4Him:

It is becoming clear that you are not taking out time to cross-check your facts before concluding: did Leviticus 27:29 actually advocate human sacrifice?

Lev 27: 29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.

In what context is this verse speaking and "what" is to be surely put to death? Verse 28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD.

the inclusion of "man" as part of the devoted things unto the Lord that cannot be sold or redeemed is what is causing confusion (i believe it is a deliberate misrepresentation on the part of those deliberately out to find any fault with the bible). \

I ask a simple question . . . if truly God meant that men devoted unto God shld be put to death why then do we NEVER come across any instance of these "devoted" human sacrifices? there are tons of reports of burnt offerings (animal sacrifices), food offerings e.t.c. but NOT ONE MENTION of a human sacrifice unto the Lord . . . it could mean these things:

1. God did not indicate human sacrifice, the jews understood what was meant there
2. God did mean them to sacrifice humans but the Jews deliberately disobeyed
3. There was not a single man devoted unto God in the entire bible.

Where there men devoted unto God? Yes - Samuel was an example of one dedicated into the temple . . . rather than being sacrificed he took over from Eli as priest in Isreal (read I Samuel).

The Levites were also dedicated to God - not a single one of them had to be sacrificed but their lineage produced all the priests of the jewish temple.

Did God frown at human sacrifice? Yes - Lev 18: 21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.

Dear, take your time to read the bible yourself . . . by merely buying into the false propaganda of those determined to desecrate the bible, you make a fool of your own intelligence.

My version of the bible (New Century Version) KJV has the following for Lev 27: 29

If anyone is given for the purpose of being destroyed, he cannot be brought back; he must be put to death.


Need I say more.

A case were this is put into practice is narrated in Judges 11 where Jephthah sacrifices his own daughter to god.

Why don't you read it. I am sure you would enjoy the Judges 11 and a paragon of human virtue. Could you do something like that?

And I have not even mentioned God getting people to cannibalise their children (or other people). Yummmmy, Yummmmy, Yummmmy, human flesh.
