Pagan Sacrifices

YHVH never commands killing or destroying an animal without a clear, sensible, physical function, such as feasting, teaching, and/or sanitation. Despite widespread traditional misunderstanding, this distinction is what differentiates YHVH from pagan gods.

115 SCRIPTURES on the theme of Pagan Sacrifices

IsaiYAH 66:3 Anyone who sacrifices an ox is a murderer, 😇. He who sacrifices a lamb, it's like he cut off a dog's neck. He who burns a sacrificial-animal [might as well] be a [satan worshipper drinking] pig blood. [You burn] memorial frankincense [not to me but] to idol-demons. Yes, [anyone who sacrifices an animal] has invented his own [religion]. Their soul, [not mine], delights in their abominations.
note: YAH has always wanted food cooked for poor people to eat at feasts. But he never wanted food burned up to appease him. The commercial translations gyrate themselves into the floor adding words in vain effort to harmonize this verse with their pro-animal-sacrifice bias: CJB/NIRV: "those others", NLT: "such people", MSG: "Your", and the king of added-words, the GNT: "The people do as they please. It's all the same to them whether they..." These corrupt translations add these words to get around the clear message of scripture: our Creator has ALWAYS hated animal-sacrifice, as he hates human-sacrifice. The slaughter of animals is, was and always will be a means of feeding people, not appeasing the Creator.
JeremiYAH 7:22 —I NEVER told your fore-fathers, nor did I command them in the period when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, [anything] about [My wanting] burnt offerings or [ritual] sacrifices, 😇.
note: There it is, in plain black-and-white even a baby could understand: YAH never, ever wanted animals killed, except to EAT in sacred feast celebrations.
Hosea 6:6 For I [YHVH] desire mercy, 😇, not slaughter [of animals in ritual sacrifices]! I demand kindness, not slaughter of men [in war]. I value people knowing [Me,] Elohim. [I hate all] burnt offerings.
note: YHVH never, ever wanted people to sacrifice animals to him. This truth is fundamental to understanding YAH's nature and understanding His true gospel. Reject the war-god's ridiculous blood-sucking “bad-news good news” spouted out in so many churches.
Hebrews 10:4 For 😇, it is [totally, ridiculously] impossible that the blood of bulls and of goats could take away sins!
note: That kills the idea that YAH killed his own son. Shedding blood does nothing to cause YAH to forgive sin. YAH hates bloodshed. This is clear in both the older and newer testaments.
1st Samuel 15:22 SamuEl {Heard-By-El} replies, “YHVH [doesn't] delight in burnt-sacrifices and butchery! He delights in [your] obeying [His] voice! Look, 😇! It's better to obey than to slaughter. [It's better] to listen [to YAH] than [to donate] the finest ram-meat [to His Sanctuary feasts].
Psalms 40:6 You've [finally] opened my ears! [At last I understand that] you never wanted [anyone] to offer slaughtered [animals] to you! You never asked us to burn up [animals and groceries] as offerings [to pay for our] sins! [We misunderstood what Moses said!]
note: All the standard translations agree on the basic meaning of this verse, yet they refuse to correct the hundreds of other verses which they so wrongly translate to espouse animal sacrifice.
Psalms 50:13 [😇, do you really think] I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
JeremiYAH 7:21 The Elohim of Israel, YHVH-master-of-all-armies, commands: “Abolish your [disgusting] burnt offerings! [Instead,] butcher [your donated animals] to feast [paupers and priests on kosher] meat [at sacred celebrations]!
note: This key verse clinches the crucial truth that YHVH NEVER wanted any animals burned in his honor. "Abolish" = #5595 caphah : properly, to scrape, shave, scatter, remove, or ruin, perish
MicaYah 6:8 Man, YAH keeps showing you what is good. What does YHVH require of you, 😇? To act justly, to love mercy, to walk humbly with your Elohim.
note: YHVH never had the slightest interest in wasting animals.
Mark 12:33 —And to love YHVH with all [your] heart, with all your understanding, with all your soul, and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself: that [love] is worth more than all the offerings and barbecue [donations anyone ever gave up].”
note: Offerings and ‘sacrifices’ (donations), when made properly, were and are gifts to help poor people and to provide for the maintenance of the temple. But love for YHVH and for others is more important.
Psalms 51:16 [Crazy people are saying that my child of adultery is dying to atone for my crimes. Crypto-satanists keep advising me to sacrifice animals to cover my guilt.] But you hate [animal and human] sacrifice! If you liked [dead animals,] I'd fill [the earth with animal blood]! You can't stand the [smoke of burning animals] ascending [into the sky]!
