"Life" in sexual immorality verse
Previously, readers were introduced to sexual immorality verse in the article entitled " Is "same-sex marriage" immoral ?". It was also asked whether the word "life" in Genesis 9:4 refers only to "human" life. In view of the present understanding of life, which includes animal life, there is a need to revisit the subject Genesis verse in order to know whether or not the life in verse 4 includes animal life. This will further guide to the real intention why the prohibition. The verse is restated, to wit; 4The one thing you must not eat is meat with blood still in it. I forbid this because the life is in the blood.( Genesis 9:4, TEV ) Let me discuss first on why life is material to the interpretation of the verse by way of asking question. Isn't it logical that if ever life in the verse is determined to refer only to human life, then the meat and blood being referred in the same verse belong only to human?
