Came here to read a bit and fell on this

Thinking ? No ? we were not bound to the command related to blood issue is not only in the Mosaïc law : as said here
---
? However, such collecting, storing, and transfusing of blood directly contradicts what is said in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. Blood is not to be stored; it is to be poured out?returned to God, as it were. Granted, the Mosaic Law is not in force now. Nevertheless, Jehovah?s Witnesses respect the principles God included in it, and they are determined to ?abstain from blood.? Hence, we do not donate blood , nor do we store for transfusion our blood that should be ?poured out.? That practice conflicts with God?s law.

What about acts 15 : 29 (that we read so much times !!!)
"That ye abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which if ye keep yourselves, it shall be well with you. Fare ye well."
No precision here about what it means exactly (but it doesn?t say it is a sin ? it says abstain and you?ll fare well) that is the verse they were putting under our nose years ago about blood issue ? which is not in the first testament
But now there is the reason why I?ve launched this topic :
Caution : about this part of the sentence : ? that ye abstain from things sacrificed to idols? ? WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN EXACTLY !
This doesn?t mean that we shouldn?t not have idols ? NO ? (to much detailed : why not just : do not have, touche believe, follow ANY idol : clear ! but NO here ? that can means that we should not touche what have been scarified to idols ? (??? ... !!! ... Ooooooooooooh !!!) Which is quiet interesting about what the bible is saying about other deities!!!
Now that reminds me that I?ve read this topic on day :
Those who didn?t read it yet just DO !
I?m just lucky that I?ve post on it to be able to find it back !

Which talking about : Genesis 322 And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever-- 23 therefore Jehovah God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
What have not been said in the topic (but it mean it anyway) Is that actually God never meant to give us whatever ? actually we should be able to get it ourselves !!! God is just taking things away from us ?
And of course it says also that he is not the only one GOD the UNIQUE (the Christians are in trouble)? I mean it is written IN THE GENESIS ? LOL ! chapter 2 ! HOW DID WE SLIDE ON THIS SO MANY YEARS ? - And who is able to think that this god is a god of LOVE !!! Ooops !
Funny life ? not funny god
