| Quote | | Floyd, you do know that Ba'al is Canaanite for "Lord" as well as a personal name. Kind of like..."God". |
"Baal" is translated "lord", but if you think there is any possible equivalence between the Canaanite Baal and the real live God, please grab the nearest Old Testament (1 Kings chap. 18, for example) and totally wipe out that fallacy. Quick!!
| Quote | 27 At noon Elijah began to taunt them.
"Shout louder!" he said. "Surely (Baal) is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or busy, or traveling. Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened."
28 So they shouted louder and slashed themselves with swords and spears, as was their custom, until their blood flowed.
29 Midday passed, and they continued their frantic prophesying until the time for the evening sacrifice. But there was no response, no one answered, no one paid attention. |
(Afterwards, Elijah said....)
| Quote | 37 "Answer me, O LORD, answer me, so these people will know that you, O LORD, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again."
38 Then the fire of the LORD fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.
39 When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, "The LORD -he is God! The LORD -he is God!" |
Worshipping Baal is a total mistake, just like worshipping Evolution. (Burn all those idol gods, people!)
There's only one real God. The God of the Bible.
