Not true. "You shall not commit murder" is repeated in the NT, in some cases with Jesus literally quoting the OT. Last I checked, child sacrifice is definitely murder, and God specifically condemns child sacrifice in the OT too. It doesn't matter if it wasn't said again in the NT, because the OT and the NT go together. Secondly, pedophiles molesting children definitely falls under "sexual immorality", which is condemned numerous times in the NT.
Nobody with any amount of honesty could read all of the various condemnations of murder and sexual immorality in both the OT and NT, and then basically go tell other people that pedophilia and child sacrifice are totally fine according to the Bible. Also, just because something was only spelled out explicitly in the OT, does not mean it doesn't apply in the NT. You would know that if you understood how the OT and NT work together. You think you do, but you don't. But seriously, get real. Just the simple commandment "You shall love your neighbor as yourself" alone makes it plain that molesting and sacrificing children is wrong. Is it loving to molest and sacrifice the neighbor kid next door? I mean hello, obviously not.
Leviticus 18:6 'None of you shall approach any blood relative of his to uncover nakedness; I am the Lord .
Leviticus 18:10 (You shall not uncover) 'The nakedness of your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, their nakedness you shall not uncover; for their nakedness is yours.
Leviticus 18:21 'You shall not give any of your offspring to offer them to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God; I am the Lord.
Leviticus 20:2-5 'Any man from the sons of Israel or from the aliens sojourning in Israel who gives any of his offspring to Molech, shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones. 3 'I will also set My face against that man and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given some of his offspring to Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary and to profane My holy name. 4 'If the people of the land, however, should ever disregard that man when he gives any of his offspring to Molech, so as not to put him to death, 5 then I Myself will set My face against that man and against his family, and I will cut off from among their people both him and all those who play the harlot after him, by playing the harlot after Molech.
2 Kings 21:6 And he burned his son as an offering and used fortune-telling and omens and dealt with mediums and with necromancers. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger.
Jeremiah 32:35 They built the high places of Baal in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, though I did not command them, nor did it enter into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
So, God forbids incest of blood relatives (duh, children can be your blood relatives), and you're telling me it's reasonable to think God is okay with molesting non-blood relative children? God forbids child sacrifice numerous times, and you're telling me you think it's suddenly allowed in the NT?
"Sexual Immorality" has been very open to interpretation the past two thousand years. When did I say that God is okay with anything or even needs to be a reference point here? I'm saying that the Bible will not help us because it only teaches what is wrong, not how to rectify the wrong. Now, specifically, in the Bible, where does it tell the nation how to smoke the pedophiles out of their holes and what to do with them? It's not there. I'm not saying that the Bible doesn't "condemn" or "condone" (that's all it does, in my opinion) I'm saying that it doesn't teach us the signs of what is being done in secrecy and how to stop it.
