WAS PRAYING TO BAAL WORSHIP? by steve finnell

When the prophets of Baal prayed to him were they worshiping him? Of course they were worshiping Baal. Praying to anyone or anything is worship.

1 Kings 18:24-40 .....25 Now Elijah said to the prophets of Ball, "Choose one bull for yourselves and prepare it first, for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it." 26 So they took the bull which was given them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even till noon, saying "O Baal hear us!".....(NKJV)

Were the prophets of Baal worshiping Baal by praying to him? Yes they were.

When men today pray to the Virgin Mary and other saints, who are dead or alive, is that worship. Yes, praying to anyone or anything is worship.

Luke 4:8 And Jesus answered and said to him, "Get behind Me  Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve." (NKJV)
