Faith

 Faith is important. Without faith it is impossible to please God. Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. So how do you increase your faith should be a question that every Christian asks at least once in his or her life. 

Thankfully God tells us how to increase our faith. Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

So basically, reading our Bibles increase our faith. We need to read and hear the Word of God every day. Just going to church 1 or 2 times a week is not enough to really increase our faith. Remember you must have faith to please God, and it is given to them that diligently seek him. Diligently implies that you are seeking God 7 days a week. You must be willing to spend time in God's word to grow in faith and develop spiritual maturity. Diligently seeking God shows that you want a relationship with him. Just as you talk with your friends regularly, you must talk with God regularly. You talk to him through prayer. You listen to Him by hearing- reading His word. Forgetting to hear and learn His Word, leads to a lack of knowledge of His Word. Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Can Christians Eat Blood?

There are many people who like to eat meat that has been cooked rare. There are some people in this world who use blood as a filling in Sauage meat. Is this permittable according to the Bible? 

•  Genesis 9:3-6 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

• Leviticus 17:12-16 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. 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. 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.  And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.

• Leviticus 19:26  Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

• Deuteronomy 12:23-25  Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh. Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water. Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord.

• Acts 15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

• Acts 15:29 hat ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

• Acts 21:25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.

From these scriptures it is plain to see that the refrain from eating blood part of the Law is still in effect even for gentiles. That rule was implemented by God from the time of the flood. It was restated under the law of Moses and the Apostles restated it, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, as a requirement for the gentiles. 

Yes, people today still eat blood. See this website for information about blood Sauage.  What Is Blood Sausage Made Of, And What Does It Taste Like?
