for info purpose, animals slaughtered , ie cow, sheep, pigs, etc
by uk law, the animal must be stunned before being killed,in simple terms, they burst the blood bag around the throat area.
What blood bag?

then, are drained of all the blood that is in that said animal. then are butchered.

so in simple terms the animal blood is taken out first. when slaughtered.

sorry, but that is how meat is clean to eat. when you go to the shops etc

Leviticus 17:10-14Revised Standard Version (RSV)

Eating Blood Prohibited

[SUP]10 [/SUP]“If any man of the house of Israel or of the strangers that sojourn among them eats any blood, I will set my face against that person who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people. [SUP]11 [/SUP]For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it for you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement, by reason of the life. [SUP]12 [/SUP]Therefore I have said to the people of Israel, No person among you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger who sojourns among you eat blood. [SUP]13 [/SUP]Any man also of the people of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, who takes in hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten shall pour out its blood and cover it with dust.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]“For the life of every creature is the blood of it;[SUP][a][/SUP] therefore I have said to the people of Israel, You shall not eat the blood of any creature, for the life of every creature is its blood; whoever eats it shall be cut off.

No blood.
God said no.
He never changed it.
It's not healthy.
It's disgusting.

Make that 3 rather than 40.

LOL! Your kidding me?

Thanks for letting me know about this, you are always good at doing that.

Okay, so what could that time difference possibly mean though?

Anything at all?

Like was it important either way because I didnt understand so much the importance of you bringing it up from the start. What was it that was going through your mind when you had brought it up?

I just never asked you.

Funny I should see this post, the Holy Spirit recently brought me to become vegetarian and I've been arguing in my mind that meat is Ok though by the Bible.... so I think (not knowing alot of scripture). But apparently it is not OK for me and vegetables ARE my meat, so anyway I'm a new vegetarian and I'm really loving it :) Just sharing :)

OK, now we can actually apply Rom 14 in context...

Rom 14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
Rom 14:2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
Rom 14:3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
Rom 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

It is OK to eat meat but if it hurts your conscience to eat meat, don't. It is perfectly acceptable to be a vegetarian...

Rom 14:21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
Rom 14:22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
Rom 14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Wasnt Cain the first vegetarian? Or no?;)

I dont know if its good for you though because Hitler was a known vegetarian and his head wasnt screwed on right.

I mean, maybe thats why meat and vegetables were more necessary after the flood?

Gen 9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

Given we know He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and they were meat eaters right?

Even as Isaac says,

Gen 27:7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.

He is the God of the meat eaters

I was thinking of the relation of Ac 15 to 1Co, where Paul is so clear that
eating meat sacrificed to idols is not forbidden in the NT, which could mean,
among other things, that it was not properly drained of its blood.

i not getting in to this, however, if you look up the difference, in the internet. find out for your selfs.
halal, denoting or relating to meat, prepared as prescribed to muslim law.
kosher,satisfying the requirements of jewish law with regards to preparation of food.

I have asked several times if someone would please explain koshering, the spiritual significance and the actual process itself. But nobody is answering me. .....
(i didn't see the question before) (been working a lot too)

So again I will ask (since Jeff won't respond to me... perhaps he has me on ignore??), is this all leading to koshering? And if so, why and how? My inquiring mind really wants to know.
no, my intention was not leading to koshering. ('kosher' might be healthy and good though, as those who eat kosher have exceptionally better health physically than those who don't --- whether that's because of their faith or other I don't know though.(some people VERY KOSHER ((PERHAPS))are VERY PHYSICALLY SICK) )


my intention is as it is written in Torah/ Scripture/ Yahshua verified/ Apostles verified .........>>
"the life is in the blood" and what is written or who will listen to God's Word.....

Abba's Shalom, VioletReigns, I have not seen any reason to ignore you.... I'm just getting older, and distracted,
and haven't / can't spend too much time on this forum (too much uncontrolled worldly, carnal, and other errors here without resolution or any means of resolution either.).

for instance, (see how many ungodly posts showed up on just this one thread? )


and, yahweh showed them how to prepare an animal so that all the blood drained out .....

this is still important today (for health and other reasons) , but neglected most places,
.........

I think you're just in agreement on this (I am even stronger than brought up so far, as "It Is Written" )...

Okay gotcha, thanks Elin.

What I had thought also is that these were even two different things, like meat (no matter how it was prepared) as a meat sacrificed unto idols (which are nothing at all) although we know that is not offered to God (and so to devils) in this thing. And then that which is strangled (or that which specifically dies in that manner) with its own blood still in it, and from blood (at all) given Genesis

l what I was thinking when I posted

1 Sam 14:32 And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood.

Then I thought it meant violence in some way (meaning bloodshed) maybe

is there a point with that statement. this 2015.

what religion calls it believer, dose not stop them being gentiles.


and gentiles would mean ,the rest of the world(everyone that is not jewish) not just greeks.

28 And he said to them, "You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or to visit anyone of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any person common or unclean.Acts 10

Is that right ?
the torah and a new covenant, are two different things, the biggest difference, would be believing in a god, though jesus christ.

so would the new changes, that were made, and these new changes ,are still in place. (today)
if you want to ignore them. that up to you.

each person's faith can only save themselves -- no one can save their own sons according to TORAH, Scripture, Yahweh and Yahshua and the apostles and the prophets.

"A hebraic definition of Torah is "a set of Instructions, from a father to his children, violation of these instructions are disciplined in order to foster obedience and train his children". Notice how the word "Torah" is translated in the New International Version translation in the following passages.

"Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching [Torah]." (Proverbs 1:8)
"My son, do not forget my teaching [Torah], but keep my commands in your heart". (Proverbs 3:1)
The purpose of a parent's Torah is to teach and bring the children to maturity. If the Torah is violated out of disrespect or defiant disobedience, the child is punished. If the child desires to follow the instructions out of a loving obedience but falls short of the expectations, the child is commended for the effort and counseled on how to perform the instructions better the next time. Unlike Torah, law is a set of rules from a government and binding on a community. Violation of the rules require punishment. With this type of law, there is no room for teaching, either the law was broken with the penalty of punishment or it was not broken. God, as our heavenly Father, gives his children his Torah in the same manner;
"Blessed is the man you discipline, O LORD, the man you teach from your Torah" (Psalms 94:12)

"
from
http://www . therefinersfire.org/torah_and_righteousness.htm

then as for God speaking to all, and to individuals >>

"For (righteous by faith and in Yahweh's Declaration) Jews, acknowledgement of God is more than an internal belief or proclamation of faith; it is a commitment to act in ways that demonstrate respect for God and the world God created."

Is there a point to Muslim law in a discussion of NT Scripture?

we are the new testament of 2015.
gentiles and muslims are different then. are you saying a muslim is not a gentile.

eating meat sacrificed to idols is not forbidden in the NT, which could mean,

kosher meat, ie being among jewish people.

any ware that sell halal meat is ok then. is that what your trying to avoid, other knowing the difference.
