Careful examination of Genesis 9:4-7, and Leviticus 17:11-14, as found in Rabbi Hirsch's exegesis, renders pearls of immense value. And if we suceed even where Hirsch stumbles, unable to bring his exegesis to term, then the pearls of wisdom transform into cut diamonds. For instance, in Hirsch's...
I quoted KJV scripture to prove it. You ignored it. Standard Operating Procedure for 101G.
Here it is again:

Again, Jesus never had any government on his shoulders, nor is he the prince of peace. He said "do not think I came to bring peace". Done. Isaiah 9:6 is a fail.
He is most assuredly a false prophet.

I know the fact we refuse blood transfusions raises concerns and I understand the critics, even if the majority of time they have nothing to worry about and it's not that much of an issue given the amount of alternatives available today.
In Leviticus17:14 we read "The life of every sort of...

1) Yes many have bishops.... The Catholic Church has bishops... Peter is the Chief Bishop... the SHEPHERD of God' holy flock; The Key holder.. The Bishop that strengthens the others!
The Bishop with AUTHORITY of Jesus Peter speaks for Jesus!
FACT: Jesus established ONLY one church it...
When God said “I am He”, He’s saying He is THE ONLY God, and when Jesus said “I am he” in John 18:5, he was responding to the soldiers and acknowledging that he IS Jesus of Nazareth, NOT that he’s God – try to read in context instead of trying to make Jesus God which, by Jesus own words, clearly...
Ah. I see.
Your argument is that God condemns the eating of blood. Transfusion is not eating blood. Therefore God does not condemn blood transfusions.
I suppose Acts 15 says don't eat too, right?
The FAQ is a section that give answers in a very basic way. To get a deeper understanding, persons...
I had no idea. I assumed you were Muslim.
I'm sure you know why you refuse blood transfusions.
Yes, let's look at the passages they cited:
Genesis 9:4:
Only flesh with its life—its blood—you must not eat.
Leviticus 17:10:
“‘If any man of the house of Israel or any foreigner who is residing...

I invite you to look up the verses that they say themselves are the basis for their position.
Sure there can be complications when doing something like that, but it is needed to save life.
A blood transfusion is a routine medical procedure in which donated blood is provided to you through a narrow tube placed within a vein in your arm.
This potentially life-saving procedure can help...
The Eucharist is symbolic of what Jesus did on the cross and by believing in Him you may "drink His blood" and "eat His flesh". Not just on the Passover meal.
Grape wine can never be the actual blood of Jesus. It's just symbolic ... what Jesus meant by drinking His blood was to receive the new...
There are three reasons why your “analysis” remains unconvincing. #1, you’re oversimplifying the commandment not to eat blood. Observant Jews do eat blood. “Lifeblood” is from a living animal, or one that’s still warm.
#2, the Protestant idea of “symbol only” only came about with the...

I think you raise an interesting point and I tend to agree with your idea that it may have been a provocative break with the old religion and a hard teaching to test the will of the disciples.
One of the earliest commandments in the Bible given to all mankind as part of the Covenant with Noah, and one of the only dietary restraints to persist under the New Covenant is to not consume blood. The commandment is also repeated many times throughout the OT.
Genesis 9:4-6 “But you must not...

The Bible’s answer
The Bible commands that we not ingest blood. So we should not accept whole blood or its primary components in any form, whether offered as food or as a transfusion. Note the following scriptures:
Genesis 9:4. God allowed Noah and his family to add animal...
They weren't separated from the love of God, but from his direct presence. Indeed, as the OT progresses, as sin increases, God further distances himself from the people. Thus the need for mediators. The Old Covenant was mediated by angels, the New Covenant by Christ.
