hi, i've decided to post a site going in detail about how this site is not credible for biblical knowledge since it's used as references on this forum to degrade morality of christianity. i'm going to just talk about the "Ritual Human Sacrifice in the Bible" topic since it would take too much space to talk about all of them. lets look at the evidence they post.

Genesis 22:1-18, story of abraham and isaac. this site actually claims that Abraham did not sacrifice his son but says it's still a cruel thing to do. does this prove God condones human sacrifice? no. God had no intention of Abraham sacrificing his son even though he commanded him to. if he did, he would not have sent an angel to stop him. this clearly is not condoning human sacrifice.

a lot of these passages are talking about execution and not sacrifice and some are in the apocrypha which i don't care about because i'm not catholic and both protestants and jews agree that those books don't belong in the bible. lets look at another.

Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT, this one sort of caught my eye cuz it directly said "Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God." i tried to look for it in my new king james bible and sure enough, it's worded completely different. it said "for the lord your God" not as a sacrifice. what does this mean? well to avoid further confusion lets look at the hebrew.
where the NLT version says as a burnt offering to the lord your God, it says
וְשָׂרַפְתָּ֨- and burn
בָאֵ֜שׁ- fire
הָעִ֤יר- the city
כָּל־- and all
שְׁלָלָהּ֙- booty
כָּלִ֔יל- a whole
לַיהוָ֖ה- to the lord (yahweh)
אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ- your god
gathered from http://biblos.com/deuteronomy/13-16.htm

this clearly does not say sacrifice and that word should not be there. what's the true meaning? it was a passage saying to punish Idolatry in the cities of Israel. not talking about sacrificing them to God for reward of any sort. execution is different from sacrifice.

in conclusion, this site clearly does not state truth about the bible, it simply takes things in the bible out of context so they can say the bible contradicts itself when it comes to morality. whoever wrote this site does not care about the truth and this site should not be used to prove anything. i expect that this site will not be referenced again and if it is i will refer them to this post to discredit their source.

Did you seriously quote Thomas Paine in your signature? and you're Christian?

Lets look at some other Thomas Paine quotes that show why we actually have separation between church and state here in America.

"The Bible is such a book of lies and contradictions there is no knowing which part to believe or whether any"

"I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my church"

did you really just quote my whole post to talk about my signature? you didn't even quote my signature. i'm sick of these side comments not talking about the main topic.

i think everyone here does not understand the structure of how debate works. this is how it works. someone brings a claim and that person is responsible for backing up the claim with evidence. anyone who disagrees with the claim and wish to refute the claim must provide counter evidence to debunk the claims already made. this is how it's supposed to be. no one has brought a single bit of evidence to say my claims about "evilbible" being biased and not reliable are false. i had plenty of evidence to back up my original claims therefore i expect anyone who disagrees should show the respect of bringing evidence to prove me wrong rather than unbacked stories and hypotheticals. please and thank you.
