God's original plan called for mankind to be
vegetarians. That all changed when Adam and Eve sinned; as a result,
Jesus adjusted the diet for humanity and provided instructions to
determine what animals, birds and fish are clean from toxins and
should be eaten. While He did not specifically mention germs and
viruses, God told the Israelites to keep their cookware, utensils
and clothing clean. History reveals devastating epidemics in which
millions were killed when humanity failed to adhere to God's command
concerning hygiene. Food is an important part of our lives because
it provides sustenance but it can also make you sick. Processed
foods today are made with genetically modified plants, inexpensive
oils, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, and
other chemicals. Unless you're cooking from scratch, eating
processed foods is like playing Russian roulette with your health.
On the other hand, eating the right kinds of foods can make your
body last longer and extend your time on earth. Isn't that what it
is all about? Be careful what you eat or you will go to heaven
earlier than expected. God has given you the choice of how to live
and die. Make decisions that are good for your body! |
