Featured Whom Did the Israelites Worship in the Golden Calf Incident?

I showed you Exodus 32:5. Show us how Aaron did not say what he said.

 

Again, we seem to be arguing two sides of the same coin. There is no argument that the actual worship was not of YHWH, but of a god made by men. This does not mean that Aaron intended his man-centered attempt to be a worship of YHWH since he clearly makes that claim in Exodus 32:5. Do you deny that Aaron makes that claim?
The error of free will doctrine and Aaron's man-centered attempt to worship God by his personal imaginings is a parallel of those who insist they are autonomous and thus get to decide how they get saved and how they worship YHWH. Humans have a hard time letting God be the Sovereign Lord who chooses.

 

My goodness...I gave you the Bible reference. I gave you the commentaries in this Bible reference. Figure it out. At this point it seems you are simply obfuscating.

 

Remember, "baal", in its various forms & pronunciations, meant "lord".

 

Look up what Hebrew word is used in Exodus 32:5 that the translators use as Lord. The word is...YHWH.

Exodus 32:5 Hebrew Text Analysis

 

Still spewing a false gospel writen by your self LOL!

Well, the image for Baal had been a bovine with U-shaped horns for awhile before Aaron's calf.

 

Who cares. What is the Hebrew word Aaron used in Exodus 32:5 when he called the people to worship?
Hint: It's YHWH

 

But DID they worship YHWH then? NUPE !

 

Again, God makes it clear they substituted God for their man-centered idol, whom they named YHWH. There is no argument there. They thought they were worshipping YHWH. God says they weren't.

Is that any different from the myriads of people who call themselves Christians (or Baptists) but have a man-centered theology that says they are the ones who chose God? I will state that a person who promotes their free will as the means by which they were saved is no better than the Israelites who made a calf and called it God. Both demand that they control God and worship the god of their own creation.

 

The Israelis knew God didn't want any statues or images made that were supposed to look like Him, especially since they didn't know what He looks like, except that He's daid, "Let's make man in our own image."

And free will is apparent. Otherwise, why have God's word, preachers, etc? Why did Jesus send His followers to "make disciples in all nations", etc? nIf they were predestinated, they'd automatically become disciples. They wouldn't hafta be made into disciples.

 

You have departed from Exodus 32:5.

 

Not at all. I believe the Israelis knew not to make images of/to the real God.

 

God told Moses before he went back down and informed Moses the people were worshipping an idol.
However, Aaron, acted and said the idol was YHWH.
What we get from this is that humans can easily go against God and create their own version of worship that God hates because the human creation is not worshipping the Creator, but instead worships the created.

 

You are ignoring the point in Exodus 32:5.

 

What does Exodus 32:5 tell you?
