I think you mean Jewish. The Christians don't believe in sacrificing anymore because Jesus was the final sacrifice. The old testiment doesn't talk about sacrificing children. What you are referring to is God testing Abraham. He was trying to remind him to love God before all others, including his son. Abraham was putting his son before God. Slavery is not what God approves of either, I don't know where you got that. "He who kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death." (Exodus 21:16). However, I respect your opinion.CommandoBeta said:If you ever read the bible, you will be shocked at the things people apparently have to do to please their God. Things like sacrificing children and keeping slaves are actively propagated in the Old Testament.
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ.
The servant will be severely punished, for though he knew his duty, he refused to do it. "But people who are not aware that they are doing wrong will be punished only lightly. Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given." (Luke 12:47-48)
Also, God doesn't say "Pray, don't do anything, just pray". When he met a homeless person who couldn't walk, he did not tell him "I will pray for you". He told him "get up and walk". The parents of those poor children should have taken them to a hospital, and pray with them while they are treated.Kannon said:Please just take a look at my other posts before pictorally flipping me off. I think people who pray to God to save their kid instead of going five miles and getting them treated should be convicted of murder. In some cases they should be sentenced to death. (we had an interesting discussion about that topic as well). Anyway, there is really only one thing that I believe science has too flimsy an answer to: the origin of life in the universe. I forget what the best explanation we have come up with, something like organic material being carried by a meteor.
