Bible and eating meat
Here's a passage that's apparently from the Christian Bible.
I cannot, for the life of me, tell if it's a real passage. I've searched all over Google, but to no avail.
"Wherefore I say to all those who desire to be disciples, keep your hands from bloodshed and let no flesh meat enter your mouths; for the Lord is just and bountiful; who ordains that man shall live by the fruits and seeds of the earth alone. I am in all creatures and all creatures are in me. In all their joys, I rejoice. In all their afflictions, I am afflicted." 38:1-6
I just need to know what book of the Bible this is.
(Blank 38:1) Just like that.
Thanks a lot in advance

I am with every person before this, and from my own reading of the Bible, I can pretty well tell you it is NOT from the Bible. Now there are bible passages that speak of what to eat/what not to eat that are located in the books of the Law (see Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy). But these laws for Christians do not apply since A. Christians do not follow the exact same eating regulations as Jews (because we believe that through Chris, the law is fulfilled and we no longer need to observe it as a literall means to please God, but rather as a curb and mirror to see our mistakes and flaws)) And B, in the book of Acts, God mad it known to the apostle Paul that the eating laws were no longer in affect, and all food could be consumed.
I believe all of that above it correct, I am bad with names and books of the bible but I can recall parts of it well. So go with what I said above if your confused, oh and everyone else who has answered before me, because I know they are right.
I hope this helps.

I'm with Danger. A search of some 19 English version of the bible returned no results for the (consecutive) words 'flesh meat,' which seemed like a fairly unique word pair.

That's not a verse from the Christian Bible.

The verse you quote is apparently from some kind of writings that someone claims was found in a buddhist temple in Tibet, and they claim it was written by Christ. I would personally take it with a very large grain of salt.
But here are a couple of verses that are from the Bible, that might help:
"For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him." Romans 14:2-3
"And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man." Matthew 15:10-11
"And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man." Matthew 15:16-18
"And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, [it] cannot defile him;
Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
All these evil things come from within, and defile the man." Mark 7:18-23
