There was no law against eating an animal found already dead as I proved with the quotes from Lev.11 and Lev.17.
(Deuteronomy 14:21) 21 “You must not eat any animal that was found dead. You may give it to the foreign resident who is inside your cities, and he may eat it, or it may be sold to a foreigner. For you are a holy people to Jehovah your God.. . .

Deliberately violating any law subject to "cutting off" = eating un-bled meat.
(Numbers 15:30, 31) 30 “‘But the person who does something deliberately, whether he is native-born or a foreign resident, is blaspheming Jehovah and must be cut off from among his people. 31 Because he has despised Jehovah’s word and broken his commandment, that person should be cut off without fail. His own error is upon him.’”

"If an Israelite farmer found an animal "already dead" he was free to eat
it with impunity. - Lev.11:38,39. Once an animal has been dead for more

these circumstances the Law is giving permission to eat unbled meat." Cofty

i have, for about 6 months now, been trying to watch every single movie that was "cool" or interesting since 1960.it started out with a desire to watch as an adult all disney movies.

1.there are times when a doctor decides that the only life saving medical treatment -short of a miracle- is a blood transfusion.
