Human sacrifice is an abomination! We know this from Abraham who heard voices in his Head (it was the Voice of God... he wasn't mad) telling him to sacrifice his son, We know this from Jephthah J'g:11:30: who sacrificed his daughter to God (I'm not too sure this is significant, as it was a daughter, not a son) and we know it from
2Ki:3:26: And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through even unto the king of Edom: but they could not.
2Ki:3:27: Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
This is when God's Army retreated (strategically) in the face of a human sacrifice to the false god, Chemosh.
Human sacrifice is itself an abomination. It is abhorrent to the Sight of God! Human Sacrifice is the province of the primitive and superstitious pagan.
"Who," I ask you "could contemplate Human Sacrifice?"
It shows no love, merely savagery.
We need to show the Love of our Lord, The Almighty, The Merciful, Who sacrificed His Own Son that we might have eternal life.
Amen.
