Why Can't I Drink Blood?

[HARK!]

The English have a disgusting sausage-like blood based food. I suppose if people are starving.....I couldn't eat it even as a child in the UK.

That got me to thinking...

(CLV) 2Ki 6:29
So we cooked my son and ate him. Then I said to her on the next day, Give up your son, and we shall eat him. But she hid her son.

Since all food is now clean; we're wasting valuable resources at the graveyard.

Where Aids originated from?

Yeah, but there is no evidence to suggest that blood drinking was the source. It could have been (like Corona) from eating "bush" meat like monkeys. I don't know that anyone knows for sure. Research says that chimps carry an AIDS like virus.

Yahshua said:

(CLV) Mk 7:15
Nothing is there outside of a man, going into him, which can contaminate him, but those things going out of a man are what is contaminating the man.

(CLV) Mk 7:17
And when He entered into the house from the throng, His disciples inquired of Him concerning the parable.

(CLV) Mk 7:18
And He is saying to them, "Are you, also, thus unintelligent? Not yet are you apprehending that everything from the outside, that is going into a man, can not contaminate him,

(CLV) Mk 7:19
for it is not going into his heart, but into the bowels, and is going out into the latrine cleansing all foods?"


But then Ya'akov (James) says:

(CLV) Ac 15:20
but to write an epistle to them to be abstaining from ceremonial pollution with idols, and prostitution, and what is strangled, and blood.

It was a command from God even before the law.

Before the flood, all animals and humans were vegetarians. But after the flood that changed.

Genesis 9:
3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs. 4 But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. 5 Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning; from the hand of every beast I will require it, and from the hand of man. From the hand of every man’s brother I will require the life of man.

 

[HARK!]

Cause God said so.

Nothing that enters a man can make him unclean.

So what's wrong with drinking blood, and eating dead children?

I believe you are kidding.

That sounds awfully legalistic. Isn't that the old covenant?

That sounds awfully legalistic. If that were the case; why is it OK to celebrate Christmas, Ishtar, SUNday worship, etc.?

I believe James was speaking to the Gentiles that had turned to God in Antioch... I think. Not wanting to put too much of a "Jewish" burden on them, but saying "at least don't worship the pagan gods." I don't think it is really a blanket rule we must follow now. So go ahead and celebrate!

No it is not the old covenant. God has eternal laws that are before time.

Sorry, those are still valid because we are in the same new covenant they were in.

I almost gave you a medal....

Leviticus 17:14 KJV — For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.

Leviticus 7:27 KJV — Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

 

[HARK!]

No it is not the old covenant. God has eternal laws that are before time.

How do we know which ones are which? Do we get to pick and choose our favorites?

That sounds awfully legalistic. Isn't that from the Torah?

At least we half agree, that's a start!

You can't drink blood because human beings can't digest blood --- it can actually kill you.

This.

Psalms 119:1-8
[1]ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.
[2]Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
[3]They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
[4]Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
[5]O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
[6]Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
[7]I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
[8]I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.

So what's wrong with drinking blood, and eating dead children?

I was answering your question...

The question was, "What's wrong with drinking blood?"

My answer implied, that drinking blood is wrong because God said it was.

I thought the rest of my post made that clear.

But clearly, I was wrong, lol.

It's wrong to drink, blood, brother, because God says it's wrong.

The rest of my post expands on what the Lord said.

Hmmm...Here we have the last book of the new testament, telling us to keep YHWH's law.


Hmmmm.... maybe I had it all wrong. Maybe YHWH and Yahshua don't consider blood to be food, along with what YHWH commanded in Leviticus 11.

I guess context really is key!

Thanks for the info.
