Liberal pastor says Jesus was an abortionist

Leviticus 18:21: "Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molech, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the Lord."

"Unlike the other heathen gods, Moloch had his place of worship outside the walls of Jerusalem. His idol stood in the innermost of seven chambers or cells, separated by grated doors (קנקליו, Low Greek κάγκελλοι).⁠2 The worshipper who offered a bird was admitted to the first or outer cell; he who offered a goat,⁠3 to the second; a p162 sheep, to the third; a calf, to the fourth; a young steer, to the fifth; a bull, to the sixth; and he who brought his son as an offering alone might enter into the seventh, the presence chamber of the deity. The idol itself had the head of a calf upon a human body; its arms were extended, with the hands open like those of a man who is about to receive something from another. The image was hollow — we must suppose of metal⁠4 — and was heated by a fire from within till the hands were glowing. The priests took the child from its father and laid it in the hands of Moloch, where it was burned to death; the priests meanwhile violently beating drums that the cries of the victim might not be heard by the father and move his heart."

There needs to be some oversight that decides who can call themselves a Christian church. I know one Anglican church that has a poster outside that invites rainbow and trans colored people. The blasphemy of these so called churches reek to the high heavens.

  God judges. We learn, watch, speak, but He will cleanse His house.

Abortionist? How can the human race be born again if they were never born?
