Does the Bible say blood transfusion is against God's law?
Post #1Jehovah's Witnesses believe blood transfusions are against God's law. The usual supporting scriptures for this are Genesis 9:4, Leviticus 17:14 and Acts 15:20. However, reading these verses, it's pretty clear that eating blood is prohibited. So why do Jehovah's Witnesses object to blood transfusions?

Then you haven't bothered to really listen to what we're saying, nor to what the medical community itself is now saying.Justin108 wrote:I've said this a thousand times. While there are substitutes, the substitutes are not always viable. Sometimes blood is needed and when Jehovah's Witnesses refuse blood, then they don't care much about livingonewithhim wrote: If you haven't gone to the hospital web-sites that I provided links to, to show what the advantages are to blood substitutes, please don't keep accusing me and others of not caring about life. If you just didn't see them, here they are again....and these are just two of hundreds.
