Child Sacrifice in the Old Testament

David's Child is not an example of a sacrifice, why? Because OT sacrifices had to follow certain rules and cermonies. David's son got sick and died.
All the while while the boy was sick David prayed and fasted for a recovery. The primary reason this was not a sacrifice was because David did not freely give his son.
and it is not like God cursed the marriage between David and bathsheba either, they had another son who became king.
(Solomon) the Lord loved solomon and blessed him greatly.

Quote:and Jesus are uncontested examples.
Jesus was God's sacrifice for Humanity. The death of Christ did not cost Humanity anything. Bottom line God has not ask for one Human soul to be sacrificed to Him.
The only thing resembling Human sacrifice was in His own Son, but as so many of you point out "if Jesus was resurected from the Dead then what was sacrificed?"
Can't have it both ways old sport.

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's willingness and obediance/Faith was what made him a great man, not killing his son.. Because infact he did not.

Jeph, did what He pledged to do, God did not ask this of him.

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.
what are you talking about?
