Human sacrifice

While looking at the origins of the Trinity teaching, I came across a video where the #crucifixion of Yeshua was likened to a human sacrifice, which Father is strongly against. The argument was that Bible believers can't believe in the crucifixion and then say that we follow Father as Deuteronomy 12:31 warns us:

"You must not worship the Lord your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the Lord hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods."

What I have noticed is that other verses also talks about burning their children as a sacrifice: Leviticus 18:21, Jeremiah 19:5 and Psalm 106:37-38

What is your understanding in the crucifixion?

Comment

Yeshua was not passed through the fire of molech. Also, there is the story of the man who vowed to sacrifice to Yah the first thing that came out of his house to greet him. It was his virgin daughter. She asked to mourn her virginity, and then it is implied that he sacrificed her. So human sacrifice is not unprecedented.

The gentleman that “sacrificed” his daughter to YaH didn’t kill her. From my understanding he sent her to the temple where she was to fully devote herself you him. Essentially but not literally become a nun. Full service to the Most High God. She was no longer a part of her father’s house but God’s house.

In regards to Rhy’s question. My understanding of the crucifixion of Yeshua was a lot more that human sacrifice. Since Yeshua was fully human to serve the House of YaH and to pave the way for us believers as the suffering servant he is also fully God. To my understanding God sacrificed himself to allow for his creation to be accepted in his Kingdom. Much like Yeshua said no one person has been to heaven but him. He had to be slain like the Levitical priest slain the bulls, goats, lambs, turtle doves etc to make way and prepare the heavenly Tabernacle for us to be able to fully worship and honor the Most High.

Sin brings death. If you've ever watched National Treasure, the detective tells the main character "someone's gotta go to jail".

Same thing here: someone's gotta die. He died so we don't have to.

I think people look at it from the bodily death standpoint, but when we look at Biblical death, the bodily death is sleep, the second death is what death is. That is what I believe He took in our place, which is why the enemy would have riled people up to act out in killing Him. He knew that it wasn't just a bodily death, which could be easily raised as we saw with Lazarus. This was the second death because He took that sin upon Him. The final death, nothing else afterward. Which He still came back from, taking victory over it and giving us a way to keep from having to take on that death.
