  • Wasn't jesus a human sacrifice?

  • The real question here is just how stupid was Jephthah; how many people COULD have come out of HIS house when he got home? Even with a bunch of servants or something he was most likely offering up a 50/50 deal that the sacrifice would be a family member.

    Ohhhhh yeah, he is fictional and poorly written as a cheap device to illustrate a theme. THAT is why his motivations make no sense.

  • @Zackindy0846 OMG............I think I understand!

  • @vcomp1960 Well, technically he was only half human. The other half was imaginary, like his father.

  • I remember reading about Jephthah in Sunday School.Our teachers told us that he was a mighty man of valor and he sounded cool to me.But apparently,my teachers forgot to tell me he was a fucking idiot and couldn't understand probabilities...

  • Lol human sacrifice is all over the old testament... And brutal displays of power all over the new testament. :P

  • It's probably a bad sign but as soon as the guy asked the question I thought "Judges 11: 29-40". I know the Bible and al-Quran far too well. >.<

  • @IoEstasCedonta LOL. He is punished, but it is his daughter who has to die! I think a better punishment would be for God to have told him, "No!" and then chosen a better leader, thus demoting him.

  • @IoEstasCedonta LOL Jephtha's daughter dies, but HE'S the one being punished! That is so much better! Thank you for that information on the Catholic line.

  • The official Catholic line on Jephthah is that he was offering to sacrifice a random *person* from his city (the Hebrew's a bit ambiguous, but supports this), and God was punishing him for this.

  • @Zackindy0846 huh??????????????????????

  • As you read the bible, substitute the word "EvilOne" for the word "Jehovah" in the bible then the Bible makes sense. I can see where "EvilOne would get off calling himself Jehovah and have people write about his great works and having morons worshiping him.
