Cofty said there were consequences for eating an unbled dead animal found while out hunting.
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."
Apparently, no consequences for the goy! God allowed the eating of found dead unbled animals - and according to cofty -- its blood.
Compare Gen 9:4

Can any sort of blood be consumed by worshippers of God?
All that cofty is saying is that it is ok to eat blood just as long as the blood does not come from an animal slaughtered for food.

Richard, cofty teaches that Jehovah gives his worshippers implied permission to eat blood from dead animals and from living animals and the blood from people too insofar as nobody is slaughtered. In that case the blood contains the life of the creature and should not be consumed (according to the Bible) Cofty's proof is that God gave Israel implied permission to eat dead animals ( found dead or torn by a wild beast.)
TD argument is that a blood transfusion is not the same as eating blood and human lives are lost based on interpretation of Acts which does not actually forbid blood for medical use according to TD. TD also says that the purpose of God's law is so people can live by it -not die by it as refusing a blood transfusion does.
TD also says that the Mosaic Law on blood is integrated with the entire law code and cannot be factored and used as law independent from the entire system of laws.

Cofty: Let me know when you post scriptures to support your views. I am fed up with cofty's stories.
Anyway, the scriptures are clear; Worshipers of God in ancient Israel were forbidden to eat dead animals that were not slaughtered according to the provisions of the law of Moses.
since the angels that followed satan could take on human form and even have sex and bear offspring to females of earth why would satan not have used this avenue instead of talking through a snake .?
which really makes no common sense ?.
why wouldnt eve question how a snake could talk?
He knew what he was doing.

Ez 4:14 I then said: “Not that, Sovereign Lord Jehovah! From my youth until now, I have not been defiled by eating meat from an animal found dead or a torn animal, and no unclean meat has entered my mouth.”
The Bible according to cofty : God allowed Israelites to eat dead animals, torn animals, and unclean meat ( pigs, rats, owls,) Except for priests! - Including the Apostle Peter the Catholic priest.
"But Peter said: “Not at all, Lord, because I have never eaten anything defiled and unclean.” - Acts 10:14

Tzayad actually means trapping -not hunting. The animal is caught then slaughtered. Killing an animal before slaughtering it or wounding it below the knee is not allowed for food based on Judaism today.

Cofty.You have not shown scripture that God gave permission to Israel to eat dead animals.-Only cofty commentary.
