Christian Idlatry: The Wrship f Ba al-per Authr: Pierre Dungee www.getyuranswersnline.cm

In this shrt bk, we are ging t lk at Idlatry f Ideas Idelgical Idlatry. Just s we have a wrking knwledge f idlatry, let s lk at what and idl is: With that being said, an idl is defined as: nun 1. a material bject, esp a carved image, that is wrshipped as a gd 2. Christianity Judaism any being (ther than the ne Gd) t which divine hnur is paid 3. a persn wh is revered, admired, r highly lved We als have the rigin f this wrd, s let s take a lk at it here: mid-13c., "image f a deity as an bject f (pagan) wrship," frm Old French idle "idl, graven image, pagan gd," frm Late Latin idlum "image (mental r physical), frm," used in Church Latin fr "false gd," frm Greek eidln "appearance, reflectin in water r a mirrr," later "mental image, apparitin, phantm,"als "material image, statue," frm eids "frm" (see - id). Figurative sense f "smething idlized" is first recrded 1560s (in Middle English the figurative sense was "smene wh is false r untrustwrthy"). Meaning"a persn s adred" is frm 1590s. Frm the rigins f the wrd, yu see the wrds pagan, false gd, statue, s we can crrectly infer that and idl is NOT a gd thing that a Christian shuld be lking at r dealing with. The Lrd has given strict instructins abut idls as yu can see in scripture here: Leviticus 26:1 - Ye shall make yu n idls nr graven image, neither rear yu up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image f stne in yur land, t bw dwn unt it: fr I am the LORD yur Gd. Deuternmy 5:9 - Thu shalt nt bw dwn thyself unt them, nr serve them: fr I the LORD thy Gd am a jealus Gd, visiting the iniquity f the fathers upn the children unt the third and furth generatin f them that hate me, The devil knws this, s he sets up idls s the wrship will g t HIM, as this is what he wanted frm the time when iniquity was fund in him. Wrship means that much t the devil, and he will d anything he can t get thse creatins f the Lrd t give HIM their wrship. S what is wrship? 2

Wrship is a public shw f deep respect and devtin twards smene r smething that yu are in awe f/have full admiratin fr that yu shw prfund, intense lve and hnur t in recgnitin f the qualities f hliness, excellence and wisdm. As yu already knw, the Lrd is nt sharing his wrship with anyne, and the sle purpse f an idl is t get peple, wh are built t wrship the Lrd, t wrship a substitute. The devil puts idls arund everyne because he knws that human beings will wrship anything. With that being said, wh is Ba al-per and what des he d? Wikipedia: Let s find ut frm The stry prceeds frm that f the prphet Balaam, in which he ascends the muntain f Pe r, and makes sacrifices t Gd frm atp it. Having finished his sacrifices, Balaam views the Israelites n the plain belw, and althugh hired t curse them, prnunces a blessing ver them, prphesying their blessed nature and destructin f Mab. When the narrative fcus returns t the pint f view f the Israelites, the cntrast between Balaam's viced pinin f them, and their actual behaviur, is distinctly nticeable. Accrding t the Trah, the Israelites, after spending a shrt time in the plain f Mab, begin t invlve themselves with the Mabite wmen. Cnsequently, under the influence f Mabite culture, the Israelites begin participating in the wrship f the Mabite gds, and jin themselves t Baal Per (Hebrew רועפ לעב Ba al Pə ôr), in the Septuagint Beelphegōr, a baal assciated with Munt Pe r. The Lrd f Hsts rders Mses t gather the chiefs f the peple and hang up the idlaters befre The Lrd f Hsts t turn away The Lrd f Hst's anger. The scene then abruptly shifts frm cncerns abut Mabites t thse abut Midianites. A man Israelite Zimri, the sn f Salu brings a Midianite wman Czbi int the camp in the sight f Mses, where the peple are weeping. Phinehas, grandsn f Aarn, thereupn rises up with a spear, fllws the man int a tent and thrusts the spear thrugh bth the man and wman, wh were evidently in the act f cpulatin. The plague, frm which 24,000 had died, then ceased t take life. A war with Midian fllws later. As yu can clearly see frm ur Wikipedia descriptin, Ba al-per is the Lrd f the pening, and it seems that pening can be the anus, the muth r the vagina. In the case f the accunt in Numbers 25, the Midianite wmen attacked the Israelites by using that pening - the vagina t have sex with the Israelites, which wuld defile the men, as the Midianite wmen and the Mabite wmen dedicated their vaginas t Ba al-per. The Lrd f Hsts did kill 24,000 men wh had sex with this invading army. S, we are ging t shw the wrship f Ba al per frm the Israelite days, t the early days in the United States, and nw. 3

