Quote Also an alternative that can apply in most planned surgeries, is to have the individual donate a portion of his/her own blood to be retransfused during surgery, just in case.There are many many alternatives Cubes. And they are far safer. It mostly depends on the skill of the physician, and his knowledge. The amount of blood lost in…[Read more]

Quote Do you eat KOSHER david?Is there any need to even ask? Look at my posts. Look at any single post in this thread.

LEVITICUS 17:11-13“For the soul of the flesh is in the blood, and I myself have put it upon the altar for YOU to make atonement for YOUR souls, because it is the blood that makes atonement by the soul . That is why I have said to the sons of Israel: “No soul of YOU must eat blood and no alien resident who is residing as an alien in YOUR midst sho…[Read more]

Nick, you're a physician. What do you know about blood?

Quote But does this mean 'black pudding'? Gross.Thanks for fixing it t8.Quote it is impossible to remove all the blood from meat as it permeates the tissue.I realize this Nick. Similarly, God wants us to not sin. Yet, we do. But we must try the best we can.Quote Was the instruction in Acts 15.29 given to satify the abstemious jewish converts? N…[Read more]

Quote The original question was about pork and not blood. You will have a well planned presentation about blood but can you address the relationship between the decision to not take blood but accept pork in the diet? Yes, I did above.Quote It was a command given before even the law. It predates the law.So whether the law was done away with or…[Read more]

Ya, I think I remember you saying that Cubes.Back in the days of Noah, an ancestor of all mankind, God laid down a remarkable law. While granting hmans the right to eat the flesh of animals, he forbade them to consume the blood.davidGENESIS 9:4“Only flesh with its soul—its blood—YOU must not eat.”He also gave them his reason, equating blood w…[Read more]

t8, somehow, the topic title got messed up.I wanted it to say:BLOODAre Christians to abstain from blood?Any way you could change that?Somehow, a part of Nick's quote got put in there.david

Quote Hi david,Most modern scholars do not believe Jesus is the Son of God. And most modern scholars also believe that the earth isn't flat.They're not always wrong, and not always right, either.But what my quote showed was that it is definitely not agreed or clear that Enoch is what you believe it is.T8 quoted from wickipedia. I wanted to see…[Read more]

Actually, if this is where you were going with that “pork” question, why don't you re-raise it in a JW thread. That would be better.

What does the Bible say Nick?

Quote The tetragrammaton is not pronounceable. Are you saying the jews didn't pronounce God's name?Or are you saying that it is not pronounceable?And why are you saying this? On what is it based?

Interesting. I've never thought of that before, that there would have been an accusation.JOHN 17:6““I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me out of the world.Would Jesus have succumb to human tradition based on wrong misplaced superstitious fears? Or would he have told everyone the truth?Would not he have felt the same love for his…[Read more]

What?Quote Are JWs forbidden to eat pork? I don't know Nick. Does the God's Word forbid his servants today from eating pork?

ok, fine, I'll do the research. Give me a minute.david.

Also taken from wikipedia.org, under “book of enoch””Most modern scholars consider the Enochic literature to be pseudepigraphal.”

Hi H.Nope, I haven't heard of Gail.If you cannot answer any of my questions just say so.You are attempting to use false reasoning, to shift things away from you.YOU claim that the KJV is infallible. Yet, you didn't really reply to anything I said. If you can't. Fine. It is usually the sad defence of a person in weakness to punch and kick and…[Read more]

“Look! Jehovah came with his holy myriads, to execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly concerning all their ungodly deeds that they did in an ungodly way, and concerning all the shocking things that ungodly sinners spoke against him.” (Jude 14, 15) Many scholars contend that Enoch’s prophecy against his ungodly conte…[Read more]

What of those that speak french? German? Chinese? Is there KJ's in those languages?

Quote The more you read a book, the more you understand it, right? The first time you ride a bike is difficult, but the more you ride it, the easier it becomes. Common sense.And in let's say a thousand years when the English language has transformed so much that we (expect for scholars in Old English) have no idea what the KJV says–what then?
