Bio-engineered food warning in USA at minimum

[Raccoon1010]

I found bio-engineered food at the Fredmeyer where I live. It is on the back of the package of food if you look. Bio-engineered food is plant and animal of any type which has been genetically altered from God's created life forms on earth.

There has been already some concerned organizations discussion and supposed requirement to label any food item that contains altered DNA on the package. I have found the statements:

Contains a bio-engineered ...

Contains genetically engineered...

My concern is that of what the body will do when it is exposed to foreign DNA. I considered the case of rejection of the body thru various mechanisms like the immune system and other forms. Similar to foreign bodies which include viruses, bacteria, donated organs in organ donor procedures. My concern is the mild to moderate rejection of the foreign DNA could go undetected and possibly involve lethal effects in some cases.


I have been instructed by God to deliver this message so that the Christians can check their labels at their local stores. God knows his children and protects us.

I will post an article from the USDA that I do not support nor endorse. But does contains their definition of "bio-engineered".

Any genetically difference from God's created animal and plant life concerns me.

Thank you!

[Edit 2024-12-30] I had a Chance to review a few of the posts following this original post. I do not support nor endorse any posts that do not take this matter seriously.

I believe I witnessed foods ranging from dairy to meats as well that were engineered from the original DNA. I am well aware of cross breeding and the resultant changes in natural genetic material.

There is a battle not to require GMO labels, which to me, violate the whole purpose of food labeling.

Ummmmm
There does not exist any truly "heirloom " grain, flower, fruit, or bean anymore. They have been "genetically altered" for the past 4,000 years. From potatoes to grapes....all have been crossbred and altered for that long.

So your original post is very misleading.

If you go to Burpee seed catalog there are no generic seeds of any type. There are "heirloom " varieties....but they really are not in truth.

What goes into a man's mouth does not make him unclean but what comes out of his heart.

However,
The convenience food market has grown drastically over the years. Heat and eat foods are over the top. Steam in the bag vegetables are not exactly free from chemicals. Jars of sauces and soups and meats frozen to heat and eat.

The artificial flavors and chemicals have shaped tastes to accept the flavors. You cannot taste the chemicals in your foods anymore. Until the day comes you remove ALL the processed foods from your diet. Then the processed taste becomes glaring.

And that's the real problem.

Interesting. My husband was telling me one night how way back things grown may have started out as non-edible in the wild but through crossbreeding became an edible widely used staple. I don’t really understand all that, but it did open my eyes to crossbreeding has been around way longer than I thought.

Agree the real problem is chemicals and preservatives …and fast foods. It’s concerning for my grandchildren. There seems to be some truth in “junk food”.

I believe the OP is talking about things like soybean modification that is not just a out in the wild event . Franken food , you tell me .

Love “so that Christians can check their labels”
Love love “check your labels”

“Labels” remind me of: don’t stand near me for I am more holy than you(just labeling “more holy” and “less holy”.) Or when they labeled “a harlot” and Jesus Christ told them the harlots entered in before them. Or when they called “an adulterous woman” and Jesus told them: he who was without sin cast the first stone. Or when one comes in wearing the best garments you label him worthy of the best seat, and make the poor his foot rest. Or even “they take My Name in vain” wearing the “label” but their heart is far from Me.

I do think you have given a message to consider but mingling together two types of seeds has more meanings than just one. To me there is something to consider also in mingling “mens doctrines” with God’s doctrine. There is a great message in your thread (Imo) of being careful what you eat and to watch out for genetically engineered seed but to me this could also mean the Grace of God altered by mens doctrines.

Love “so that Christians can check their labels”
Love love “check your labels”! It is something worth considering for sure!

Most of your "Vape" nicotine is actually a product of a tomato variety instead of a tobacco plant. Some varieties have created an inverse nicotine that is a non-addictive nicotine which is used in the nicotine gums and other quitting aids.

Then there are varieties of grains, beans, and rice which are designed to give a vitamin boost to populations that are having issues with blindness or some other malady that vitamins or simple medications can prevent.

