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 you 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, and it's gross to us,
but it's also sinful, 'cause the Bible's 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?
'Cause 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.
Now, 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, 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, 'cause without this,
it's gonna 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 gonna 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.
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, (growling)
you just like, just carve, it's like, (growling)
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,
'cause they better give, you better start explaining,
'cause 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 'cause 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
'cause they're not that smart.
But because we're intelligent,
we can't harm or hurt animals
'cause 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 wanna hurt other animals
'cause we're the smart animals.
And so it's our duty as the smart ones
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?
Yeah, they're putting like an octa,
they show some like teenage Filipino girl
and she like puts an octopus in her mouth
and little legs are coming out and she's like,
ooh, it's so yummy.
Who's seen those videos before?
All right, you're not missing anything if you didn't see it.
But they show 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.
But...
