I have reconciled every verse regarding blood.
My work here is done. Yours is all ahead of you.

556The Watchtower are Right About Blood...
by cofty in... but, they fail to take note of one important detail.. i believe that if we are going to have any chance of reasoning with a jw about blood, this is the place we need to begin.. don't try to convince them that it was only a dietary law.
it wasn't, and they will never go along with it.. don't tell them that saving a life is more important than obeying a law, even a seemingly trivial one.
they take pride in obedience.

Why does Lev.17 show a distinction between the blood of an animal slaughtered for food and the blood of an animal found dead?

cofty, Lev 17 shows a distinction between the blood of an animal slaughtered for food and the blood of an animal found dead.
Yes.
My question for you is - why?
I have asked you about a dozen times. All you do is repeat the question.

How many times do I have to ask the same simple question Fishy? I even sent it to you by PM.

Fishy...
Lev.17: 13 & 14 state very clearly that he who hunts an animal for food and does not bleed it will be "cut off".
Verse 15 says that he who eats an animal that dies of itself will be unclean until the evening. The only requirement is to have bath and change clothes.
Why is there a difference if the blood is sacred in the way JWs believe it to be?
"God commands that we abstain from blood because what it represents is sacred to him."

Atheism = self defeating.
by towerwatchman inatheism = self defeating.
first may we define our terms.
the word atheism comes literally from the greek, alpha the negative and theos [for god], therefore “negative god” or there is no god.

@stephenmyers complaining that natural selection does not explain the origin of DNA is like complaining gravity doesn't explain rainbows.
DNA proves that all living things evolved from a common ancestor over millions of years
The origin of life is another topic.

In relation to DNA "information" is nothing but a metaphor. -

Mathematically Measuring Evolution.
by towerwatchman inmathematically measuring evolution.. when judging relationships in terms of morphological characteristics we will always be bound by the subjective.
morphologically one cannot exactly measure the distance between two organisms strictly in mathematical terms.
using the standard method of taxonomy we cannot quantify the difference between a horse and a mouse, or know which is closer mouse to cat, or mouse to fish.
