The bible speaks to me of sacrifice. Which of my children should I use? Is there a protocol?!
Question: The bible speaks to me of sacrifice. Which of my children should I use.? Is there a protocol.?
Answers:
It depends on the returns you are expecting.
A good rule of thumb in today's harsh sacrificial economic climate is to start with the least valuable child to sound things out, so to speak.
If you are not realizing the returns you expected, work your way up to the most treasured children, where the measure of value is usually their perceived ability to support you in old age.

The Bible condemns sacrificing your children (Leviticus 18:21). Even Abraham did not sacrifice his son to God. He only had to prove that he was willing to do so because he believed enough in God to know that God could and would raise his son from the dead in order to keep his promise to bless the whole world through the Descendant of Abraham (Hebrews 11:17-20).Health Question & Answer
Yes, there is a protocol.
