SIRTee15:

Let me ask u a question
If a judge sentence u to death. And u have 2 months left before the execution.
What would be your priority. Moaning over lack of sex, if u are a bachelor- moaning because u will never marry.
What u guys are pushing makes no sense at all and u all know it...

Maynman:

Why didn't hannah call samuel burnt offering?

Dtruthspeaker:


Look at what you have said, persons awaiting execution of death sentence can never lament solely about loss of sex and marriage. They lament about living and seeing the sun and relatives and people and Solomon in Ecclesiastes shows you.

But when you are told that you are going to be castrated or you suffer erectile/penile dysfunction or womb loss or made a monk, sex and marriage are the matters you must be wailing about!

SIRTee15:

How can a girl about to be killed gather her friends and take them to the mountain to moan about not having sex.
Makes no sense.

Maynman:

The vow is the burnt offering.

SIRTee15:


The Hebrew verb and noun translated in the phrase of Jephthah’s vow, “I will offer up for a burnt offering” (Judg. 11:31).
Both the verb and noun come from the one root, ‘olah (sic), meaning “to go up.”
The words themselves, however, do not connote the idea of death. They speak only of something being given up to God. A literal translation of Jephthah’s words, in fact, would be, “I cause that which goes up to go up.”

Aemmyjah:


If yu had any sense of the Bible, you'll see that it was not human sacrifice but her being dedicated for the rest of her life to God with no prospect of marriage
God does not accept any human sacrifice
Stop feigning full ignorance when you know nothing

Aemmyjah:



Fullblown ignorance
Chai

Aemmyjah:


To sacrifice means to offer or set apart as a gift to God or a deity
Some sacrifices could be land, fields, animals, humans, etc... Only an ignorant person will reason that all living things sacrificed must be killed

Aemmyjah:


So many children claiming intelligence on nairaland
You can't provide one verse that shows he himself accepted human flesh
All the places where human sacrifices were done in the Bible, he condemned them

Aemmyjah:


1. But he tested Abraham shows he's not omniscient as he has the power to withhold himself from certain abilities such as power, foreknowledge too.

2. Same was what happened with Hannah and Samuel ... Sacrifices means something set apart to God... If someone wants to sacrifice by using money, will he burn it?

3. Our first father, Adam who was perfect corrupted himself and handed over to us imperfection and sin and death... What Jesus did was a willing Ransom to buy back the life Adam lost and help us to life forever... With your physical mind, it can't make sense to you... It is not money or animal sacrifice that can help us

Aemmyjah:


The only person adding is you
Any man who offered up a fellow man the way they do animals will receive a curse, not a blessing
Such sacrifices was condemned by God
You are the one disturbing yourself wit wrong conclusions

Maynman:

She is mourning that she has no kids, the purpose of women then was primarily reproduction

What does burnt offering mean?

SIRTee15:


Show me in the passage where it mentioned not having children.
Emphasis was on never marry and virginity.
Mourning because of no kid is a figment of your imagination to add your own words.
Revelation 22 punishment is awaiting u...ask TheMadame

MaxInDHouse:

Many atheists just pick up a verse and build an argument around it, once you've dropped your comment let the atheist continue arguing with himself any sincere follower will get the sense of what is found written in God's word!

Maynman:

She is mourning that she has no kids, the purpose of women then was primarily reproduction

What does burnt offering mean?

MaxInDHouse:


When an animal is presented as burnt offering back then it means everything must be burnt to arches nothing should be left for any other purpose the whole animal must be burnt completely on the altar.

The smell of such a sacrifice differs from the one where only it's fat is burnt.

Sacrifices were presented and both the Levites and the one presenting the offering has designated parts of the animal reserved for their consumption but in case of the burnt o[code][/code]ffering nothing is reserved.

So when a person is offered as burnt offering to the God of Israel it means such a person will no longer pursue a life of pleasing either herself or parent all his or her life will be dedicated to the God of Israel.

Of course Jephthah made the vow thinking it's one of his slaves that will come and welcome him unknowing that it's his one and only child that will fall in.

May you have PEACE!

Maynman:

You didn't say anything.

May you have JOY.

MaxInDHouse:


OK Sir!

Maynman:

All burnt sacrifices connotes that hebrew word.

The smoke from the burning goes up.

Maynman:
virgins don't have kids.
The fear that controls you, don't control me.
You are worshipping a lie, better look up on the origin of the book of revelation.

What does burnt offering mean?

SIRTee15:


Only the levite priest can perform burnt offering. They would not accept a human being as burnt offering because it's abominable to God.

What goes up from the burnt offering to God is the aroma. That's what is pleasing to God, not the smoke.

Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar along with the burnt offering for a pleasing aroma to the Lord, a food offering presented to the Lord. Exodus 29.25

That's why there was emphasis on her virginity in the passage.
She was offered to serve God undefiled. The same reason nuns are meant to be virgins because that is what u are sacrificing for God.

SIRTee15:


Virgins also don't marry and they don't have sex. These 2 were emphasised in the bible but nothing about not having kids.

Not all non-virgins have kids. U should know that.
But all non virgins in ancient Israelites must have been married at a point in their life. Being otherwise could be fatal for the girl.

Burnt offering already explained and it's meaning in the verse clarified.

TheMadame:



My issue with people like you is the regular resort to using abusive words on anyone who does not agree with your perception. Why using the word ignorant?
The standard operating word in this passage is BURNT OFFERING!
No matter how you twist and turn the words of this Bible passage the standard operating word remains BURNT OFFERING.

Maynman:

The verse never said anything about marry, but she was a virgin.

Burnt offering means what it means, which other verse does burnt offering mean service in the temple?

Maynman:

We are talking about judges and that Incident, there was no king during these periods.
Aroma doesn't go up, the smoke is the aroma that goes up to the omnipotent god lol

She was offered as sacrifice, I wonder what you will say if she was not a virgin.

Dantedasz:


Adult claiming ignorance. Quote where Yahweh rejected Jephthah from sacrificing his daughter as a BURNT OFFERING!

Maynman:

She is mourning that she has no kids, the purpose of women then was primarily reproduction
