lilithu said:The prophet was Elijah. And the contest was between the Yahweh, the God of Abraham and the Israelites, and Baal, the god of the Caananites.
It also explains why God is a jealous god, doesn't it? Hard to be jealous if you're the only god. Basically, Yahweh picked Abraham and said, "You. I need followers - all those other gods have followers - and you are going to be the one I stake my fortunes on. Promise to worship only me, circumcize yourself and all the males in your household as a sign of your allegiance - and in return I will give you as many descendants are there are stars in the sky."
Of course, it's hard to reconcile this god with the one who created heaven and earth in Genesis I.
Is this what your religion teaches you?? thats ubsrud! how can a prophet of god worship other gods while still recieving revelation from him??? completly absurd. In islam we believe that prophet (though they do make mistakes) don't worship gods other then god!! i mean if they, the ones recieving revelation did this then we would have an excuse. and wuts this jelous god buisness?? God doesn't get jelous why would he? you don't worship him you go to hell period. he doesn't need worship lol that really is wierd man read about islam!!!
