After reading Is God Really Like That?you will know the reason for the contradictionin the following two Bible texts:Ezekiel 20:2526 ...gave them statutes that were no goodand ordinances by which they could not have lifeand I defiled them through their very giftsin making them offer by fire all their first bornthat I might horrify them;I did it that they might know that I am the Lord.Jeremiah 32:35 [Israel & Judah] built high places of Baalin the valley of the son of Hinnomto offer up their sons and daughters to Molechthough I did not command themnor did it enter my mind that they should do this abomination.
