CHAPTER THIRTEEN A Godly View of Life How does God view life? How does God view abortion? How do we show respect for life? Who created all living things? “JEHOVAH is in truth God,” said the prophet Jeremiah. “He is the living God.” (Jeremiah 10:10) Furthermore, Jehovah God is the Creator of all living things. Heavenly creatures said to him: “You created all things, and because of your will they existed and were created.” (Revelation 4:11) In a song of praise to God, King David said: “With you is the source of life.” (Psalm 36:9) Life, then, is a gift from God. What does God do to sustain our lives? 2 Jehovah also sustains our lives. (Acts 17:28) He provides the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the land we live on. (Acts 14:15-17) Jehovah has done this in a way that makes life enjoyable. But to enjoy life to the full, we need to learn God’s laws and obey them. SHOWING RESPECT FOR LIFE How did God view the murder of Abel? 3 God wants us to have respect for life In the Mosaic Law, how did God stress the proper view of life? 4 Thousands of years later, Jehovah gave the people of Israel laws to help them to serve him acceptably. Because these laws were given through the prophet Moses, they are sometimes called the Mosaic Law. Part of the Mosaic Law said: “You must not murder.” (Deuteronomy 5:17) This showed the Israelites that God values human life and that people must value the lives of others. How should we view abortion? 5 What about the life of an unborn child? Well, according to the Mosaic Law, causing the death of a baby in its mother’s womb was wrong. Yes, even such a life is precious to Jehovah. (Exodus 21:22, 23; Psalm 127:3) This means that abortion is wrong. Why should we not hate our fellowman? 6 Having respect for life includes having the right view of fellow humans. The Bible says: “Everyone who hates his brother is a manslayer, and you know that no manslayer has everlasting life remaining in him.” (1 John 3:15) If we want everlasting life, we need to root out of our heart any hatred for our fellowman, because hatred is the root cause of most violence. (1 John 3:11, 12) It is vital that we learn to love one another. What are some practices that show a disrespect for life? 7 What about showing respect for our own life? People normally do not want to die, but some risk death for the sake of pleasure. For example, many use tobacco, chew betel nut, or take drugs for recreational purposes. Such substances harm the body and often kill the users. A person who makes it a practice to use these substances does not view life as sacred. These practices are unclean in God’s eyes. (Romans 6:19; 12:1; 2 Corinthians 7:1) To serve God acceptably, we have to give up such practices. Although doing so might be very hard, Jehovah can give us the needed help. And he appreciates the effort we make to treat our life as a precious gift from him. Why should we keep in mind the need to be safety conscious? 8 If we have respect for life, we will keep in mind the need to be safety conscious. We will not be careless and will not take risks just for pleasure or excitement. We will avoid reckless driving and violent or dangerous sports. (Psalm 11:5) God’s law for ancient Israel stated: “In case you build a new house [with a flat roof], you must also make a parapet [or, low wall] for your roof, that you may not place bloodguilt upon your house because someone falling might fall from it.” (Deuteronomy 22:8) In harmony with the principle set out in that law, keep such things as stairs in good condition in your home so that someone does not trip, fall, and get badly hurt. If you own a car, make sure that it is safe to drive. Do not let either your home or your car be a danger to you or to others. If we have respect for life, how will we treat animals? 