[Cicero]

Asherah was the Canaanite Mother Goddess, probably the same as Astarte and maybe Ishtar.

She was hardly "God's wife." There were times when some of the Jews turned to worshipping idols and pagan gods. In fact, that was the principle reason for the Babylonian Exile.

So, sure, no doubt some Jews turned away from the true God, and maybe some of them even said that Asharah was God's wife.

They were wrong. That had nothing to do with the true Jewish religion. To pretend otherwise is just another effort to undermine traditional religion, both Jewish and Christian, and to undermine the Bible.

My 5 year old daughter came over and saw me scrolling through the thread. When she saw this pic she shouted out, “Ewwww, gee that’s gross!” She hasn’t seen the multi-breast doll yet.

That's pretty much the way this post strikes me. Who you pitching for, caldera?

Thank you, exactly. Asherah was worshiped by people in the middle east and some Israeli Hebrews walked away from their faith and worshiped her amongst other Gods. He is twisting it to make it look like she is a true part of the faith.