Psalms 51:17 [YHVH never wanted any animal sacrifices, 😇!] The ‘sacrifices’ Elohim [wants] are our hurt spirits [that the world has] slaughtered. ELohim, [I know] you will never despise a humbled, [crushed], repentant heart. [You don't want blood. You love to forgive us!]
note: In short: The donations YAH wants are [our] crushed spirits and humble hearts. This corrects the pervasive myth that YHVH ever conditioned the receipt of his forgiveness on any animal or human dying and bleeding. The myth of ‘Hebrew animal sacrifice’ is a pernicious and horrible lie from the devil.
IsaiYAH 1:11 YHVH asks, “Why [are you] sacrificing all [these animals]? I'm fed up. [I'm] sick of burnt-offerings of ram's [flesh]. [I hate] the grease of fattened beasts! I never delighted, [and do not delight, and never will delight] in the blood of bulls, or lambs, or goats, 😇!
note: This clears up the world-destroying misunderstanding regarding animal sacrifices: Yahweh never wanted anyone to burn up animals. Rather, certain inedible parts of the animals are burned for sanitary reasons and to create alkaline compost ash to revitalize soil. The rest of the "sacrificed" animal (that is, an animal freely given to the temple by its owner) provides food for the priests and the poor and celebrants at Hebrew feasts. This "food donation" and sensible processing is the opposite of pagan animal sacrifices, which are satanic, no matter where or when they get performed.
Matthew 9:13 But you go and learn what this means: “I want [acts of merciful] compassion, not [animal] sacrifices! I've come to call sinners, not righteous [people,] to repentance, 😇.”
note: (Hosea 6:6) Contrary to thousands of years of church-spawned misunderstanding, YHVH never asked anyone to kill animals to please Him. He suggested that people donate animals to feed people at feasts. The Biblical words rendered "sacrifice" (Hebrew #2077 zebach and Greek #2378 thusia) mean to slaughter, as you would any animal you eat.
Matthew 12:7 If you [religious hypocrites] had known what this means, ‘I [YAH] want mercy, not sacrifices,’ you would never have condemned guiltless [people].
note: YAH NEVER EVER wanted anyone to kill animals to make him happy, nor to buy His forgiveness with blood. Every day insane, sick nonsense gets spouted by paid religious wacko preachers and swallowed by immature baby Christianites who don't know their bibles. The animals were butchered to make meat for special feasts, and to feed the families of priests who served the spiritual, medical, dietary and educational needs of Israel.
Deuteronomy 32:17 [You] sacrifice [your wealth in taxes] to demon-leaders, not to [YHVH the] Eloah. [You support devilish] non-gods you know nothing [about. You fuel the world-destroying wars of every] new fashionable leader who springs up. [You slave for fake-authorities whom] your fore-fathers hurled-away, 😇.
note: Hurled = #8175 sa`ar: to storm; by implication, to shiver, i.e. fear: be (horribly) afraid, fear, hurl as a storm, be tempestuous, come (take away) like a whirlwind. Ps 106:37 also refers to demons/demigods.
2nd Kings 3:27 Then [the Moabite king] grabs his oldest son (who would have reigned in his place). He [stabs the boy through the heart. Then he burns the boy's body] on the [fortress] wall, sending up human-smoke [to appease his demon-god]. [When that sacrifice fails to stop Israel's victory, the crazed, beaten king] cracks off [in suicidal fury] against Israel. [Finally the Israeli coalition] retreats from [utterly defeated Moab]. The [Israelis] return to [their] own land.
note: Exactly what the great "indignation / fury / anger" means is not clear. Perhaps:
the Moabites repelled the Israelis.
or the Israelis were so sickened by the human sacrifice they left of their own will.
or the Moabites merely expressed rage at having been beaten.

According to the Moabite Stone, the Moabites drove Israel back, then Moab went on to many more great victories.

Psalms 50:9 I never accept [massacred] young bulls from your families, nor [murdered] stud-goats from your flock-pens.
note: YAH NEVER wanted animal sacrifice. He wants sacred feasts.
Psalms 50:11 😇, I know every bird on every mountain [in the universe]. Every creature scampering through every field [on earth] is already my [friend].
Psalms 50:12 If I were hungry, I wouldn't tell you [earth-crawlers], for [your tiny] planet is mine, along with everything in it.
MicaYah 6:7 Will YHVH {the-source-of-all-existence} be impressed with thousands of [sacrificed] rams, or with 10 thousand rivers of [wasted] oil, 😇? [Does the Elohim {Sovereign} who is pure-love] want me to sacrifice my firstborn [child to pay] for my transgression, to give the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?” [NO!]
note: Of course not! That's crazy! YHVH has never had the slightest interest in any animal or blood sacrifices. However, YAH is delighted when you give up your food to feed poor people and to support bona-fide priests who work in His health, welfare, education and justice ministries.
