/christian/ - Christian Discussion and Fellowship

I've never heard that one. What Jew came up with it?

>>686122

Archeologists found a pottery shard with an ox-headed deity labelled "YHWH", and rather than conclude it had anything to do with how the Bible says the Jews mixed the true faith with Canaanite paganism, they instead decided it meant that that YHWH and Baal were the same.

ah, the objective and impartial historicist method strikes again :^)

>we discuss why they're not.

In the bible God directly tells the jews not to worship Baal.

>Christianity starts to enter Scandinavia

>Syncretic faiths spawn and some Norse equate Jesus with Thor

>Numerous artwork spawns with this

>Several thousand years passed

>Some retard discovers said Norse artefacts

>"Acktchualily, Jesus was a figure from Norse paganism and later imported by Christianity"

This is how these morons sound like

Also

>Baal

This wasnt an idol itself, its a title, meaning "lord", used even today. Actual idols had names such as "Baal Hadad", "Baal Zaphon" and so on

>b-but muh diablo 2 game told me about baal!

>tfw Ba’al is just Master in Hebrew

>tfw Adonai means basically the same thing

I’ve literally heard it’s jewish tradition that if someone pronounced YHWH correctly the universe would implode or something. Now I just think it came from them being able to say any fallen angel they happen to conjure up is “my Adonai” or “my Ba’al” instead of following Yahweh and his son Jesus.

I think you're reading a bit too much into it. I don't think the early Blizzard devs were satanists trying to corrupt the youth. They struck me as more like Gen X metalhead edgelords trying to be edgy and "cool" in a dominantly boomer Christian culture. Your pics aren't that bad for edgelords being edgelords; there's a lot of actual occult and satanic symbols that are missing from the games that real satanists would have snuck in.

>would it not make sense for Baal to be inverted "the other half" of YWYH?

No, because God is three persons and He has no equal opposite force.

It's been a while, but didn't the shrines in Diablo only turn into demon-heads when you got cursed instead of blessed, sort of a rogue-likeish element of chance?

There's a difference between those things?
