Sun-Worship the Oldest and Most Widely Diffused1 Form of Paganism—Gnostic Antinomianism or Lawlessness—Anti-Judaism, Mainly of Pagan Origin—Anti-Sabbathism and Sunday Observance Synchronous—Anti-Lawism and Anti-Sabbathism Unscriptural—Christ’s Teachings Concerning the Law of God; Paul’s Teachings on the Same—Destructive Effect of Pagan Lawlessness on Christianity.
The sun-god, under various names, Mithras, Baal, Apollo, etc., was the chief god of the heathen pantheon. A direct conflict between him and Jehovah appears wherever paganism and revealed religion came in contact. As “Baal,” “Lord” of the universe and of the productive forces in nature and in man, this sun-god was the pre-eminent divinity in ancient Palestine and throughout Ph?nicia. The chosen people of God were assailed2 and corrupted3 by this cult4, even while they were in the desert,[143] being led away by the women of Moab. During the period of the Judges, Baal-worship was the besetting5 sin of Israel, which the most vigorous measures could not eradicate6.[144][157] A reformation came under Saul and David, only to be followed by a relapse under Solomon, which culminated7 in the exclusion8 of Jehovah-worship under Ahab.[145] Jehu broke the power of the cult, for a time, but the people soon returned to it.[146] It also spread like a virus through Judah; repressed by Hezekiah, but continued by Manasseh.[147]
This worship of the sun-god was a sign of disloyalty to Jehovah, and formed the certain road to wickedness and impurity9.[148]