9 What about the life of an animal? That too is sacred to the Creator. God permits the killing of animals to obtain food and clothing or to protect people from danger. (Genesis 3:21; 9:3; Exodus 21:28) However, being cruel to animals or killing them just for sport is wrong and shows utter disregard for the sacredness of life. SHOWING RESPECT FOR BLOOD How has God shown that there is a link between life and blood? 10 After Cain killed his brother Abel, Jehovah told Cain: “Your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground.” (Genesis 4:10) When God spoke of Abel’s blood, he was speaking of Abel’s life. Cain had taken Abel’s life, and now Cain would have to be punished. It was as if Abel’s blood, or life, were crying out to Jehovah for justice. The connection between life and blood was again shown after the Flood of Noah’s day. Before the Flood, humans ate only fruits, vegetables, grains, and nuts. After the Flood, Jehovah told Noah and his sons: “Every moving animal that is alive may serve as food for you. As in the case of green vegetation, I do give it all to you.” However, God set this restriction: “Only flesh with its soul [or, life] What use of blood has God forbidden since the days of Noah? 11 We show respect for blood by not eating it. In the Law that Jehovah gave the Israelites, he commanded: “As for any man . who in hunting catches a wild beast or a fowl that may be eaten, he must in that case pour its blood out and cover it with dust. I said to the sons of Israel: ‘You must not eat the blood of any sort of flesh.’” (Leviticus 17:13, 14) God’s command not to eat animal blood, first given to Noah some 800 years earlier, was still in force. Jehovah’s view was clear: His servants could eat animal meat but not the blood. They were to pour the blood on the ground What command regarding blood was given by holy spirit in the first century and still applies today? 12 A similar command rests upon Christians. The apostles and other men taking the lead among Jesus’ followers in the first century met together to decide what commands had to be obeyed by all in the Christian congregation. They came to this conclusion: “The holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to you, except these necessary things, to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled [leaving the blood in the meat] and from fornication.” (Acts 15:28, 29; 21:25) So we must ‘keep abstaining from blood.’ In God’s eyes, our doing that is as important as our avoiding idolatry and sexual immorality. Illustrate why the command to abstain from blood includes blood transfusions. 13 Does the command to abstain from blood include blood transfusions? Yes. To illustrate: Suppose a doctor were to tell you to abstain from alcoholic beverages. Would that simply mean that you should not drink alcohol but that you could have it injected into your veins? Of course not! Likewise, abstaining from blood means not taking it into our bodies at all. So the command to abstain from blood means that we would not allow anyone to transfuse blood into our veins. If doctors say that a Christian must have a blood transfusion, how would he react, and why? 14 What if a Christian is badly injured or is in need of major surgery? Suppose doctors say that he must have a blood transfusion or he will die. Of course, the Christian would not want to die. In an effort to preserve God’s precious gift of life, he would accept other kinds of treatment that do not involve the misuse of blood. Hence, he would seek such medical attention if that is available and would accept a variety of alternatives to blood. 