Witness blood and covenant throughout the Bible:  H1818 dam blood or figuratively wine. H1285 bĕriyth alliance, pledge, constitution, agreement, pledge between Yahweh and men
Exodus 24:8; Ezekiel 44:7; Hebrews 9:18-20, 10:29, 12:24

In the process of studying of the Bible we have to consider and remember to keep the scripture in its context and setting.  If we take the scripture out of its setting reading without the full understanding--choosing to find meaning for us in our current day and age we, will miss the point.  The pagan practices of worship to idols and pagan gods were done for the fertility of children, livestock and crops.  This was a reliance in other ways for life.  This is why Yahweh is against these practices for trust in anyone other than Him.  He created and designates the times and seasons.  Certainly these same sex, sex with animals and temple prostitution are also found with the pagan practices for the purpose of producing more children.  Yet we have over the years lost the primary purpose for these acts yet they are still practiced.  Does that change the original purpose that was sought in the beginning?  Are the warnings and instructions made invalid for the many passing of years?  Who is really in control over production of offspring?  When we take the reigns from Yahweh, or so we think--are we overstepping our position?  To hear this teaching again click here.
