“Archaeologists in Peru have unearthed what is believed to be the largest single mass child sacrifice in history. The bodies of 227 victims, aged between five and 14, were found near the coastal town of Huanchaco, north of Peru's capital Lima. The children were believed to have been sacrificed over 500 years ago.
"The discovery comes barely a year after 200 child victims of human sacrifice were found at two other sites in the country. Archaeologists told AFP news agency that some of the bodies in this latest collection still had hair and skin when they were dug up.
"The children show signs of being killed during wet weather, and were buried facing the sea, meaning they were probably sacrificed to appease the Chimú's gods.” (See https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-49495167)
Child sacrifice was also practiced among the ancient Incas. And the ancient North African city-state of Carthage is said to have sacrificed 500 children on one occasion.
It was also practiced by apostate Israelites, becoming entrenched among the Israelites in general after the rule of the Judean kings, Ahaz and Manasseh, who gave impetus to child sacrifice when they sacrificed their own children.
Today, human sacrifice of babies yet in their mothers’ wombs occurs. “U.S. Abortions [( through surgical and medical methods)] in 2017: ~862,320 (Guttmacher Institute)….
“[It] is important not to overlook the number of children killed by chemical abortions . . . [P]harmacy experts project that about 14 million chemical abortions occur in the United States each year, providing a projected total of well in excess of 610 million chemical abortions between 1965 and 2009.”
Induced abortion where “the sole purpose . . . is to avoid the birth of an unwanted child is an act of high crime in the sight of God.” (See Insight on the Scriptures, [Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York: 1988] vol. 1, p. 29.) Those who commit it and those who defend it are bloodguilty in God’s sight. Those who are unrepentant of their bloodguilt make themselves liable to God’s wrath.
The Bible in Romans 1:28-32 gives this warning against those who are emboldened to practice/defend ungodliness: “Just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a disapproved mental state, to do the things not fitting. And they were filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, and badness, being full of envy, MURDER [emphasis mine], strife, deceit, and malice, being whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, schemers of what is harmful, disobedient to parents, without understanding, false to agreements, HAVING NO NATURAL AFFECTION, AND MERCILESS. Although these know full well the righteous decree of God—that those who practice such things are deserving of death — they not only keep on doing them but also approve of those practicing them.”
True Christians are no part of the world. We stay away from politics that in one way or another involves a politicians’ supporters — no matter the “party” to which they adhere — in violations of God’s laws and principles.
