... 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.
From my OP....
1. Blood was sacred under The Law.
2. Blood represents life.
3. It was a capital offense to use blood for any purpose other than to offer it as a sacrifice on the altar.
4. All of the restrictions about blood are just as binding on Christians as they were on OT Jews.
I have conceded all of the above for the sake of discussion.
My two questions remain.

2 hours later - So I was correct. Not even an attempt at answering either of the two questions.
You are a coward and a liar.
Question 1
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?
Question 2.
For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you for making atonement for your lives on the altar; for, as life, it is the blood that makes atonement. - Lev.17:11
According to this verse an Israelite farmer could have brought gallons of blood drained from live animals to the altar to atone for his sins.
Do you agree or not Fishy?

Fisherman - I say you are a liar and a coward.
I am off out for a couple of hours. Maybe by the time I get back you will have proven me wrong.
Just in case you are unclear here are the questions you have never attempted to answer.

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.

atheism = 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.
Having read lots of your copy-paste it is blindingly obvious your knowledge of evolution is nil.
You don't even understand the anti-evolution bullshit you are pasting.
You have never read a single book that presents the evidence for evolution in your entire life have you?

So prove me wrong with a quick link or copy-paste of your previous answers and I will publicly apologise to you.

We both know you are lying. Every single person reading this thread knows you are lying.
Prove me wrong about that by copy-pasting the answers you gave earlier.

the subject matter is the origin of biological information
Information is simply a metaphor in biology.
Comparative DNA proves beyond all possible doubt that every living thing evolved from a common ancestor over millions of years.

Fishy - You have made absolutely no effort to answer those two questions. Not one single word.
I appreciate you are embarrassed because you have no answer to them but do not resort to lying. If I remember correctly Jehovah hates lying.
All you have done so far is to repeat the first question in various forms - pretending not to understand the question, and you have never responded in any way to the second question.
I am going to keep posting them until you answer or concede you have no answer.
