If you honestly think or believe that Satan hasn't ever challenged Jehovah, you're wrong. Satan challenged Jehovah in the Garden of Eden. Satan challenged Jehovah God's rulership, by teaching or spreading lies that God didn't rule in a way that was in the best interests of mankind or humanity. Satan was basically telling or teaching mankind that mankind or humanity could rule themselves in their own best interests without God. Satan has been teaching or telling mankind that the True God Jehovah has been withholding things from mankind or humanity that is in their best interests to know. All of this of course is lies but Satan has been challenging God rulership over Mankind.
Also at Acts 15:28,29 God inspired word tells us that it's equally important to abstain from blood as we would also abstain from all forms of sexual immorality. Now if you don't think it's important to abstain from all forms of sexual immorality then of course you're not going to abstain from blood. The animal sacrifices that were put on the alter before Jesus Christ sacrificed himself by putting his human life on the alter, foreshadowed that greater sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Just as you abstain from animal blood because that animal life was put on the alter that animals life being in it's blood so too with greater reason we abstain from human blood because a human sacrificed himself for mankind/humanity. That human life being in his blood.
I was corrected. I'm not used to the past name 'Jehovah' being used all the time in order to push an ideology about the name 'Jehovah'. I thought the reference was to the devil's temptation of Jesus.
Satan did make an accusation against Job to God. He also tested Eve about the Word of God, knowing she was deceived. Likewise he resisted the Lord's purifying of the high priest Joshua.
And the law of God is to not eat blood, nor things strangled. James repeated the law to make it matter of Law for Christians to. He said to abstain from idols, fornication, things strangled, and blood: don't be an idolator, nor a fornicator, nor an eater of things strangled and of blood.
And if you think having blood transfusions is akin to fornication, then go ahead and by all means don't do it. But that is just a personal ideology.
It is always funny-strange how people feel it necessary to look for some special little interpretation of their own, away from the obvious meaning of Scripture.
Trying to be really special in the body of Christ is a most pernicious thing.
we abstain from human blood: The you need to bleed out, because you're full of it.
How do you abstain from things strangled? Do you practise ritual purification of a strangled chicken flops onto your shin?
You people are funny. A real hoot.
