I know you are big on demanding questions get answered, so where the answer
to this question from you?
"So, do you support the killing of the unborn for any reason if that is woman's
choice? "
I've made every attempt to answer your questions, you may not have liked
my answers but I gave them to you. So please answer mine!

Your question is not relevant to the issue of denying a child a blood transfusion that would be essential to the child's life.
Well, this blind man is rectifying his "not seeing with eyes, nor hearing with ears" so that he can once again share this with others for they to do as well..
My desire that I shall fulfill one grand day is to walk into a Hospital and go to one with the slightest belief they can be healed, and DO so..
RELEASE them from their possibly 60,000$ sickbed, for not a cent, but set free, for ETERNITY! Amen

actually yes it did, shall i repeat the scripture AGAIN?
(Acts 15:28-29) . . .For the holy spirit and we ourselves have favoured adding no further burden to you, except these necessary things, to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication.

the import of the words of course is, that abstaining from a diet of blood is healthy![/b]

19 Therefore it is my judgment that we do not trouble those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles,
20 but that we write to them that they abstain from things contaminated by idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood.
I was thinking how much context is of importance. The context was how do they incorporate the gentiles? Why is the idols and blood and strangled all in the same sentence? It's obvious that this is a dietary matter. The Jewish Christians wanted to
keep to the dietary laws. There must have been a practice that involved these components of animals being strangled with blood and whatever else was done.

If God has cleansed all foods then who cares and Jesus said " it's not what enters a man's stomach the defiles him it's what is in a man's heart!! Also this.
5 I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, an object coming down like a great sheet lowered by four corners from the sky; and it came right down to me,
6and when I had fixed my gaze on it and was observing it I saw the four-footed animals of the earth and the wild beasts and the crawling creatures and the birds of the air.
7 I also heard a voice saying to me, 'Get up, Peter; kill and eat.'
8"But I said, 'By no means, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered my mouth.'
9"But a voice from heaven answered a second time, What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy

18And He said to them, "Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him,
19because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?" (Thus He declared all foods clean.)
20And He was saying, That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man.
21"For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,
22deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness.
23"All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man."
Mark 7 18-23
So Galvo and R.C. Jesus gives you permission to eat whatever you want this will not defile you. Of course everything with moderation. These are the words of Christ
not Manny LOL 😉 can't refute these words. Also it really is not what enters the body per se that defiles but if you want to live by the law that is your choice. If a young man received a blood transfusion to save his life he would not have transgressed in anyway.
