It's clear the Bible is talking about the handling and preparation and consumption of animals as food.

If you check my posts, you will see that I have always said people should be free to believe whatever they want to unless it infringes on the rights of others or the law of the land

I said that in the context of extremists and others similarly engaged in trying to force others to accept their pov.

As far as blood transfusions are concerned, where the courts decide it should be done, that is the end of it, imho.

And, for the record, I believe the courts are right in this instance.

I am still trying to figure out how, in the 21st century, we have people who believe that all livings things with blood have a soul which can be divided up among countless other life forms by eating or injecting their blood.
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

Why analogize a transfusion with "eating"?

If you could not eat orally for some reason, how would a hospital feed you?

As long as Jehovah does not want you to see it because of your lack of wanting to understand it, It ain't going to happen.

Dude. Do you think I'm really going to repeat for maybe the 8th time the same answers to your same questions that you so ignorantly keep going back too? What a joke you are.

Why not quote the whole phrase or sentence?

Acts 15:20 has twenty seven words in it, not three.

And then talk about what the word "blood" is actually referring to.

What is eating "the meat of strangled animals and blood" referring to?

Is "food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood" a reference to goings-on in a hospital?

Just keep missing it aren't you? How is that possible when it's right in front of you?

You are fabricating nonsense based on Bible verses about the preparation of food.
