Why did God require child sacrifice?

This insight has unlocked Bible study for me...

That often, God teaches through CONTRAST

That is to say... that the main point is often the OPPOSITE of what the narrative suggests

Here's a great example

Think of the parable of the "unrighteous judge" (Luke 18)

Story is told of an unrighteous judge who doesn't care for about God or what people think...

A woman is wronged and pleads for help

The judge IGNORES her.

But... this widow is PERSISTENT

Some think that this was meant to reflect God...

and I guess it was... through CONTRAST

Here's how Jesus summarizes that story:

"Will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