They haven't created an antibiotic orange as of yet that I'm aware of....but likely they aren't far off. Things like Acerola Cherries have been the staple of Vitamin C supplements for decades now. Fish that create antifreeze are crossbred with tomatoes to create fruit that won't freeze. (They could have used raspberries or blueberries IMHO)

Fortified breakfast cereals and sandwich bread has been ongoing for decades now. (Actually these are dough conditioners that assist in producing better bread)

The concern I was alerted to was that while the bio- engineered food was a threat to health and life in my area of the USA and others perhaps there was another risk that came up: all the electronic items sold to me here in Washington state in the area of Marysville and Everett area Fredmeyers stores were China manufactured and comprised and often I could not use the items without problems that were driven by remote control. I had not checked other stores yet but Kroger was a supplier of the foods which also owns QFC as well as other stores. It became a monopoly sort of in the super market industry.

Even my ISP had Chinese equipment.

And that concern was that a strategic act of war was being created in at least my area under USA Democrat authority.

 

[Raccoon1010]

While I understand that this is a friendly conversation forum, I would like the thread to remain on the topic of genetically modified foods which may include cross breeding that might range from mild to severe human immune rejection and other bodily rejection processes. I understand that not all cross breeding is unhealthy.

I updated the first post I made to start the thread with an edit at the end. The information on the current issue can be searched online. The food items I found at my local store did also include dairy and meats which concerns me. In fact in the pizza selection, which was large, I could only find "bio-enginerred" product.

Thank you to the members for engaging in this discussion. Please do your research on the issues carefully. I know there has been news regarding genetically engineered meats
Which may include lab grown synthetic meats. Which does concern me for the health and well being of not only my fellow Christians, but all of the earth.

When DNA is altered it can change the mutation of bacteria and viruses that infect that foreign genetic food which will likely evolve into different strains of the virus and bacteria other than would normally happen with the unaltered genetic foods. The concern then is that some strains of bacteria and viruses can become plague level organisms which are dangerous to mankind.

I did some research and it appears that the state of Washington alerted the white house of the threat to national security and the white house responded with terrifs.

I avoid GMOs! But what about the list of thousands of chemicals and synthetic additives used in processed foods? Artificial colors, sweeteners, pesticides, toxic substances, fake fat, fake sugar, fake food - causing illness and obesity? At least an ear of corn, though genetically modified is organic and has DNA. More of the problem is all the other junk people nonchalantly go up and down the aisle and load their baskets without knowledge, care or restraint!

Hello,

Interesting and partially accurate statement. Yes the chemical compounds from modern science have also been engineered. Some complex chemical compounds can be found in nature, at which point scientists synthetically reproduce it in a lab for mass production. The effect on the human body varies of course. Some are medicines, while others may be nutrition. And yet others toxins that harm and kill living organisms which may include God's created life forms.

Examples of good medicine might be an appropriate dose and duration of antibiotics meant to kill harmful bacteria in the body. I sometimes call harmful bacteria and viruses "death forms". Those appear to be created by someone other than God and I suspect the serpent creates them somehow. God is Almighty and surely knows what the serpent has been doing to God's creations. Thus genetically engineered abominations.

There is normal genetic variations from God created lifeforms interaction on earth. But there are also dangerous death forms created by the serpent and unfortunately mankind also.

Unfortunately there are also bad chemical compounds, which is similar to foreign DNA, where the body gets harmed and may have a rejection response. They often try things out on populations. And studies come up even years after approval of a compound or medicine so that harmful items may be blacklisted.

Science of chemistry, biology and radiology are perhaps more advanced then at other era of the universe that God created.

With recent international war events the concern all mankind should have is unethical, immoral use of chemical, biological and radiological mechanisms which are restricted from warfare use and if used during peacetime may indicate potential problems that need to be addressed by all countries authorities.

There are more items used in history of war atrocities, just one other is what is called psychological warfare. A term created to cause damage and disruption to the enemies ability to defend itself. A victim of psychologic warfare might not be able to defend or aggress against the perpetrator. Sometimes it is better to keep the enemy on the defensive.

 

[Raccoon1010]

Sometimes I wonder if psychology is an implementation of psychologic warfare already.

In the 25 years of investigation into the matter I witnessed many troubling attempts to undermine the gender types emotionally, mentally and physically. Including attempts, which were also many, to get people to accept false beliefs which only blinds the mind from God's truths of themselves and their surroundings which obviously includes other persons. Which can cause an improper defense or offensive action or reaction to dangers that should be addressed. Which is psychological warfare in the same sense of the idea.

They don't teach Christianity but from what I witnessed eastern serpent and false god based religion ideas. China, India and other areas.

