David's son was not sacrificed let me try once more to get this through your dense head, David's sin was forgiven by God before He made the child ill, so there was no need for a sacrifice for David's sin. Another reason it was not a sacrifice is because man didn't offer the child up to God. Think this will sink in this time, you and other atheist here are so ignorant of what the scriptures say I really do not know why you try, your just making yourself look ridiculous.

Quote: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.

Abraham did not sacrifice his son, now you are deliberately lying, and Abraham became the father of the Israelite nation not a hero.
Jephthah made a stupid mistake thinking something other than his daughter would be coming out the door first, God did not tell him to take the life of his daughter, but out of Jephthah's need to keep a vow he killed her. God used this terrible and unfortunate act as a teaching through a reminder of the virgins ceremony of remorse.

Quote: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.

I have asked you several times to show where God said to sacrifice children and Drich is now asking the same thing, if you do not have it then you need to quit showing off your ignorance and just stop, you are becoming a pitiful example for atheism.

1. So God just struck David's child with a deadly illness for no reason? Because Yahweh is a cold-blooded murderer? And that's your moral standard by which you condemn child sacrifice?
2. Your heroes of faith include David, Abraham, and Jephthah, the latter two who attempted to kill their child as sacrifices to Yahweh, only one of which was prevented.

And you think there's something wrong with me and my views?
