What I stated deals expressly with those verses, the mess I mentioned above, well that would be the child sacrifices they made and their knowledge that God did not give them that command, they would remember God and be horrified at what they had done.
That makes no sense. They would remember the god they're sacrificing to. They would be horrified by that god.
It says nothing about sacrificing to other gods anyway.
And what of the fact that it says that God "gave statutes that were not good" and then immediately following it says that Israelites sacrificed children? What statutes were they? I would think child sacrifice would be a good example of a statute that wasn't good.
The scriptures that the Christians here have put forward shows the link between those verses, you know it, you just choose to ignore it, you do not have the guts to admit you're wrong, now that's what Min would call blasphemy, a fellow atheist admitting he was bested by Christians.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
