A Short list of International
Fertility goddesses:

Below is chance to look at many of the competing pagan religions with the One Creator God and Judge of ALL.

The Word of God does not ignore the presence of many pagan gods, it actually exposes them. It reveals who they are and where they come from, and what they do. They tempt God’s Children to sin, and enter into Judgment with God, and cause valley of separation between Him and them.

Every so often an Israelite leader would tempt the people to go and worship other gods. In order to serve their lustful and sinful desires. Typically involving sexual immorality. Orgies. Child sacrifices. Drugs. Booze. Witchcraft, and a Party Spirit. Hmmm. That sounds a lot like my modern day college life!

• The problem with perversions: is that they may feel good at the beginning, but they never finish well at the end of the line. Especially, on the day of Judgment.
• The problem with addictions: is that they can never be righteously satisfied. The more sin you need to get the same high, the greater the sin will need to become to satisfy the next high, and the next, and the next.
• That’s the problem with sinful idolatry: It leads you down a path of no return. 

What many people don’t realize is that behind every sinful temptation, there is an idol, and a demon, pulling the strings of temptation. When a man or woman gives into the string pulling temptation, it’s like they have been hooked by a master fisherman, who will never let them off the hook.

• An idol can be anything that distracts us, and redirects us away from God’s Will for us individually, therefore it can be almost anything: a fast sleek car, a short skirt, sexualized makeup, a night out with the boys, a party or bar to hook up with someone, a PHD, and a Ouija board, a hit, a fix, a blunt, a beer, boat ride, anything that pulls you away from God’s Best for your life. In essence, the devil, put out the bait, and waits for you to chomp on his hook, and he keeps enticing you until he gets you hooked.

In the spirit realm, the only way to get that hook out of your mouth, and the taste for the evil bait our of your spirit is to come to the Cross of Christ, which has the power and authority to break every addiction, and restore every soul to his or her proper place in God’s Heavenly kingdom. But with out Christ’s help, no man is a match for the demonic world under that guidance of the Ruler of this evil rebellious age:

Ephesians 2:1-13 (KJV) 1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, [quickened us’ means “made us ALIVE”](by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them…

 12 At that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the [Blood] covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood [covenant] of Christ.

If you are “IN CHRIST” be thankful for the Blood Covenant of God!

If you are like me, you have tasted the sinfulness and power of evil, and have at one time given yourself over to do that which you knew was evil in your sight, and also in God’s Sight. The truth be told I deserve to die a 1,000 deaths in the LAKE OF FIRE, but God has had mercy on me. He has watched over me, and delivered me from my many addictions, and is setting my feet on solid ground. 

• I’m not going to lie. I still get tempted. But God is faithful, and he won’t allow me to be tempted above what I can handle. 

1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) 13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Personal Note: I just added the above section, because this whole page crashed on me, and I had to start over. It was then, I realized I had presented much information about demonic fertility gods and goddesses, but hadn’t said a word about Christ to honor him. So if, everything is now right before God and before man, I will expect this webpage to be saved, otherwise I am not writing this all over again. 

Side Note: Sensitivity Warning: Fertility Cults that worshipped these fertility goddesses, and gods, often had sex trafficking children for a steady supply of fresh meat for the idolators who would come to worship at their pagan temples, and at their high places, and tree groves.

Money was paid to the temple, but nothing but food and drugs were given to the unfortunate, abused and sexually trafficked children, both boys and girls. So what happened to all the unwanted babies that would be produced. If you guessed child sacrifice and raising up future sex slaves you might not be too far off the mark. This is just a little slice of the dirty little picture going on behind these big commercial idol worshipping industries. Many of them were run like mega big businesses. Run by mafia like priests. All of this God Hates!

Contrary to popular opinion: God is Angry with the Wicked Every Day.

11 God judgeth the righteous,
and God is angry with the wicked every day.
12 If he turn not, he will whet [sharpen] his sword;
he hath bent his bow [strung the bow], and made it ready.
13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death;
he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. 
[those who kidnap and abuse the innocent and vulnerable.]

