But its not what GOD was showing peter . what i have CLEANSED call not thou common .
PETER was gonna be sent to the house of gentile .
I am not debating the fact that foods are clean through prayer and etc
I am just saying this was not what was being shown to peter on that house top . it was concerning the gentiles .
God was showing Peter to go with the gentiles by using the demonstration that all foods were cleansed, and may be eaten. And in Mark we see where that happened.

I'm not arguing with you that God gave Peter this message. I'm giving it it's contextual foundation. I'm not sure why that troubles you.

Much love!

What would I do if I didn't have you to correct me about how I see things?

Here, I thought I didn't accuse you of an attack but simply asked you to follow the rules of the forum that you agreed to upon joining.

Thanks for straightening me out.



Trouble is, you're not Jesus.

You might do well to think about that a little.

.
Of course i am not JESUS . and i only thank you for that reminder .
So allow me to remind us of what peter once wrote .
I shall not cease to stir you up to remembrance , EVEN THOUGH you KNOW THE TRUTH , are established IN THE TRUTH .
Now we got us a satanic interfaith finding common ground at work in many places , churches , forums .
AND you bet i am gonna non stop remind the people and expose all works of the harlot . WHO SO MANY
now seem to being unifying with . The HARLOT and her unifed co workers do not slow down
preaching their false love , finding common ground , judge not crap . SO i will not slow down exposing it
and reminding all of reading their bibles for themselves .
WE in a war friend , i am so sorry that many have decided rather to put on the armour of men
Than the armour of GOD . YA aint being accused , its just a reminder .

MAN the more we talk about the LORD ,HIS Truth , HIS words , teachings and warn as we are led
THE BETTER off we are . SO heap it up if i make a thread . just make sure its biblical truth .

Good medical care is priceless—but wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t need doctors anymore? Well, did you know there is a proven way to put a lot of doctors out of work? … Take care of your body! Scientists have sounded the alarm about cholesterol, tobacco, stress, obesity, and alcohol, so why press your luck? God truly cares how you treat your body, and He’s given you a free health plan to go by—the Bible! For amazing facts about how you can have abundant health and longer life, look over this Study Guide—but be sure to read it all before jumping to conclusions!

1. Are health principles really a part of true Bible religion?

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers” (3 John 1:2).

Answer: Yes. The Bible rates health right near the top of the list in importance. A person’s mind, spiritual nature, and body are all interrelated and interdependent. What affects one affects the others. If the body is misused, the mind and the spiritual nature cannot become what God planned they should be—and you won’t be able to live an abundant life. (See John 10:10.)


2. Why did God give health principles to His people?

"The Lord commanded us to observe all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that He might preserve us alive” (Deuteronomy 6:24).
“You shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you” (Exodus 23:25).

Answer: God gave health principles because He knows what is best for the human body. Automobile manufacturers place an operations manual in the glove compartment of each new car because they know what is best for their creation. God, who made our bodies, also has an “operations manual.” It is the Bible. Ignoring God’s “operations manual” often results in disease, twisted thinking, and burned-out lives, just as abusing a car can result in serious car trouble. Following God’s principles results in “saving health” (Psalm 67:2 KJV) and more abundant life (John 10:10). With our cooperation, God can use these great health laws to significantly reduce and eliminate the effects of the diseases of Satan (Psalm 103:2, 3).

3. Do God’s health principles have anything to do with eating and drinking?

“Eat what is good” (Isaiah 55:2).
“Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31).

Answer: Yes. A Christian will even eat and drink differently—all to the glory of God—choosing only “what is good.” If God says a thing is not fit to eat, He must have a good reason. He is not a harsh dictator, but a loving Father. All His counsel is for our good always. The Bible promises, “No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly” (Psalm 84:11). So if God withholds a thing from us, it is because it is not good for us.

Note: No person can eat his or her way into heaven. Only acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior can do that. Ignoring God’s health laws, however, might cause a person to lose his good judgment and fall into sin, even to the point of losing salvation.

4. What did God give people to eat when He created them in a perfect environment?

“God said, ‘See, I have given you every herb that yields seed … every tree whose fruit yields seed. … Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat’ ” (Genesis 1:29; 2:16).

Answer: The diet God gave people in the beginning was fruit, grains, and nuts. Vegetables were added a little later (Genesis 3:18).

5. What items are specifically mentioned by God as being unclean and forbidden?

Answer: In Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14, God points out the following food groups as being unclean. Read both chapters in full.

A. All animals that do not both chew the cud and have a split hoof (Deuteronomy 14:6).

B. All fish and water creatures that do not have both fins and scales (Deuteronomy 14:9). Nearly all fish are clean.

C. All birds of prey, carrion eaters, and fish eaters (Leviticus 11:13–19).

D. Most “creeping things” (or invertebrates) (Leviticus 11:21–44).

Note: These chapters make it clear that most animals, birds, and water creatures people ordinarily eat are clean. There are, however, some notable exceptions. According to God’s rules, the following animals are unclean and are not to be eaten: cats, dogs, horses, camels, eagles, vultures, hogs, squirrels, rabbits, catfish, eels, lobsters, clams, crabs, shrimp, oysters, frogs, and others.
Well we definitely should care for our bodies as it houses the Holy Spirit. But I would say that the really health conscious have elevated healthy living to an idol state.

