@Omega_Variant @ColPeatGuano @KonataWagner @IlDuWuce @cowanon @d0c40r0 @MisterLister Your post is literally an example of the challenges faced by Sola Scriptura. The context of prohibitions on cannibalism and drinking blood would've been known to Old Testament Religion practitioners— the law specifically prohibited consuming blood because it was associated with pagan worship (also why you don't eat strangled animals). Without understanding through extrabiblical sources, your explanation is correct. I believe the average OTR practitioner understood the reason for not consuming blood per their priests/rabbis. I think cannibalism is mentioned because it's unclean and unsafe, but also pagan ritualism.
