- B) Baal controls nature
- C) Yahweh was supreme to other gods
- D) Israel had declared for Yahweh
Correct Answer: C) Yahweh was supreme to other gods
Explanation
The question is asking about the purpose of the contest on Mount Camel. The options are A) Baal was the God of Israel, B) Baal controls nature, C) Yahweh was supreme to other gods (which is the correct answer), and D) Israel had declared for Yahweh. The contest on Mount Camel was held to prove which God, either Baal or Yahweh, was real and had the power to answer prayers. The prophets of Baal called on their God to light a fire, and when he did not respond, Elijah called on Yahweh to light a fire, which he did. This demonstrated that Yahweh was the one true God and was supreme to other gods. Therefore, Option C is the correct answer. It is important for Christians to understand that there were many gods worshipped during biblical times, but the Bible teaches that there is only one true God, Yahweh.
