The Battle for the Will

A Battle Between Two Belief Systems

Baal

A system rooted in:

The capacity to secure life for self by the manipulation and control of the gifts of the creator

The self-centered management that always leads to an antineighbor ethic.

Yahweh

A system of belief rooted in:

the divine providence in the creator alone.

The creator is a righteous God who does what is best for His people.

This righteous God will always lead people from self-centered accumulation to life-giving other centeredness.
