I have just amended this after posting as I was thinking of another condition when writing.
Hi Laura
The Rhogam shot that you mention isn't actually a vaccine but rather is an antibody injection. Yes, I agree with keeping well away from vaccinations. In my opinion that still doesn't necessarily make the anti-Rh antibody good though but I have mixed thoughts on the subject. Personally I still believe that trust and faith in God should be the first line of defense in situations like the Rh mixing of blood situation. I stand to be corrected on anything I write.
My reasoning on the subject is as follows
It is God who has made us and knows us intimately and He longs for us to be close to Him and consult Him first with the matters of our lives. Having antibodies today against Rh is a quite a new technology and before the later part of the last century was completely unheard of. Yes babies died due to Rh problems, but I see it that the real problem may have been that the parents to be were only the usual worldly people who did not come under God's umbrella of care and protection.
There are some parts of scripture I often think about with regards to the situation:
Below is the statement that Jesus made to His diciples just before He was taken up to Heaven and covers the things that are going to happen sometimes when believers in true Christ are involved in situations and is involved in God's care for people.
Mark 16 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
Some will cast out devils, some will speak with new tongues where necessary, some will take up serpents in times of necessity or accidentally, some will drink something that normally being deadly and it turns out it didn't hurt them and some will lay hands on sick people and they will recover.
The umbrella of God's protection doesn't extend to people putting God to the test on those things though, so if someone thinks they have protection from the venom of a diamond back rattle snake and then goes and picks one up they may be in for a big surprise i.e. death. We read about a similar situation when Chris Johnson posted a while back about a "pastor" who got eaten by a crocodile.
The care that Jesus spoke about and
Matthew 7 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
The problem with the Amish women who have had children die of the Rh issue is that in not belonging to Christ they don't come under God's umbrella of protection. Not being of Christ they can't make requests to God and know that their request will be given full consideration. Even if a woman who does belong to Christ had a baby die from the Rh issue then you would still know that it was God's will in that situation. It might be difficult to understand, but by standing on faith a person could know with confidence that they made a request to God and the outcome is what God chose. The answer we don't know is how many God fearing women's babies were spared death in the last two thousand years because they came under God's umbrella of protection. We can never know that and we only hear or read about babies who have died.
My mixed thoughts on the subject
If the Rh antibody given by injection kept a baby alive and later in life when they were at the age of accountability they become repentant before God and choose Christ then surely that would be a good thing. That makes me think of Judas Iscariot for whom it would have been better if he had not been born. While people are still alive there is still a chance for them. The same goes for the asthmatic who uses an inhaler.
The whole subject might become a moot point in the not too distant future with major upheavals in the world due to events that we knew had to happen as given in the scriptures and there being no more supply of compounds such as these anti-Rh antibodies. Back to the old days where people had to rely on God's mercy and the plants that God has created as medicines and the care from others when in times of need.
Interesting side note: Although I live in New Zealand and we don't have any dangerous animals (apart from the rare katipo spider that lives at the beach and can give a bite equivalent to a bee sting) at my work there are researchers who do research on the venom from rattle snakes. That is a project I have never been a part of and I have never been able to find any publications of their work. All I have seen is the pics of rattle snakes on the large TV screens showing some of the current research projects.