Psalms 7:11-13 (KJV)

What is the name for the goddess called “the Queen of Heaven” in the Bible?

The goddess referred to as the “Queen of Heaven” in the Bible is often associated with several ancient goddesses, including:

1. Ishtar (Babylonian): Goddess of love, fertility, war, and the planet Venus.
2. Astarte (Canaanite): Goddess of fertility, love, and war.
3. Ashtoreth (Canaanite): Goddess of fertility, love, and war.
4. Asherah (Canaanite): Goddess of fertility, motherhood, and sex.

However, the most likely candidate for the “Queen of Heaven” mentioned in the Bible (Jeremiah 7:18, 44:17-19, 25) is Ishtar, due to the cultural and historical context of the Babylonian exile.

In Jeremiah’s time, the Israelites were influenced by Babylonian culture, and Ishtar was a prominent goddess in Babylon, often referred to as the “Queen of Heaven”. The biblical authors likely used this title to criticize the Israelites for adopting pagan practices and worshiping foreign deities.

Please note that the biblical text doesn’t explicitly mention the name of the goddess, but based on historical context and archaeological evidence, Ishtar is the most commonly accepted identification.

Who is TAMMUZ in the Bible and what is his relationship to the other gods and goddesses?

Tammuz is a Mesopotamian god mentioned in the Bible (Ezekiel 8:14) as a deity worshipped by the Israelites during the Babylonian exile. He was a god of:

1. Fertility: Associated with agriculture, sheep herding, and the cycles of nature.
2. Agriculture: Linked to the growth and harvest of crops.
3. Sheep herding: Considered the patron god of shepherds and sheep.

In Mesopotamian mythology, Tammuz was:

1. Ishtar’s lover: He was the consort of the goddess Ishtar, who was said to have descended into the underworld to rescue him.
2. Dumuzi’s equivalent: Tammuz was the Akkadian equivalent of the Sumerian god Dumuzi, who was also a god of fertility and agriculture.

Tammuz’s relationship to other gods and goddesses:

1. Ishtar: As mentioned, he was Ishtar’s lover and consort.
2. Baal: Tammuz was sometimes associated with Baal, a god of storms and fertility.
3. Marduk: As a god of Babylon, Tammuz was under the patronage of Marduk, the chief god of Babylon.
4. Osiris: Tammuz’s mythology shares similarities with the Egyptian god Osiris, who was also a god of fertility and resurrection.

In the Bible, Tammuz is mentioned as a god worshipped by the Israelites, which was considered idolatrous and a departure from the worship of the one true God, Yahweh.

Why did people weep for Tammuz in the bible?

In the Bible, Ezekiel 8:14 describes a scene where women are weeping for Tammuz:

“He brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the Lord, and I saw women sitting there, weeping for Tammuz.”

The weeping for Tammuz was a ritualistic practice in ancient Mesopotamia, associated with the mythological story of Tammuz’s death and resurrection. Here’s why:

1. Tammuz’s death: According to myth, Tammuz was killed by a wild boar or died in the underworld, symbolizing the death of vegetation and fertility during the summer months.
2. Ishtar’s lament: His lover, Ishtar, was said to have descended into the underworld to rescue him, but failed. She wept and mourned his death, and her grief was so great that it caused the earth to become barren and sterile.
3. Ritualistic mourning: The women’s weeping for Tammuz was a ritualistic reenactment of Ishtar’s lament, symbolizing the mourning of the loss of fertility and vegetation during the summer.
4. Hope for resurrection: The weeping also signified hope for Tammuz’s resurrection, which was believed to occur with the coming of the spring rains, restoring fertility to the land.

By weeping for Tammuz, the women were participating in a pagan ritual that:

• Mourned the death of fertility and vegetation
• Hoped for the resurrection of Tammuz and the return of fertility
• Honored the mythological story of Ishtar and Tammuz

The Bible condemns this practice as idolatrous, as it diverted the Israelites’ attention away from the worship of the one true God, Yahweh.

