Oh..I know what I wanted to say to you...
Would a parent give a *Blood Transfusion* to save their child? Would a human being die to save their child..?
Do animals kill anyone who tries to hurt there babies? even if it is prey taking on a predator?
I think you would say *YES* of course...
SO why would G-D do any less for his children????
Are we not created in the image and likeness of Yaweh?
What makes us sacrafice ourselves for another *Love*
G-D loves us....What a wonderful gift blasater!
Do animals kill anyone who tries to hurt there babies? even if it is prey taking on a predator?
What you are discribing is martyrdom. When a person is give their live to save a child or stranger, that is honorable and a G-d accpts that.
But a mother giving her kidney to a child and dying in the process is NOT a sin sacrifice, and not a sacrifice for all mankind, for all time. That is what G-d forbids. G-d says we are each responsible for our OWN sins. Personal responsibility! A very conservative idea at that!
