However injesting / eating / drinking is not the same as blood transfusion. First of all the path is totally different one through the veins the other through the digestive system..... Factually and scientifically different. The prohibition was against eating blood.
"Aided by God’s spirit, the apostles and older men concluded that obligatory circumcision ended with the Law. Still, certain divine requirements remained for Christians. In a letter to the congregations, the governing body wrote: “The holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to you, except these necessary things, to keep abstain ...[text shortened]... king it in for “medical” reasons. They maintained that stand even if it put their life at risk."

Are you not willing to answer my question about if your starving child was going to die today within the hour unless they drank blood? What would you do knowing God's command?
Originally posted by galveston75No your absolutely wrong .....how is eating blood life preserving ? Now transfusion I can see how that could potentially be life preserving.....but your wrong and case in point if ones gets in a horrible automobile accident and happens to lose a lot of blood the doctors are not going to feed / make the one ingest the blood because it would not do any good that way they would give the one a transfusion intravenously meaning through the veins not through the mouth and stomach

Originally posted by galveston75I would absolutely give the child the blood to drink if it meant it would save the child's life but this is silly and is a hypothetical situation that has no bearing in reality and I thankfully will never have to give a child blood to drink to save their life ......Jesus said is it ever lawful to do evil ? letting a child die when I have the remedy in my hand ? Just the same when David and his men where hungry and they ate the holy consecrated bread which technically speaking was not lawful for them to eat but they ate it !! The point being the laws were made for man and not man for the laws ....God deems ones life more important than a piece of bread !!! Jesus said 5 Sparrows are sold for a penny yet if one falls He knows and is aware

Could someone tell dive dude I don't care what he thinks about anything???

The same command was given about blood was it not?
And yet your religious organisation saw fit to quote them in one of its publications.
Do you think such outrageous beliefs as Dr Valério's are helpful or unhelpful to you now as you struggle to argue your organisation's corner?
Originally posted by menace71Ok That's all I needed to know. You make the decision who lives as apposed to God's law that says not to partake of blood even as food?

I no longer want to be in any conversation with him at all as the Bible says to completely disassociate any comminication with an anti christ person ....
