Cananite Religion and Culture

Cananite Religion and Culture

The greatest problem for Israel during the time of the judges was Cananite religion.

Why was it so attractive? The cosmopolitanism and material wealth, large urban centres, architecture, trade, political organization and more. The Cananite religion supported all of this.

It was also highly sexualized. The system of sacred prostitutes, priestesses of Baal allowed people to combine sensual pleasures with worship of Baal. This was attractive to many Israelites. See also Numbers 25 where the Israelites are seduced by the Moabite women.

Numbers 25:1-9
While Israel was staying at Shittim, the men began to have sex with Moabite women. The women invited them to the sacrifices for their gods, and they ate and bowed down to their gods. So Israel yoked (joined) themselves to the Baal of Peor. And the LORD's anger burned against them. The LORD said to Moses, "Take all the chiefs of the people and hang them in the sun before the LORD, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel.” Moses said to the judges of Israel, "Each of you kill those of his men who have yoked themselves to Baal of Peor.” Then an Israelite man brought into the camp a Midianite woman right before the eyes of Moses and the whole assembly of Israel while they were weeping at the entrance to the tent of meeting. When Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, saw this, he left the assembly, took a spear in his hand and followed the Israelite into the tent. He drove the spear into both of them, right through the Israelite man and into the woman's stomach. Then the plague against the Israelites was stopped. Those who died by the plague were 24,000.

1 Corinthians 10:8
We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.

If people had any understanding of the Archaology regarding the Cananitees we would have wiped them of the face of the earth like ISIS

Arthur, brother,
I can still hear my beloved Jewish grandmother, who raised me my first 12 years of life, implore me, beg me, "please neily, NEVER marry a 'shiksa'." (Yiddish slang for a Gentile girl)

of course I said, "no Grammy, I never will"...and in effect, I didn't. She would have loved the mother of my son.

Those were wonderful days with my grandmother, she never yelled or screamed, always good food, she was the one who put me into synagogue at age 7, I was a good boy, always at the top of my class in studies, etc.

don't know why I responded as such, but I did, God love you, n.

you wrote:

"If people had any understanding of the Archaology regarding the Cananitees we would have wiped them of the face of the earth like ISIS".

let me tell you; "ISIS" is the creation of non-arab , non middle eastern, VERY powerful geo-political chess players.

you can disagree with me, that's okay, but I know what i'm talking about.

secondly...."wiped them of(off?) the face of the earth like ISIS"?

you ever worn the uniform? been in a combat zone? lived on military food?...stared into the abyss of your death?

probably not, I would wager. no offense. I get so impatient when I read civilians writing about "wiping" people off the earth.

are we at war?

yes.

is it a religious war?

yes.

is it World War III?

yes.

well, then sign those papers to serve the queen, put on the uniform, get trained up, then you can speak of wiping jihadi's from the face of earth.

know what though? 1000 AD, the crusaders streamed out of Europe to take Jerusalem, so much blood, so much death.

Now, the tide is reversed, and your leaders have left the back door open, all of Europe is prone to the arabs, England as well, and you are all finished, done...whole neighborhoods of London under "sharia" law, vast portions of the "EU" with a multitude of wannabe and gonnabe jiihadi's just incubating.

the horror of Nice, terrible bloody horror is but a prelude of what is going to happen to Europe and England.....and I don't write that with "joy or glee"....it's all so grievous, but equally so were your words, about "wiping" people away.....a warrior NEVER thinks like that.

God love you, neil

What I was meaning is that if you understood how terrible there culture is,
The archaeology of Canaan is interesting to the degree

Most of what you have posted is of the subject, What I am saying is that we use judgements to define the aspect of whether we should go into war or not, as God for one is a better judge than any man.

I put links to some of the archaeology of Canaan I was doing a parallel to there culture, I did not want to post anything to do with there culture as it is to disgusting to post online

What I was trying to say is that God has the absolute right to destroy life as he has created it, in the view of say Canaan, as God is good in his nature. We make judgements against cultures say Islam or say other cultures where we place ourselves in the place of God

Genesis 18:25 KJV
That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

"If people had any understanding of the Archaology regarding the Cananitees we would have wiped them of the face of the earth like ISIS"

When I said this quote you quoted me I actually posted a link to someone who explains the archaeology of Canaan

I have done archaeology in Israel in TIberius during the Roman/ Islamic period and have dealt with Muslims at Speakers Corner and have read the Quran.

I am not quoting purely what some of our leaders such as David Cameron stated
David Cameron: it is Britain's duty to attack Isis in Syria
http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/dec/02/david-cameron-syria-debate-isis-britains-duty

Many of our leaders have used the equivalence but God has the absolute right to wipe anybody of the face of this earth as he created them in the first place, he just moves them to a different place.

Do you have higher morals than God ?

Job 38 New King James Version (NKJV)
The Lord Reveals His Omnipotence to Job

38 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:

2
"Who is this who darkens counsel
By words without knowledge?
3
Now prepare yourself like a man;
I will question you, and you shall answer Me.

4
"Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Tell Me, if you have understanding.
5
Who determined its measurements?
Surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
6
To what were its foundations fastened?
Or who laid its cornerstone,
7
When the morning stars sang together,
And all the sons of God shouted for joy?

8
"Or who shut in the sea with doors,
When it burst forth and issued from the womb;
9
When I made the clouds its garment,
And thick darkness its swaddling band;
10
When I fixed My limit for it,
And set bars and doors;
11
When I said,
‘This far you may come, but no farther,
And here your proud waves must stop!’

12
"Have you commanded the morning since your days began,
And caused the dawn to know its place,
13
That it might take hold of the ends of the earth,
And the wicked be shaken out of it?
14
It takes on form like clay under a seal,
And stands out like a garment.
15
From the wicked their light is withheld,
And the upraised arm is broken.

16
"Have you entered the springs of the sea?
Or have you walked in search of the depths?
17
Have the gates of death been revealed to you?
Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?
18
Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth?
Tell Me, if you know all this.

19
"Where is the way to the dwelling of light?
And darkness, where is its place,
20
That you may take it to its territory,
That you may know the paths to its home?
21
Do you know it, because you were born then,
Or because the number of your days is great?

22
"Have you entered the treasury of snow,
Or have you seen the treasury of hail,
23
Which I have reserved for the time of trouble,
For the day of battle and war?
24
By what way is light diffused,
Or the east wind scattered over the earth?

25
"Who has divided a channel for the overflowing water,
Or a path for the thunderbolt,
26
To cause it to rain on a land where there is no one,
A wilderness in which there is no man;
27
To satisfy the desolate waste,
And cause to spring forth the growth of tender grass?
28
Has the rain a father?
Or who has begotten the drops of dew?
29
From whose womb comes the ice?
And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth?
30
The waters harden like stone,
And the surface of the deep is frozen.

31
"Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades,
Or loose the belt of Orion?
32
Can you bring out Mazzaroth[a] in its season?
Or can you guide the Great Bear with its cubs?
33
Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?
Can you set their dominion over the earth?

34
"Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,
That an abundance of water may cover you?
35
Can you send out lightnings, that they may go,
And say to you, ‘Here we are!’?
36
Who has put wisdom in the mind?[b]
Or who has given understanding to the heart?
37
Who can number the clouds by wisdom?
Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven,
38
When the dust hardens in clumps,
And the clods cling together?

39
"Can you hunt the prey for the lion,
Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
40
When they crouch in their dens,
Or lurk in their lairs to lie in wait?
41
Who provides food for the raven,
When its young ones cry to God,
And wander about for lack of food?

Can we not trust God regarding life as he holds it in his hands
