Holy 'Calf' (Sacrosanct in Sanatan Hinduism) became 'symbol of Contention'
WHAT Coincidence ! Holy 'Calf' (Sacrosanct in Sanatan Hinduism) became 'symbol of Contention' against Idol worshipping in Abrahamic religious worldwide.
1. When Aaron gave in. He ordered the people to collect all the gold in their possession, and used it to create a golden calf for worship. He then ordered a great feast, and all the Israelites “rose up to play” (Exodus 32:6). The choice of this idol was no accident.
2. Mentioned in Exodus 32 and I Kings 12 in the Old Testament, worship of the golden calf is seen as a supreme act of apostasy, the rejection of a faith once confessed. The figure is probably a representation of the Egyptian bull god Apis in the earlier period and of the Canaanite fertility god Baal in the latter.
3. The Lord told Moses that those who didn't repent would be destroyed. Moses descended the mountain and destroyed the stone tablets he had received from the Lord as well as the golden calf. Three thousand rebellious Israelites were also killed.
4. The most important lesson from the story of the golden calf is that God hates idols. He wants to be our only God, and it makes Him very angry when we choose to have other gods. Idols can also not benefit us because they have no power; they are nothing.
5. In pre-Islamic era too, a single animal species, the cow, was overwhelmingly depicted and worshipped. Ox figures dominated Arabian rock art right from the Neolithic to the Chalcolithic sites. There is evidence of cow worship in ancient Arabia like in Pharaonic Egypt, Sumer and modern India. Evidence of cow worship in Arabia is much older than in India where the cow is worshipped as a goddess. Gao Mata’a or mother cow is the most important religious icon of Hinduism, worshipped by all sects of the Hindu religion; A unique composition of religious belief and human belief in metaphysical cosmology or visible icons of deities. Located on a large rock lying on the flank of a valley in the Tabuk area.
6. The Talmud is the central text of Rabbinic Judaism and the primary source of Jewish religious law and Jewish theology. However, the written Torah strongly implies that Aaron, at the very least, facilitated the creation of the idol despite his warnings against making it.
