10:4) and its various implications, restrictions and natural results as they are all
connected in one Law (Deut 11:26-28, Mat 5:18, Rom 10:4, Jam 2:10).

Blood & Vegetarianism

Under the Law, blood itself, or meat, is not a problem (Acts 10:13) rather the
problem is eating (Acts 15:20, 29) or being sprinkled in the blood (Acts 15:20, 29)
of that which is sacrificed to idols (Acts 15:20, 29). As this is all about the Law,
there is per se no applicability of any of this to the Christian (Rom 10:4). Physical
idols themselves, that is representations of gods (Deut 32:16) and spirits (Lev 26:1,
Deut 32:16-17), have no power (Jer 10:5).

Tradition

Tradition is irrelevant for Christians, it has no authority to act as a guide (Mat
15:3-9, Mark 7:1-8). The traditions of men were against the Law also (Mat 15:3-9,
Mark 7:1-8).

Applicability

Under the Law whatever actions of the Jews, Christians or others, are instituted in
the Word as commandments or actions to be emulated, these become part of the
Law and the Prophets (Deut 28:58, 61, 29:20-21, 27, 30:10, 31:26, 2 Kings 22:13,
2 Chron 34:21, Esher 9:27, Rev 22:18-19).

Any commandment issued by the Word issued to an individual applies for the
reader or hearer of the Word today and forever (Hos 1:2, 3:1, Deut 20:16, Mat
24:35, Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33, Rev 22:18-19). Not every commandment in the
Word is issued by the Word (Dan 6:7), this is to be discerned by interpretation by
the Holy Ghost (1 Cor 2:11-15).

THE SUPERNATURAL

Reincarnation

Reincarnation does occur (Job 1:21, Eccl 3:19-21, 8:8, 11:5, 1 Pet 4:6) and is
called the spirit 'going downward to the earth' and is part of the vanity of vanities