Hebrews 10:6 —YAH, [I know that] you've never taken ANY pleasure in burnt offerings nor [blood] sacrifices for sin.
Hebrews 10:11 Now, 😇, every priest stands every day doing his work, offering over and over the identical butcher [services], which can NEVER take away sins!
note: Blood rituals merely remind people of what is and is not a sin.
Hebrews 10:18 After [YAH] forgives [a] sin, 😇, there's no need to offer any donations [to address the] sin.
Exodus 22:20 He who slaughters [an animal] to [eat in a pagan feast or otherwise to honor] any elohim but YHVH, will be utterly banned, 😇.
note: This includes giving your wealth to any welfare-type system, which is by definition a religious sacrifice. This includes Easter. Banned, not destroyed. [Hebrew #2763 Charam = Secluded.]
Judges 16:23 One day, [in the prison courtyard, SunRay staggers, grinding rocks. He looks up. He hears] the Philistine war-lords amass together to offer a great sacrifice to their fish-god (Dagon). [The Philistines kill babies. They slaughter virgins. They murder poor children, dogs and pigs. They drink the victims' blood. They roll around in blood-covered orgies on the floor. Pope-hatted priests sprinkle blood like holy-water blessings on the fornicators. All the revelers] rejoice, shouting, “Our fish-god delivered our enemy (SunRay) into our power-fist!”
1st Kings 11:8 [Solomon builds satanic shrines] for all his non-Hebrew wives, 😇. They burn incense and sacrifice [animals] to their [demon] gods!
1st Kings 16:34 Meanwhile, [~40km to Samaria's southeast, king] Hiel {Life-From-El} from Beth-El {House-Of-El} [illegally] re-fortifies Jericho {Moon-Spirit}. [Hiel] lays [Jericho's] foundation [at the cost of] his firstborn, AbiRam {High-Father}. [Hiel] erects [Jericho's] gates [at the cost of] his youngest son Sagab {Lofty}. [These human sacrifices] fulfill the prediction YHVH spoke through Nun’s son JAHshua.
note: Perhaps: “Hiel rebuilt the city of Jericho, sacrificing his eldest and youngest sons, and placing their bodies in the walls.” Joshua’s prophecies are 100% correct. Jericho lies in ruins to this day, with only a tiny population (living parasitically on tourism), despite offering worldwide fame, good weather, fertile soil, a rich water supply and year-round sunshine.
Psalms 50:10 For every beast of the forest is [already] mine, 😇. I own the cattle on a [billion] hills.
Psalms 50:14 [I, your] Elohim, [have no interest in animal sacrifices]. Just offer me your gratitude, 😇. And make good on the promises you've made to [Me, the] Elyon {Most-High}.
JeremiYAH 11:17 For YHVH-Commander-Of-Armies, who planted you [scum], decrees, “Disaster [comes to rain] against you [pigs]. [I'm] ending the damage [inflicted] by the house of [north] Israel and by the house of Judah {Celebrated}. You keep acting against yourselves. You whip up my fury by smoking [animals] to [appease] Baal {Demon-Master}.”
note: #6999 qatar means ‘smoke/fumigation’, not necessarily ‘incense’. Again, whenever anyone anywhere sacrifices an animal, they sacrifice it to a demon, even if they burn the animal in the temple of YHVH in Jerusalem, with the best of intentions. YHVH never asked anyone to burn an edible animal. Impostor-priests ran two scams out of the Jerusalem temple: 1) selling animals which they then burned, and 2) selling overpriced diseased animals which they then slaughtered to feed people at "Hebrew" feasts. Burning animals decreased supply and therefore raised price, to line the pockets of the demon-infested religionite scammers.
JeremiYAH 19:5 The [nutballs] keep building high-shrines to [honor] Baal {Demon-Master}. [There they] burn their children with fire as ascent-offerings to [appease] Baal! I never commanded [animal nor human sacrifice], 😇! I never even mentioned [wanting] sacrifices. The desire [for burnt-offerings] never [even] enters my mind!
note: Your Creator demands food donations to feed poor people, not animal massacres!
JeremiYAH 32:29 The [Babylonian] Chaldeans now attacking this city rise to set this city on fire. They burn it, including the houses upon whose roofs the [Judaeans] cremate [sacrifices] to [appease] Baal {Demon-Master}. These [Judeans] whip up My rage by pouring out [blood] as a drink offering to [appease] retard-gods.
note: Today's leaders also sacrifice animals and humans.
Hosea 8:13 The [Jews] slaughter animal flesh. They offer it as a gift to [Me. But I don't eat sacrificed meat, 😇!] The [Jews] eat [the meat! I'm not a bloodthirsty pagan demon-god. I never ever] accepted [animal sacrifices. And I never will!] So I remember. [I refuse to pardon Israel's] depravity. [I] judge their sins. The [animal-sacrificers] return to [slavery in] Egypt.
note: The ‘sacrifices’ were supposed to be contributions to communal feasts to feed poor people and maintain the sacred government workers.
