1 Samuel 14:32-5 says Saul's army ate unBLED meat to not starve and no verses show God not forgiving them. Christ says God also forgave David's eating temple holy bread to survive and that God wants Mercy Not Sacrifice.
Wow! I can't believe I never knew anything about this scripture in 1 Samuel 14: 32-5!! I looked up some information on the Jewish view about blood transfusions and they don't equate the transfusion of blood from a live human to save another human life the same as eating the blood of a dead animal (which of course, they wouldn't eat).