How did the people of Israel and Canaan worship “the starry host” against the will of God?

The people of Israel and Canaan worshipped the starry host, or celestial bodies, against God’s will in the following ways:

Israelites:

1. Astrological divination: They sought guidance from the stars and planets, rather than trusting in God’s sovereignty (Isaiah 47:13-14, Jeremiah 10:2).
2. Worship on high places: They built altars on high places, hills, and mountains to worship the celestial bodies (2 Kings 23:5, Ezekiel 6:13).
3. Sacrifices to celestial gods: They offered sacrifices to the sun, moon, stars, and planets, considering them gods (2 Kings 23:11, Ezekiel 8:16).
4. Idolatrous festivals: They celebrated festivals honoring the celestial bodies, such as the festival of the queen of heaven (Jeremiah 7:18, 44:17-19).

Canaanites:

1. Baal and Astarte worship: They worshipped Baal and Astarte, associating them with the planet Jupiter and Venus, respectively (Numbers 25:3, Judges 2:10-13, 1 Kings 11:5).
2. Moon god worship: They worshipped the moon god, associating him with the lunar cycles (Deuteronomy 4:19, Jeremiah 8:2).
3. Star and constellation worship: They worshipped the stars and constellations, associating them with various gods and goddesses (2 Kings 23:5, Amos 5:26).
4. Cosmic mythology: They developed mythologies surrounding the celestial bodies, attributing divine powers to them (Isaiah 40:26, Psalm 136:7-9).

God’s disapproval:

God condemned these practices, considering them idolatrous and a violation of His covenant with Israel (Exodus 20:3-5, Deuteronomy 4:19, 2 Kings 23:4-7). He saw these practices as a rejection of His sovereignty and a turning to false gods.

What can you tell me about the worship and practice of worshiping Chemosh: God of the Moabites; Milcom: God of the Ammonites; and Molech: God of fire?

Chemosh: God of the Moabites

• Worship: Chemosh was worshipped through:
  • Human sacrifice (2 Kings 3:27)
  • Temple prostitution (Numbers 25:1-3)
  • Idolatrous rituals (Jeremiah 48:7, 13)
• Practice: Moabites believed Chemosh required human sacrifice to ensure fertility and prosperity.
• Biblical condemnation: God condemned Chemosh worship, calling it detestable (2 Kings 23:13, Jeremiah 48:7).

Milcom: God of the Ammonites

• Worship: Milcom was worshipped through:
  • Child sacrifice (1 Kings 11:5, 7, 33)
  • Idolatrous rituals (1 Kings 11:5, 7)
• Practice: Ammonites believed Milcom required child sacrifice to ensure divine favor.
• Biblical condemnation: God condemned Milcom worship, calling it an abomination (1 Kings 11:5, 7).

Molech: God of Fire

• Worship: Molech was worshipped through:
  • Child sacrifice by fire (Leviticus 18:21, 2 Kings 23:10)
  • Idolatrous rituals (Leviticus 20:2-5, Acts 7:43)
• Practice: Worshippers believed Molech required child sacrifice to ensure divine favor and prosperity.
• Biblical condemnation: God condemned Molech worship, calling it an abomination and detestable (Leviticus 18:21, 20:2-5).

These gods were worshipped through cruel and idolatrous practices, which God strongly condemned. The Bible warns against adopting such practices, emphasizing the importance of worshipping the one true God, Yahweh.

What important details can you tell me about Dagon the god of the Philistines?

