It has often been argued here that God, the Jewish/Christian God didn't condone child sacrifice as did the other tribal Gods of the ANC. It is often a topic of debate with regards to Abraham and Isaac, Christians arguing that God would never have allowed Abraham or anyone else to actually follow through with the act, and that Abraham himself actually knew this to be the case.
So, I am just wondering how you as Christians square that with Exodus 13:12-14. "You shall dedicate every son that opens the womb. Every firstborn son you must redeem." It is implied in Exodus 13 that should you not redeem your first born son, then like the first born of the animals, they shall belong to the Lord, and you shall break its neck.
