"ROME, November 6, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – A reconstruction of a pagan idol who demanded child sacrifice was stationed at the entrance of Rome’s Colosseum as part of a secular historical exhibition.

The statue of Moloch, worshipped by both the Canaanites and the Phoenicians, is part of an exhibit dedicated to Ancient Rome’s once-great rival, the city of Carthage. The large-scale exhibition, titled Carthago: The immortal myth, runs until March 29, 2020.

. .Three ancient Greek historians all attest that it was customary in Carthage to burn children alive as offerings to the deity, whom they called Baal and Cronus or Saturn, the Roman god who, according to myth, ate his own children lest they supplant him. Moloch is also mentioned several times in the Book of Leviticus. Hebrew parents are forbidden to sacrifice their children to the god.

Leviticus 18:21 "And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.

22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion."

There are ten other verses that reference this in the Bible. It can be found by inputting the search for "Pass through the fire."

That’s very intolerant and unappreciative of the “cultural enrichment” of the pagan gods and child sacrifices./sarcasm

We need to have hundreds of these made. There should be one outside every Planned Parenthood office.

Is this the statute they built a fire in and then set their live new born baby on the lap?

A very interesting idea.

I feel certain there exist sources for these images.

Perhaps one might research and share.

Yes. To basically be seared to death alive.

8 references in Old Testament as Molech, also ref Chemosh, Baal.
Term: pass through the fire.
God calls it: abomination.

““We need to have hundreds of these made. There should be one outside every Planned Parenthood office.””

In their day they were used for planed parenthood. Choosing which child to roast, excuse me, sacrifice to death was often chosen by how many kids you have vers how many kids you want.

The first Roman emperor with a Carthaginian background kept busy by kicking Parthian butts and not quite finishing up there, then ushering in the misrule of his own son, followed by the worst emperor in Roman history, and then the the Crisis of the Third Century.

This statue appears to be a copy of an early motion picture prop now in the Italian National Museum of the Cinema in Turin:
