Did they venerate this icon?
>>18431422Don't worry bro it's just hyperdulia
>>18431422Like a full 50% of the old testament was written by preisthoods trying to provide an etiology for whatever social change they were currently pushing. I don't know why you guys take it so seriously.
>>18431446Source: the modern secular priesthood trying to provide an etiology for the demonic social change they’re pushing
>>18431491>guize trust us all of our enemies actually eat babies and fornicate in the open, no this isn't propaganda, I'm not lying, this is the real truth
>>18431888Epstein files were leaked anon
>>18431890I was talking about what the Jewish priests were writing about their enemies in their books.
>>18431891We found the child sacrifice cemeteries in Carthage
Golden Bull:>doesn't exist>not a human that walked on Earth>not related to the one true religion (Chritianity)>no real capabilities except by demonic interventionVirgin Mary>exists>a human that walked on Earth>mother of Jesus Christ, Ark of the New Covenant, New Eve>capable of intervention through Jesus Christ
>>18431910Never heard of the name EL KANNA? When the Creator of all things warns you that he is a jealous God you should heed the warning and believe him. He didn't tell his people he would pile up their corpses in front of their idols for no reason. God does not bluff.
>>18431910The golden calf was a representation of god. This argument doesn't work unless you claim god doesn't exist.
>>18431948>represents godYea which god? Since when have jews been told a golden calf means Yahweh? Moloch is represented as a man bull. Its obvious who they were sacrificing to when moses was getting the commandments.
>>18431446I like the Koran because of how obvious it is Muhammad was making rules up on the fly about incredibly specific things he wanted or annoyed him like he was a sitcom character who starts a cult or something.
>>18431422Well da bibble refers to it as a literal God, so no. You have to remember this entire thing was written in an environment where people genuinely thought the gods were the statues. The episode of Isaac stealing Laban's Gods is illustrative of this.>>18431446At least a quarter of the remainder is political propaganda for people who claim descent from king David. And some other portion is just folklore.>>18431888The Moloch was a real thing practiced by everyone in the area. The Hebrews also practiced it, too. But well this also supports your point. Iirc Jews have a little ritual to this day where they basically pay a symbolic amount to the priests so they're pardoned from this and get blessings etc.>>18431988Moloch is not a god. That understanding only arose longer afte rit was written.
>>18432129>You have to remember this entire thing was written in an environment where people genuinely thought the gods were the statuesUnironically a strawman, no pagan ever actually believed that the statue was literally the god itself but rather, a “conduit” of sorts to access the god. After carving the statue, they would do a complex ritual that they believed would transfer the gods essence into the statue; the god was still believed to reside in the heavens but their essence was now present in the statue and allowed them to access the deity.
>>18432136Oh, didn't know that, thanks.
>>18431422PAY CLOSE ATTENTION:Even disease is also an idol. If you believe in sickness and not in God - Who created creation perfect - then you're an idolater.
>>18432815Finally, a Christian Scientist.
>>18432816Sickness and separation are not of God, but the Kingdom is. If you obscure the Kingdom, you are perceiving what is not of God. (https://acim.org/acim/en/s/108#1:4-5 | T-7.II.1:4-5)
>>18432129>The Moloch was a real thing practiced by everyone in the areaIt wasn't, you fell for propaganda
>>18432136Which was in fact the same thing Hebrews believed re: God's presence in the Tabernacle and the Temple, just with the Ark instead of a statue.
>>18432829Do icon havers think their icons are the same as the Tabernacle and the Temple?
>>18432823>A course in MiraclesOh hell no. Get this automatically written hippie psychobabble out of here. How did a New Thought guy even find 4channel in the first place? I mean, not 'find' but why would you use the site?>>18432824The Jews were actually pretty coy about it, though. This was only reconstructed through archeology and careful reading o the bible.
>>18431446>listen up you retarded golems, YHWH says those other people living nearby are... LE BAD and so we need to genocide them and take their land. Now pick up your gear and get to slaughtering.>OH and don't forget to tip us your sacrifices. And make sure it's the quality stuff, no blemishes. G-d gets really pissed if you leave us your shitty livestock.
>>18431888>jews said they did it>Greeks said they did it>Romans said they did it>modern archeologists finding vases filled with children’s bones said they did it
