Does it say anywhere in jkv bible about persons recieving human organ transplant

Hi Dawn. No, you won't find any evidence of such advanced medical procedures in the Bible. People in those days who suffered organ failure would have just grown increasingly weak in body until death overtook them. They probably didn't even know what was causing their sickness & prolonged suffering. However, there were very elementary practises of alleviating medical problems, by using natural methods or whatever special foods or plants that were proven useful. We understand that Luke, a doctor ( Colossians 4:14) tended to give a little more emphasis on the medical side of situations, in his Gospel & Acts. But if one asked whether it was morally or biblically correct for a Christian to have an organ transplant, then one would have to be convinced in his/her own heart about the matter. Personally, I wouldn't have a problem with it, understanding that God has given man that ability to progress in the medical field for the general health & enjoyment of life of so many. How far man goes on with that knowledge (i.e. intruding into or altering God's Design), would be very wrong & he will have to give account of his actions one day.

Hi Dawn, Don't forget the entire premise of US being grafted into the BODY of the messiah. Also we receive his blood for the remission of our sins. God Bless.
