"Life" in sexual immorality verse

Image
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?

Is "same-sex marriage" immoral?

How do you treat " same-sex marriage " , including " oral sex " , Filipino dialect's " kumakain ng hilaw na karne " or " eating uncooked meat ", sodomy and reproductive health law in terms of morality. Do we have available bases in the scripture to help us decide?  A series of articles shall be published to  specifically touch on specific Genesis verses.  The participation of United States through "same-sex marriage" shall also be discussed. This includes the Philippine reproductive health law and its repercussions.   To forewarn, the author will be very thankful if nothing significant will happen this coming April 2014 . He has his basis but will be affirmed only at that time. When the author says April 2014, he is referring to a month and year, not hours or days. In this introductory topic, immorality will be touched by starting with Genesis verses on "eating meat with blood still in it".
