1 | Burnt human offering from 'godly' man? | Judg 11:31 | Joanne G | 165169 | ||
This verse is an example of some of the disturbing verses/stories particularly from the Old Testament. This 'godly' man offered up his daughter as the burnt offering (and it is highly suggestive that he knew it would be a *person* coming out from his house, not an animal). I know we can talk about the times he lived in, but yet we often use such types of things to describe why the pagan nations were so evil and had to be wiped out - they had other gods and they sacrificed people. It's like our argument saying the Koran talks about killing - well, so does the bible. Does anyone else grapple with these things? |

2 | Burnt human offering from 'godly' man? | Judg 11:31 | lionheart | 165180 | ||
Joanne G, Greetings and welcome to the forum,Read the Genesis Chapter 22 Account of Abraham and Isaac. This may offer some clarity to the account of Judges 11. Also look at Leviticus 18:21. It is unlikely although we dont know for sure that Jepthah offered his daughter as a human sacrifice. When we get into any kind of involved bible study we will eventually come across something that may not be clear or may present some problems in our understanding. When we do it becomes important for us to view these passages of scripture in light of the clear ones regarding that instance or subject. When we do this then we are able to see things much easier. I hope this helps. In Christ, lionheart |
