Your blood carries oxygen and nutrients to all parts of your body. Blood transfusions replace blood that is lost through surgery or injury or provide it if your body is not making blood properly. You may need a blood transfusion if you have anemia, sickle cell disease, a bleeding disorder such as hemophilia, or cancer.
However, blood transfusion is a sin according to the Bible as the Jehovah Witnesses believe. Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that a human must not sustain his life with another creature’s blood, and they recognize no distinction “between taking blood into the mouth and taking it into the blood vessels.”
It is their deep-seated religious conviction that Jehovah will turn his back on anyone who receives blood. They believe that the Bible (Genesis 9:4, Leviticus 17:10, and Acts 15:29) prohibits ingesting blood and that Christians should therefore not accept blood transfusions or donate or store their own blood for transfusion, see what the Bible actually says.
In Genesis 9:4, God allowed Noah and his family to add animal flesh to their diet after the Flood but commanded them not to eat the blood. God told Noah: “Only flesh with its soul—its blood—you must not eat.” This command applies to all mankind from that time on because all are descendants of Noah.
Leviticus 17:14 also reads; “You must not eat the blood of any sort of flesh, because the soul of every sort of flesh is its blood. Anyone eating it will be cut off.” God viewed the soul, or life, as being in the blood and belonging to him. Although this law was given only to the nation of Israel, it shows how seriously God viewed the law against eating blood.
Also in Acts 15:20.m, it reads; “Abstain . . . from blood.” God gave Christians the same command that he had given to Noah. History shows that early Christians refused to consume whole blood or even to use it for medical reasons.
Blood represents life and is sacred to God. When a Christian abstains from blood, they are in effect expressing faith that only the shed blood of Jesus Christ can truly redeem them and save their life. Blood must not be eaten or transfused, even in the case of a medical emergency.
