If I needed a rib (which produces red blood cells for life = blood transfusion) put into me or anything for that matter, what would be the difference if god put it in or man? Since god did it with Eve from Adam then why couldn't a surgeon follow by example and be able to do the same? Namely saving a life. God didn't have to use the rib, he could make anything out of nothing (dust) yet here he was showing how precious life truly is by making Eve out of that blood infused rib. First blood transfusion recorded in the bible.
I wasn't going to argue with a surgeon or my oncologists thinking I knew more than these specialists who went to school to get an education. What do I know? Why would I make their jobs harder than need be? If you feel this way then stay away from doctors and hospitals. You think you know more than the educated yet your religion tells others not to pursue an education. None of your leaders have an education and admit they are not guided by holy spirit. How in the world can you let yourself be guided by blind guides who keep changing their policies???
Please do your research first on the imperfect men that make these unscriptural rules up, then on the history of where they came from. Your on the right path being here. Everyone here are here for you if you have any questions you would like answered. It's always good to look at both sides of the coin. Don't be shy in asking. Some of us are hurt and trying to heal so don't take it personal if we come off rather harsh. I know I did. I just finished watching the show Apostacy and every last bit of it was true. You can watch it on 123 Movies. Go to search and punch in Apostacy.
Wish you the best, my friend and by the way, I lost my brother when he was eleven and I was ten due to their no blood policy. A few years later my mother took her life on the very same day my brother had died. She couldn't live with what she had allowed. Fifty years later if she were a live, I wonder what she would think of the religion that let her down. No one supported us at all in our darkest hour back then. The org is blood guilty on so many levels due to their flawed thinking. And now I go through a tragic experience myself and when I called out for support from my family there was nothing. And these are christians????
