Blood and the Bible

What does the Bible say about eating blood? When God allowed men to eat animal flesh he added, “But flesh with the life thereof, the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.” (Genesis 9:4) The Jewish law prohibited eating blood. “For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.” (Leviticus 17:14) When there was a question in the New Testament church about what parts of the Law of Moses should be required of non-Jewish members, the apostles made the following statement. “For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.” (Acts 15:28-29) The prohibition against eating blood had been repeated in all biblical times since God first allowed man to eat meat.5

Is it a sin to receive a blood transfusion? The Jehovah Witnesses use Acts 15:20 as one of the scriptures to justify their belief that having a blood transfusion is a SIN. Let's take a look at the verses in question in Acts 15, where James addresses brethren gathered whether  circumcision was necessary for salvation: "Therefore I (James) judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God, but that we write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood." (Acts 15:19-20, NKJV and emphasis throughout)

It is widely recognized that a doctrine or belief cannot be based upon only ONE Bible verse, as this would be the case if blood transfusions were the issue here named. Acts 15:20 is not referring to blood transfusions at all, but to EATING or DRINKING blood, based upon: "'This shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: you shall EAT neither fat nor blood.'” (Leviticus 3:17)

You may notice that out of four items named in the Scripture you are referring to, three concern eating: "things polluted by idols" (meats sacrificed to idols, see 1 Corinthians 10:18-28), things "strangled" and "blood." The Bible says to abstain from them, meaning not to eat them at all. Some people fry blood until it solidifies and eat it. Others, even more grossly, drink blood. This is what God forbids. It has to do with eating and subsequently passing it through the digestive system.

Transfusion is an entirely different matter which the Bible doesn't specifically mention. In those days the medical technology was not available to perform blood transfusions. This medical practice isn't any more of a sin than having an operation, a root canal performed on one of your teeth, and so on.7
