Who do you obey? It's either Jehovah God or satan. There is NO middle ground with this and no middle ground on blood and God's commands.

I think Satan probably gets some joy in watching humans suffer .....If one has the power to do good but does nothing that is of Satan

I was reading some scientific stuff on eating or ingesting blood and it is technically toxic if consumed in large amounts as because of the high iron content ...however the distinction is made between placing blood where it should be in the veins and ingesting where it should not be ....animals that do eat raw meet with blood have intestinal tracks which allow for the extracting of the iron where as humans don't have that ability at that kinda of level.

But yet you said you would feed it to your child if they were starving?

So going back to Abraham. Most view him as a person to honor and faithfulness because of his faithfulness to his God Jehovah even to the point of obeying God to kill his son.
So he is honered for that but what if Jehovah had not stopped him? What would your view of Abraham be now?

That's not what I said .....well ok technically I did say that as you posed a hypothetical question about a child was going to die within the hour if not given some blood to eat or drink ......So I said yes I would give that child the blood to eat if it was going to save their life .....however hypothetical and silly your question is as this will never happen and is not grounded in reality ....lastly a small amount of ingested blood will not kill you it's if it were consumed in large amounts ( which sounds disgusting )

There was no way God was going to allow Abraham to kill his son .....it was a point made by God that He would supply the Lamb !!!

Maybe a silly and unreal question..but you did say what you said. How do you think God would view that? Did he give "any exceptions" for the use of blood? Would being in that situation not be a test on us all and does not God allow us to be tested as in our faith to him and his laws? Do you have your limits on being tested and does your faith have conditions attatched to it?
No need to answer as only you know and when we are tested even in the worst situations, he is watching.

You need to admit that the JWs and the Watchtower Society is a cult group and come out of it and get baptized in a real Christian Church.

Forgive me G-Man.... I don't understand the question.... Are you saying that what if God did allow Abraham to kill Issac how would I feel about it?

The prohibition was on eating / drinking blood not on blood transfusions.....
