To abstain from ones own blood? Are you really serious?

To abstain from blood transfusions? Are you really serious?

Uh yes I am. I find no more reason to keep explaining this to you. This is my stand and it is scriptural. The Bible says what it says. I stick to that command from God. I have nothing else to expain to you. Good day.......

Coward! You still didn't answer my question! 😵


The Bible does not say abstain from blood transfusions. Indeed it no more says abstain from blood transfusions than it says abstain from your own blood...both are equally ridiculous.

Also for being told to abstain from blood there is a lot of blood in the bible. (Of course any cult is founded on misunderstood and twisted scriptures)

God told the Israelites to put blood on their door posts and He would passover them and spare them !! Blood. Exodus 24:6
Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and the other half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
Exodus 24:5-7 (in Context) Exodus 24

Exodus 29:20
You shall slaughter the ram, and take some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron’s right ear and on the lobes of his sons’ right ears and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the big toes of their right feet, and sprinkle the rest of the blood around on the altar.

and this is repeated in Exodus and Leviticus

So G-Man you really misunderstand the scriptures blood while yes sacred it means life and payment of sins and the types in the OT were to show us Christ who shed His Blood for our sins

And you obviously don't read all my posting as I mentioned this. I know your not paying attention as usual.

I think he is asking you to explain how that example is abstaining from blood or perhaps you would like to change your definition of what is meant by abstaining from blood.

I know exactly what he is asking and implying. He does not read the info and explinations I post on this subject. And obviously neither do you or you wouldn't have posted this.

If you both would slow down, read the post of everyone here, you just might get the answers you so easily miss.

But to explain it "again" God gave the clear command to abstain from blood in more then one location in the Bible. The only exceptions are in a sacrificial situation as these scriptures show that Manny posted. And to make this even clearer, this was God's command and the "only" exception he has ever made to humans to use blood.

Is this easy enough yet?

So your God wants you to abstain from blood when it comes to potentially life-saving medical procedures; but wants you to jump on the blood train when it comes to brutally slaughtering innocent animals. Your God obviously does not have His priorites straight. He may well be mentally impaired from what you have described.

Try employing some rational thought for a second. According to you God, the supposed epitome of love, justice and righteousness, strictly forbids you to use blood in ways that are known to save lives and instead orders you to use blood only in rituals of barbaric, heinous, gratuitous suffering and death aimed at appeasing His gigantic ego. Make sense to you? 🙄🙄🙄🙄

As technology has increased the need for whole blood products has diminished, for
many alternative procedures and recombinant alternatives are now available. I find it
ultimately ironic that one who often chides others for their apparent ignorance should
harp back to a medical procedure which has a well documented history of fatality, then
again, no matter how educated one professes to be, a willingness to look at
alternatives seems to be the remit of a few.

Yeah, we are all aware how intellectually honest you have been in assessing the medical evidence for the efficacy of blood transfusions. 🙄

You keep doing yourself disservice by bringing this up again and again. Have you forgotten that your stance against such procedures has, in fact, nothing to do with considerations of their medical efficacy or lack thereof?
