Jehovah Witness and blood Jesus told us of the prodigal son coming home?

Question

his father was so happy he killed the fatted calf.
Surely there was blood from the calf that they eat at the feast. Jesus didn't mention anything about eating the meat with the blood in it. I am not being nasty just trying to understand their religion.

Answer 1

Balderdash! The story about those scallywags has been thoroughly told on American PBS. a bunch of hard-working faithful farmers were hoodwinked by a first-class conman like jimmy Swigart or, worse yet, that James Robison bible thumper from Dallas Texas. what a bunch of bloodsuckers.

Answer 2

It was in the Mosaic Law 100's of years before this that upon killing an animal for eating, it was to be hung up and the blood allowed to drain out and covered with dirt. All listening would have known this from the time they were kids.

Acts 15:28-29 repeated this command for Christians, the necessary things included abstaining from blood.

Answer 3

They ate the meat and the cooked blood that was in it, enjoyed it very much, then stood up with their full stumachs and said to the passers by, 'do not eat blood!'
I have asked questions about blood too, but don't understand yet.

Answer 4

True Christians (such as Jehovah's Witnesses) do not argue with scientists who assert that there some minuscule quantity of blood remains even in meat that has been properly slaughtered, bled, and processed.

It would seem that Jehovah is satisfied with the conscientious effort to respect his laws, and understands that perfection is not possible at this time.

(Acts 15:20,28,29) Write them [the various Christian congregations] to abstain from things polluted by idols [which likely was not bled properly] and from fornication and from what is strangled [the meat of which would contain blood] and from blood. ...For the holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to you, except these necessary things, to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols [which likely was not bled properly] and from blood and from things strangled [the meat of which would contain blood] and from fornication. If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper.

Answer 5

Well seeing as he was a servant of Jehovah, one could assume that he BLED the animal after killing the animal.

Thanks for the question and the forethought it shows.

Never heard they couldn't eat meat...they just won't accept blood transfusions.

Answer 7

i spotted you believe Adam grew to become into not created desirable. if it is so why did it take him over 900 years to die.?Why, if we are imperfect as you say he grew to become into,we don't stay to 900 years. Then If we can by no skill attain perfection, how could we be waiting to stay continually and justify Romans 5 12: because of the fact of this, purely as with the aid of one guy sin entered into the international and death with the aid of sin, and for this reason death unfold to all men because of the fact they had all sinned. all of us comprehend that Jesus gave his existence on behalf of mankind. This grew to become into simply by Adams unique sin. If Adam by no skill sinned, he by no skill could have died. The earth could have been packed along with his offspring. Which,all of them could be desirable and by no skill had died. So, Adam , as a desirable guy, had to "circulate out of his way" to sin. It grew to become into as problematical as him to sin because it could be for us to be sinless.in case you needed to apply that argument. you additionally can say does Jesus ransom sacrifice conceal the sins of the angels that fell with devil? no, those angels have been desirable additionally. they chosen to sin against God. all of us comprehend their result would be eternal destruction.....Mark
