@starsslave: That is hypocrisy, what differs the intake of blood into their veins from eating it?

Also some of those verses are from the new testaments, jews dont have those.

@MartinTheFirst: You're right about not having the New Testament texts although in this case they seem to cover the same ground. I don't see how it's hypocritical! The texts say "eating". Receiving a blood transfusion isn't eating. I can see how you equate it as a form of consumption, but that isn't obvious. It seems like a matter of definition or interpretation.

@starsslave: I'd rather not take any chances. The blood is explained to be holy, and when it comes down to it, it doesnt matter in what way you consume blood, its all the same. All a sin.

I can but i can't... interesting

Why not?
