  What is the (or your) definition of unbled meat as described in 1 Samuel 14:32-35 where Saul fed his army unbled meat. I would assume that his army did not travel with a herd of sheep and the meat they ate would be from the wild.

  I am a hunter and when I harvest a deer, I do not hang it and cut the throat. I have already dressed (disemboweled) the deer and that includes removing the heart from the inside which allows a total bloodletting.

  There are Jdubs who hunt and it is quite obvious to game officials who they are because they will check in deer with the throat cut. Don't they know that cutting the throat of something already dead is useless? Ask any Medical Examiner and they will tell you the dead don't bleed.

  The Scriptures still cannot be annulled.

  The greek word used here is 'APECESQAI' these verses are reporting a command given, rather than giving a command. Once again we need to take into consideration what the Hebrews believed, and not to offend the gentiles needed to accommodate their beliefs.

  Jehovah knew the issues better than we when he authored his Holy Scriptures. We need to reason according to His ways, not our own. (Isaiah 55:8, 9.)

  Fred, Not to be antagonistic however, I beg to differ with your belief there. Once again you are quoting Old Testament. Jesus fulfilled the old testament laws, we need to understand Christianity is not based on legalistic doctrine, its based on love and salvation by grace. The Holy scriptures are guides, the old testament is a testament of Christ and what he accomplished. The day he went to be crusified was the day that the old testament was fulfilled. Christian's shouldn't keep harping on what the old testament writers wrote. We now live under the new covenant and have a personal relationship with God.

  Acts 15: 20, 29 comes after Jesus' death and resurrection, and definitely applies to both Jews and Gentiles. A read of Acts 15 especially verse 19 shows this plainly. As 2 Tim 3:16 states: All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial. All is a pretty inclusive word.

  Twice said, "Abstain from blood". There is no description made in regards to unbled meat. You have to kill a wild animal before you bleed it and if the dead don't bleed, then how do you properly bleed it? Is this an oversight on god's part?
