Quote JW's do not have a monopoly on the whole blood transfusion thing.As far as I can tell, bloodless surgery is the future, because it is much safer. The difference between a good surgeon and a bad one is the amount of blood loss. More and more people are jumping on this bandwagon and demanding the best in medical care.

Quote Many say that Jesus came as a pre-existing spirit sonI don't think anyone says this Jodi.  Scripture plainly says Jesus “became flesh.”I think this scripture: “who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh” is speaking of people who do not believe Jesus came to the earth in human form, in the flesh.I have never heard anyone believe…[Read more]
