Moloch (representing Semitic מלך m-l-, a Semitic root meaning "king") – also rendered as Molech, Molekh, Molok, Molek, Molock, Moloc, Melech, Milcom or Molcom – is the name of an ancient Ammonite god.[1] Moloch worship was practiced by the Canaanites, Phoenician and related cultures in North Africa and the Levant.
As a god worshipped by the Phoenicians and Canaanites, Moloch had associations with a particular kind of propitiatory child sacrifice by parents. Moloch figures in the Book of Deuteronomy and in the Book of Leviticus as a form of idolatry (Leviticus 18:21: "And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Moloch").
Though the Moloch sacrifices have traditionally been understood to mean burning children alive to the god Moloch, some have suggested a rite of purification by fire instead, though perhaps a dangerous one

I came in this thread looking to prove nothing. All of your assertions are false.
You have provided no supporting evidence that refutes anything that I have said. You are merely arguing your opinion.

What is there to prove? You want proof of Satan, but without a sincere belief in Christ (who did in fact come to destroy Satan's works) you will not be able to find it.
If you see it, you will write it off.
If you a demon manifests in front of you, you can blame it on an endless number of things other than what you really saw.
In my eyes, you are an example of why intelligence is not always a blessing.
You say people are "always" responsible for their actions. I know that demons influence people, as well as an endless number of other somewhat uncontrollable factors. That means we will likely not find a middle ground. I do believe people are accountable for every time they fall, but how accountable is where I think we differ.

You are full of it. You have been called out by Afterinfinity, Veritas and myself for taking our words completely out of context in an attempt to support your agenda. Going so far as to faslely label Veritas as a Mason to substantiate your absurd demon-worship claims.
They suggested that such descriptions of Moloch might be simply taken from accounts of the sacrifice to Cronus and from the tale of the Minotaur; They found no evidence of a bull-headed Phoenician god.

That particular piece was intended for Narrow, due to the accusations of child sacrifice.

If that means calling you out on your bull then label it what you want.

The title of your thread...

...most certainly implies that you do.

Saying you did not believe Masons worshipped demons until you read something (which a non-Mason wrote) implies that you changed you mind and believe Masons worship demons and the 'proof' you use was out of context. Not exactly in keeping with your previous post in this thread in which you proclaimed you do not like to post other members commnents out of context.
So yeah, I did.
