Can you just tell us why?

I hope you take comment #3 in the way I meant it. It is to provide a little levity and promote some conversation on the subject, which is actually very interesting.

Thanks for posting this thread.

I know who made these golden idols...

It was because of Aaron’s poor leadership.
Today’s teachings of false
doctrines in so many churches are a direct reflection of this.
We a humans and we sin

This is such a bum rap against the Israelites! Even Aaron said that it ‘just crawled out of the fire’. How could anyone think the first High Priest lied? /sar

Thank you so very much for this link.

While I do a lot of reading from Chabad’s website, I pretty much avoid video/audio lessons. Not from their site in particular, just in a general sense. That’s because no matter the topic, I inadvertantly disengage after a minute or so and can’t maintain focus.

But this topic was especially intriguing, so I clicked anyway. This rabbi’s lesson was so engaging that I was completely engrossed for the entire hour +. He has a talent for making his side topics and tangents so interesting that I wasn’t impatiently waiting for him to “get to the point”. He then tied every one of his tangents into his summary and conclusion. Now *that’s* the kind of speaker I can listen to 24/7. And I will be spending as much time as I am able catching up with his lessons.

There is much I could comment about the lesson, but where to start? I’ll just say that his brief remarks at the end drew to mind words from the derailed’s own sources, that witness to the truth of Rabbi Kaplan’s comments.

Thanks again.

Look at the cult of the Apus bull.

Let me take Aaron’s statement a little further. What if the golden calf that emerged from the pot was self forming and animated (at least initially), that would certainly trick the nervous people into worshiping it. Was that an opening the devil took advantage of?

That was great! Thank you so much for the link.

The Israelites copied the worship of the calf from the Egyptians, who worshiped the god “Hapi” under the form of a male calf.
This in turn was copied from the Babylonians,who used the bull as a symbol of Nimrod. Not only was a bull chosen
because it symbolized might and strength, the Chaldee word
for “bull” also carried a double meaning. Nimrod as a king
was a ruler of the people, and the name for “ruler” is “Tur,” that also means “bull” in Chaldee. Thus the bull
was chosen to symbolize Nimrod in his worship.
