How could anyone allow their child to die because of religion?
I'm sorry but I would rather go to hell for all eternity than see my child die or live in pain due to not being given a blood transfusion. How can people do this based on a tiny section of the bible that was written at a time blood transfusions didn't exist? The passage refers to ingesting blood, not using blood somebody has willingly given up to save others. I would sooner burn for eternity than let my child suffer!

It is an abhorrent and unnatural doctrine to demand a parent kill their child. I'm sorry but to me denying them a chance at life is murder.

The bible doesn't restrict blood transfusions, so anyone saying that isn't following scripture. The only people who call themselves Christians & believe that as far as I know are Jehovah's Witnesses. Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult that does not practice true biblical Christians.

If you don't bring up your child with the knowledge of God you may unknowingly be a willing party to it's death.
A million people will die this week. Most are making plans for the future. Your child will ultimately be one of them..... aren't you concerned where s/he will spend eternity?
Know God so you AND your descendants can live.
PS. I was hospitalized for four days and had three blood transfusions recently. Stop judging others.... because you WILL be judged (by God) with the exact same measure you use.

Watchtower teaches their followers that receiving life-saving fluids and eating are one in the same. That Watchtower followers can receive non-whole blood products is something to note. They consume many, many liters of blood each year although they do not contribute to the blood supply. Bloodless surgery is certainly an advancement; however, it is of no use to people suffering traumatic injuries with critical losses of blood.
It is not uncommon for cults to quote scripture. Note that even Satan could quote scripture (Matthew 4:5-7). The difference is to consider scripture both in context in its entirety.
It is not against God or His word to save lives.
Peace be with you.

The medical profession has Not know everything. Today so many doctor are so lazy and corrupt, it may be safer to Not even get to one. Everyone that dies of Cancer these days is really dying of the Cancer Treatment killing them!
A 100% all natural cure for all Cancer's was discovered in the 1940s!~ Drugs companies cannot make any money from it So they paid our Congress off to pass a law making "natural cures" for Cancers Illegal in the USA!
Yet you belong to the religion of only doing what drug companies want!!

The idea that anyone would ever have to chose between allowing a child to die or going to Hell is primitive, disgusting and the result of ignorance and superstition. People should free themselves from this man-made mental illness.

Jesus said that you have to drink His blood.
All people have soul, body, and spirit.
In animals, blood substitutes soul.
That's why you're forbidden to drink animal blood. Animals don't have spirit.
You're forbidden to drink human blood (like during blood transfusion) because sins transfer.
You're told to drink blood of Jesus (because He's sinless) so that your sins are forgiven.
Dogs are not allowed in your home and your church because the Holy Spirit will leave.
Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael.
