul:

And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.  It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness.  Their end will be what their actions deserve.   2 Corinthians 11:14-15 NIV

And along with the good looks, good works go hand-in-hand.  From the article:

In a separate 2006 negotiation with People, Ms. Jolie invited magazine editors — through her philanthropic adviser, Trevor Neilson — to bid on exclusive photos of her and her adopted Cambodian son, Maddox. But she made coverage of her charity work part of the deal.

A little more from Matthew fits well here:

So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men.  I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.  But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret.  Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."  Matthew 6:2-3 NIV

As Psalm 115 states regarding idols, those who make them will be like them.
