False religion. [ Revelation 2 v 14- 16]

In the OT we read of the worship of Baal,here is few thoughts on this worship, the word Baal means Master,Lord,Possessor or even husband.
Gordon Bridger in his book writes,that Baal is seen not as a personal,but
rather an impersonal force.Now this Baal was a god of man kinds own making,it is a god that appeared to be suited to the people who followed it.
                           Baalism was a sexually corrupt religion.
It has touches of Mormonism,or even Islam with their multiplicity of wives,
they had cult prostitutes ,who did not do it for money,but in obedience ,and devotion their god. As I observe Islam it saddens me at what their religion demands of them.
                             Baalism was a frenzied religion.
You see this in 1 Kings 18,where we see Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal,to pray to their god to send down fire to burn up a sacrifice.So we read they got themselves in frenzy that they leaped upon the altar,they  cried  aloud,and cut themselves with knives,but to no avail.Consider the prophet Elijahs response, a simple prayer,and fire came down ,and burnt up everything.
                            Baalism was a cruel religion.
There was the real possibility that they practised child sacrifice,It is sad how cruel some religions are,even those who classed them selves as Christian,were very, very,cruel,the Spanish inquisition is an example of this.
Christianty surely should never be cruel,after all Christ was never cruel.
    As regards religion there are many options,unfortunately,as G Bridger
writes ,false religion has no eternal significance,in other words it will
never save.
                             A prayer.
Dear God preserve us from false religion, no matter how it is dressed up,
  in Jesus name Amen.
