The following is the opinion of [[User:Victor Porton|Victor Porton's]] from his book [http://endofgospel.org End of Gospel]:
Much of Hebew Hebrew Bible is dedicated to consideration of people choosing to worship either to Yahweh (that is God) or to Baal. These who serve Yahweh are blessed, these who serve Baal are cursed.
Yahweh is the creator of the Universe. But who is Baal? "Baal" literally translated is just "owner".
After the fall it became useless to attempt to serve Baal because the robots were broken. Yahweh in turn requires us to serve Him in order for us to be repaired (“saved” in evangelical terminology). Moreover Yahweh changed our purpose to serve Him becoming His children, not to Baal anymore.
Now to the New Testament. (1Cor. 6:19-20) "19 Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s." In New Testament we are slaves of Christ. He has bought us from the former Baal, to make children of God from us.
How to deal away with serving Baal not ceasing to serve Yahweh (Christ)?
The answer is: "Serving Baal" means slavery. If we serve Christ as slaves, we serve Baal. If we serve Christ as His friends not slaves, we serve Yahweh. The word "Baal" should be understood as "slavery". Every time the word "Baal" is used in Hebew Hebrew Bible, it signifies a mention of slavery (not freedom).
The correct answer is that we should cease to be slaves of Christ and become His friends.
