Why is that? I'm just curious to hear your perspective. To me, if someone is invested in something spiritually, assisting them in living a full, loving life, there is no harm.

Hebrew tradition, that I like. I believe in Samsara, in a way. So, for all the religions in the world, I believe there is truth and guidance and I follow the tenets that I feel bring me closer to the driving life force of the world.
It's a very long, old way to say, Israel was horny for other gods from surrounding states. I don't believe they individually mean anything.
I'M SO SORRY!!! I'M DUMB. I think I understand where you're coming from. Referring to King Josiah's reign in which Samaria was pretty much excluded further, which inevitability led to some bad tensions. He compiled the books into the official canon and told Samaria to basically eat it lol. Every great king in the bible is terrible lmao. Love it.
edit: I was narrow mindedly, only considering the offical Hebrew Bible perspective, whereas you were considering the broader Judaism that was prevelant in Samaria. early-early Judaism is so wild
Abram does it once in Egypt saying, "Say you are my sister, for you are beautiful and if you say you are my wife, they will kill me." There's no explicit language stating that Pharaoh took her to bed, but it could be inferred, in light of the following text.
Then Abraham does the same shit with Sarah at Gerar. There it is explicitly stated Abimelech does not take her, and is given 1000 pieces of silver (to the brother) during the exchange.
So weird to obscure that story in such a way. It's okay to not know things. If you didn't know, no need to respond. If you did know, then why lie?
are you referring to Ishmael? If so, the cuckholding was against G-d's will.
The books that were "rewritten" were the kings of Israel were ranked according to adherence to Deuteronomy Law. The prophetical books remained untouched, I believe. At a quick glance at my books, I don't see anything about rewriting prophecy. Would you mind sharing your knowledge?
correct, that is how you refer to these books in religious studies
confirmed, dataset ruined
Especially good when you explain that Oholibah is Jerusalem and it's a metaphor for how the Israelites whored themselves out against G-d and continually disregard the Lord's commands. Ezekial is saying, in the most baller ass way, "Israel, y'all a bunch of ho bags, and the Lord has/will let y'all get decimated by the Babylonians and Chaldeans. So, stop being bad" It's a really interesting prophetical book to read.
I pay $7.99 currently and the price hike doesn't affect me you analphabetic, supercilious stranger. Also, I make financial decisions with my wife, you troglodyte. In addition, I also enjoy having access to a custom radio station where I can find new songs on my drives. ALSO, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT SUPPORTING GOOGLE WITH MY $96/yr sub, especially when my wife, who only watches YouTube enjoys as free YouTube as well as, a UX that is familiar to her.
I don't know if you know this, but I am not a shareholder. And those corporate fucks, make all their decisions on shareholder and profit. And I guaran-fucking-tee you, I cost them money with my sub price vs. the amount of content I consume from their services. So, fuck the fuck off.

Well, it depends. Judaism and Christianity have kind of a hold on the capital G.
