1 Timothy 4:1-5 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hyprocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
Pray and bless your food before you eat . . . . .
1Ti 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
and eat that which is set apart by the Word of God. (Lev 11 and Deut 14)
Does anyone want the truth about blood and uncooked meat?
It contains WORMS.
BABY WORMS.
Like TAPEWORMS.
Now, I love meat. I like my steak medium rare with plenty of blood and spiced up, fatty juices. However this is a choice I made fully knowing the consequences. I believe that God set some of those food laws into effect because of the health problems!
[h=2]How we can Catch Tapeworm Parasites[/h]Tapeworm parasites are often carried to humans through undercooked and contaminated meat - mainly beef, pork and fish – or through eating contaminated soil or water. Fish, pigs and cattle can often drink water that is contaminated with tapeworm eggs and if we eat the flesh of a contaminated animal, then we can get tapeworms.
Tapeworms have a complex life cycle, their eggs turn into cysts when they are consumed by an intermediate host such as cows, pigs or fish. A cyst is the tough, protective capsule enclosing the larva of a parasitic worm. These cysts remain dormant in the intermediate host until they are consumed by a human when they will then become adults.
If we eat raw or incompletely cooked meat containing these cysts, the larvae become active within the human host. Once inside the intestine of the new host, they latch onto the intestinal wall and grow into adult worms.
Fruit and vegetables we eat can be grown or have contaminated soil near them from animal feces. This is why it is so important to thoroughly wash all fruit and vegetables before eating them. It is also possible that tapeworms embed their eggs in human host organs such as the liver, lungs, heart, and also the brain.
Parasites have extraordinary survival skills and can live within their hosts up to several years. There have even been recorded cases of tapeworms well over 20 years old, living inside people.

How come you only picked that out?
v4 - For every creature of God is good and nothing to be refused IF if is received with thanksgiving:
For it is sanctified by the word of God - then you went to the OT dietary laws which do not concern us - and left out prayer - which goes along with v4 if it is received with thanksgiving.
So God's word says - every creature of God is good and nothing to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving - prayer.

Judging by your previous post, it sounds like you're trying to make everyone else around you a vegan too.

Eating "meat with the blood" is taking ill pleasure in someone else's cry for help.
Like when one kid holds another one down and says "say uncle!" and all the other kids stand around and laugh.
In mosaic law context, it refers to that kind of sinful heart, but in Jesus's use of it, He is assigning it to a different perception of a cry for help, one that is in compassion for others rather than iniquity towards them.
Eating Jesus's flesh and drinking Jesus's blood, as he put it, is to experience going through personal tribulation for His name's sake or "cause".
Likened to wine as if even to say "be intoxicated" with it.
This was considered foul language to the pharisees, because of their abhorrence to physical blood, the idea of consuming human flesh and blood on top of that. Even if they knew it was a metaphor, it would have still sounded like dropping the f-bomb in church.
Jesus used "foul language", by that societies definition, when He said "eat my flesh and drink my blood", yet it was not a sinful use of "foul language", because any spoken word carries it's intent for value, not the value that unconsenting observers assign to it.

1Ti 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with (1)thanksgiving;
1Ti 4:5 (2)for it is sanctified by the word of God and (3)prayer.
Because all of the conditions must be true, not just one or two of them.
(1) We must be thankful for what God gives us.
(2) It must be set apart by the Word of God as food.
(3) We must ask God's blessing on it.
So God's word says - every creature of God is good and nothing to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving - prayer.
I emphasized the first half of verse 5 because you have left it out of both posts. Your summary statement left it out again.
It is clear that true Christians are required to show respect for the sanctity of blood, because it represents life. (Leviticus 17:11) The law on blood applies to any kind of blood, animal or human. A Christian is under obligation not to eat anything “strangled,” because it has not been bled. The principle on this matter is stated at Leviticus 17:13: “As for any man…who in hunting catches a wild beast or a fowl that may be eaten, he must in that case pour its blood out and cover it with dust.” For the same reason an animal that is found dead as a result of being caught in a trap or being torn by another animal would not be fit for food for a Christian, since it had not been bled at the time of death. Likewise, when one buys meat, either in a market or from a hunter, the Christian should be satisfied that the animal was properly bled so that he does not risk a violation of this law of God. While in most lands licensed slaughterhouses and butchers do bleed meat and so it is generally safe to eat, this is not always so and especially when we are buying from an individual hunter. Also, the Christian would not eat sauces in which blood has been mixed. Of course, a little blood remains in the meat itself even though an animal has been bled; this cannot be avoided. It is the blood that is flowing through the veins that must be drained off in order to meet the requirements of God’s law.
Simply the fact that meat appears to be very red or even has red fluid on the surface does not mean that it has not been bled. There may remain in the meat some very small amounts of blood even after proper bleeding has been done. Then, too, the fluid that runs out of the meat may simply be interconnection fluids. The important thing is that respect has been shown for the sanctity of blood, regard has been shown for the principle of the sacredness of life. What God’s law requires is that the blood be drained from the animal when it is killed, not that the meat be soaked in some special preparation to draw out every trace of it.

I actually have a verse of Scripture wrapped around my finger that has Leviticus 17:12 on it.
Leviticus 17:12 Therefore I say to the Israelites, “None of you may eat blood, nor may any foreigner residing among you eat blood.”
But if that goes for liquid blood it also would go for solid blood. So if you can't eat steak rare because of blood you couldn't eat it cooked because of blood either. There's a form of blood here in China you can eat that comes in solidified squares. And Chinese people generally think nothing of it. They'll order it at restaurants, because they believe it helps their own blood.
But as for steak cooked rare, the reddish pink in the meat I've heard is not hemoglobin (i.e. blood) but myoglobin. So it's not the same.

Lol!
Somehow I doubt eating lightly cooked myoglobin gives you cancer. hahahaha