Amos 5:22 So if you [villains] offer me burnt offerings and your meat-donations, I won't accept them. I don't even look at the [so-called] peace-offerings of your greasy beasts.
note: YHVH never ever wanted animal sacrifices. YAH wants people to give up their best food to feed poor people and to support health, education and welfare workers.
Hebrews 10:5 So, 😇, into the world comes YahShua. He quotes [Psalm 40:6-7]: ‘YAH, you never wanted [animal] sacrifices nor [burnt] offerings. Instead, You've prepared a body for me [to use as a living picture of your character].
Hebrews 10:8 😇, yahShua [condemns] the [corrupted rituals that priests] offer [in abuse of the Torah:] He decrees: “You, YAH, NEVER wanted sacrifices, nor presents, nor burnt offerings nor [any other bribe to forgive] sin! NONE of those [manipulative pagan] rituals [ever] gave you any pleasure.”
note: How much clearer could it be? YAH NEVER wanted people to waste animals to please him! He commanded us to celebrate feasts in ways that would remind us to stop sinning. See Ezra 6:2.
Hebrews 10:9 And when YahShua said, “Here I am. I've come to do Your Will, Father," this signals that [YHVH] is getting rid of [the rogue priests with their vicious, unauthorized animal sacrifices. YAH has swept house to] install [YahShua as High Priest].
note: Thus YAH allowed the Romans to destroy the Jewish temple in 70 AD. No reason exits to offer blood rituals there or anywhere else ever again. However, we should still give ‘offerings’ (donations) to support YAH's workers, and to give charity, and to throw communal feasts.
Leviticus 10:17 [Moses yells,] “Why didn't you eat the confession-gift in the holy place?! [You goofballs just burned up a] supremely sacred [animal]! Elohim gave [the goat] to you! You're supposed to [cook the meat while you pray for] YHVH to carry away & cover over the sins of the congregation!
Numbers (Journeys) 23:14 So, 😇, [king Balak wheels Balaam in his chariot down] into the field of Zophim {Watchers}. Then [they ride] up to the [lookout on the] summit of [jagged Mount] Pisgah {Slice}. There [Balak's occult priests] build [another] 7 altars. They [again] burn a [kicking, screaming live] young bull and a [live] ram on every altar!
note: This mountain is where Moses dies.
1st Kings 13:2 [Suffused] in the word of YHVH, the [mystery-prophet] cries out, [banging] against the altar: “Altar, altar, YHVH decrees, ‘Watch! Into the dynasty of David {Love}, a [future Queen] births a prince named ‘JosiYah {Healed-By-Yah}’. [This Josiah] cooks [north Israel's bogus] incense-burning priests on you, [altar]! [Idol-worshippers] come to burn men's bones on you.’”
note: Josiah and Cyrus are the only people mentioned by name in far-off future prophecies. This human sacrifice prediction is fulfilled in 2Ki 23:16, 360 years later.
Psalms 106:37 Yes, [some Israelites even] slaughter their sons and their daughters to [appease] demons!
note: Just like modern parents sacrifice their children to the god of war.
IsaiYAH 1:12 Who asked you [to kill all of those animals] when you come to worship me? [Stop] trampling [blood and guts] all over my courtyards!
note: Again, animal sacrifices were never desired by YAHWEH. Animal sacrifice is Satan's addiction, not YAH's.
JeremiYAH 6:20 [You] haul me incense from Sheba {Seven}, and sweet cane from distant land[s]. For what? Your burnt offerings disgust [me]. Your putrid sacrifices [sicken] me.”
note: The Levitical system functioned so that people could learn to give up their food to feed needy people, not so people could burn up stuff in a vain effort to treat YHVH like a hungry pagan demon god.
JeremiYAH 11:15 What have [you,] my [once] beloved [people], to do with my temple? [You] keep concocting and propagating evil [schemes] to turn sacred meat [offerings into a cash-for-sacrifice business]. [The more] ruin you wreak, [the more] you jump for joy!”
Ezekiel 8:11 There before the idols [and creepy creatures] stand 70 [chief] Elder men of the house of Israel. In the middle of the [70] stands JaazaniYah {Heard-By-YAH} the son of Shaphan {Secret-Keeper}. Every man [lifts] his censer in his hand. A thick cloud of incense rises up [to the roof of the temple].
Jonah 1:16 The sailors stand overwhelmed, awestruck by YHVH's power. They swear vows. They slaughter [animals, mistakenly believing that] YHVH [wants] sacrifices [and vows].
