One Verse Jehovah Witnesses Don't Want U To See by Nicenancy(f): 9:24am On May 07, 2021
Acts 20:28-29
[28]Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

[29]For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.

God purchased the church with His own Blood

OP perhaps it was Jehovah’s Witnesses who made the following Bible translations?

Acts 20:28

Contemporary English Version:

“Look after yourselves and everyone the Holy Spirit has placed in your care. Be like shepherds to God's church. It is the flock he bought with the blood of his own Son.”

Good News Translation:

“So keep watch over yourselves and over all the flock which the Holy Spirit has placed in your care. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he made his own through the blood of his Son.

New English Translation:

“Watch out for yourselves and for all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God that he obtained with the blood of his own Son.

Revised Standard Version:

“Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God which he obtained with the blood of his own Son.

The above translations are correct since they correspond with 1John 1:7 where even your KJV ends the verse with “the blood of Jesus Christ his Son so it was NEVER God’s blood that was shed since he never came to this earth as a man, rather it was his Son’s. Period.

It's possible that we are MISINFORMED due to one reason or another but it will mean stupidity on our part if we fail to make sure of all things before running to conclusion! 1Thessalonians 5:1 undecided

Nicenancy:

Perhaps you mean to say:

16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world for him to judge the world, but for the world to be saved through him. 18 Whoever exercises faith in him is not to be judged. Whoever does not exercise faith has been judged already, because he has not exercised faith in the name of the only-begotten Son of God. John 3:16-18
Evidently it's the blood of God's son that was shed not the blood of God! undecided

God purchased the church with His own Blood

Perhaps it is time you expand you library and knowledge.

Library
CEV: he bought with the blood of his own Son.
EXB: which he ·bought [or obtained] with the ·death of his own Son.
GNT: he made his own through the blood of his Son.
LEB: he obtained through the blood of his own Son.
MOUNCE: he purchased with the blood of his own Son.
NCV: which he bought with the death of his own son.
NET: he obtained with the blood of his own Son.
NRSV: he obtained with the blood of his own Son.
RSV: he obtained with the blood of his own Son.

And many others at Bible gateway

Knowledge
Not so accurate but let's examining the Bible translation you used.
'With is own blood'
is this sentence saying that God purchased with his inherent blood or is there an implication that someone else’s blood was used?
Let's examine the scripture
New King James Version
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
Straight to point . The Bible doesn't contradict .

Go back and read the verse you quoted with this new insight
