Bible Question: I am doing a service learning intervention on the importance of organ donation. I have heard different views about where Christianity stands on this subject but I have not been able to find anything in the bible to support or oppose this topic. Can you help me in my search? |
Bible Answer: Organ donation is not bad if you do it to save life, The doctrine of Jehovas Witnesses stated that they are not allowed to donate blood, but it is not written that to donate blood is prohibited in the bible. The blood is prohibited to eat. In the bible there are passages that even the church members ready to sacrifice thier lives for others: 1Jo 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. We can sacrifice our lives to the benefit of others, organ donation indeed sometimes put the lives of the donors in danger, but if the motive is good (to save lives) I dont think God will prohibit that. Priscilla and Aquila helped Paul, take a look what paul said to them. 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. They ready to give thier own lives for the sake of paul. God bless, Johnny |
