Jeremiah 19:5 "They have also built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I did not command or speak, nor did it come into My mind."
Heart always implies a compassionate or inner expression of ones thoughts or mind. When God says that the hearts of men are evil(llike in gen 6:5), it does not mean that if took a knife and cut there hearts out, then they would not be evil anymore. "Heart" implies mind.Dragan Glas said:In the Hebrew, it's actually "My heart" - the English translations use "My mind" as a figure-of-speech.
Yeah. People make retroactive statements all the time. I don't undestand your point. If my son died in a car crash 8 years ago and I sent you a PM today that said "I had know idea my son would die in a car accident" would you argue that I should have know this would happen because he's already died in one. 8 years ago? That makes no sense.Dragan Glas said:Such sacrifices were already expressly forbidden in Leviticus 20:2 - not to mention Jeremiah 7:31; Jeremiah 32:35, 2 Kings 23:10. The fact that such sacrifices were offered is indicated in Psalms 106:37-38.
