Before watching this video keep in mind this is philosophy.
"Philosophy of religion is the philosophical examination of the themes and concepts involved in religious traditions as well as the broader philosophical task of reflecting on matters of religious significance including the nature of religion itself, alternative concepts of God or ultimate reality, and the religious significance of general features of the cosmos (e.g., the laws of nature, the emergence of consciousness) and of historical events (e.g., the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake, the Holocaust). Philosophy of religion also includes the investigation and assessment of worldviews (such as secular naturalism) that are alternatives to religious worldviews. Philosophy of religion involves all the main areas of philosophy: metaphysics, epistemology, value theory (including moral theory and applied ethics), philosophy of language, science, history, politics, art, and so on. Section 1 offers an overview of the field and its significance, with subsequent sections covering developments in the field since the mid-twentieth century. These sections address philosophy of religion as practiced primarily (but not exclusively) in departments of philosophy and religious studies that are in the broadly analytic tradition. The entry gives significant attention to theism, but it concludes with highlighting the increasing breadth of the field, as more traditions outside the Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) have become the focus of important philosophical work." plato.stanford.edu/entries/philosophy-religion/#:~:text=Philosophy%20of%20religion%20is%EE%80%80%20the%20philosophical
In this thread we are also delving into some college level stuff, so if you find it hard to understand, difficult explanations of complex topics; this video might not be for you.
Also don't just watch part of this video, decide you hate this man, and leave thinking you understand what this video's main point was.
If some of the Israelites were sacrificing their 1st born to YHVH for atonement for sin, (which this has not been shown to be proven 100%); We are just pondering what scholars have delved into. At 1st glance it might seem gruesome and heartless but knowing that God is a God of love and perfect judgement, I would think those kids, (whom were innocent) would thus go to be with God till one day being reunited w/ the parents when the parents died one day. That's a very simplistic way of putting it without going into "when do we enter Heaven, immediately upon death or go to a resting place till after Jesus' 2nd return?' That's another long topic. Simply put, God created those kids, loves them and they went to be with Him.
Remember, he did mention escape clauses too.
I loved that man's dry humor. He cracked me up a couple of times even though it is in no way a humorous subject.
I hesitated to share this knowing people might take it wrong.
There is nothing wrong with examining possibilities, (even difficult ones, involving things that we really don't like thinking about.)
Everyone knows that animal sacrifices used to happen. Maybe it went further than that at times. This scholar makes some good points that show that it very well could have.
In the end God gave the greatest sacrifice of all. He sacrificed His only begotten Son, Jesus for atonement for our sins. We know that Jesus ended up being ok in spite of it all. He resurrected. He returned to Heaven to be at the right hand of God.
Those kids resurrected to be with God too. Keep that in mind. We all get resurrected after death so no matter how horrible our life or death is, once resurrected all that pain will be gone. Knowing this is how martyrs are able to get the strength to allow people to martyr them.
