:::Maybe since He has the ability to see the Big Picture much clearer than we do, allows him to forbid blood to be used for the
temporary extention of present life
Hi Noggin,
Exactly the point. The big picture is in Lev 17: 15 which says that exceptions to the rule are; don't waste life. You can eat blood in some circumstances - then recognise God's law by a ritual cleaning. Modern application surely must be blood transfusion.
