Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Rainbow, You told half the truth. Here is the rest of it: Gen 9:1 God blessed Noah and his sons and told them, " Multiply and fill the earth. Gen 9:2 All the wild animals, large and small, and all the birds and fish will be afraid of you. I have placed them in your power. Gen 9:3 I have given them to you for food, just as I have given you grain and vegetables. Gen 9:4 But you must never eat animals that still have their lifeblood in them. Gen 9:5 And murder is forbidden. Animals that kill people must die, and any person who murders must be killed. > Stan: " For one thing, they don't think killing is ever justified.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 This is something akin to what I read in The Big Book of Amazing Facts when I was a child. It was about mummification. In ancient Egypt, the internal organs were sometimes removed and stored in separate containers which could be accessed by the dead in the Afterlife for use if needed. But not the brain. The Egyptians didn't know what it was for, and so they just threw it away. Tom Administrator Re: > I think clearing kudzo wouldn't be random, it would take a huge > determined, definite, methodical, systematic, ordered, particular > effort! LOL! Did you know that, in some Asian countries, people consider kudzu a valuable natural resource? In Japan (where kudzu originated), people eat it in salads, make flour and fiber out of it, cook it in soup and as a vegetable, and do other things that I have forgotten. So if we want to control kudzu (as the Japanese have done for centuries), we don't need to clear it away ... we just need to learn how to use it! Or if we didn't want to use our kudzu (if most Americans just couldn't learn to like the taste, or something), we could just export it to Asian countries that *do* like it and use it ... (not to Japan: they have various trade embargoes on crops and livestock from the USA - but to other countries that would buy our kudzu if we had the wit to sell it to them).

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 The passages mean you cannot eat anything while it is alive, nor can you drink its blood from its body before or after death, nor can you drain the blood from its body and drink it. Tom Administrator > Tom: " You told half the truth. " The whole truth as I see it! > " Genesis 9:4: But you must never eat animals that still have their lifeblood in them.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 , In this case it was NOT a dietary law: Lev 17:14 The life of every creature is in the blood. That is why I have told the people of Israel never to eat or drink it, for the life of any bird or animal is in the blood. So whoever eats or drinks blood must be cut off. In a message dated 3/7/2006 5:20:08 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, ender@... writes: 9:3 Says we are suppose to be vegetarians and 9:4 Says we shouldn't eat animals that have blood... Oh, I'm aware that as part of the process of butchering an animal you drain their blood but there is really no way to get it all out... Ender All animals are bled after they are killed but before they are butchered and cooked. The blood will spoil the meat if it is left in and can cause other problems. That is why it is drained off. The point is not to get all of it out, but most of it. If you read the dietary laws, they are actually fairly sound by today's medical standards. I don't remember them all since it has been a while, but many of them do sound like modern food safety standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Mmmmmmmmmm I said I wasn't a hippy - even if I don't think killing is ever justified that does not mean that I can't see reasons where one might do so, even for myself. I would be loathe to take a human life, but I know that there might be situations where I would - there would be reasons, but I would never be able to justify it - to me that becomes dangerous territory - humans seem to have this remarkable ability of justifying some of the most appaling things ever. > > >> : " I am not sure if killing is ever justified - and no I am not some hippy......

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Now this is where I get confused - to me killing is killing, plain and simple - people just chose to justify it within war and self defence - the lines become blurred. It is saying - it's wrong to kill, but if you are at war then hey fine and also if someone punches you, you can kill them? I would kill in self defence, but only if I had to - as for war - war appals me. I forgot earlier to comment on an article you posted about the possibility of war with China - so I'll comment now :-) Why do people focus on the idea of war with China? What about making China allies and working together - is that not a possibility? > > > In a message dated 3/7/2006 4:45:27 P.M.
