Child Sacrifice in the Old Testament

[Drich]

Then why is the title of the thread "child sacrifice in the OT?" To me it would seem child sacrifice was used for shock value/paint a deeper contrast between your self righteousness and what You thought via all the smart/ignorant people that said child sacrifice was commanded by God. Then when you saw the bible does not support such a thing now your back peddling but forgot the name of your title.

Perhaps in the cosmic soap opera when the Creator of the universe looked down on you, Drich, and realized how vitally important and special you are, he decided he would impart to you the principle distinction between the morality expressed in child sacrifice and that expressed in the sentiment that "sins" are "cleansed" by "innocent blood." Unfortunately, some of us more "ignorant" folk don't see it.

It's not a hard distinction to make. In that the only innocent blood that was needed was from his only Son. God made the standard then He provided us with the elements needed to find forgiveness.