 

[Raccoon1010]

If in fact eastern dragon religion and it's other false god areas of any person or spirit worshipped falsely as a god had a chance in warfare...

given the false beliefs and deceptions taught by the dragon that their worshippers would be heavily beguiled and compromised already...

It would only be at the serpent and dragons support of such deceived of people's including the dragon or false god worshippers

God the Father, Jesus the Christ and Elohim the Holy Ghost are the only God of the Heavens and the Universe under it. And there is no other god beside him. He has Holy Angels already witnessing acts upon the earth as well as the Holy Spirit of God himself. God is Almighty and not pleased with the works of the serpent and has warned them that worship false gods to flee those areas as God is a jealous God and will not be mocked.

I don't think Satan or angels have the power to create anything or even alter genetic information. Sin distorted creation. Diseases, mutations, viruses, bad bacteria, all came as a consequence of sin. What was all good, began to transform become distorted. Mutations ( defects) began to multuply with each generation. Actually I think the entire universe, was distorted by sin. The 2nd second Law of thermo dynamics says that things become less ordered and break down over time. The wages of sin is death. But death did not only affect our spiritual nature, it affected all nature. Animals became fearful and dangerous. Christ will restore this imbalance soon.

Thank you for your statement of your current beliefs on those issues.

As a statement not necessarily directed at anyone, but is good direction from The Lord as I understand it:

I don't agree with any religion that believes people get afflictions because of sin as that is a Pandora's box for their members to begin harassing others that are suffering. Issues that appear suspicious regarding those religions:

1. I don't believe children have knowledge of God's specific judgements upon mankind including individuals unless they have received that specific information from God. Then I am suspicious as to if they can discern God. I know Satan often pretends to be God, which is probably why he is the son of perdition. Also judgements of God for his children may be a private matter between a loving Father and that specific child.

2. Sin is death as the new testament spells out. God is slow to anger and full of loving mercy and desires salvation of his creations above their destruction. Jesus paid the price for his Father's creations which is decided by Jesus the Christ. Although the Bible spells out that sin is death, God decides if that sin is forgiven or at some time given back to mankind at what measure that God decides is good for their chastisement.

Those appear to be good understanding from God.

God the Father is King of the Heavens and the Universe, Jesus his beloved Son is Lord of those areas and children and Elohim the Holy Ghost is wonderful as well, and God has many blessings for us which I love about our God.

Cheers!

Original sin corrupted nature. (see Gen. 1-3) Everything was perfect, no flaws, no defects. But if you examine anything up close you begin to see the flaws and that includes the microcosm and macrocosm.
In addition to that a person's sin can cause physical injury or sickness to ourselves and others. God punishes us in many ways, trials, calamities, etc. He gives life and takes it away however He chooses. If one dies of cancer, He allowed it. It may be our fault, poor diet, smoking or it could be a test of faith. It is hard to put a finger on it.
" Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.
John 2:1-3

It was a common belief that illness can be tied to a sin


1 Corinthians 11:27–30: Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. 30 For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.

Galatians 6:7: The idea of "reaping what you sow" suggests that sin can lead to sickness and death

Hi @Ronald David Bruno it is nice to hear from you. I hope all is well for you and your loved ones!

I saw in John 2:1-3 not what you stated after it which was "it was a common belief that a illness can be tied to a sin". Rather the meaning of that verse was that in fact neither the blind man nor his parents were the cause of his blindness and that would include sin of theirs. There are various causes of blindness one example is touching certain environmental toxins which can induce temporary or permanent blindness in one or both eyes. The reason for God's statement in that verse is to say that Jesus, God's only begotten son healed that man's blindness that God was glorified by showing a merciful and loving God that cared about his children enough to tend to their needs. Being blind was certainly a horrible existence especially in the not modern time back then.

I have other matters to attend to, and will leave you with that.

I know that the particular man in that story wasn't blind because of anyone's sin - Jesus stated that. However because the disciples considered that, it must have been a common belief.
This is why I gave other scriptures: 1 Cor. 11:30, taking communion in an unworthy manner may result in the punishment of illness.
> In Numbers 12, Miriam was struck with leprosy after speaking ill of Moses's wife.

> Uzziah, the king violated the law and was struck with sickness.

> Jesus healed an invalid, but warned him to stop sinning or something worse could happen.
