Not in real life - in real life scripture condemns "sins against the body" -- not just one of them.
In real life scripture draws a direct connection between the LAWS given by God - and health.
And specifically in this thread - it is JESUS speaking those commands according to Hebrews 8:6-10 - even the commands to not eat diseased meat. And it is Jesus saying that this results in physical health.
Hebrews 8:6-10 is not in any way bringing the clean vs. unclean meat laws into the New Covenant, BECAUSE unclean meat represented Gentiles, and God is showing us that there is neither Jew nor Greek, etc. God only gave these laws to the Jews when he separated them from the rest of the world. But now the gospel is to the whole world.
Just as God told Noah that everything that moves is good for food in Genesis 9,
3
Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs
and Paul spoke to both the Colossians 2:
So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, 17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ. 18 Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking
delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen,
vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase
that is from God.
20 Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as
though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations— 21 “
Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,” 22 which all concern things which perish with the using—according to the commandments and doctrines of men? 23
These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion,
false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.
and Timothy
and commanding to abstain from
foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For
EVERY creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; 5 for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
And the Corinthians:
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 13
Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body
is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord
Notice he says
but all things are not helpful. So if you know meat to be diseased, then that is not helpful so don't eat it, BUT if you do
IT IS NOT A SIN!
In other words we are not under that law, as it was not from the beginning. It was not a moral law. It was ONLY for the Jews to show separation unto Himself, but that separation has been removed!
Do you understand yet, that no one is advocating eating rotten meat! We are saying that IF we did, there is no longer a law against God if you happened to. God has declared what was unclean to now be clean. IT IS WRITTEN.