15 Would a Christian break God’s law just to stay alive a little longer in this system of things? Jesus said: “Whoever wants to save his soul [or, life] will lose it; but whoever loses his soul for my sake will find it.” (Matthew 16:25) We do not want to die. But if we tried to save our present life by breaking God’s law, we would be in danger of losing everlasting life. We are wise, then, to put our trust in the rightness of God’s law, with full confidence that if we die from any cause, our Life-Giver will remember us in the resurrection and restore to us the precious gift of life. What do God’s servants firmly resolve regarding blood? 16 Today, faithful servants of God firmly resolve to follow his direction regarding blood. They will not eat it in any form. Nor will they accept blood for medical reasons. * They are sure that the Creator of blood knows what is best for them. Do you believe that he does? THE ONLY PROPER USE OF BLOOD In ancient Israel, what was the one use of blood that was acceptable to Jehovah God? 17 The Mosaic Law emphasized the one proper use of blood. Regarding the worship required of the ancient Israelites, Jehovah commanded: “The soul [or, life] of the flesh is in the blood, and I myself have put it upon the altar for you to make atonement for your souls, because it is the blood that makes atonement.” (Leviticus 17:11) When the Israelites sinned, they could obtain forgiveness by offering an animal and having some of its blood put on the altar at the tabernacle or later at God’s temple. The only proper use of blood was in such sacrifices. What benefits and blessings can we gain from the shedding of Jesus’ blood? 18 True Christians are not under the Mosaic Law and therefore do not offer animal sacrifices and put the blood of animals on an altar. (Hebrews 10:1) However, the use of blood on the altar in the days of ancient Israel pointed forward to the precious sacrifice of God’s Son, Jesus Christ. As we learned in Chapter 5 of this book, Jesus gave his human life for us by letting his blood be shed as a sacrifice. Then he ascended to heaven and once for all time offered the value of his shed blood to God. (Hebrews 9:11, 12) That laid the basis for the forgiveness of our sins and opened the way for us to gain everlasting life. (Matthew 20:28; John 3:16) How extremely important that use of blood has proved to be! (1 Peter 1:18, 19) Only by means of faith in the merit of Jesus’ shed blood can we gain salvation. What must we do in order to be “clean from the blood of all men”? 19 We can be so grateful to Jehovah God for the loving provision of life! And should that not motivate us to tell others about the opportunity to gain everlasting life on the basis of faith in Jesus’ sacrifice? Godly concern for the lives of fellow humans will move us to do this with eagerness and zeal. (Ezekiel 3:17-21) If we diligently fulfill this responsibility, we will be able to say, as did the apostle Paul: “I am clean from the blood of all men, for I have not held back from telling you all the counsel of God.” (Acts 20:26, 27) Telling people about God and his purposes is a fine way to show that we have the highest regard for life and blood. ^ par. 16 For information on alternatives to blood transfusion, see pages 13-17 of the brochure How Can Blood Save Your Life? published by Jehovah’s Witnesses.

