See what a brother to the woman who died because her church doctrine does not permit blood transfusion said.
Moses Odiketa, a brother to Ozor Peace Euodia, the young lady who died during childbirth because she refused blood transfusion has been exchanging words with people after they had criticized his
late sister for not accepting blood transfusion because of church (Jehovah's witness) doctrines.
After a lot of people said what his sister did was unreasonable, he had to answer them because for him, it was too much. According to Moses, it was not a bad thing but a good thing that she kept her faith which means she died for what she believed in. He added that her death is an honour to their family.
"It is an honour to us. To you, it's your shame." he had told someone who said it was a shame for her (Peace) to die like that.
When someone else said she'll explain to God when she gets to heaven, he countered that she is not going to heaven, since she will be resurrected on earth in the new world (obviously another belief). May God help us all. Read some comments below:

Am glad she is now resting now, we are gladly waiting for the time when jehovah will resurrect her, John 5:28. she died in faith, Jehovah will never forget his righteous followers
ReplyDeleteDear sister, you stood firm even though death came knocking; You chose to Obey God rather than Men; May the rest of us who respect the life giver remain courageous even in the face of death and no amount of abuse, intimidation, frustration or fear will make us give in to accepting blood in violation of God's clear command. Acts 15:20;29
ReplyDeleteThank you for making Jehovah proud...
I took my time to read through all the comments and I was amazed. Not a single one of you who supports blood transfusion quoted a scripture from the bible, not a single person. Are you wiser than God? If U are so sure that taking blood transfusion is ok by God, why not use the scriptures?
I am not surprised, after all Jesus made it clear that Broad & Spacious is the road that leads to destruction, and many are the ones passing through it. (Matt 7:13)
Are U surprised by the overwhelming majority insulting JWs and who think "Transfusion" is ok thereby justifying it??? These same people have forgotten what Jesus said in Mattew 16:25:"For whoever wants to save his life* will lose it, but whoever loses his life* for my sake will find it." (Read also Mark 8:35)
Is there anyone who can add a minute to his/her life? None, which is what Jesus said in Matt 6:27: "Who of you by being anxious can add one cubit* to his life span?"
Please take Ur time to read all cited or quoted scriptures in your bible again. That was why Abraham was ready to sacrifice ISAAC knowing fully well that Jehovah the life giver could resurrect him or even give him another son. That is "FAITH" in action.
Lesson from Jesus: "Obeying God's Law is better than Sacrifice" - Its not about sentiments, neither is it about us "Trying to SAVE our lives", but its about what God wants & Approves.
So before U start ranting & insulting, maybe U should take your time to do some research and come up with constructive reasonings especially based on the bible.
You all will rather listen to the Pastors & Bishops who will tell you what you want to hear (Read 2Tim 4:3) and allow you do whatever you like so all of you can keep coming to church and enriching them by paying tithes. ()
If Jesus had been alive today, these same set of people (You know yourselves) will think He is insane and would be part of those who will stone him to death for saying something "they don't want to hear" like "ABSTAIN from BLOOD". Jesus warned his followers that the world would "HATE" them, especially if you don't Agree with their ideologies, the evidence is clear here. (Read John 15:18, 19)
Back to the matter on ground, obviously the majority are not interested in thinking, let alone reasoning, but lets see if some of you will give way to humility & common sense or what is called "Intellectual Honesty" for better understanding.
BLOOD represents "life" and is unique to each person just like a finger print, hence, the one who gave life said in simple terms as stated Leviticus 17:14: "For the life of every sort of flesh is its blood, because the life is in it. Consequently, I said to the Israelites: “You must not eat the blood of any sort of flesh because the life of every sort of flesh is its blood. Anyone eating it will be cut off.” (or Destroyed).
In Acts 15:20,29, the Greek word for Abstain means "avoid", "keep yourselves from", there were no exceptions at all. "Abstain from Blood".
So for the records, all who fear God would avoid taking "BLOOD" in any form, not only in obedience to God but also out of respect for him as the Giver of life.
