Life in Forbidden Meat

visitor
In the previous article entitled Forbidden Meat in Book of Genesis, a question was asked whether not not the word "life" stated in Genesis 9:4 refers only to "human" life to the exclusion of "animal" life. For reference, the verse is restated, to wit;
4The one thing you must not eat is meat
with blood still in it. I forbid this because the life is in the blood.(Genesis 9:4, TEV)
Life is presently understood to include animal life. Due to this orientation, most believers consider the forbidden  "meat with blood still in it" as referring only to "any" animal meat and worst, even to the exclusion of human meat. 

What is being mentioned in Genesis 9:4?

But first, let us discuss the materiality of word "life" to the verse. Isn't logical that if ever you have determined life in the verse to refer only to human, then the meat and blood being mentioned in the same verse would likewise refer only to human?

Now, since verse 4 does not specifically mention what kind meat, blood and life are being referred in the prohibition, it becomes necessary to review the accompanying verses in order to be sure on the thoughts of the One who spoke. The accompanying verses are as follows:

2All the animals, birds and fish will live in fear of you. They are all placed under your power. 3Now you can eat them, as well as green plants; I give them all to you for food. 4The one thing you must not eat is meat with blood still in it. I forbid this because the life is in the blood. 5If anyone takes human life, he will be punished. I will punish with death any animal that takes a human life. (Genesis 9:3-5, TEV).
Immediately after verse 4, verse 5, which is  very helpful in the determination of the scope of the former, whether or not animal life is impliedly intended in it, only. mentions "life" by stating human life twice, for emphasis, but without expressly mentioning  any animal life, as follows:
5If anyone takes human life, he will be punished. I will punish with death any animal that takes a human life. (Genesis 9:5, TEV).
Upon the other hand, the preceding verses 2 and 3 mention animals as food. Technically, foods have no life. They are intended to sustain human life.
2All the animals, birds and fish will live in fear of you. They are all placed under your power. 3Now you can eat them, as well as green plants; I give them all to you for food.
Preceding premises considered, the "life", which is stated in verse 4, would only refer to human life to the exclusion of animal life. Otherwise, there would be a gross inconsistency of verse 4 to verses 2 and 3 and verse 5. That being so, it follows that the meat and blood, which are stated in the same verse (verse 4), would only refer to human. Therefore, the prohibition is logically "eating human meat with human blood still in it", which is equivalent to "sexually" eating human meat as in "oral sex".

If one would try to interpret the word "life" as inclusive of animal life, then, for purposes of consistency, verse 2, 3 and 5 may be amended, at the reader's risk, as follows:
2All the birds and fish will live in fear of you. They are all placed under your power. 3Now you can eat them, as well as green plants; I give them all to you for food. (Note: animal was deleted)

5If anyone takes human and/or animal life , he will be punished. I will punish with death any animal that takes a human and/or animal life. (Genesis 9:5TEV).(Note: animal was added)
Therefore, without amending the verses, logically, life that is being stated in verse 4 refers only to human life.

Is Jesus Christ falsified?

Are there falsities in  Jesu s  Christ,  which make the name merely a product of man's imagination and foolishness? Specifically, is Jesus Christ a real person in terms of authenticity of the  name , authenticity of the  image  and validity of  doctrines and   practices  being attached to him by false Christians? (Source of photo: Yaohú Servo Yaohushua’s facebook page). Or was his name merely  invented by the bible , his image merely  created by Leonardo Da Vinci  and the  doctrines and practices  being attached to him merely created by false Christians by deceptively stealing the Words of God and mis-using the story of the real messiah? Related to the above issue is  Habakkuk 2:12-14 , which is a prophecy for  Vatican City , being the headquarter of the Roman Catholicism. As a background, Habakkuk 2 prophecy refers to the judgment for  United States  (Habakkuk 2:4-8),  United Kingdom  (Habakkuk 2:15-17)  Vatican City  and  France  (Habakkuk 2:9-11).

Is praying in public spiritually helpful?

-

Roman Catholicism headed by Pope Francis and other religious groups are fun of showing their prayer activities in public and in the house of worship. Also, followers are fun of texting their prayers to others to impress them of their efforts. But is this the kind of prayer that was taught by Christ?To guide the readers, quoted  is the substance of the scripture used by the Roman Catholic Alleged Church : 5 “When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites! They love to stand up and pray in the houses of worship and on the street corners, so that everyone will see them. I assure you, they have already been paid in full. 6 But when you pray, go to your room, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you. 7 “When you pray, do not use a lot of meaningless words, as the pagans do, who think that their gods will hear them because their prayers are long. 8 Do not be like them. Your Father already knows

What is "spiritual vaccine"?

Pope Francis, in his capacity as spiritual leader, not as medical doctor or scientist, warns against “administering a vaccine against "faith”. Logically, when he talks as a spiritual leader about vaccines, he is deem referring to "spiritual vaccine". Also, as vaccines in medical science are intended to prevent diseases, then, in spiritual sense, it follows that he is referring to "faith" as spiritual  "disease". When he further warned against ‘administering’ the vaccine, then he logically means that he is warning against the prevention of "faith", being a disease. Specifically, the statements are quoted as follows:   “The pontiff said educational leaders should ask themselves “how can we proclaim Christ to a generation that is changing?” “We must be careful not to administer a vaccine against faith to them,” the 77-year-old added.”( http://ph.news.yahoo.com ) This is related to Roman Catholic Alleged Church way of presumably r