All things in moderation.

I don't think the staff would appreciate you inviting everyone else to break forum rules simply to create an appearance of normalizing your own disregard for and violation of those rules.

But that's the way of things today, I suppose. If you can't beat 'em (rule/lawbreakers), join 'em—kind of like the all-inclusive crowd, you know.

What you're actually conveying here is that the rule that overshadows all others to you in forum discussion is the anti-ecumenism rule—which actually doesn't appear in the forum rules at all.

As opposed as I am to ecumenism, especially as it is espoused in the "New Humanism" model of evangelism, saying that a certain "gospel" is neither tolerated nor allowed sounds a lot like censorship to me.

You'll get along great with the harlot when she rises to power.

And you're going to love her national Sunday law.

quick question . what are the health benefits of barely . Have you heard anything about that . not beer

I think we should be more inclusive toward beer and beer drinkers. :p

But seriously, barley is valued at 1/3 of that of wheat in the Bible. It was traditionally used as feed for animals. In western society, it is rarely sold at a significant discount compared to wheat. Don't believe the anti-wheat movement propaganda. Organic, glyphosate-free wheat is one of the most nutritionally dense foods available to human beings, even for the vast majority of non-Celiac, gluten sensitive individuals.

Should Christians Be Health-Conscious?

Yes.

We learned from the beginning God created and then MADE “Divisions” (opposites) of numerous things…
Night / Day
Down / Up
Without / With
Etc.

And ALSO;
Plants / Animals / People …

* Plants; to consume / to avoid
* Animals; Clean / Not Clean
* People: without God / with God

In the garden….
Here…reach out, take, eat of the Tree of Life
Here…reach out, take, eat of all other plants
** EXCEPT…
Here…is THIS TREE…of good and evil…. AVOID…DO not reach out, take, eat.

No barrier…around the Tree of good and evil….But a specific WARNING.
Pretty straight forward.

Thousands of Plants grow upon the earth…
Without an others research, documentation, reports, papers……HOW TO KNOW “IF” a plant … or parts of a plant…root, stem, leaves, flowers, fruit……OR even “IF” an ANIMAL is SAFE for a human to EAT?

Plants, soils intentionally sprayed with Poisons, toxins….YUMMY to eat?
(SURE…they sell such food products in the grocery markets for people to BUY and EAT)
Right? :rolleyes:

And the government agency called the FDA, says it’s safe..
Right? :rolleyes:

And there are never “recalls” of contaminated grocery items…
Right? :rolleyes:

And the public at large has NOT had an INCREASE of multiple health issues…in organs, bodily systems, mental stability …
Right? :rolleyes:

And the grocery markets do Not have …
TWO long aisles dedicated to Sauces and Spices and other TASTE enhancers …. (To mask the “poisons / toxins” ??)
Right? :rolleyes:

And the grocery markets do Not have…
A few aisles of “medicines” even “pharmacies” for “special FDA approved” chemical synthetic compounds ?
Right? :rolleyes:

* Ever notice…PET “animals”…even FARM “animals”….ALSO EATING…foods that are mass produced, (with all the additives)…like are sold for human consumption….
ARE the same Pets…and Farm animals…ALSO having “negative” symptoms and health issues LIKE Humans?
(Allergies, tumors, unhealthy skin, hair/fur, etc. ?).
AND…they get in on the …. Pharma plan too!

Ever NOTICE…a government discouragement to grow your own food…(small crowded yards)…and can’t have children working on a farm…”under Child Labor laws!!” And “laws regarding economy disruption, because such food grown and consumed is Private and not on the open market!!)
and the bright idea … OF STERILE “SEEDS” ?

* There are a few rules of thumb…

* If a wild mammal animal will eat it..another animal, a plant root, a plant fruit, a plant leaves etc.……so can a human.
* If a wild mammal animal avoids, such, so should humans.

* IF you must depend on buying your FOOD…First option should be, Locally produced food, that does not use poison sprays, and Ship from other localities.

* Plant some things of your as space permits, for Heirloom seeds, that will produce it’s own seeds to use the next year. (And know how to properly store the seeds)

* IF you must go to the grocery store markets to buy your FOOD…”Organic” labels do mean MORE EXPENSIVE, but does not mean without toxins… Look for local grown.
…..AND REMEMBER….the REAL FOOD is Located along the WALLS of the Grocery stores…
……ALL the JUNK food and highly Processed and Fillers are in the AISLES!!!


What you “consume” IN your body…is NOT only about satisfying a HUNGER, it is supposed to MAINTAIN the Health of your body…

Are bodys are OUT OF THE EARTH.
The Earth is full of minerals and nutrients that sustains a Healthy body, and why we EAT healthy plants out of the earth, and EAT healthy Animals that EAT out of the earth…
Poisons, toxins, are what man does to the FOOD supply…greed, to increase yield, profits, pockets.

Just sharing.

Glory to God,
Taken
