Interpretation of Acts 15:28,29

by Christianhonest in

what does the mandate to "abstain from blood" mean for jehovah's witnesses freed from the control of the governing body?.

it had previously been understood that the best translation of acts 15: 28-30 was "to abstain from blood.

" however, a careful analysis of the passage shows that the best translation of this passage is "to abstain from (shedding) blood," where the word "pour out," which does not appear in ancient manuscripts and other biblical versions, does.it appears there understood in elliptical form.in the same way it happened in the case of colossians 1: 16-20 where the new world translation of the holy scriptures correctly inserted the word "other" several times, understood there in elliptical form, in the phrase of the original greek "all things ", thus obtaining the correct translation" all (other) things ".even though christianity reaffirms itself in translating this passage as saying that "through him all things were created", because he maintains that jesus is god according to his pagan doctrine of the trinity, multiple biblical passages sustainthe biblical truth that jesus is not jehovah god, but his beloved son that god later used as his creative partner.according to this paul said that "though he existed in the form of god, he did not give consideration to a usurpation, namely, that he should be equal to god, no, rather, he emptied himself and took the form of a slave and he came to be in the likeness of men, more than that, when he was in the manner of a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death, yes, death on a torture stake, for this same reason, also, god he exalted a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above all else, so that in jesus' name every knee of those [who are] in heaven and those who are [over] the earth and those [who are] under the ground, and openly recognize * every tongue that jesus christ is lord for the glory of god the father.

The eating‎ and transfusing are two different bodily processes. Blood which is eaten is digested

and ‏destroyed. Blood which is transfused is not eaten, digested, or destroyed. Why? Because

eating blood involves the body’s digestive system, and transfusion involves the circulatory

system.

A similar Watchtower teaching regarding the rejection of vaccinations, was classified as Biblical

truth in the 1930’s. However, Jehovah’s Witnesses today are free to receive vaccinations and

even encouraged to do so Will the doctrine on blood be changed also? The saddest fact is that

because of its present teaching on blood transfusions, the Watchtower has led many to a

pre-mature grave.

The Watchtower uses three main Scripture references in support of their theory. The first verse

is Genesis 9:4. Here a command is given that refers to “the eating of blood”, certainly not

receiving transfusions. Noah is commanded not to eat flesh that still had the blood in it; in

other words, animals not properly drained of blood. Their second “proof text” is found at

Leviticus 17:10-16. Again, we find reference to the actual eating of the blood of animals. These

verses are no way connected with transfusions between humans.

The final reference examined is Acts 15:20. Here it says to “abstain from things contaminated by

idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood.” We read in Acts 15:21,

“For Moses, from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, since he is read in

the synagogues every Sabbath.” It now becomes clear that abstaining from these four items is

referred back to the law of Moses in Leviticus 17. Therefore, we can see, beyond dispute, that

the abstaining from blood does in no way refer to receiving blood transfusions as the Watchtower's

interpretation wishes it to.

God forbade his ancient people to drink the blood of lower animals. It Is human blood that is

used in blood transfusion.

Drinking the blood of lower animals necessitates their death. Blood transfusions do not require

the death of those who donate their blood.

In Leviticus 17:10,11 we read: “And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the

strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face

against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. For the life

of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement

for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.” The expression,

“any manner of blood,” cannot be construed to include human blood, for human blood was not

offered on altars by Israel.

Just thought to share some research.

Introducing myself

by Leopold theseconed in

i have been introduced to this site by my new friends that are helping me navigate through the reality of waking up and finding out that i have been lied to my whole life.

i grew up in the truth and have given over thirty years to this organization and the few years i wasn’t there my mind was certainly trapped.

the more i think about it i am really not that surprised there was a lot along the way that should have woken me up but it took till recently.
