Luke 15, the prodigal son. The older brother is Judaism, the younger Christianity.

This seems interesting for itself.

Though I can't quite see how Christianity is directly related to Jezebel.

My views on Christology square primarily with Hyam Maccoby’s Revolution In Judea: Jesus and the Jewish Resistance. Primarily, that Jesus was vying for the “kingship” of the Jews in the same sense that David, Solomon and other Kings Of Israel had been so “annointed” and hailed as “Messiah” during and after their reigns. This is likewise at odds with Jesus’ “divinity”, which seems a likely amalgam of Hellenism and further invention of Paul. Though - even at the expense of the Jews - it makes a great story.

Otherwise for me, not two, nor three...four, or literally the millions of godheads of Hinduism will do.

As it says in the Sh’ma, “God is One.” And that’s one enough for me.

Thanks for coming back!

Check out Proverbs 7.

Proverbs 7 1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. 2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my Torah as the apple of thine eye. 3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. 4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:

5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.

1 Kings 16

Ahab Becomes King of Israel

29 In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab son of Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria over Israel twenty-two years. 30 Ahab son of Omri did more evil in the eyes of the LORD than any of those before him. 31 He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he also married Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal and worship him. 32 He set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he built in Samaria. 33 Ahab also made an Asherah pole and did more to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger than did all the kings of Israel before him.

Revelation 2

20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

Same ‘foreign’ woman (Jezebel) from Proverbs 7. That’s gonna hurt.

Matthew 16

1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven. 2 He replied, "When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,' 3 and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 4 A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah." Jesus then left them and went away.

***

You might think that the wicked and adulterous would be in the same category, they’re not. Adultery = false teachings. Goggle ‘spiritual mapping’ and you’ll find a ton of Christian sites, they seem to be more interested in haSatan then the Torah.
