Does anyone know where it says in the bible that these false worshipers cut themselves?

Seems like I remember something about it and this prophet put water on his sacrifice and it blew up like a bomb hit his sacrifice and it licked up even the water he poured around it.


The false worshippers were Baal and they cut themselves and tried to get a fire going. nothing happened.Does anyone know where it says in the bible that these false worshipers cut themselves?
You forgot the part where Elijah's sacrifice was sucked up.


That was cool.


30 At length E·li´jah said to all the people: “Approach me.” So all the people approached him. Then he proceeded to mend the altar of Jehovah that was torn down. 31 So E·li´jah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom Jehovah’s word had come, saying: “Israel is what your name will become.” 32 And he went on to build the stones into an altar in the name of Jehovah and to make a trench, of about the area sowed with two seah measures of seed, all around the altar. 33 After that he put the pieces of wood in order and cut the young bull in pieces and placed it upon the pieces of wood. He now said: “FILL four large jars with water and pour it upon the burnt offering and upon the pieces of wood.” 34 Then he said: “Do it again.” So they did it again. But he said: “Do it a third time.” So they did it a third time. 35 Thus the water went all around the altar, and the trench also he filled with water.


36 And it came about at the time that the grain offering goes up that E·li´jah the prophet began to approach and say: “O Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, today let it be known that you are God in Israel and I am your servant and it is by your word that I have done all these things. 37 Answer me, O Jehovah, answer me, that this people may know that you, Jehovah, are the [true] God and you yourself have turned their heart back.”


38 At that the fire of Jehovah came falling and went eating up the burnt offering and the pieces of wood and the stones and the dust, and the water that was in the trench it licked up. 39 When all the people saw it, they immediately fell upon their faces and said: “Jehovah is the [true] God! Jehovah is the [true] God!” 40 Then E·li´jah said to them: “Seize the prophets of Ba´al! Do not let a single one of them escape!” At once they seized them, and E·li´jah then brought them down to the torrent valley of Ki´shon and slaughtered them there.Does anyone know where it says in the bible that these false worshipers cut themselves?
The Word mentions cutting oneself a number of times. You are talking about the story of Elijah which is in the Books of The Kings I think. The first chapter in Kings has a funny spelling in the King James Version. It is BAAL-ze-bub.


I've been told that means nothing. But I think it does. It shows Baal worship was not vain idol worship, but Devil worship!
Ruth was pretty close at answering you - but; missed a couple points - one is a verse prior to where she started:





I Kings 18:24, ';And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of Yahweh: and my Heavenly Father that answereth by fire, let him be Yahweh Almighty. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.';





Now what is interesting in this particular verse - check out where it says both ';gods'; and ';God'; ... look up the word in a Strongs ... you will find it is the same dude ... satan the devil - because in Jeremiah 23:26-27 it says the Name of Yahweh has been forgotten for BAAL ...





anyway - where the logs, water and everything was licked up is in I Kings 18:30 - 39 ... keep in mind though - the mighty one that the prophet called on was Yahweh - not god ... that way this scripture might make more sense to you.





Otherwise it is like two children trying to see who their dad likes more ... crazy - it was nothing like that - the false prophets were calling on El, Elohim, Adonai, Baal and/or etc. - the righteous prophet here was calling on the righteous name of Yahweh (YHWH) and not the gods of the false prophets.





I Kings 18:38 is what you wanted to see as well: ';Then the fire of Yahweh fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that [was] in the trench.';





Hope this answered you well.





anyway - if you want - look at www.yahweh.com and it would be a great reward for any whom are seeking the truth.





peace;

your full of bull sh.it.
Oh the battle of the magicians story.





I don't remember any ppl cutting themselves, but then again I do try to forget those barbaric bible stories I heard as a kid.
Now I remember why I haven't read the bible in so long. It's filled with this kind of incredible nonsense.
the prophets of baal when opposed by Elijah....cool story..good teaching...kings
srtart at Kings 18:25 [Be Blessed] Peace %26amp; love!!! Mr. Hiero baal ze bab is [interpeted lord of the flies]
It was Elijah the prophet and he was proving who was the true God. They were both supose to put out a sacrifice and no fire. Let the true God come up with the fire and consume the food on the alter.





1Kings:18:25 E·li´jah now said to the prophets of Ba´al: “Choose for yourselves one young bull and dress it first, because YOU are the majority; and call upon the name of YOUR god, but YOU must not put fire to it.” 26 Accordingly they took the young bull that he gave them. Then they dressed it, and they kept calling upon the name of Ba´al from morning till noon, saying: “O Ba´al, answer us!” But there was no voice, and there was no one answering. And they kept limping around the altar that they had made. 27 And it came about at noon that E·li´jah began to mock them and say: “Call at the top of YOUR voice, for he is a god; for he must be concerned with a matter, and he has excrement and has to go to the privy. Or maybe he is asleep and ought to wake up!” 28 And they began calling at the top of their voice and cutting themselves according to their custom with daggers and with lances, until they caused blood to flow out upon them. 29 And it came about that, as soon as noon was past and they continued behaving as prophets until the going up of the grain offering, there was
Yes. Emo 3:2--6:66
This fire that came down out of heaven even ate up the rocks.


The wood and everything but the best part was when It scared to death everybody. We need to do that again and see what happens?


these preachers today would probably be the ones sucked up.
Now that is a fairy tale.
