How many times have you heard this? Well, let us see what the Bible has to say about it.
Exod. 22: 29-30, "29 You shall not delay the offering from your harvest and your vintage. The first-born of your sons you shall give to Me. 30 You shall do the same with your oxen and with your sheep. It shall be with its mother seven days; on the eighth day you shall give it to Me." (God equates children with oxen as well)
(Deut 15:19) All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt SANCTIFY unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep. (One of the original meanings of Sanctify was a "sacrifice of blood"....God equates children with bulls and sheep)
(2 Kings 2:23-25) Then he (Elisha) went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!” When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number. And he went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria. (So God has children mauled by two bears for making fun of Elisha's bald head!)
These are just a few....look it up for yourself.
