Donating Organs

[skaven]

Hey I just got a Organ Donor card and I want to sign it as some members of my family and friends families have died waiting for organs and I feel it is right. But is right by god? I know some people don't do it for religious reasons. But isnt giving someone the gift of life the ultimate good dead?(other then bringing them to christ). If it depends on what church I go to i go to a church thats a mix of Anglician, Lutheran, and Salvation Army. But mostly Salvation Army.

Thanks Dave

Different churches have different doctrines on this matter. If you want to know specifically what your church believes, you could talk with your pastor or visit the appropriate forum I believe that being an organ donor is a good thing. But if you are unsure, then find out what your church believes before making your decision.

I can't imagine why anyone would feel it was wrong to be an organ donor? As that bumper sticker says "don't take your organs with you, heaven knows we need them here". I am signed up to be an organ donor and am also donating my body to science after I die. They can bury me once they're done with me.

i dont see how it could be a bad thing to donate an organ to someone is in need of it. i mean ur saving a life that may not be able to continue as for the sake of lack of matching donars... im a donar.

In the end, God is going to make your body perfect anyway. You won't need the organs while you are waiting for him to raise you up again, and you'll be perfect when he does, so why not give the organs to someone here on earth who needs them? I think it's a wonderful idea myself, and both my husband and I plan to be organ donors.

QUestion,
If a person who has had a bad life so far, been hurt by people and has in turn hurt others in the past, yet has recently come back to the Lord. Has made nothing of their life, and when he dies will have left nothing but bad thoughts from folks who cannot understand God's forgiveness to those who seek it. If this such person would donate his organs while still alive, causing his own death by the gift, would this be seen as suicide? When the person did not take his own life, but had doctors give his life parts to those worthy of a life and a future?

above ALL you are a deciple of Jesus Christ and above ALL you should do what he would do, the Holy Spirit has already delt with you on this. you know you should give thats what Christ would have you do and thats what the Holy Spirit has been telling you to do .

Mark 12:31

"The second is this, `YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' There is no other commandment greater than these"


John 15:13

"Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends"

Matthew 19:29

"And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms for My name's sake, will receive many times as much, and will inherit eternal life."

Dear Skaven


In this country laws have changed. They just can't take a body even if they were homeless and no one claimed the body.


In order to be a cadaver
A person has to donate their ENTIRE BODY except for some parts of the eye they can give to somebody else .



Should you do this, you get to hang around in this world for up to two WHOLE years while new doctors cut you up in tiny pieces to see just what made you tick.



Every medical doctor you go to held the knife and sliced up a body so that he could LEARN. I look at it this way, better he learn on the dead then learn on me.




Now GOD'S WORD says:


" DUST TO DUST "



Does it make any difference if we turn to that finale dust in one second or in ten years. We are still dust.




Is there anyone here that doubts GOD'S ABILTY to make you a HEAVENLY BODY?



Think HE is going to use the same dust?



What about when the worms eat you? What happens then? Different kind of DUST?



It is the SOUL that better have the proper attention.
Stop worrying about the DUST!



With our eyes on JESUS we have no problem with DUST.




THANK GOD WE CAN REMEMBER:




XEven though you can't see Him, GOD is there!O

Wonderwaleye, you are talking about something different from organ donation. Medical colleges do take body donations for use in training medical students (I have a friend who worked in a cadaver lab) but there is also a way to will specific parts for transplant purposes. Hearts, lungs, livers, kidneys, and eyes are all used from people who have died for transplants in the chronically ill. http://www.organdonor.gov/ This tells about the organ donation program, and the need that exists in our country for donors. http://www.medcure.org/ - This tells about whole body donation for medical science. And this tells about the difference between the two. http://www.funerals.org/faq/donation.htm

This is a decision only you can make. I can tell you that the anglican church does support organ donation. Pray for a peace about it. Once we have a physical death, our soul leaves the body and we have no use for our organs. Here is a website that shows the various church views on the topic: http://www.transweb.org/qa/qa_txp/faq_religion.html It looks like most churches view it as a personal decision and support organ donation as a charitable act. This is one of those things that is not directly spoken of in the Bible, so you are going to have to rely on your own sense of reason and your own personal convictions and sense of peace about it. God will grant you peace to do what is right for you to do. God bless!

Dear Dante61


Sorry no one answered your question. Maybe it would help if maybe you understood why.


Folks posting on a post are supposed to be obligated to the original poster. The one that starts the post. Referred to as the OP.



Everyone's question is taken seriously but you must remember their train of thought is to the original post. Or at least it's supposed to be.


If someone posts a question that is different it is referred to as hijacking the thread. Your new here and I'm sure you where not aware.



When you have ANY question you would like to talk about just post a new thread.


You are welcome here and there are a lot of good folks that want to help anyway they can. So lets forgive each other and start anew.



ALWAYS REMEMBERING:




XEven though you can't see Him, GOD is there!O

[Dante61]

Dear Skaven and others who posted replies to your posting. I meant no wrong in my posting, even though it was, as stated by some to me, a post hijacking. I was not aware of this. Was wrong, and I am very sorry.

Pls, no response.

Pray about it.

But i see this as giving life to someone who is about to die. I'M DEAD! WHAT USE FOR THESE ORGANS DO I HAVE?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Why not save somebody's life by giving what you don't need anymore?
