Bible Question: jehovah witnesses do not give blood because the bible says you should not drink blood and because hospitals sometimes feed us through tubes , they say it is the same thing as drinking it. How do I counter |
Bible Answer: The scriptures silent on blood transfusion, the teaching about blood in acts 15 are we dont eat blood, this commandments are repeatedly mentioned in OT. About blood transfusions, we are not eating the blood to make our self full or because we we are hungry, it is help savings life. We can cure someone by giving our blood. It is the same we donating parts of the body, eyes. kidney or heart because we want to help. Sacrificial I must say. Ro 16:3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: Ro 16:4 Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. It that passages above, paul mentioned names of those people who sacrifice for his safety those are sacrifice. Donating blood sometimes is sacrifice. Here in the Philippines, dengue fever is one of the most dangerous virus, especially children and elderly person. This kind of sickness is very painful, make the nose of the patient bleed, lips crack, intestines bleed and eventually will destroy the cell of patient brain and of coure die! Until now there is no vaccine that can cure that viruses, the only solution we have right now is blood transfusion no other cure yet. For if someone in your family will have this virus, then the doctor told you that the only cure is blood tansfusion, do you think you just ignore it and watch your family member die in very painful way? Again the scriptures is silent about blood tansfusions bur scriptures ok in sacrifce, help savings someone lives. God bless, |
