Hungry

Leviticus 17
11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the bloodthat maketh an atonement for the soul. 12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. 13 And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. 14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.

Can the physical atone for the spiritual? For us humans it is an absolute yes. Because giving gifts makes a loved one happy. Physical and spiritual gifts makes us happy because we have a physical body and spiritual body. However for God who is spiritual, can he understand the language?

A woman giving birth to a baby covered with blood is why ancient people associated blood with life and commanded blood not to be eaten. Also the menstruation of females that shows blood leaving the body is likened to life leaving the body. Thus females are rendered inferior. But we live in modern times, this is not true. Truth is women are untapped resources because in spirit, they are equal to men. The growth and progress of a nation is reflective of their women workforce.

My understanding of the menstrual cycle is this is a sign that a woman is ready to procreate. Like menopause says that the females are infertile. However they say that the playground is still open. 

How to apply this in the spiritual? What does it say in the New Testament?

Getting pregnant and having to labor at giving birth is like when you suffered great evils in achieving a goal. 

Matthew 5
1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

It is the same with learning knowledge. When you thirst and hunger for food for the brains, you should take great pains in studying because your reward is you become prosperous, happy and fulfilled in life. Peace.

Matthew 26
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

Acts 10
9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

So you eat the body and drink the blood. Do not drink it raw like Dracula okay? Of course we cook it first. We have a delectable blood stew over here in the PH.

This is a dish called Dinuguan which contains pork meat and blood with spices boiled in a stew. So in english, it is called Pork Blood Stew. I do not know about beef blood. But chicken blood is also tasty but is not cooked this way cause the chicken blood solidifies in open air.

Okay I have said that you do fasting when you get tested for diseases so the blood is dirty. But I am not a doctor or nutritionist okay? I think the bacteria dies when you cook it. That is why you also cook meat because meat has bacteria. There is also blood in the meat so you cannot fully extract it. So if you say we should not eat blood then you should not eat meat. Because meat has blood. Besides the animal is not fasting. Except for cats. Fishes and crustaceans has blood as well. So what is the difference? The trees, plants and vegetables also have blood because they bleed. What is left for you to eat if you do not want to eat blood?