TRINAESTO POGLAVLJE Božje gledište o životu Kako Bog gleda na život? Kako Bog gleda na abortus? Kako pokazujemo da poštujemo život? "JEHOVA je zaista Bog“, rekao je prorok Jeremija. On je "živi Bog“ (Jeremija 10:10). Štaviše, Jehova Bog je Stvoritelj celokupnog živog sveta. Nebeska stvorenja su mu se obratila sledećim rečima: "Ti [si] sve stvorio i tvojom voljom sve postoji i stvoreno je“ (Otkrivenje 4:11). U jednoj pesmi hvale Bogu, kralj David je rekao: "U tebi [je] izvor života“ (Psalam 36:9). Dakle, život je dar od Boga. 2 Jehova takođe podržava naš život (Dela apostolska 17:28). On nam je dao hranu koju jedemo, vodu koju pijemo, vazduh koji udišemo i tlo na kojem živimo (Dela apostolska 14:15-17). Jehova je to obezbedio na način koji nam omogućuje da se radujemo životu. Međutim, da bismo se u potpunosti radovali životu, potrebno je da naučimo Božje zakone i da ih se držimo (Isaija 48:17, 18). POKAZIVATI POŠTOVANJE PREMA ŽIVOTU 3 Bog želi da poštujemo život — kako svoj, tako i tuđ. Na primer, Adamov i Evin sin Kain razgnevio se na svog mlađeg brata Avelja. Jehova je upozorio Kaina da bi gnev mogao da ga navede na ozbiljan greh. Kain se nije osvrtao na to upozorenje. On je "nasrnuo na svog brata Avelja i ubio ga“ (Postanak 4:3-8). Jehova je kaznio Kaina što je ubio brata (Postanak 4:9-11). 4 Oko dve i po hiljade godina posle toga, Jehova je dao zakone izraelskoj naciji kako bi joj pomogao da mu služi na prihvatljiv način. Pošto su ti zakoni dati preko Mojsija, oni su poznati i kao Mojsijev zakon. Na jednom mestu u Mojsijevom zakonu piše: "Ne ubij“ (Ponovljeni zakoni 5:17). To je Izraelcima pokazivalo da Bog ceni ljudski život i da ljudi moraju ceniti tuđ život. 5 Šta možemo reći za život nerođenog deteta? Prema Mojsijevom zakonu, nije bilo ispravno da se prouzrokuje smrt deteta u majčinoj materici. Da, Jehovi je dragocen čak i život nerođenog deteta (Izlazak 21:22, 23; Psalam 127:3). To znači da nije ispravno izvršiti abortus. 6 Poštovati život takođe znači imati ispravno gledište o drugim ljudima. Biblija kaže: "Ko god mrzi svog brata ubica je, a vi znate da ni u jednom ubici večni život ne ostaje“ (1. Jovanova 3:15). Ako želimo večni život, potrebno je da iskorenimo iz srca bilo kakvu mržnju prema drugim ljudima, zato što je ona glavni uzrok nasilja (1. Neophodno je da naučimo da volimo jedni druge. POŠTOVANJE PREMA ŽIVOTU POKAZUJEMO - tako što ne oduzimamo život nerođenom detetu - tako što prekidamo s nečistim navikama - tako što iskorenjujemo iz srca bilo kakvu mržnju prema bližnjem 7 A šta možemo reći o pokazivanju poštovanja prema svom životu? Prirodno je da ljudi ne žele da umru, ali neki dovode život u opasnost radi zadovoljstva. Na primer, mnogi koriste duvan ili uzimaju drogu iz razonode. Te stvari škode telu i često dovode do smrti. Osoba koja ima naviku da ih koristi ne gleda na život kao na nešto što je sveto. Te navike su nečiste u Božjim očima (Rimljanima 6:19; 12:1; 2. Korinćanima 7:1). Da bismo služili Bogu na prihvatljiv način, moramo prekinuti s takvim navikama. Iako to može biti veoma teško, Jehova nam može pružiti potrebnu pomoć. Njemu je veoma drago kada vidi da se trudimo da poštujemo život kao nešto sveto što smo dobili od njega. 8 Ukoliko poštujemo život, preduzećemo potrebne mere predostrožnosti. Nećemo biti nemarni, niti ćemo dovoditi sebe u rizične situacije samo radi zabave ili uzbuđenja. Izbegavaćemo vratolomnu vožnju i opasne sportove (Psalam 11:5). Božji zakon je drevnim Izraelcima nalagao sledeće: "Ako sagradiš novu kuću [s ravnim krovom], načini ogradu [to jest, nizak zid] na krovu, da ne bi na svoju kuću navukao krivicu za krv ako bi neko pao s nje“ (Ponovljeni zakoni 22:8). U skladu s načelom izloženim u tom zakonu, pobrini se da stepenice, pragovi i slična mesta u kući budu bezbedni da se ne bi neko sapleo, pao i teško se povredio. Ako imaš automobil, vodi računa o njegovoj ispravnosti. Nemoj dozvoliti da tvoj dom ili automobil predstavljaju opasnost za tebe ili druge. 