Acts 7:42 So YHVH turns [his back on the disobedient Israelites]. He gives them up to worship the army of star-demons, as written [in scores of places] in the book[s] of the prophets: “Oh house of Israel, [you haven't been sacrificing animals to ME these] 40 years! [You've been offering Satan your] slain beasts and sacrifices in the wilderness!
note: YHVH never ever wanted people to kill animals to please Him. Righteous slaughter of animals serves then and now to provide food for communal feasts and for priests and needy people. Killing animals and wasting their bodies is always Satanic. This message is clearly presented by many prophets including Isaiah, David, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Micah, Hosea, Amos, Christ, Matthew, Mark, Paul, and here, Stephen.
Hebrews 9:22 And, 😇, in the Torah's rules, the priests ritually ‘clean’ nearly everything with blood. Whenever the priests [symbolize] freedom from sin, blood is somehow involved.
note: This is often said to mean, yet absolutely does NOT mean, that YAH demands that every time someone sins, something has to die for YAH to forgive the sinner. Remember Heb 10:11, Heb 10:4: “It is NOT possible that the blood of bulls and of goats could take away sins.” When priests butcher animals to provide food for feasts and for charity, the blood gets poured out on the ground. This foreshadows Yahshua being murdered by Satan. Then plants grow up from the fertilized ground. This symbolizes Yahshua's rise from the dead to reclaim all authority over Satan's slaves. Yahshua's metaphorical ‘blood’ bought us all back from the devil. Yet love, not blood, appeases the wrath of YHVH. Blood-appeasement is a satanic, not Hebraic, idea.
Leviticus 10:16 Then Moses looks everywhere for the goat [to be cooked and eaten as the community's] confession-gift, 😇. [Shocked, Moses] finds [the animal] burned [to a crisp, totally inedible and disgusting, 😇]. So Moses cracks off [in fury] at ELeazar {El's-Aid} and Ithamar {Palm-Coast}, Aaron's surviving sons, [who burned the animal, copying pagan ritual sacrifices from Egypt, totally misunderstanding YHVH's instructions].
note: Burnt = saraph. Once again, proof that the "sacrifices" were always supposed to be donations cooked as food, NOT burnt!
Leviticus 10:19 Aaron explains to Moses, “Look, [yes, my clueless surviving boys stupidly burned] their confession-gift and their ascension-gift [in a misguided attempt to bribe] YHVH [to resurrect their dead brothers]. But we couldn't have eaten [one bite today], not even of a most-holy [and delicious] confession-gift. [My boys and I are sick with grief.] Don't you think YHVH looks on us with compassion, [even though my boys messed up by burning that animal]?”
1st Kings 16:32 Then [Ahab] builds Baal {Demon-Master} a temple in Samaria. [Ahab] erects an [animal-sacrifice] altar for Baal inside [this temple].
IsaiYAH 57:5 You [occultists] enflame your lusts with idol-gods under any green tree. You slay children in the river-valleys, under rocky crags!
note: Today's evil world leaders still commit child sacrifice.
JeremiYAH 11:12 Then the cities of Judea, including [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem, run shrieking [for help from] the ‘gods’ to whom they smoke [sacrificed animals]. But [false gods] never save [anyone] from their era of ruin, 😇.
JeremiYAH 32:35 The [scammers] keep building high-shrines to [honor] Baal {Demon-Master}. [Occult monuments fill] the Ben-Hinnom valley. The [idiots] make their sons and their daughters defect [from Hebraism] to [kill for] Molech {War-God-King}! I never commanded any [such criminal psychosis]! It never came into my mind to [tell people] to commit the abomination of [animal or human sacrifice]! [False religion] leads Judea straying [off the cliffs of insanity].”
note: Today's worldlings pass their children to the War-God by signing the kids up for birth certificates, national ID numbers, bank accounts, driver's licenses, passports, welfare-programs, etc. And behind closed doors, world-masters rape children and drink the kids' blood.
JeremiYAH 48:35 YHVH decrees, “I finally put an end to anyone in Moab who immolates [flesh] in [occult] high-shrines, anyone who smokes-sacrifices to [appease] his gods.
note: YAH always condemns all animal sacrifice.
Hebrews 9:9 The [inability of the priests to pardon their own sins] symbolizes our situation today, 😇: the conscience of the person performing the service can't be cleansed and perfected by the gifts and sacrifices he offers.
note: You cannot purchase your salvation with your good deeds. But if you are saved, you do good deeds.
Numbers (Journeys) 23:1 [There on the mountain, sorcerer] Balaam {Loner} says to [king] Balak, “Build me here 7 altars. Then, on the [altars], tie me down 7 [live] oxen and 7 [live] rams.”
