Child Sacrifice in the Old Testament

[Mudhammam]

My argument is in direct contrast to the OP. In that God does not require child sacrifice. I have yet to begin to refute this new second arguement.

If you believe God required human sacrifice then please show book chapter and verse where a human was sacrificed. (You haven't yet)

Again, David's child (i.e. the "four-fold payment") and Jesus are uncontested examples.

Abraham's son and Jephthah's daughter are more disputable, though their sacrificial offerings of their children would later earn them praise as heroes of faith.

And of course, the explicit command and later remorse in Exodus and Ezekiel, respectively, that you interpret more vaguely on the account of other, later evolved traditions.