9 Šta reći za život životinja? Stvoritelju je i njihov život svet. Bog dopušta da se životinje ubiju radi hrane ili odeće, ili da bi se ljudi zaštitili od opasnosti (Postanak 3:21; 9:3; Izlazak 21:28). Međutim, nije ispravno da se okrutno postupa prema životinjama ili da se one ubijaju samo iz zabave. Time se pokazuje nepoštovanje prema svetosti života (Poslovice 12:10). POKAZIVATI POŠTOVANJE PREMA KRVI Nakon što je Kain ubio Avelja, Jehova mu je rekao: "Krv tvog brata viče k meni sa zemlje“ (Postanak 4:10). Kada je govorio o Aveljevoj krvi, Bog je zapravo mislio na njegov život. Kain je Avelju oduzeo život, i zato je morao da bude kažnjen. To je bilo kao da je Aveljeva krv, to jest njegov život, vapila k Jehovi za pravdu. Veza između života i krvi još jednom je bila istaknuta nakon Potopa u Nojevim danima. Pre Potopa, ljudi su jeli samo voće, povrće, žitarice i jezgraste plodove. Posle Potopa, Jehova je Noju i njegovim sinovima rekao: "Sve što se miče i živi služiće vam za hranu; sve ja to vama dajem, kao i zelenu travu.“ Međutim, Bog je postavio sledeće ograničenje: "Samo ne smete jesti meso s njegovom dušom [ili, životom], to jest s njegovom krvlju“ (Postanak 1:29; 9:3, 4). Dakle, u Jehovinim očima život i krv stvorenja tesno su povezani. Mi pokazujemo poštovanje prema krvi tako što je ne jedemo. U Zakonu koji je dao Izraelcima, Jehova je zapovedio: "Svaki čovek… koji ulovi neku divljač ili pticu, koja može da se jede, neka joj ispusti krv i zatrpa je zemljom… Rekao [sam] Izraelovim sinovima: ’Ne smete jesti krv nijednog tela‘ “ (Levitska 17:13, 14). Božja zapovest da se ne jede životinjska krv, koja je najpre bila data Noju oko 800 godina ranije, još uvek je bila na snazi. Jehovino gledište je bilo jasno: Njegove sluge mogu jesti životinjsko meso, ali ne i krv. Krv je trebalo proliti na zemlju — takoreći, vratiti život tog stvorenja Bogu. Za hrišćane važi slična zapovest. Apostoli i drugi hrišćani koji su predvodili među Isusovim sledbenicima iz prvog veka sastali su se da bi odredili koje je zapovesti trebalo da poštuju svi članovi hrišćanske skupštine. Došli su do sledećeg zaključka: "Sveti duh i mi odlučili smo da ne stavljamo nikakvo dodatno breme na vas, osim ovoga što je potrebno: uzdržavati se od onoga što je žrtvovano idolima, od krvi, od udavljenoga [čija se krv zadržala u mesu] i od bluda“ (Dela apostolska 15:28, 29; 21:25). Dakle, moramo se ’uzdržavati od krvi‘. U Božjim očima, to je važno koliko i izbegavanje idolopoklonstva ili polnog nemorala. Da li se zapovest da se uzdržavamo od krvi odnosi i na transfuziju? Navešćemo jedan primer: Pretpostavimo da ti doktor kaže da se uzdržavaš od alkoholnih pića. Da li bi to jednostavno značilo da ne treba da piješ alkohol, ali da ga možeš ubrizgavati u vene? Naravno da ne bi! Slično tome, i uzdržavanje od krvi znači da je ni na koji način ne treba unositi u telo. Stoga zapovest da se uzdržavamo od krvi znači da nećemo dozvoliti da nam se ubrizga krv u vene. Šta ako je hrišćanin ozbiljno povređen ili mu je potrebna neka teška operacija? Pretpostavimo da doktori kažu da će umreti ako ne primi krv. Naravno, taj hrišćanin ne bi želeo da umre. U nastojanju da sačuva Božji dragoceni dar života, on bi prihvatio druge vrste lečenja koje ne obuhvataju zloupotrebu krvi. Dakle, on bi tražio takvo lečenje, ako je ono moguće, i prihvatio bi razne zamene za krv. Da li bi hrišćanin prekršio Božji zakon samo da bi sada malo produžio život? Isus je rekao: "Ko hoće da spase svoj život, izgubiće ga, a ko izgubi svoj život radi mene, naći će ga“ (Matej 16:25). Mi ne želimo da umremo. Ali, ako bismo pokušali da sačuvamo sadašnji život tako što bismo prekršili Božji zakon, rizikovali bismo da izgubimo večni život. Dakle, mudro je da verujemo u pravednost Božjeg zakona, potpuno uvereni da ako se desi da umremo, naš Davalac života će nas se setiti u uskrsenju i vratiće nam dragoceni dar života (Jovan 5:28, 29; Jevrejima 11:6). Danas su Božje verne sluge čvrsto odlučne da slede njegovo uputstvo koje se odnosi na krv. Oni neće jesti ništa u čemu ima krvi. Niti će prihvatiti krv u lečenju.