Baal






What if Baal was never a being to begin with, however more of a common act? A verb? Or even a metaphor for everyday living and understandings of our life on earth as we know it?

“God is not angry at us for living” ...

As long as the cherubs in Heaven keep saying “Holy, Holy, Holy.” I’m not going to disbelieve what I just thought about a certain observation on a FB religion group. The word “lord” is an alternate word for “Baal”. Then tonight I was compelled to discern the fear mongering into common sense. Baal means idol worship, but even an engine is an idol which is my concern as well as I come to faceting a comprehensive understanding before the fear pulls people into too much panic over Yahweh who told John in the writing of 4:18 that he did not want him to teach a religion of fear.

I’m not trying to attack religion either; it is necessary for connecting to God. But faith tells me my only Lord is Yeshua, and/or Christ Jesus. We live a life of enough fear from the Baal of doubt in this world. Your faith keeps you on this forum because you believe the way I do on that matter. I’m pretty sure the people in that group mean well but they are missing a key point. Lord Jesus should always be the Lord Christ.

We are balancing a conflict of fear and doubt. I learned a short not to long of a time ago how to avoid taking matters into my own hands instead of trusting in God. I’m anything but stagnant, but there is way too much fearmongering going on FB right now from a few hotshot Christian groups. I posted this diagram there earlier, but it got auto deleted by FB AI, this is what I was looking into when I was delving for answers on Google...

I have also realized that if this is true that then we are also needing church at this very moment, and I know definably I would be hard pressed to pray the same way a Seraphim does...

I think you're overthinking the whole thing :) Your AI word-search is correct - 'baal' just means master / lord / owner in Hebrew, it's a normal everyday word, and was also used for an idol.

E.g. in Israel nowadays one can still use the word 'baali' to say 'my husband' (literally 'my owner') ... It's quite straightforward, do you have a particular question left you're still pondering?
