I wish to know whether the claims about Baal worshippers sacrificing children and wishing to enslave the world are actually true because that sounds like the God of the Old Testament to me. Is it just projection from Jews and their offspring religions or is there truth to it?
>>18436750Everything attributed to Baal worship in the old testament is just yahweh worship that the priesthood decided to retcon to have never been acceptable.
>>18436750Jesus called the god that jews worship a devil, that their father is a devil. Call your jew devil whatever you want, there will only ever be one God of gods who had only one son, and the name of that God was given to the body of Christ.
yes. actually all religion in some way or another wants to submit the whole world. except maybe buddhism thats why so many people nowadays absolutely love it including myself but im spiritual not religious and dont believe buddha.
>>18436828Old Christian sects shared that view but nowadays they all affirm that Jesus is connected to Yahweh and all believe the same thing.

>>18436750>Baal worshippers sacrificing children"moloch"-type sacrifice is a common Semitic sacrifical practice.
>>18437379I never took the Jewish claims on the Egyptians seriously. It wouldn't surprise me that all the Jewish deities were bad, and the Old Testament feels henotheistic rather than monotheistic.>>18437369Why do the Epstein files mention Baal despite Epstein being a religious Jew deep into mystic traditions who already knows about Yahweh? Baal being Yahweh makes sense to me if not for that.
>>18436828Jesus was a false prophet, so what he said is irrelevant.
Never understood why so many conspiracy theorists accuse Jews of worshipping Baal when it’s literally the Jews’ own holy scripture that demonizes Baal and slanders anyone who worships him. The time period when Israel embraced Canaanite paganism is explicitly framed in a negative lens and the people who worshipped Baal, Asherah, and the other Canaanite gods are labeled as apostate traitors.Like, the idea that Canaanite paganism in general is somehow uniquely evil is a result of Abrahamic influence. Without the Bible and Quran, nobody would give a shit about who Baal is or isn’t and would just view him as another historic storm god like Zeus, Thor, or Perun.
>>18437462Child sacrifice is evil, but Yahweh does that himself and Jews don't need to worship a different deity to appease him. The statements made about Baal feel like projection.
The actual historical basis for Exodus is a bunch of diseased warlords with leprosy from the Levant who invaded Egypt during the Armana Period, desecrated temples, and were eventually expelled from Egypt for their crimes. They were so embarrassed about their expulsion that they rewrote history to make it look like they they were “oppressed slaves” (Egypt didn’t even have the type of chattel slavery depicted in Exodus) who made a triumphant escape rather than what they really were, expelled invaders with leprosy.>Osarseph /ˈoʊzərˌsɛf/ or Osarsiph /ˈoʊzərˌsJf/ (Koinē Greek: Ὀσαρσίφ) is a legendary figure of Ancient Egypt who has been equated with Moses. His story was recounted by the Ptolemaic Egyptian historian Manetho in his Aegyptiaca (first half of the 3rd century BC); Manetho's work is lost, but the 1st century AD Jewish historian Josephus quotes extensively from it.>The story depicts Osarseph as a renegade Egyptian priest who leads an army of lepers and other unclean people against a pharaoh named Amenophis. The pharaoh is driven out of the country and the leper-army, in alliance with the Hyksos (whose story is also told by Manetho) ravage Egypt, committing many sacrileges against the gods, before Amenophis returns and expels them. Towards the end of the story Osarseph changes his name to Moses.[1]They cry out in pain as they strike you.
>>18436828Hate to tell you but your god had a ton of sons. 200 of them came down from up above to take earthly wives. Your old testament is full of stories of the sons of god.Job 38:7 is one of them. "When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of god shouted for joy".To be honest, the old testament plagiarized the Enuma Elish, which was inscribed on clay tablets about 4000 years before the bible was published. Your god of the bible was Enlil, also called yahweh, who was a wicked vile entity.
>>18437462>Never understood why so many conspiracy theorists accuse Jews of worshipping Baal when it’s literally the Jews’ own holy scripture that demonizes Baal and slanders anyone who worships him.A funny thing about this is I've listened to some counter-antisemitism stuff (not just Jews, but definitely pro-Jewish and pro-Israel Christian conservative types) and heard people claim Jews are hated because they *don't* worship Baal. That is used as a kind of metaphor. Like the Jews stand alone so woke cancel culture and modern radical political movements that are anti-Israel is a Baal-worshipping sensibility.
>>18436750Baal and yahweh are the same guy.
>>18438053Why does Epstein have dedications to Baal and not Yahweh? Is that why?
>>18438153Where did it say in the Epstein files that he worshiped Baal? I've looked it up, and it uses Baal and BAA1 as credit ratings for his investments https://www.justice.gov/epsteinhttps://www.moodys.com/sites/products/productattachments/ap075378_1_1408_ki.pdf
>>18437584he is called the only begotten son for a reason, angels are a different matter
>>18436825There was overlap, specially as Yaweh absorbed functions from other gods (like El) as it rose in proeminence, but the Ahab and Jezebel story suggests foreigners, who wouldn't be worshiping the national god of Israel and the patron of the Davidic line, worshiped a distinct character that the propagandizers of Judah saw as separate and concurrent with the more proper object of worship in their own kingdom.>>18437462I think you do understand it: if you come from an Abrahamic background, Baal is your prototypical evil god.>>18437560Retarded theory.There was an Akhenistic (monotheistic) rebel leader named Moshe fighting out from the desert for many years. That guy being the basis for Moses and Exodus would a much more plausible fringe theory. But the more likely case is that it is simply a broken telephone retelling of the Egyptian hegemony.
