Hi @Carson i thought this was a very interesting concept. I completely understand @lakshmi’s discomfort with this idea. After all, Deut 18:9 tells the Israelites not to even imitate the practices of pagan nations. I’ve taken this to mean that not only do they not imitate worship of pagan gods, but they must also not imitate the pagan practices even if they’re directed to Yahweh.
At the same time, there are examples in scripture of using pagan concepts and ideas to emphasise how much greater Yahweh is. One example that comes to mind is that of Jonah being swallowed by a fish before going to preach in Nineveh. The irony of this story is that the main deity of Ninevah was the fish god, Dagon. Here, Yahweh seems to be using this pagan symbolism to convict and humble Jonah to obedience. God’s use of Dagon symbolism shows that Yahweh is really the one in control of the sea, not Dagon. Another example is when Elijah competes with the prophets of Baal to see which deity will set fire to the altar. Baal, the god of fire cannot do it, whilst Yahweh does even after Elijah drenches it in water. Both examples borrow from pagan symbolism and religious language to emphasise a deep theological truth.
So are these examples contradicting Deut 18:9? I believe not, because the pagan practices aren’t being used as a genuine worship practice. In fact, Yahweh is mocking the pagan practice by showing their inadequacy up.
Regarding Psalm 29, my Bible study notes (The Apologetics Study Bible, Holman Bible Publishers 2017) says the following:
In the Canaanite religious texts, Baal caused the storms with a sevenfold peak of thunder, but in this Psalm we are told seven times that it was “the voice of the LORD”.
The rewriting of a Canaanite text glorifies Yahweh as the true God. The clever literary devices of repetition contribute to this clear message.
Yes, I was wondering if you know of a copy of the Canaanite version online anywhere? I’d be interested to compare.
I think this is a very wise caution. We must be clear that the Bible only imitates certain pagan things to highlight their inferiority. We must be careful not to think that the Bible is suggesting we can take a pagan practice and ‘Christianise’ it for Christian worship. One example might be ‘Jesus deck’ cards that are the ‘Christian’ version of tarot cards. I believe that in imitating practices in this way is a direct defiance of Deut 18:9. I think this discussion could be extended to the idea of ‘holy yoga’, the idea of taking a Hindu worship practice and doing it for Jesus. It could be a whole other topic!! Shall I do it
