Judges 3:1-6 “Uneven Yokes”
Samaria: 722 the northern kingdom is taken by Assyria; the
leading people are taken to what is now Iraq. Then Assyria brings non-Jews in
to settle in the northern kingdom called Samaria. Jew intermarried became known
as Samaritans. John 4:20-24
Israel comes into the Promise Land but fail to drive out the
people living there. Soon after the start to intermarry and then start adding
worship of Baal and Asheroth to their own. The next step is that they quit
serving Yahweh at all, and God brings judgement on them.
Today people are not much different from Israel back then.
In order to not offend people or to blend in with the group people want to
bring into their Christian faith parts of other religions and blend them. The
other effort is to validate Muslims, Hindus and Jews as all valid ways to God.