1st Samuel 13:9 So Saul says, “[If Samuel won't come, I'll make myself both High-Priest AND King!] Bring an [animal] ascension [gift over] here to me. [I'll sacrifice] peace offerings.” So, [for no good reason and without authority, Saul] burns up an animal [in a vain attempt to get YAH to bless his evil war].
note: Literally, “Saul sends up the ascension.” He could have been smoke-roasting food for an unathorized “sacred” feast.
2nd Kings 16:3 Rather, [Ahaz] walks in the way[s] of the [evil] kings of [north] Israel. Even worse, he makes his son ‘pass through the fire.’ [Ahaz] replicates the [War-God sacrifice] abominations of the beast-nations whom YHVH cast out from the faces of the [ancient] sons of Israel.
note: Unlike other similar passages, "fire" here is actually in the text. "Pass through the fire" may mean that Ahaz burned his son to appease the War-god, or that he put the boy through a fire-ritual to dedicate the child to serve the War-god, a function today hiding behind birth-certificates and birth-enumeration.
2nd Kings 17:31 Likewise, the Avvim {Over-throwers} build [cities & monuments honoring their gods] Nibhaz {Barker} and Tartak {Donkey}. And the Sepharvites burn [their] children in fire to [dedicate them to] Adrammelech {Glorious-King-God} and Anammelech {Quail-King}, the gods of Sepharvaim {Twin}!
2nd Kings 21:4 [Manasseh] even builds [animal-sacrifice] altars in the temple of YHVH. [Thus he spits in the face of] YHVH, who decreed, “In Jerusalem I establish my [exclusive] Name-authority.”
2nd Kings 21:5 In the two courts of YHVH's temple, [Manasseh] builds altars [to sacrifice animals] to the whole army of heavenly [star-demons].
note: A true religious pluralist, giving freedom of religion to all.
2nd Chronicles 34:25 Judea [constantly] forsakes me. They keep burning [bodies as] incense to [appease] retard-gods! They whip up my fury with every [dirty] work of their paws. That's why [I'll soon] pour out my fire-rage upon this place. Yet [still my fury] won't be extinguished!”
note: Sending your Judeo-Christian boys to die and/or kill in mercenary wars is the same sin as sacrificing humans to Satan, the War-God.
Psalms 44:22 All day long, [demonic murderers] kill us [Hebrews] because we [serve] you. They count us as they slaughter us like sheep. [They sacrifice us to their war-gods.]
Psalms 50:8 I will never justify you on the basis of your [wasteful] sacrifices and your [nasty] burnt offerings that have been continually [stinking] before My face.
note: justify = yakach = decide your verdict. Usually translated, "rebuke," however the context invalidates that translation. This verse is condemning animal sacrifice.
Psalms 50:23 [Stop] sacrificing [animals]. The [people] who glorify me are the people who slaughter [their pride by publicly] throwing hands [in the air to thank me]. Order [your] behavior correctly, 😇, then I, Elohim, will show [you] salvation.”
Psalms 106:38 [Some Israelites] shed innocent blood! They [spill] the red [life-wine] of their sons and daughters. The [rebels] sacrifice [everything] to [appease] the demon-idols of Canaan {Lowland}. So, 😇, the [promised] land [fills] with blood-pollution.
note: Human sacrifice = sending your boy to kill and die in rich peoples' wars.
JeremiYAH 11:13 You, Judea, [boast] as many [false] gods as you have towns. On every Jerusalem street you set up altars to the [god] of shame, altars to burn [bodies as] incense to [appease] Baal {Demon-Master}.
JeremiYAH 19:4 These [false Judeo-Christians] keep forsaking me. They turn this [holy] place into a non-Hebrew [country]. They smoke [sacrifices] to [appease] retard-gods [and dumb leaders] whom no [Hebrew] past nor present, nor any kings of Judea ever recognized. The [villains] fill this place with the blood of innocent [people].
Ezekiel 16:20 Plus, you seize your sons and your daughters, whom you bore to me. You sacrifice them to be devoured [in the war-god's battles]. This [murderous] prostitution [caps] your [litany of] whoredoms, [as if mere hooking were] a trifling [matter]!
note: By sending their boys (and now girls) to die in war, modern ‘Christians’ have sacrificed more children to the devil than have any previous generation. Blood-cult rituals are rare. Battle is by far the most popular form of blood-sacrifice.
Ezekiel 16:21 You [Judeo-Christians] slay my children! You surrender them [to the devil]! You make them pass through [war fire] for [demons]!
note: Birth registration, national I.D. numbering, driver's licensing all lead inevitably to the draft. All it takes is a big enough war, and millions of boys and girls will kill and be killed against their will. In 19th-century America, all birth registration was handled by churches. Until the 1950's, the U.S. had no national I.D. numbering, and no driver's licensing.
