Which part of the bible dose it say that we should not accept help to live in the form of a blood transfusion? Jehovahs witness take the dietary prohibition in Leviticus , not to eat blood and being also it cannot be taken in transfusion. Dietary law meant you could not eat some things, a medical procedure is not covered under this law. That's a Jehovah's Witnesses aberration. There was a case in the UK of a child who fell down a cliff in North East England. Her injuries weren't life threatening, but she had lost a lot of blood. Her parents, Jehovah's Witnesses, refused permission for a blood transfusion, but the doctors went ahead. The parents then said that they could not accept the child back into the family. If I remember correctly, the child was subsequently adopted. Blood transfusion is never mentioned in the Bible but it does say that blood represents God-given life and so is not to be eaten or drunk. God made a covenant with Noah and all his descendants (so that includes us) saying not to eat flesh with its blood. In the Old Testament, any Israelite breaking that law was to be stoned to death. Acts 15:28 and 29 - there are others also. Shortly after Christianity was founded some 2,000 years ago, believers were given the divine commandment to 鈥渁bstain from . . . blood.鈥?The prohibition was based, not on health concerns, but on the sacredness of blood. (Acts 15:19, 20, 29) Some argue that this God-given restriction applies only to the eating of blood, but the word 鈥渁bstain鈥?speaks for itself. If a doctor told us to abstain from alcohol, we would hardly feel at liberty to inject it into our veins. This is a JW misconception. The dietary law in Leviticus forbids eating meat with blood in it. JW's say a transfusion is 'eating blood' Utterly illogical. well in my bible (king James version-christian) it says it no where. at least i never saw it. in my church we took up collection for brother jay to get some kind of transplant idk i wasn't paying attention. but yea i never was taught that Only Jehovah's Witnesses believe so. Nowhere. This is a manmade religious law, there is no scripture which prohibits blood transfusion. Gen 9:4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat......but this verse is speaking of animal blood. it does not but old testament teaching is not to eat blood as the live is in the blood. Jehovah's Witnesses believe in that. My grandma is one (I'm not) and she said because "the blood is the spirit". It's stupid thought b/c she didn't even give me a text to prove her right. The bible doesn't say you cant have a blood transfusion but the Jehovah Witness believe that. |
