(well physically they are blood thirsty)who wants to disobey God. Thats the big disconnect. Also the instinct to live is a God placed instinct.
did you not see the wonderful illustration? please tell me if you are told to abstain from eating blood, why injecting it intravenously then becomes acceptable.
Doctor, Manfred you must not drink alcohol, ok Doctor that's fine, ill inject it intravenously! is that we you are saying? who is the one stretching the principle, you or I?

Not really. I think your organisation is scum. I am sure you have ensnared others with this specious reasoning. You tell them that blood transfusions carry multiple risks. You explain to them that there are alternative blood fractions (although I am sure you omit to mention that blood fractions also have risks.) You tell them that most cases do not require ...[text shortened]... of gullible people into thinking that you have saved their lives. It is really quite disturbing.

Context man..context.
Actually this comment was made while Paul and Barnabas were back in Jerusalem and with the congregation there and they we're discussing some points. Once they decided the correct view on these point a letter was sent to the Brothers in Antioch which was in Turkey.

Originally posted by menace71You know Manny every challenge you put in Robbies and my face we have completely WITH SCRIPTURES answered you. I'm not here to be tested and I'm tired of you and the others changing the subject once you can't find the answers biblically. Yes you all have tons of opinions but rarely respond with the Bible to back them up.

And for your information I can pull up more history, stats, and facts on any subject in the Bible then you could ever dream of.
Originally posted by menace71the bible states quite clearly, abstain from blood, at what point are you overriding that command, establishing your own prerogatives and ultimately dispensing with it in the case of blood transfusion? for that indeed is what you are now doing. If that is what the dictates of your conscience are telling you, then so be it, as for me personally, i would not want to deliberately contravene the commands of God, knowing what he has stated in his word of truth, even if it meant my life. I have a fervent and very real belief in the resurrection and no amount of temporary suffering can diminish that belief.