MicaYah 6:6 [You clueless people sit around asking,] “What should I bring to present when I come before YHVH, when I bow down before the most high Elohim? Should I ascend to YHVH by offering my burned up baby calf?
note: No.
Leviticus 10:18 —Look! You didn't even bring the goat's blood into the holy place. You were supposed to eat the goat's meat in the holy place, like I commanded, [not burn up the whole goat, you dunderheads]!”
Numbers (Journeys) 22:40 [There king] Balak {Annihilator} [pays butchers to] slaughter oxen and sheep. [Balak] sends [some of the meat] to Balaam {Ammon-Is-Lord}, and [some] to the princes [shadowing Balaam].
note: Even here, in this pagan ‘sacrifice’, The majority of the meat was eaten by the donor and the priests running the service. [Due to the lack of refrigeration, community church barbecues] were the normal, often exclusive, method of meat consumption in the ancient Middle East.—A paraphrased quotation from The Union Of American Hebrew Congregations
Numbers (Journeys) 23:15 [There Balaam] says to [king] Balak, “Stand here by your [disgusting] holocaust, while I meet YHVH far away.”
note: Another indication that YHVH has ZERO interest in burning up animals.
2nd Kings 10:20 So JAHu {JAH-Is-He} orders [his leaders], “Prepare for a holy feast to [honor] Baal!” [Royal trumpeters] shout [throughout the land of north Israel, “Come to Baal's feast!”]
2nd Kings 16:10 So [Judea's] king Ahaz {Possessor} [races his chariots northeast ~140km] to Damascus to meet Assyrian Emperor Tiglath-Pileser {Devotee-Of-Assur’s-Son}. There [Ahaz] sees a [gorgeous pagan animal-sacrifice] altar. So king Ahaz sends [high] priest UriYah {Flame-Of-Yah} a drawing of the altar. [Ahaz] copies the [altar's] design down to the minute details of all its workmanship.
2nd Kings 16:12 King [Ahaz rides his chariots home ~140km southwest to Jerusalem] from Damascus. He sees the [occult] altar. [He smiles.] He approaches it. [He rubs his hands on it.] Then [he] offers [murdered animals to demon-gods] on it, 😇!
2nd Kings 23:5 Then king [JosiYah] deposes the idolatrous priests [whom previous] kings of Judea had ordained to smoke [bodies as] incense in the high-shrines in the cities of Judea, and in the [occult-shrines] surrounding Jerusalem. [JosiYah fires] anyone who burns [bodies as] incense to [honor Demon-Master] Baal, or the sun, or the moon, or the planets, or any of the army of star-demons.
2nd Kings 23:12 And king [JosiYah] breaks down the [animal-sacrifice] altars which previous Judean kings made and installed on the roof of the upper chamber of [evil king] Ahaz {Possessor}. And [Josiah destroys] the [idolatrous] altars [which evil king] Manasseh had built in the two courts of YHVH's temple. [King JosiYah] beats these [altars] down into pieces. He casts their dust into the Kidron {Ash} brook.
2nd Chronicles 28:3 Plus [Ahaz] smokes [sacrifices] in [occult hotspot] Ben-Hinnom Valley. He [even] burns [his] children in the fire, copying the abominations of the [satanic] beast-nations whom YHVH long [ago] cast out before the sons of Israel.

Numbers (Journeys) 23:3 Then Balaam {Loner} says to [king] Balak, “Stand by your [nasty] holocaust. I'll go [away from the stink]. Perhaps YHVH will come to meet me [there]. Whatever [YAH] shows me, I'll tell you.” So [Balaam] limps up to a higher spot.
note: Limping because the donkey had crushed his foot.
Numbers (Journeys) 23:4 There Elohim [aggressively swoops down to] confront Balaam {Ammon-Is-Lord}. Balaam whines [in terror] to [Elohim], “I've prepared 7 altars! On every altar I've slaughtered a young bull and a ram, [in my attempt to please you].”
Numbers (Journeys) 23:6 So, 😇, [Balaam hikes] back [down] to [king] Balak. [Balaam] finds the [king proudly] posing in front of his [disgusting, stinking] holocaust [of burning animals], flanked by all the princes of Moab.
Numbers (Journeys) 23:17 So again, [Balaam hikes] back [down] to [king] Balak. [Balaam] finds [Balak proudly] posing in front of his [disgusting, stinking] holocaust [of burning animals,] flanked by all the princes of Moab. Balak asks [the prophet], “What did YHVH say?”
Numbers (Journeys) 23:28 So, 😇, Balak {Annihilator} carts Balaam [the Loner prophet] to [an occult human sacrifice shrine at] the top of [yawning Mount] Peor {Mouth}. They overlook the Jeshimon {Wasteland}.

note: Or “they slaughter [animals in a vain attempt to pacify] YHVH.”
