perplexed Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 yes I read it but it is normal that people don't want you to have something done because it will harm you Sorry, I don't understand your reply there. I don't mean in an existential way, I literally don't understand it. Nobody is saying anything about a treatment which would harm you. Your faith is blind faith, whereas family is real and tangible.

If my faith said I couldn't have a specific treatment and why , then i would obey what God says rather than man. The reason God has told people not to have a blood transfusions is simple blood contains illnesses that I may not have . God is part of my family and God protects me.

SnailyBoy Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) If my faith said I couldn't have a specific treatment and why , then i would obey what God says rather than man. The reason God has told people not to have a blood transfusions is simple blood contains illnesses that I may not have . God is part of my family and God protects me. Where in the Bible does it say that? Also in an earlier post you wrote "I believe God gave us medical helpers , he imparts the knowledge into that person , to bring healing" So if you feel that your god gave medical knowledge to a person and that person said you needed a blood transfusion, why would you refuse?

I do believe that God gave us medical helpers but I also believe that some of the treatments are actually going to far , if I were needing a transfusion I would refuse as blood carries infections that I do not wish to be exposed to this .

If you feel that some treatments are going too far, isn't that the fault of your god for giving the knowledge to medical science? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