Wrship f Ba al-per then Ba al-per wrship circa 1960-1980 Ba al-pe r wrship Nw In effect, the wrship f Ba al-per ges n tday, and the filth cntinues t get mre and mre debase. In the Numbers 25 accunt, the wmen were the weapn, as the Lrd f Hsts was trying t keep the Israelites pure f any defilement s Jesus culd be brn as the Saviur f the Wrld frm a PURE bldline. The devil was trying t defile the Isrealites s jesus wuld nt beable t be brn. In the 60 s and 70 s, if ne wanted t wrship Ba al-per, ne had t g t seedy theaters where prn flicks were being shwn. Many cities had these theaters that many men wuld g t and they wuld be titillated by whast they saw, and the wuld ejaculate all ver the seats and the flr f these theaters. Tday, we have access t all f the prn yu can stand, as yu can pull prn up n the internet in the cmfrt f yur wn hme. Frm yur basement, living rm r bedrm, yu can watch all f the prn yu can stand and make yur sacrifices t Ba al-per thrugh masturbatin r thrugh the participatin f a partner f either sex. 4

As always, take NOTHING that yu have seen here in this bk as the truth. It is YOUR respnsibility t study and check ut everything that yu see and hear, and yu have an advcate in the Lrd Jesus Christ wh will help yu if yu wuld just ask Him. Take this upn yurself, Christian, as YOU need t get YOUR Bible, YOUR cncrdance, YOUR dictinary, YOUR pens/pencils, YOUR ntepad and then YOU need t seek ut the Lrd Jesus Christ and ask Him t help YOU s YOU can make it int His Kingdm, since it will be YOU standing alne in frnt f Jesus when YOU are being judged. It is YOUR respnsibility t make sure YOU are in the faith and that YOU have cmpleted YOUR sanctificatin during the sanctificatin prcess and YOU have gtten YOUR frgiveness and YOU have repented f all f YOUR sins befre YOU are judged by Jesus. Scripture tells us that hell will enlargen itself t accmmdate all f the peple wh will be sent there because f idls like the ppe, as yu can see in scripture here: Isaiah 5:14 - Therefre hell hath enlarged herself, and pened her muth withut measure: and their glry, and their multitude, and their pmp, and he that rejiceth, shall descend int it. Take this as a warning, Christian, as the Lrd Jesus Christ is NOT desperate fr peple, as there were nly 8 peple wh gt n the ark befre the fld, and nly 2 peple frm the Hebrews frm Egypt made it int the Prmised Land. Be wise, and stay IN Jesus s yu are nt lst. 5

Here is Our Challenge t all f yu: We challenge yu t g t Jesus directly RIGHT NOW and ask Him if what is shwn here is true. Use this as a means t start a cnversatin with The Lrd Jesus Christ and sit with Him and ask Him questins. Start with (asking ut lud): Jesus, is what I just read true? He will answer yu, Christian; use this as an pprtunity t start the cnversatin with the Lrd Jesus Christ. Keep talking with Him. Get t knw Him and He will start t reveal Himself t yu. Yu need t find ut fr yurself if what yu supprt r believe is true, and what better way t find ut than t ask the Lrd Himself? Yu need t find ut fr yurself and wrk ut YOUR salvatin fr YOU, as the scriptures tell us t. 6
