Come Down, Zacchaeus Quotes

“The historian Diodorus tells us the mother of the young victim took a prominent part in the ritual of immolation, standing by the priest as he slit the child’s throat and then proceeded to consign the body to the furnace within the idol itself. Today this sort of infanticide before false gods goes under the name of Contraception or Medical Abortion—not Moloch—and the rite is no longer performed in public. God’s injunction to His chosen wife has not changed, however, for all her children still belong to Him, their rightful Father.”
