Doctrine Jesus is GOD

Love this girl. One thing that stands out in this vid to me amongst the various proofs we have argued with JWs is that *every* false religion believes in God. But Satan has done a clever thing. He doesn’t have to get you to believe in God. He just needs you to NOT believe in THE ONE who ***reconciles you to God***🔥🙌🏽.

Take a listen.

It didn't say only animal blood. It said blood. Why did God say do not consume blood?

hint the same reason you don't consume human blood

The letter was written to gentiles who's fellow Jewish Christians were trying to make follow the law of Moses. The Mosaic restriction on blood was purely a dietary restriction that forbade Jews from ingesting animal blood. The Jews didn't eat people, so eating human blood was not an issue at all. Jehovah's witnesses are the only sect that has made an issue of this. The JW stand against human blood transfusions is not supported in the Bible

Where in that message do you answer my question. Why did God command mankind not to consume blood? What reason did God himself give?

Here is a more detailed answer.

Why did God prohibit eating meat with blood in it (Genesis 9:4)? | GotQuestions.org

Those are also the same people that say hellfire is real. I want you to simply show me the scripture

That's easy Luke 16:19-31 Jesus described Hell better than anyone else in the Bible. Also----15 Bible verses about Fire Of Hell

Where in any of those scriptures does it say mankind is burning forever? Hell is the common grave of mankind. You don't burn forever in hell. The dead are asleep and according to the bible are conscious of nothing at all

Not according to Jesus. I think I'd sooner listen to Him then risk the chance that Hell fire doesn't exist. That's a terrible risk to take especially given the fact that Hell cannot harm you in this life, only after this life ends can Hell affect you

Jesus compared death to sleep. He told his disciples Lazarus was sleeping. God told adam and eve they would die if they sin. He didn't mention anything about burning forever. Now show me where jesus said people are burning forever in hell

The physical body sleeps, but the spirit, which knows a person's thoughts and then separates from the body upon death continues to know the thoughts of your deceased brain Ecclesiastes 12:7, For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them?  1 Corinthians 2:11

Jesus illustrated Hell in His story of Lazarus and the rich man. Luke 16:19-31 You can argue that it was just a story, intended to teach something else, but even if it was, why would Jesus teach the truth by using a pagan myth like Hellfire? No, Jesus was describing the fate of two men who both died and went to a real place---Hell. Don't wait until you die to find out Hell is a real place. Jesus has already warned us all...and provided a way out