* Oni su sigurni da Bog koji je stvorio krv zna šta je najbolje za njih. Da li i ti veruješ u to? JEDINI ISPRAVAN NAČIN KORIŠĆENJA KRVI U Mojsijevom zakonu je bio istaknut jedini ispravan način korišćenja krvi. S obzirom na obožavanje koje je zahtevao od drevnih Izraelaca, Jehova je zapovedio: "Duša [ili, život] tela je u krvi i ja sam vam je odredio za oltar da se vrši očišćenje vaših duša, zato što je krv ta koja vrši očišćenje“ (Levitska 17:11). Kada su Izraelci zgrešili, mogli su da dobiju oproštenje ako bi prineli na žrtvu životinju i izlili malo njene krvi na oltar koji se u početku nalazio ispred šatora sastanka, a kasnije ispred Jehovinog hrama. Krv se mogla koristiti jedino prilikom prinošenja takvih žrtava. Pravi hrišćani nisu pod Mojsijevim zakonom i zato ne prinose životinjske žrtve, niti prolivaju životinjsku krv na oltar (Jevrejima 10:1). Međutim, korišćenje krvi na oltaru u vreme drevnog Izraela ukazivalo je na dragocenu žrtvu Božjeg Sina, Isusa Hrista. Kao što smo videli u 5. poglavlju, Isus je dao svoj ljudski život za nas tako što je dozvolio da se njegova krv prolije kao žrtva. Zatim je bio uznesen na nebo, gde je jednom za sva vremena prineo Bogu vrednost svoje prolivene krvi (Jevrejima 9:11, 12). Time je položen temelj za oproštenje naših greha, a i pružena nam je mogućnost da dobijemo večni život (Matej 20:28; Jovan 3:16). Ta krv je izuzetno važna za nas! Spasenje možemo dobiti jedino ako verujemo u vrednost Isusove prolivene krvi. Zaista možemo biti zahvalni Jehovi Bogu za divan dar života! Zar to ne treba da nas podstakne da govorimo drugima o tome kako mogu dobiti večni život na temelju vere u Isusovu žrtvu? Ukoliko nam je, kao i Bogu, stalo do života drugih ljudi, tada ćemo im spremno i revno govoriti o tome (Jezekilj 3:17-21). Ako marljivo izvršavamo tu odgovornost, moći ćemo da kažemo isto što i apostol Pavle: "Čist [sam] od krvi sviju, jer nisam propustio da vam u potpunosti objavim Božju nameru“ (Dela apostolska 20:26, 27). Svedočenje ljudima o Bogu i o njegovim namerama predstavlja odličan način na koji možemo pokazati da u potpunosti cenimo život i krv. ŠTA BIBLIJA NAUČAVA - Život je dar od Boga (Psalam 36:9; Otkrivenje 4:11) - Nije ispravno izvršiti abortus, pošto je Bogu dragocen život nerođenog deteta (Izlazak 21:22, 23; Psalam 127:3) - Poštovanje prema životu pokazujemo tako što ga ne ugrožavamo i tako što ne jedemo krv (Ponovljeni zakoni 5:17; Dela apostolska 15:28, 29) * Za informacije o zamenama za transfuziju krvi, vidi strane 13-17 u brošuri Kako ti krv može spasiti život?, koju su izdali Jehovini svedoci. Pitanja Ko je stvorio celokupan živi svet? Šta Bog čini da bi nam podržao život? Kako je Bog gledao na Aveljevo ubistvo? Kako je Bog jasno pokazao putem Mojsijevog zakona koje je ispravno gledište o životu? Kako treba da gledamo na abortus? Zašto ne smemo da mrzimo druge ljude? Koje su neke navike kojima se pokazuje nepoštovanje prema životu? Zašto treba da preduzmemo potrebne mere predostrožnosti? Ako poštujemo život, kako ćemo se ophoditi prema životinjama? Kako je Bog pokazao da postoji veza između života i krvi? Koju je namenu krvi Bog zabranio još od Nojevog vremena? Koja zapovest u vezi s krvlju, koja je u prvom veku data putem svetog duha, i danas važi? Navedi primer koji pokazuje zašto zapovest da se uzdržavamo od krvi uključuje i transfuziju? Ako doktori kažu da hrišćanin mora da primi krv, kako će on reagovati, i zašto? Na šta su Božje sluge čvrsto odlučne s obzirom na krv? Koji je jedini način korišćenja krvi u drevnom Izraelu bio prihvatljiv za Jehovu Boga? Koje koristi i blagoslove možemo imati zahvaljujući Isusovoj prolivenoj krvi? Šta moramo da radimo kako bismo bili ’čisti od krvi sviju‘?
