Subject: Is it ok to eat animals for food |
Bible Note: As for the actual killing, the Jews developed methods of severing the veins, arteries, trachea, and nerves in the neck so that there is very little pain to the animal and death is almost instantaneous. This is one of the primary aspects of "kosher" food, where slaughter is overseen by a Rabbi to ensure that these measures are followed. And even in the New Testament, it is prohibited to take of the blood. (Acts 15:20,29) |
