Oh ye of little Shakespearean knowledge! No wonder Watchtower is full of crap writings.
A good olde Black pudding of blood is nothing to do with sacrifice........ you foolish regurgitator of blooded words.
I say He, because it begins a sentence with a capital letter, but there is no he. I really hope you don't have children..... I really do, for their sakes. Then again, if somebody abuses them I'm sure you'd be last in the queue of accusers. 🙁

Blood is used to save lives. Why should Christ prohibit anyone from saving another's life? Didn't Christ speak about saving the life of others, like the story of the good Samaritan? Satan is the one that comes to destroy lives. Christ has come that we might have life and have it more abundantly. He came to sacrifice His blood to save the lives of as man ...[text shortened]... t the using of blood to save lives.

It is a shame that you waste your life by teaching against the truth instead of in favor of it.

Originally posted by galveston75You know, in some other threads I have been trying to bring more awareness toward how religious ethics can tend to retard both moral development and autonomous maturation. Since you're obviously quite retarded in just this sense, you're now officially my poster child for this movement.
God's view of ones blood compared to any other part of a human body is different. In God's eyes it is the life of that person.
“For the soul of the flesh is in the blood, and I myself have put it upon the altar for you to make atonement for your souls, because it is the blood that makes atonement by the soul in it.” (Le 17:11)
For like reason, but pect the life process that he has given us and understands much more then we will ever know..

At any rate, I feel that any reasonable person could not help but feel sorry for you. That's why you're officially my poster child.

Try these then to get a better clearification...
Acts 15:28-29 (NLT): “For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay no greater burden on you than these few requirements: You must abstain from eating food offered to idols, from consuming blood or the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality. If you do this, you will do well. Farewell.”
Seems clear to me. Thanks for this quote.

If a child of mine needed a transfusion to survive, I would not hesitate. That goes for myself or anyone I love. The command is clear, abstain, the meaning is clear with old testament reference meaning eating blood. This sounds like a restriction to salvation. Is it not by grace, through faith? Are you saying we are saved by faith in Christ ....but....? We are no longer under law. Why do you wish to put people back under it?

Originally posted by FMFAnd that one is correct in what it says about eating blood but it did not express the full content of God's decree. All the others I've shown do. So take the one if you like it and it fits your view or look at the others to get the better and unalterd explination. Your decision...
It is the bible quote that you gave to me.

Originally posted by galveston75The issue of "eating blood" is quite clearly the only issue here. Your organization has told you that blood transfusions are forbidden, which is their prerogative, you have accepted this interpretation, which is your prerogative, but you have been completely unable to make your case in this forum - to the point that you've even provided a bible quote that undermines what you're saying.
