This document provides an overview of Glenn Young's theory that Christianity was influenced by the ancient rivalry between the gods Ba'al and Yahweh. It summarizes key points from Young's analysis, including that Ba'al was the dominant and most popular god in the region for thousands of years, while Yahweh was relatively unknown. Archaeological discoveries at Ugarit revealed that the Canaanite culture made many contributions to religion and writing systems. Young argues that with political and social crises, one god could become another, and that Christianity incorporated elements of the older Ba'al religion.

Paganism/Idolatry...There is nothing new under the sun..Eccles 1:9Anthony Bravo
A large portion of The Word is dedicated to keeping us away from false gods. Many of our spiritual leaders either have no clue as to what paganism is or are directly involved in paganism thus leading the people astray from Yaweh. This is the 4th study which will tackle this issue as to who or what is paganism. So by the end of the study you will know who is Yaweh talking about when He asks you to "stay away from other gods."
For thousands of years, Sunday has been touted as the high day of the Lord by self proclaimed Christians. Although it is universally accepted throughout the world, like so many other matters pertaining to the word of God, this belief opposes God’s law, specifically the 4th commandment.
Sunday has a dual origin that first comes from paganism and then later stems from the self willed ideologies of man.
In Christian circles the issue of Bible translations is often viewed as too confusing to really come to any solid conclusions. Among conservatives, such as in the Seventh-day Adventist denomination, the issue is a very hot topic, rather tending toward a dogma of the KJV. This presentation seeks to clarify the true issues; hopefully leading to a rational, well-founded perspective.
When the Antichrist (Abomination of Desolation) sits in the temple in Jerusalem and proclaims himself to be god, then the end is very very near. Jesus warns them to “head for the hills” because “For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.” This sounds pretty bad… Not Yet Fulfilled, but when it is, it’s just before when Jesus returns. As he said “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive (Mat 24:16-22).” This is when Jesus returns and stops all the madness, throws the Antichrist into the lake of fire, and establishes His Kingdom on Earth.
The climax of the book of Revelation is unarguably the return of Christ. What precedes in the judgments (Rev 1-18) proves his right to judge and what follows (Rev 20-22) is simply the "mopping up" operation.

In this study I have explored a number of resources to glean information on the god Baal in order to understand why this god has been such a rival of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. How can it be that this god, who is no god at all, could be such a rival to Jehovah that God's people could not be kept from worshiping him, rather than the God who brought them out of Egypt, and did all kinds of amazing miracles on their behalf? The battles to stop the people from this false idolatry seem endless as we read the Old Testament. They may succeed for awhile, but soon the people are back following the worship of this enemy to Jehovah. What is the secret to the power of this god made up by the minds of pagans? How could the worship of this deity become so popular that the only way God could eliminate it was to send his people in great judgment out of the Promised Land that he had led them into? The goal of this study is to make sense of this mystery.

It is important to know that God made us to have emotions, therefore, having emotions in itself, is not a sin. However, if we are not careful, satan can manipulate our emotions, such as anger, and cause us to hate or kill another person! Satan can lead one to believe that the lust they have is really “love,” justifying acts of adultery, fornication and sodomy.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
