Child Sacrifice in the Old Testament

[Mudhammam]

It's new because you do not know what's written within the pages of the Bible. Yes, they sacrificed to a false god an idol of wood and stone, not to the God of creation, go study the Bible before you spit out nonsense. Yes it was a real crime to God, if you had known what was in the book of Jeremiah you would have understood this. They are severely punished because of this act, go read the rest of the OT and you might find out, that is if you can be honest with yourself.
Christ is part of the Godhead and chose to give Himself up in this way for mankind, yes He was God's son, not your's, mine or anyone else, God only asked this of Himself. So what's your point? Now go and find out why blood is the requirement, hint it starts in the OT. You're wanting to prove me wrong do your own work, please.

I like how you dodged the question by responding with ad hominem attacks, assuming I lack an understanding of the Bible, despite the fact that you have no rebuttal of the actual texts. Even Jewish scholars who have studied ancient Israel and the Hebrew texts have admitted that child sacrifice to Yahweh was a common practice, evidenced even by the great prophet Micah pondering if he should sacrifice his son (ultimately, he decided against it but he seems unaware if it was forbidden). So I ask you again, where's your evidence that only the firstborn Hebrew children were circumcised? Is this the case in any passage of the Old or New Testaments? Don't be a coward and attempt to evade the facts.
