This is one of God’s laws that most people are breaking, usually without knowing it.\u00a0 The Bible, both in the Old Testament and New Testament, states very clearly that God requires us to abstain from\u00a0eating meat with blood in it. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Given by God to Noah:
\nGen 9:4\u00a0 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat<\/u>.<\/p>\n
Given by God in the Statutes and Judgments:
\nLev 3:17\u00a0 It shall be a perpetual statute<\/u> for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood<\/u>.
\nSee also\u00a0 Lev. 7:26-27; 17:13-14; 19:26; Deut. 12:16, 23; 15:23<\/p>\n
Given by God in the Apostles words to the Gentile Converts:
\nAct 15:28-29\u00a0 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood<\/u>, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.<\/p>\n
Given by God through Ellen White:
\n\u201cAs a family, you are far from being free from disease. You have used the fat of animal which God in His word expressly forbids<\/u>: “It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.” “Moreover, ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings. Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.”\u00a0 {CD 393.}<\/p>\n
This law God gave about not eating meat with blood and fat in it is obviously still just as binding of a law as it always was.\u00a0 But most people who eat meat are breaking this law without realizing it.\u00a0 Virtually all meat you can buy in the grocery store or at a restaurant has blood in it.\u00a0 Blood is part of what gives meat its flavor and color.\u00a0 The only way to get meat which has been drained of the blood is to either kill the animal yourself and drain the blood or buy it from a Jewish store that sells \u201cKosher\u201d meat.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the giving of the law, God gave Moses specifications regarding the law. These specifications are plain and explicit. No one need make a mistake…In the day of judgment we shall be asked whether we have lived in harmony with these specifications.\u201d\u00a0 {AUCR, March 25, 1907}<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
