thousands of people also die or get diseases from having blood people arnt just left to die because they refuse blood. there are other options if you read my link you will see do you think that every jw that has a major operation dies as a result of not having blood.. your blood is unique to you. i may have the same blood group as you but our blood is not the same e.g d.n.a starbird x x x

so belle do you truely believe that the blood they use is clean & safe. it says to abstain from blood any blood if its not ok to eat it surely its not ok to have a strangers blood running through your veins. the soul is in the blood... as i said there are others things they can use in transfusions that are safe and are used on a regular basis.. please click on undefined starbird x x x

why is it "nuts" please tell.. starbird x x x

what the bible says about blood: the bible tells us to abstain from blood: "every moving animal that is alive may serve as food for you. as in the case of green vegitation, i do give it all to you. only flesh with its soul - its blood -you must not eat" {gen 9:3,4} "to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication. if you carefully keep yourselves from these things you will prosper. good health to you" {acts 15:29} does the bibles prohibition include human blood? the early christians understood it that way. "keep abstaining from blood" it does not say merely to abstain from animal blood. "as for any man of the house of israel or some alien resident who is residing in your midst who eats any sort of blood, i shall certainly set my face against the soul that is eating the blood, and i shall indeed cut him off from among his people" {lev 17:10} is a transfusion the same as eating blood? in a hospital, when a patient cannot eat through his mouth he is fed intravenously. so if we are to not eat blood is it acceptable to have it intravenously. are we then not following the command to keep abstaining from blood? all types of surgery can be performed successfully without blood transfusions. this includes open heart surgery, brain surgery, amputations, and total removal of cancerous organs. if there is severe blood loss the greatest need is to restore the fluid volume, plasma volume expanders that contain no blood can be used for that. starbird x x x

"you heard that i said to you, iam going away and i am coming back to you. if you loved me, you would rejoice that i am going my way to the father, because the father is greater than i am" {john14:28} "jesus spoke these things, and, raising his eyes to heaven, he said "father, the hour has come; glorify your son, that your son may glorify you" {john 17:1,3,5} "a revelation by jesus christ, which god gave him" {rev 1:1} "jesus said to them: if god were your father, you would love me, for from god i came forth and am here, neither have i come on my own initiative at all but that one sent me forth" {john 8:42} "next the end when he hands over the kingdom to his god and father" {1corinthians 15:24} "for he must rule as king till god has put all enemies under his feet" {1 corinthians 15:25} starbird x x x

hi TheEvan. i havnt ever been involved in the way, in fact i'd never heard of it till i came here false religion is not one particular religion its a collective of religions from what i know of the way i'd say they're part of that collective. along with: pentecostal baptist catholic methodist mormons muslim hindu siekhs any religion that lets pagan practices and false teachings interfere with pure worship of god. starbird x x x

jesus declared...."it is jehovah your god you must worship,and it is to him ALONE you must render sacred service" {matthew 4:10} starbird x x x

he said O god....not my god starbird x x x

thats fine darling... most of my posts and replys have not been based on my own opinion, i use the scriptures to prove a point.. and of course it is up to you to find for yourself the answers. based on scriptural evidence.. love starbird x x x

simple answer potato baby....no.. jesus is gods son. god is jesus's father holy spirit is gods active force.. love starbird x x x

"every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven. and whoever says a word against the son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the holy spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come" {matthew. 12:31,32} if the holy spirit were a person and were god, this text would flatly contradict the trinity doctrine, because it would mean that in some way the holy spirit was greater than the son. instead, what jesus said shows that the father, to whom the "spirit" belonged is greater than jesus the son of man. "jesus said to her {mary magdelene} do not hold me, for i have not yet ascended to my father; but go to my brethren and say to them, i am ascending to my father and your father,to MY GOD and your god" {john.20:17} so to the resurrected jesus, the father was god, just as the father was god to mary magdelene. interestingly, not once in the scriptures can you find the father addressing the son as "my god" starbird x x x

jesus is not god he is the son... when jesus was being baptized god said this is my son the beloved whom i have approved. your saying god is wrong? also didnt god say that know one sees him and lives.. they all work together but are seperate... starbird x x x

are you saying that jesus is god??????? "concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens NOR THE SON, but only the father." {matt.24:36} if they were both the same jesus would've known the day and the hour. starbird x x x

oh perleeze. why do you have to make things so complicated, the bibles really not that complicated. love starbird x x x

what are some of the outstanding bible prophecies that are yet to be fulfilled? "whenever it is that they are saying: peace and security! then sudden destrution is to be instantly upon them just as the pang of distress upon a pregnant woman; and they will by no means escape" {thess.5:3} "the ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire" {rev.17:16} "the kingdom {set up by god}....will crush and put an end to all these {human} kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinate" {daniel.2:44} "i shall certainly magnify myself and sanctify myself and make myself known before the eyes of many nations; and they will have to know that i am jehovah" {ezek.38:23} "and i saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. and he seized the dragon, the original serpant, who is the devil and satan, and bound him for a thousand years. and hurled him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, that he might not mislead the nations anymore untill the thousand years were ended. after these things he must be let loose for a little while" {rev.20:1-3} "do not marval at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgement" {john.5:28,29} "i heard a loud voice from the throne say: look! the tent of god is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. and god himself will be with them and he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. the former things have passed away" {rev.21:3,4} "next the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his god and father...but when all things will have been subjected to him, then the son himself will also subject himself to the one who subjected all things to him, that god may be all things to everyone" {1 cor.15:24-28} "man must not live, on bread alone, but on every utterance coming forth through gods mouth" {matt.4:4} that includes his grand prophetic promises. starbird x x x

thanks for looking this up. starbird x x x

niether the word trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the new testament, nor did jesus and his followers intend to contradict the shema in the old testament: "hear o israel: the lord our god is one lord {deut.6:4} the doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies.. by the end of the 4th century..the doctrine of the trinity took substantially the form it has maintained ever since.. christianity derived from judaism and judaism was strictly unitarian{believing that god is one person} "going a little further he {jesus} fell on his face and prayed, my father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as i will, but as thou wilt" {matthew26:39} if the father and the son were not distinct individuals, such a prayer would have been meaningless. jesus would have been praying to himself, and his will would of necessity have been the fathers will. {jesus answered the jewish pharisees} in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true; i bear witness to myself, and the father who sent me bears witness to me"{john 8:17,18} so jesus definately spoke of himself as being an individual seperate and distinct from the father. starbird x x x

You are standing at the door, fumbling with your keys. It is cold and dark and your eager to get inside - but the key does not work. it looks right, yet the lock will not budge. you look at your keys again, are you using the right one? has someone damaged the key? that is a fair picture of what this worlds religious confusion has done with the knowledge of god. in affect many have tampered with the key that opens it up to our understanding - jesus christ. some religions have removed the key , ignoring jesus altogether. others have distorted jesus' role worshiping him as almighty god. in any case, the knowledge of god is closed to us without an accurate understanding of this principal figure, jesus christ. "this means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true god, and the one you sent forth, jesus christ" {john 17:3} starbird x x x
