Kalkin714 Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 In the 28th chapter of Genesis Ya`akov (Jacob), after having a dream about a 'ladder' reaching up to heaven with angels 'limbing' it and God standing at the top(12), erects a 'pillar' with the stone he was using for a pillow and concecrates it with oil (18). He calls the place Beit-El ('Bethel' in english, which means 'House of God') (19). He even specificly says that the stone pillar itself was "God's house" (22). And he later, in chapter 35 v14, erects another one on the road from Paddan-Aram after God apears to Him and gives him a new name, Yisra'el (Israel) . (Which he also calls Beit-El). How much do you think this is like the modern and historical Hindu Linga worship? Aum! Shanti! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
