  • WHAT ABORTION IS and WHY GOD HATES IT - 3 years ago
    Moloch, also spelled Molech, a Canaanite deity associated in biblical sources with the practice of CHILD SACRIFICE. The name derives from combining the consonants of the Hebrew melech (king) with the vowels of boshet (shame), the latter often being used in the O.T. as a variant name for the popular god Baal.

    In the Hebrew Bible, Moloch is presented as a foreign deity who was at times illegitimately given a place in Israel's worship as a result of the policies of certain apostate kings. The laws given to Moses by God expressly forbade the Jews to do what was done in Egypt or in Canaan. YOU SHALL NOT give any of your children to devote them by fire to Moloch, and so profane the name of God ( Leviticus 18:21). Yet kings such as Ahaz ( 2 Kings 16:3) and Manasseh ( 2 Kings 21:6), having been influenced by the Assyrians, are reported to have worshipped Moloch at the hilled site of Topheth, outside the walls of Jerusalem. This site flourished under Manasseh's son King Amon but was destroyed during the reign of Josiah, the reformer. "And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the sons of Hinnom, that no one might burn his son or his daughter as an offering to Moloch" ( 2 Kings 23:10).

    Leviticus 20: 2-5

    Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed (children) unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones. And I will set my face against THAT MAN and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.

    And IF THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND IN ANY WAY HIDE THEIR EYES from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:

    Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a WHORING after him, to to commit whoredom with Molech.

    Dear Eric Lopez ,i know exactly what you mean ,all those people who saw the pillar of fire and the pillar of cloud and who ate the manna every day in the wilderness ,how did they not tell their children and grandchildren of these marvelous things they saw and experienced ? When i was a child in school we had some basic Bible stories and we did some Bible plays ,i know that that sort of thing hasnt happened in the u.k. for a very long time now ,unless you go to a catholic school in u.k. theres no such thing as Christian teachings ,its very sad ,stay strong Eric ,God wants you with Him .

    This is very sad evil continues in the generations of Kings. How does the gracious of a King who follows the Lord pass over to the next King who does evil and worships other Gods? Bad parenting? This reminds me God's word to teach thy children of the laws of Moses at a young age. Generation to generation. Was this not done?
  • Rod - In Reply on Revelation 1 - 3 years ago
    The simple answer to your question is repentance and prayer, knowing that only through faith in the Cross and all that it means, do we receive God's grace and mercy. I've been there and done that many times over the years, we've all fallen at one time or another, this is because of our human nature (sin) but I also believe that the Holy Spirit is there through our conscience to comfort us, and convict us when we've gone astray (that guilty feeling) and direct us back to the cross (the narrow road). If somehow we hurt one of our friends and realize our mistake we ask for forgiveness, and if we're genuine in our apology, our true friends will forgive us realizing that we all make mistakes. Throughout the bible we find man falling away from God, as David did with Bathsheba, another man's wife, 2 Samuel 11:3, or Manasseh in 2 Kings 21:14 - 21:17, but through repentance and prayer they again came to know God and all His mercies, and Paul who first persecuted the church became one of the greatest apostles for the church.

    Throughout the NT you will read of Jesus teaching starting with Matthew Chapter 5-7, this is the start of Jesus ministry, the Beatitudes and sermon on the mount.

    Matthew 5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

    Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."

    Matthew 7:7 "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:"

    Are you referring to Asherah? If so, this word is not the King James Bible, but in other Bible versions it is translated as 'Asherah'.

    Asherah (plural, Asherim) refers to 'grove' in the KJV, and these groves were essentially the trunk of a tree that was hewed down & then carved into an image for the purpose of worship that image. The origin of this was the Canaanite goddess Astarte whose image may have been carved into the trunk.

    You may remember that God's people, Israel, were commanded to go into the land of the Canaanites, Hivites, Hittites, etc. to conquer them & this land would be Israel's future possession. However, throughout the history of Israel, they started off well to serve the true & living God, but ended up taking on the worship of the idols of the heathen around them. You can look at these references: 1 Kings 16:33, 2 Kings 21:7, Exodus 34:13, Judges 6:25 for a few occurrences of this idolatry. So whenever you see 'groves' or 'asherah', they refer to idolatry that was practised by heathen nations & for which Israel often also did & suffered under God's Hand.

    A Disciple, that reminds me of the saying, the same sun that melts the wax is the same sun that hardens the clay .
  • A disciple on 2 Kings 21 - 6 years ago
    Emmanuel Appew; How does one be judged by God, so that He hardens the heart; and another that He draws him with cords of love? How do some recognize and fear the high and holy calling of the Spirit of God, while others...many, will not receive Him or know Him at all? We might expect that the more someone actually sees the works of God and has access to His Word, there would be a good result. But..
  • Emmanuel appew on 2 Kings 21 - 6 years ago
    The anger of God will always be upon all those who fail to obey the rules and regulations of God the most high. again i have also seen that many of the afflictions the Israelite goes through was because they fail to obey the instructions of God.but in 2kings i will say that Manasseh was Israels problem because he the way he conducted himself as idolator and wicked king,that make him fail.

    56 years between Hezekiah and Josiah rule and they did not even know where the book of the law was, or what it said.
