Yeah but you still get attempts to wash the story. Even on here you see MuttleyLaff challenging the narrative that Jephthah actually roasted his daughter.

CreepyBlackpool:
Anybody that believes in juju, witchcraft, money rituals, this whole pant ish needs psychiatric evaluation!

MuttleyLaff:
1/ When, where and which exact bible verse did Jephthah vow to barbecue his daughter as an offering to please Yahweh?
2/ When, where and which exact bible verse did Jephthah barbecued his daughter as an offering to please Yahweh?

Dantedas and LordReed stop dilly dallying about and start to kindly oblige giving the exact two verses in the bible I asked you and Dantedasz off so we can knuckle down and get to business, not this burying in a haystack of tissues of lies ploy. You guys know you haven't any legs to stand on so probably won't have the balls to provide the verses but instead push forward a swamp of verses

CodeTemplar:
The man vowed and fulfilled his vow? How is that God's fault?

LordReed:
Truly astounding rubbish.

LordReed:
When I was a Christian I struggled with this passage because it didn't gel with anything we knew of the god. So in other to make it make sense I was taught that she wasn't given as a burnt offering, she instead became a "nun". Nevermind all the other problems that interpretation throws up, the sanctity of the god was preserved. LMFAO!

Dantedasz:
^^^


Judges 11:30-40 New International Version (NIV)
30 And Jephthah made a vow to the Lord: “If you give the Ammonites into my hands, 31 whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the Lord’s, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering.”

32 Then Jephthah went over to fight the Ammonites, and the Lord gave them into his hands. 33 He devastated twenty towns from Aroer to the vicinity of Minnith, as far as Abel Keramim. Thus Israel subdued Ammon.

34 When Jephthah returned to his home in Mizpah, who should come out to meet him but his daughter, dancing to the sound of timbrels! She was an only child. Except for her he had neither son nor daughter. 35 When he saw her, he tore his clothes and cried, “Oh no, my daughter! You have brought me down and I am devastated. I have made a vow to the Lord that I cannot break.”

36 “My father,” she replied, “you have given your word to the Lord. Do to me just as you promised, now that the Lord has avenged you of your enemies, the Ammonites. 37 But grant me this one request,” she said. “Give me two months to roam the hills and weep with my friends, because I will never marry.”

38 “You may go,” he said. And he let her go for two months. She and her friends went into the hills and wept because she would never marry. 39 After the two months, she returned to her father, and he did to her as he had vowed. And she was a virgin.

From this comes the Israelite tradition 40 that each year the young women of Israel go out for four days to commemorate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite.

MuttleyLaff:
What's wrong with that

Of course it does, it actually does makes a great deal of sense to me. Why bother reinventing the wheel, when you can make do with what is already a prevailing practice

God is sovereign, he can use even what He hates to test anybody. Even, me, sometimes, have to do certain things I hate, for example, I hate taking the rubbish out but I hardly have any choice, not to. I hate mowing the lawn, so sometimes, pay or get someone else to do it. Well Abraham deserved to be rewarded now, dont you think. That would have been a traumatic experience you wouldnt want to relive

Now you are putting the cart before the horse here. Where and when before the Abraham-Isaac incident, was child sacrifice explicitly condemned huh?

"They have built pagan shrines at Topheth, the garbage dump in the valley of Ben-Hinnom, and there they burn their sons and daughters in the fire. I have never commanded such a horrible deed; it never even crossed my mind to command such a thing!"
- Jeremiah 7:31

Dantedasz, Jephthah DID NOT use his daughter as a burnt offering and this because human burnt offering is an anathema to God. Jephthah knew this and so never was he planning nor had any intention of offering God a human burnt offering. Besides burnt offering always had to do with animals anway, and never had anything to do with human sacrifices

For anyone interested in knowing. Two vows were made by Jephthah. None of the vows was about barbequing suya human beings nor about seminary school but if being lenient, then, maybe in a kind of non-technical way, we can accept "seminary school" as being one of the two vows.

Dantedasz and his worthless YouTube animated video again. The only person the clip has any worth to is nonstampcollector because of the sweet kerching sound when YouTube sends him crispy dollar cheques at the end of the month

This Jephthah controversy has been flogged enough times and long time laid to rest on nairaland. I wonder why, some are still tearing hairs out and getting hard-ons over it

I thought escorts follow Agofure bus.

They have been attacking them lately

pocohantas:
Chai, such a sad incident and an unfortunate lady. By the time Nigerian police is done with her, she would wish she was kidnapped too.

What could be the motive of kidnapping all the passengers?
