The word "cannibal" means something like "priesthood of baal"

[74x12]

The word "cannibal" means something like "priesthood of baal" in Hebrew or Phoenician. Is anyone concerned?

There is evidence that Baal was worshiped in the British isles since ancient times. Take the "Celtic" holy time of "Beltaine". Is it really BAALtaine?

 

[Spiderman]

Jesus sanctioned cannabalism and taught the importance of his followers committing themselves to eating flesh and drinking blood, that they may have life in them. I explain it here:

I'm not that ignorant. I knew this. In fact I've likely been to the same website. The fact is, it means what it means in the Hebrew or Phoenician in spite of all the counter explanations.

What "evidence"?

Beltaine is from common Celtic and means "bright fire", it has nothing to do with cannibalism.

And on what evidence do you base this... "fact"?

I thought it just meant an organism that ate its own species.
Aren't you reading an awful lot into this?

I'm pretty sure it's a formal dance party held to celebrate marijuana.

Either that, or I'm re-gifting these tickets.

Jesus still had his fleshly body when offering the bread and wine during the Lord's evening meal. Consequently, he did not perform a miracle changing the bread and wine into literal flesh and blood (know as transubstantiation).
This is not contradicted by Jesus' words at John 6:51, Jesus was not here discussing the Lord's Evening Meal since such an arrangement was not instituted until a year later.

Drinking blood was a violation of God's law to Noah prior to the law covenant.(ge 9:4) Thus Jesus Christ would never instruct others to violate God's law.

The bread and wine are, therefore emblems or symbolism representing Christ's flesh and blood. Jesus had said to those offended by his words:" for a fact , the bread that I shall give is my flesh in behalf of the life of the world"(Joh 6:51).

No one ever literally ate any of his flesh or drank his blood.
It was figurative.

This is a conversation on another thread.

Jesus made it very clear that people had to eat him and every Christian Church was teaching that he spoke literally for over a thousand years. You are saying that Jesus didn't mean what he said. All Scriptures on the topic in the new testament indicate he was speaking literally. The writings of early Christian leaders indicate the same!

A cannibal is someone who litrrally or symbolicly eats
his own, ah, "kind".

The counter explanations cannot explain it's peculiar resemblance to ancient Hebrew/Phoenician for "priesthood of baal". Through research and reading; I've come to the conclusion that Baal worship was likely in Britain and Ireland in ancient times as well as the Atlantic coast of ancient North America. (Brought there by Celts and possibly Phoenicians). This shouldn't be surprising considering the wide seafaring ways of the Phoenicians. The Irish themselves most likely came from Iberia at some point. They seem to possibly be related to the "Basque" people.

We know of the Phoenician influence on the peninsula of Iberia.

Nonsense. Literally thousands of words sound like other words across languages.

"Through research and reading"? You mean you found a word that coincidentally sorta kinda sounds like another word and made a bunch of stuff up. Stuff that not only has no textual, archaeological or cultural evidence, but that also runs directly against the textual, archaeological and cultural evidence we DO have. Beltain means "bright fire" it has nothing to do with Baal or cannibalism.

And hey, there are (questionable) contemporary accounts of Celts actually being cannibals, and even if those accounts are wrong, they most certainly practiced ritual sacrifice and head hunting. Their traditions still had nothing to do with Baal or Phoenicia.

Nope, the Hebrew קניבל translates as "cannibal," a person who eats the flesh of other human beings.

Well anyone who has read Caesar's Gallic Wars knows that the Gauls were purportedly into human sacrifice on a large scale. They would basically vow sacrifices before a battle and if they won; they would sacrifice their captives to please their patron deity. This practice died down when they learned they could sell captives to the Romans instead in exchange for wine or other valuables.

How do you know the British and Irish weren't influenced by Baal or Phoenicia? I suggest the compelling book America B.C. by Barry Fell

I'm talking about the ancient Hebrew and Phoenician. The modern word "cannibal" is not what is in question. I'm arguing about the origins of the word. Note the similarities with the name Hannibal the famous Punic general.
