2 Kings 16:3
He followed the ways of the kings of Israel and even sacrificed his son in the fire, engaging in the detestable practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.

The kings/government aren't always right, but they are still upon the shoulders of Christ. The Spirit leads us to knowing what is right and what is wrong, when we seek His guidance.

Lloyd S. from Trenton, ON said:
As is told, Ahaz did not follow the ways of the Lord but I cannot imagine a father being so demented as to sacrifice his son in the fire. He was most likely, according to Biblical notes, referencing the sacrifice of children in the worship of Molech in notes of 1Kings 11:5-7, but how he could sacrifice his son in the fire is unimaginable. Sure wouldn't want to be in his shoes when he faced the judgment of God.

Peter B. from Buchanan, MI said:
This verse appears to me that king Ahaz of Israel was the first king and the worst king of Israel who adopted Moloch worship of the Ammonites and Moabities and made his son probably his first born pass through the fire. Child sacrifices is something that God hates passionately.
Deuteronomy 13:31 You must not worship the Lord God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the Lord hates. "They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.

Ahaz followed the ways of the world/nations. We as Christians are to follow Christ and not things of this world. Worldliness is not Godliness

I can't wrap my head around this how could he burn his son to death. It's amazing that they fell that far from David's example. Society driven religion can justify a lot of sin and it is easy to live in the worlds religion and practices. God give me the strength not to accept even the little things that are not of your will.

Lloyd S. from Trenton, ON said:
God never asked anyone to offer their son in fire, except for Abraham to test him and then he did not have to follow through with it because God already had an alternate plan. I just cannot get it through my head how a man could offer his son in the fire to worship, obviously just as a religious ritual. He will obviously due to his wicked ways be eternally condemned to the fires of hell. Just my thoughts.
