And I can't even figure this one out for the life of me.
This is number four of the seven Noahide laws.
Do not eat a limb of a living animal.
Isn't it interesting how the Jews have a way of just misunderstanding even the clearest,
most basic scripture?
What did the actual scripture say in verse number four?
It says, Flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
What's that saying?
Don't eat blood tacos, right?
Don't eat blood pudding and don't eat blood jelly.
And there are people, of course, who do that in other cultures where they'll use blood
and eat blood in their food.
And people in Africa will sometimes, they'll mix blood with milk and drink that as a drink
and they love it.
It's gross to us.
But it's also sinful.
The Bible is telling us don't eat the blood.
So I don't do blood tacos or blood anything.
Not only because it's gross, but because the Bible says not to do it.
Now here's the thing about this though.
That's pretty easy to understand.
Don't eat blood.
So how do they get do not eat a limb of a living animal?
What does that even mean?
Because I'm trying to figure this out.
So let's work on this together.
Let's work as a team here.
Don't eat a limb of a living animal.
You know, I eat limbs of animals, I mean I've never eaten one while it was alive.
I mean is that what they're saying?
Like do we really?
Like, hey, look, if you just want to give only seven laws to mankind.
I mean think about this.
Hey, let me just give you the seven most basic, most important laws.
Hey, because without this it's going to be impossible for mankind to live in harmony.
Look, here's a big no-no.
Don't start eating your meat while the animal's still alive.
And you're going to be like, um, I wasn't going to.
I mean can you imagine this?
I mean, you know, how does that even work?
I mean you just have, I'm just trying to picture this.
I'm thinking about different meats and things, but you know I'm thinking about beef.
You know, so okay, so here's a cow, the cow's alive, let's dig in.
So I mean how do you even do that?
I mean you just, you just like, just carve it, it's like, you just say that, what?
I mean is that not the dumbest thing you've ever heard?
Do not eat a limb of a living animal.
Now they can't be saying, no, no, no, they're just saying don't eat limbs of animals.
Because they would be totally fine with me eating a chicken drumstick, right?
Because listen to their explanation.
They better give, you better start explaining, because this isn't making sense.
Okay, do not eat a limb of a living animal.
Here's their explanation.
Respect the life of all God's creatures.
As intelligent beings, we have a duty not to cause undue pain to other creatures.
Okay, now you can read between the lines here what they're basically saying is that, you
know, don't cause pain to other creatures and the reason why is because we're more intelligent.
Basically they're showing that they believe that we're animals.
They're basically teaching that we're animals and they're animals and it's okay for them
to rip each other apart out in the wild because they're not that smart.
But because we're intelligent, we can't harm or hurt animals because we're smarter than
that.
I mean, is that a teaching of the Bible?
Does that sound like a Christian teaching or a biblical teaching of, hey, you know,
we don't want to hurt other animals because we're the smart animals and so it's our duty
as the smart ones, you know, to show unto these baboons a more excellent way.
That's not what the Bible teaches.
And this shows that if it's about causing undue pain, when they say do not eat the limb
of a living animal, they're talking about eating it while it's still alive.
I guess this is like those videos from the Philippines where they're like putting those
animals in their mouth when they're still alive.
What were they eating again?
Have you seen those videos that have gone around?
They're doing an octopus.
Yeah, they're putting like an octopus.
They show some like teenage Filipino girl and she like puts an octopus in her mouth
and the little legs are coming out and she's like, ooh, it's so yummy.
Have you seen those videos before?
Alright, you're not missing anything if you didn't see it.
But they show, you know, them eating living things.
I mean, is that really what this is about?
Like only seven laws, give me the most important, just give me the basics, just the essentials
so that we can live in harmony with mankind.
You know what?
I don't know, I feel like we get along with the Philippines pretty well even if they do
pop a live octopus in their mouth.
You know, I think we can still get along.
I have no issue.
