1 Kings 18:25-29
Elijah let the prophets of Baal do first for they are many.
Elijah encouraged them "Shout louder!" he said, "Surely he is a god Perhaps he is deep in thought, or busy, or traveling. Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened."
So they shouted louder ad slashed themselves with swords and spears, as was their custom, until their blood flowed.
But there was not response, no one answered, no one paid attention, till time for the evening sacrifice.
Baal is important - no more able to produce fire than to sen the needed rain.
Why?
There was their custom to slashed themselves with swords and spears, means their earnest heart.
Those behavior like many cultures in my country, they are doing the same thing as to Baal. People thought their god as man, using man's way to assimilate their gods.
Those gods can not listen, can not see, can not speak!
How?
All of these are the false gods, only the Lord is the true God!
