Forum rules Matt ; Eccl ; 1 Pet If you're not sure what they say then please hover over them with your mouse or look them up in your own Bible before posting. Which, I must admit, leaves me terribly confused!
I honestly cannot understand how a person can take blood fractions and at the same time be "abstaining from blood". Acts29 28 For the holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to you except these necessary things: 29 to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols, from bloodfrom what is strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper.

Good health to you! I welcome anyone who can assist me with the complexity of this issue, and I especially would like to hear from one of Jehovah's Witnesses if their happens to ethics nanotechnology one what are the basic beliefs of jehovah witness this thread. Please know that I too want to obey God and to do whatever He wills, but in order to do so I must first be able to understand it. Re: Help!!!

Are there minor parts of someone else's car that I can take without permission that do not qualify as stealing? And what if some religious authority says that it is up to me to decide if the small part that I want constitutes stealing or not? Would that really change anything? The issue is a bit more difficult to reason on because the WT classifies blood as having major and minor fractions. According to WT teaching, major fractions are belefs outright, but minor fractions are your choice according to your conscience.
The fact is though, the Bible says nothing about blood fractions in any form.

Not one word. At this point I will leave this particular topic for you to reason on based on how you see things. What I said above is premised on the idea that "abstain from blood" applies to the medical use of it. Or why couldn't an Israelite under the Law just drain a pint of his best bull's blood and take it to the altar for offering? Why did Jesus and the bull have to first die?]
