The Christian beliefs and ideas do come for what is said in the Holy Bible. This however, does not mean Christians must exclude all other ideas that are not stated in the Holy Bible, but just those contrary to it. This is were I would say belief in the theories of abiogenesis and evolution should be avoided. The theories of relativity, electicity, gravity ...[text shortened]... ndant life, so Christians should not object to them since Jesus said greater works shall you do.
So when did "abstain from blood" evolve into, it's ok to put another humans blood into your body?
This has gone from "do nothing with blood" except for sacrificial purposes from God's own words in more then one place in the Bible, to now using it for something God never even hinted for us to do. Who may I ask has made that decision and canceled out God's own words?
If God told you to not murder, but yet you go kill another human on some battle field ( as I know you would and think it is just fine to do ) do you have that right to go against God's words? Don'y kill means exactly what it says, DON'T KILL.
If God tells you not to commit fornication, but you feel it's ok to approve of homosexuality, who gives you that right to change what God has said not to do? DO NOT COMMIT FORNICATION means exactly that.
Are all these things "ok" just because the world says it's so?
And who said it's up to us to promote abundent life? God told us to have children and fill the earth and not to take anothers life, but we are not in control of human life in this sense we are speaking of with blood being put into another human.
Yes we try all we can within the laws of God and of common sence to preserve life by all means. But God made that law of blood for many reasons. He is the creator of life and the taker of life as he sees fit. He says one's life is in their blood. We have no right to overstep God's authority over this issue of blood at all, thus he gave a simple but grave command to humans to ABSTAIN from it. No exceptions at all has he has given to this day.