Dagon: God of the Philistines

• Origin: Dagon was a Mesopotamian deity, worshipped by the Philistines, who migrated from Crete to Canaan.
• Characteristics:
  • God of agriculture, fertility, and grain
  • Associated with the fish god, Ichthys (some sources suggest Dagon was depicted as a fish-tailed god)
  • Considered a god of good fortune and prosperity
• Worship:
  • Temples built in his honor (1 Samuel 5:2-7, 2 Chronicles 32:19)
  • Idolatrous rituals and sacrifices performed (Judges 16:23-24)
  • Possibly worshipped through prostitution and fertility rites
• Biblical significance:
  • Defeated by God, who struck down Dagon’s temple and idol (1 Samuel 5:2-7)
  • Associated with the Philistines’ defeat by the Israelites (1 Samuel 7:3-14)
  • Mentioned as a god of the Philistines in various biblical accounts (Judges 16:23-24, 1 Chronicles 10:10)
• Symbolism:
  • Dagon’s fall symbolizes the defeat of pagan idolatry and the triumph of God’s power
  • May represent the struggle between God’s people and the surrounding pagan cultures

Dagon’s worship and significance provide insight into the cultural and religious practices of the Philistines and the ancient Near East, as well as the biblical narrative’s emphasis on God’s supremacy over pagan deities.

FINAL REMARKS:

Please note: that the perversion of sexual immorality doesn’t stop at the gate of fornication, nor at the gate adultery, nor homosexuality, nor bisexuality, nor orgies, nor satanic ritual sexual intercourse, nor ritualistic abuse and idolatry in temple worship, nor in pedophilia, nor in prostitution, nor in beastality, nor being LGBTQ+: the depths and the wickedness of man’s sinfulness truly knows no real boundaries. Even having sex with dead bodies is not off-limits to the sexually perverted mind.

  There’s an old saying, that says, if you give the devil an inch, he will take a mile. This is never more true than in the area of sexual perversion. The gospel says that every sin, a man commits is typically outside his body, except for when he commits sexual sin. Because he is involving his whole body, mind, soul and spirit in the act of wickedness. This is a key place where many people become demonically possessed by devils. By having sex with another person who has devils: You can open yourself up to being polluted by those same demons. So much more can be said about this subject, but suffice it to say, God wants his children clean. Pure. Free. Unpolluted by the world. The only way out of this world of demonic strongholds is: 1) to die in your sins. Or 2) to give your whole body, mind, soul/spirit, and whole being, to follow the living God, and he will provide you the way of escape into his kingdom, both now, and into eternity forever.

Why is sexual sin so dangerous?

What makes sexual immorality so dangerous? So deceptive? So seductive? And so manipulative? 

What people often fail to grasp is that they are being tempted by ancient, demonic, wicked, spiritual beings in the midst of every sin related sexual temptation. For every other sin a man commits, or a man is being tempted to commit, the Bible command him to stand strong. Stand up against temptation. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. But this is not the command for a man being tempted with sexual perversion, sexual sin.

The word of God explicitly tells the man being tempted with sexual sin to flee: to run away as fast as you can. Get out of the house. Get out of the room. Get out of the car. Get away from the situation of temptation. Remove yourself from the presence of temptation. That is exactly what Joseph the son of Jacob did. When he was tempted by Potiphar’s wife, he fled the temptation. She held onto his robe so tightly, that he had to leave the house without his robe. Joseph lost his robe but he saved himself from falling into temptation. And God honored him. Yes, he was convicted falsely. But that was part of God’s plan. It was the next stepping stone for him to become the ruler of all Egypt. Joseph passed his test of temptation. And he overcame the ancient demonic spiritual beings of sexual immorality, not by standing firm, but by fleeing.

Below we read the Commandment of God to Flee Fornication.

Please note: Often times the Bible will use one word, like fornication, or adultery to refer to the entire catalog of sexual sins, with having to list them individually: As in the case below.

1 Corinthians 6:18 (KJV) 18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

Next, we can see why Sexual Sin is the most defiling Sin in the Bible:

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (KJV) 9 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Next, we see from God’s perspective, what happens when a believer commits sexual sin:

1 Corinthians 6:15-17 (KJV) 15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

In other words, is it right for a man (or woman) who is a believer, to join the Body of Christ to a Prostitute? Or any spiritually demonically inspired evil being?
