Blood on a steak when it was not supposed to be there… I wiped it away, so was it OK and I consumed none of the blood?

[QUOTE="ViaCrucis, post: 77467887, member: 293637"] First of all, it's not blood. When cattle are slaughtered they are drained of their blood before being butchered or sold to butchering shops. The steak you ordered was 100% free of blood. What a lot of people think is "blood" is myoglobin and water. Myoglobin is a protein found in muscle tissue that gives the muscles in many animals that red color, it's why red meat is [I]red[/I] meat. When you buy meat at the supermarket the red juices surrounding the raw meat is a mix of myoglobin and water which has come out of the meat. When you cook a steak more can come out during the cooking process. It's not blood. Second of all, Christianity doesn't have dietary restrictions like this. In Christianity these dietary restrictions are understood to have been part of God's covenant with the Jewish people, so outside of Judaism there's no restrictions on what you can eat except that which is dictated by your own conscience (Romans 14:1-10, Colossians 2:16-19). The Apostolic Council of Jerusalem described in the 15th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles provided certain measures to help facilitate the welcoming of Gentile converts to Christianity that focused on two things: Providing counsel to refrain from certain Pagan practices and to reject the claims by some that Gentiles must convert to Judaism in order to be Christians. One should take note that the Apostolic Council forbids the eating of food sacrificed to idols; and later on Paul writes that whether one eats such food or not is a matter of conscience and personal discernment (1 Corinthians 10:25-33) You could eat [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_pudding']black pudding[/URL] and it would be fine--as long as you do so with a free and clear conscience before God. And anyone who would claim to speak for God in judging or condemning you for it would be the one sinning. What you eat and drink is between you and God and is nobody else's business. -CryptoLutheran [/QUOTE]
