In Isaiah 53 it says "all we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned everyone to his own way and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all". Have you read that? In the Old Testament it talk a lot about the sacrifices that are made to atone for sins. Have you ever read the book of Hebrews?
And this is what I meant earlier... You are going to sit here and tell me that your interpretation is correct.
Isaiah 6:6-7 King James Version (KJV)
6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
Hey, that seems like a lot less of a pagan practice than human sacrifice does. Remember them damn heathens that sent their children through the fire for attonement of their sins? The more innocent, the better the attonement. Sacrifice is evil and especially human/deity sacrifice.
Isaiah 5:20
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
