The two had been blended together to make one religion, so that a refusal to see the necessity for uncompromising religion marked Israel. Israel rarely denied the Lord or professed open apostasy. Rather, it pursued a course of religious syncretism, using the name of the Lord but absorbing with their religion whatever faith was expedient for them. Thus, they were not open pagans, but pagans who practiced their unbelief under cover of the Lord’s name. Syncretism is again our problem.
