MaxInDHouse: 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 |

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. |

peggywebbs: 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. 1 Like |

PastorMIsBack: 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? |
Re: Did Jephthah Actually Sacrifice His Daughter To The Lord As A Burnt Offering? by Nobody: 2:48pm On Mar 22, 2022 |
OLAADEGBU: 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. |

peggywebbs:Did you really read the scriptures? 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: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:Nah, it won't happen, same way it wouldnt happen to sacrifice human beings as burned offering to God PastorMIsBack: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 Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories. |

OLAADEGBU: PastorMIsBack: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 Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories. |
