[for me anyway] as it is written in (Acts 17:26) that God "hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth" and again (Matthew 9:12) "They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick."

The Lord Jesus Christ tells us exactly that which is common knowledge that some sick needs the doctor, and in common and practical knowledge we know very well that several medical conditions require a blood-transfusion, which is also under what Christ said: beside this because it is written that God has made of one blood all mankind, therefore we ought to except what He says, and deny what we think; for He is always right, while we are seldom.

Jesus is the great physician. He is not talking about doctors :p

Did a doctor heal this woman??? No, she spent her life running after
doctors, she spent all her money on them, and they did nothing for her.

Luke 8:43 (ESV)

And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her living on physicians, she could not be healed by anyone.

Mark 5:25-29

25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

A husband and his wife's blood mixes together to make a child.
Is there blood in sperm or the egg?

Unless a man and wife are cutting each other and sucking their blood, there's never any reason to swap blood as a body fluid.



Designer DNA, implants, transplants. No limit to what people will go to, for eternal life without God.

Is Peter Thiel here to guide us for God? Well this practice exists, so he must be, right?

Or the scientists who released this study:



Wow, cure Christianity & genocide white people at the same time! Science rocks!

If all blood is the same, why does a certain group have sickle cell blood?

Before transfusions, Christians would pray and either live or die according to God's will. I feel like people at that time were more faithful.

This is just silly. Who is talking about eating blood?
When you eat something it dies and goes through your digestive system and out.
Transfusion blood is basically living, and is used for healing.
What if a person stores up their own blood in prep for a surgery?
What if a believer receives another believers blood?
And all of this takes no account that we have freedom in Christ.

If you think receiving a transfusion is sinful, then by all means don't take one. But don't tell baby Christians transfusions are sinful for God sake!

I would suggest the problem lies with the word faith, as to how it is used to represent the eternal not seen in various parables.

2Co 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Like many denominations that seek after a sign as that seen as their personal source of faith .The life of the flesh is in the blood but thre is no life in literal blood without the life of the Spirit. It returns to the lifeless spiritless dust and water as the clay God can form Christ in. We have the treasure in these earthen bodies but it is not of us if it is of God.

Men a hundred years ago accused a person of not having faith because he was given prescription glasses its the same the JWs perform as well as Catholicism to mention two I would think of that do it boldly

2Co 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

We are not to eat blood as a metaphor used to represent the spirit not seen it was to be poured into the ground to return where it came from just as Christ’s blood was used to show he had given born again spirit life in jeopardy of his own spirit as he gave up the Holy Spirit that returned to the father who gave it in the parable unless you do drink the blood of Christ it was used in respect to the spirit and not the flesh which Christ says profits for nothing. In a parable of David typfing the Son of man thirsting for the living water of the gospel in the Old Testament.
the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate


I believe God helps to give us his understanding on what it means to drink blood. Which has nothing to do with literal blood transfusions

And David was then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD.And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men. Sa 23:14

the life is in the blood and thats why you dont mix it with others. the dark belief systems, Canaanites, Aztecs, they ate people and they did it to get that life into them.
The life is in the blood...That's why transfusions work. And guess who's idea transfusions were. Gods. No scripture for that but transfusions are good. And all good things come from above. If it gives or restores life it's good. James 1:17

NO You cannot eat blood but taking it into your blood system is not consuming Blood...You are using it though. There is the problem with intellectual learning vs Holy Spirit teaching...The truth vs legalism. What does the Word say?

Were you not hinting that eating blood is fine? If you wasn't, then fair enough.

Well. It is interesting to know that if some of the people in here had been my parents I wouldn't have survived long after my birth.

As for diseases? I'd be more worried about needles, nails, glass and other things that people throw about and that you might randomly step on and get an infection, than about blood that has been screened. I'd be dead without it.

OK, then get a body transplant, sickle cell blood, designer DNA and robotic implants.
hyperbole, much?

your "points" are pretty much, well.... pointless.

Gross. So before 1628 everything was terrible and backwards, but after that, things really brightened up? Everything is so progressive now that we have a stranger's blood in our veins.
well.... yes....

Average life expectancy at birth for English people in the late 16th and early 17th centuries was just under 40 – 39.7 years.

Help me understand here.....Are you saying that you would be willing to stand there, and watch your mother die, when she could be saved by a transfusion and live?

Whaaaat? NOOOOOOOOOOO! Am i THAT bad at expressing myself? :(

I am saying that when I was born I needed a blood transfusion,
and that if the people here who are against transfusions had been my parents I assume they would have let me die

If the anti-Christ offered you a pill containing satanic DNA and said it would prolong your life, would you take it?

Keep in mind; 100% of doctors would agree that it's scientifically proven.

Answer honestly.
