The highlighted questions!
A burnt offering is that which nobody is to taste any of it's body parts, it's to be burnt completely in fire on the altar as a sweet aroma to JEHOVAH! Leviticus 8:18:21
So how come a human being is reserved for a burnt offering before JEHOVAH since Jehovah never demanded human sacrifice? Jeremiah 7:31; 19:5
I will stop here for now!

Jehovah God owns everything we could think of so nothing belongs to us, but because of His underserved kindness (grace) He has given us a share of His property to make us feel a sense of belonging. When we borrow money from our fellowman we make use of the money given to us but after working and earning another money we pay back the equivalent of what we owe.
The case of BURNT OFFERINGS differs it is to be given to God as a whole nothing to be reserved for the giver it will serve as a sweet aroma to JEHOVAH while it is burnt completely! Leviticus 1:3-9
Now we humans are created in God's image unlike all other creatures our life means a lot to JEHOVAH because we serve not with instinct but from the hearts since we have a choice whether to serve or not.
So when a person is given to God as a BURNT OFFERING to JEHOVAH it means such a person has nothing to give back to himself or parents all his/her life will be dedicated to the service of JEHOVAH. That's why Jephthah's daughter never got married, her whole life has been given the service of JEHOVAH.
During the resurrection she will have another life when the former covenant is no more then she will marry a man of her choice and enjoy a blissful matrimony in Paradise where there is nothing to make her fear, cry or mourn not for just 80, 90 or 100 years but forever! Psalms 37:29

Did Jephthah sacrifice his daughter to the Lord?

The story of Jephthah is a typical example of how God does not support murder or human sacrifice. The man promised to kill the first person that comes to him after winning the war. It so happened it was his daughter. Immediately he regretted it.

It was a very big lesson never to take someone's life for the sport of it. He would have happily killed a random innocent person, God taught him and every one who reads that story a big lesson.

No he didn't. Judges 11:31 says, "I will give to the LORD whatever comes out of my house to meet me when I return in triumph. I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering.”

They way the houses were built those days, animals lived below and he was expecting an animal to first come out not a human.

Trick question: Would he have sacrificed a dog if it came out to meet him?

Ezekiel 20:25


25Moreover, I gave them statutes that were not good and rules by which they could not have life, 26and I defiled them through their very gifts in their offering up all their firstborn, that I might devastate them. I did it that they might know that I am the LORD.

The same way God hardened the heart of Pharaoh and all those who hate him.

Was Jephthah qualified to offer burnt sacrifices to the Lord?

OLAADEGBU:

Yeah

When you vow a sacrifice, you take it to the priest, not do it yourself.

Kobojunkie:


See.... the question is simple....did Jephthah actually sacrifice his daughter to get Lord as a burnt offering as the story says he did?.

According to the writer of the story, Jephthah sacrificed his daughter believing he did it onto God, same way billions of so called Christians today claim they serve God this by bowing down ,not directly to God's Law , but to the doctrines and traditions of men(and their churches), even after Jesus Christ denounced all such submission as being against God's Truth and such worship as being meaningless/void. You all still go about claiming your worship is in the name of God so how is that any different from the claim made in the story told of Jephthah and his act.

So, skip over the long talk... no need for unnecessary lectures, go straight to answering the question.

Did Jephthah kill his daughter? Yes or No. No long story.

PastorMIsBack:


When you vow a sacrifice, you take it to the priest, not do it yourself.

Good try.

Second question: If it was a dog that was unfortunate to meet Jephthah would he have taken the dog to the priest as a burnt offering to the Lord?

As an Israelite, he wouldn't have kept a dog, if they deem it as unclean. The same way the Egyptians found cattle abhorrent so Joseph's family had to live in Goshen away from them.

I will stop here for now!

The question is, did Jephthah offer his daughter as a dead sacrifice to the Lord? No prevaricating.

PastorMIsBack:

It is possible for a dog to have strayed into his compound, a neighbour's wife, child or visitor could have come out to meet him. Would he have proceeded to fulfil his vow if it meant taking them to the priest as a sacrifice?

PastorMIsBack:


Yeah

A dog is an unclean animal, would that be acceptable to God and would the priest agree to offer it?

OLAADEGBU:

Was Jephthah qualified to offer burnt sacrifices to the Lord?

Go and read Leviticus 1:1-9!
Jephthah is an ISRAELITE and the law of their God clearly stated that BURNT OFFERINGS can be offered by ISRAELITES!

OLAADEGBU:

I'm not responding to please you so if you can't figure out the answer in my write-up then go and ask Kumuyi!

If you've been paying attention you would have realised that only priests are qualified to offer sacrifices to the Lord. In this context are human beings to be offered as burnt offerings?

The person whose heart hasn’t been hardened to break them…. Supposedly


Who is able to sacrifice their own children?

In other words no one is able to keep the decalogue perfectly. God only permitted the hardened hearted to persist in their criminality.

Wrong. False old prophet.

"For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings" (Hosea 6:6).

Asked the question because it's clear that its you actually who didnt read story properly, correctly and deep enough
Where, really, in that narrative, did you read that Jephthah unequivocally promised to kill the first person that comes to him after winning the war?

PastorMIsBack:
No he didn't. Judges 11:31 says, "I will give to the LORD whatever comes out of my house to meet me when I return in triumph. I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering.”

They way the houses were built those days, animals lived below and he was expecting an animal to first come out not a human.

Yeah you're absolutely right he didnt hence why I liked the post
On top, Judges 11:31 is a veiled double vow, with the animal part of the vow, masked. Call it a combo vow or double whammy vow, if you like, even alternatively call it, a two tier or two-fold vow, as well, loll.

OLAADEGBU:
Trick question: Would he have sacrificed a dog if it came out to meet him?

Nah, it won't happen, same way it wouldnt happen to sacrifice human beings as burned offering to God

PastorMIsBack:
Yeah

Of course, not Yeah, as since the criteria is a clean animal, the dog would have gained a reprieve, meaning, a stay of execution, as it were, and so not be sacrificed, loll

Job 30:1
But now I am mocked by people younger than I, by young men whose fathers are not worthy to run with my sheepdogs.

Matthew 15:26-28
'26But Jesus replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
27“Yes, Lord,” she said, “ even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
28“O woman,” Jesus answered, “your faith is great! Let it be done for you as you desire.”
And her daughter was healed from that very hour'

For your info, Israelites do keep dogs. As a matter of fact, that Job 30:1, you see up there, is about a sheep dog, while, Matthew 15:26-27 is about a pet dog
