Eat the rich and obey the Lord (who speaks through the church of course, so obey the church, you’ll just have to trust us on that one. Also give us money or you’re going to hell).
Not sure about only trusting the church or giving them your money. A ton of church practices like forced conversion go against what he preached. He wanted people to choose God, while one should give their wealth to the cause of building a better world rather than the church. The good Samaritan nonbelievers were better than people who only followed in word alone.
It was forbidden for laypeople to own or translate the bible for hundreds of years because the church wanted to control the message.
The bribes were indulgences you paid to the church to forgive your sins.
A huge part of the bible is about being submissive, obedient, and turning the other cheek. The whole point of organized religion is to keep the masses under the yoke of the powerful.

Someone should tell Kenneth Copeland.
You mean Hypeman Lil KC?
Yes, I know, that’s why it amused me. I just don’t think Veggie Tales ever did anything with the quote
They didn’t but they did have some anti-materialism messages