1st Samuel 15:15 [King] Saul replies, “[My soldiers] retrieved these [animals] from the Amalekites [for you]. [My men] saved the best of the sheep and oxen to sacrifice to YHVH your Elohim. We utterly banished the rest of the [pagans'] animals.”
note: 2763 charam = seclude. When tyrants do wrong, they claim they did it to help you.
2nd Kings 14:4 Yet [AmaziYah fails to] rid [Judea] of its [occult] high-shrines. The people keep sacrificing [animals] and burning incense [to appease demon-gods] at the high-shrines.
2nd Kings 16:4 And [instead of respecting YAH's temple, king Ahaz] sacrifices [animals] and burns incense [to demon-gods] in [Judea's occult] high-shrines, and [on] hills, and under whatever green tree [he chooses], 😇!
2nd Kings 16:11 So UriYah {Flame-Of-Yah} (the priest) builds an [occult] altar matching every detail king Ahaz {Possessor} sent from Damascus. [UriYah] readies the [altar] for [animal sacrifices upon] king Ahaz' return [to Jerusalem].
2nd Kings 16:13 [King Ahaz] smokes his ascension-gifts and his food-donations. He pours his drink offerings. He sprinkles the blood from his thanksgiving [meat] on the altar.

2nd Chronicles 33:4 [Manasseh] builds [demonic animal-sacrifice] altars in the temple of YHVH, [in defiance of] YHVH's command, “My [sole] name-authority will [reign] in Jerusalem forever.”
2nd Chronicles 33:5 And [Manasseh] builds [witchcraft] altars in the two courts of YHVH's temple. [There Manasseh sacrifices bodies to] the [demonic] host of heaven, 😇!
2nd Chronicles 33:17 Still, [Israel's] people keep slaughtering [animals] at [occult] high-shrines. But they do it [meaning] to only [honor] YHVH their Elohim.
note: YAH never asked for animal sacrifice. But many people foolishly believed he wanted animal sacrifice. This delusion persists today. The confusion is perpetuated by horribly erroneous but tradition-enshrined bible translations.

Hosea 8:11 [Israel's leading tribe] Ephraim multiplies altars [in the misguided, vain, disgusting attempt to kill animals and offer their blood & ashes to bribe Me to forgive their] sin[s]. [Since I reject all such disgusting sacrifices,] these altars become dedicated to the sins [of offering blood sacrifices to pagan gods, blessing treaty-payments to pagan allies, and sanctifying temple-prostitution].
note: Paraphrase.
Hosea 9:4 [Pagan ‘believers’] don't [placate] YHVH [by] pouring out wine [offerings]. [😇, worldly ‘believers’] can't please YHVH. Their slaughter-sacrifices are destructive [lawless] vanity. Everyone who eats food [used in ritual sacrifices to buy favor from Me] is defiling & fouling themselves, [trading] their souls for polluted meat. [Animal-sacrificers] won't enter the family of YHVH {The-Eternal-Sovereign}.
note: OR: “As refugees in Egypt and Assyria, you won't have much chance to worship YHVH. Sentenced to rations of contaminated bread and water, your souls will rot, polluted by dirty air and dirty spirits. You'll be starved for YHVH, chewing gristle like beggars at a funeral meal, exiled from YHVH's own country.“ One commentator mentions that food eaten at funerals ritually defiles its eaters.
Hosea 14:2 😇, return to YHVH. Take [sincere] words with you. Say to [YAH,] “Take away all [our] perversion! Receive us graciously! Accept the prayer of our lips.

1st Corinthians 10:20 So I say that the [animals, money, taxes and time] which the beast-nations sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, not to Elohim. And I don't want you, 😇, to have fellowship with devils.

2nd Kings 16:14 Then [evil king Ahaz] removes the brass altar [of] YHVH's presence from the front of [Jerusalem's] temple (between the altar and the temple of YHVH). [Ahaz] stashes it on the north side of [his new pagan-styled] altar.
Wisdom of Solomon 12:4 You rejected [the pagans] for committing the most odious works of witchcraft, and wicked [animal and human] sacrifices.

Tobit 1:5 Now a bunch of [Israelite] tribes joined in revolt [against YHVH], including the house of my forefather Naphthali {Wrestler}. They've sacrificed [animals] to the heifer-god Baal {Demon-Master} [aka ‘The Lord’].
Epistle of JeremiYAH 1:29 Menstruating women and women [bloody from] birthing children eat [at the pagan feasts.] By the aforementioned signs, you know that the [idols and their priests] are not authorities. Never fear them.
Judith 16:16 For all [the] sacrifices [in the world] would never give you a delicious taste. All the smoking fat [on earth] could never rise to your [heights in heaven.] But he who fears Adonai is always [big and strong.]
