Blood & Fat

Hello good evening Br **..

As I stated in my previous reply it's up to you whether to consider transfusion is a violation.

Other denominations don't have such troubles, in Catholic Council of Florence 1442, Session 11, already issued a decree which says his word was uttered to ease tensions between congregations of Jews and Gentiles and ought to be taken its validity temporarily.

In Nicene Council 325 Arianism was thought pagan. Yet you take a standpoint of nontrinitarian view.

You use the term stake instead of cross.

This is correct, since stauros means in Greek a upright pole, not a cross. It was Constantine who connects Babylonian tradition and Christianity.

It's OK, but are you the one who don't celebrate Sunday as Lord's Day? Even if not so still you take holiday in this day. Isn't it a heretic tradition?

I think many cultures are interwoven together, so it's hard and meaningless to define which is Christian and which is not.

Leviticus 7: 22 -26 says fat is also prohibited. I have never heard fat is banned in the meeting though. Do you regard this prohibition is not valid any more because it's a Mosaic law - the same theory as swine?

I'm not sure whether blood was on the table in ancient times, but if it's so this prohibition counts a lot. And it counts a lot today since blood transfusions are common.. so it's up to you. But I think it's more practical to obey the order of abstaining from fat in our times since it causes various diseases.

I think I am much better now..

See you soon,

Mer
