In Leviticus 7:22-26, it states that you should not eat the fat of cattle, sheep, or goats. That is why they were to cook the fat out of the animal. Eli's sons did not cook the meat long enough and they were considered evil and wicked.

The point is doctors tell us the same today. It is NOT healthy to eat the fat of animals. You should eat as lean as possible although I try to avoid meat. When you boil the meat the fat floats to the surface and you skim it off. My mom use to do that with what was left of the thanksgiving turkey. Her soup was really good. She was a really good cook. All the gunk would float to the surface and she would skim it off.

Wrong.
Leviticus 7:22-24 says: And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 23 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: u‘You shall not eat any fat, of ox or sheep or goat. 24 And the fat of an animal that dies naturally, and the fat of what is torn by wild beasts, may be used in any other way; but you shall by no means eat it.
It's not saying that the Israelites couldn't eat fat. It was essentially saying do not eat carrion.

Fat IS fine to eat. In moderation. Anything is fine in moderation.

I am talking about diet and the food we eat.

You mean like when science tells us bacon is bad for us, then tells us bacon is good for us, then tells us bacon is bad for us, then ...

Eli's son are called evil and wicked because they ate the fat on the meat before it was boiled off.

Um ... no.

1 Samuel 2:12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.

Science, IE Dr Ornish has done studies and shows us how true the Bible is.

So did M. R. DeHaan, whose book impressed me to no end when I first got saved.

So if we do not follow our Bible to eat right there is a price to pay for that.

I'll grant you that the dietary laws in the Bible are right on the money.

I believe we would be healthier if we followed them.

But that's a FAR CRY from being an example of science teaching us to follow the Bible.

If we listened to today's science, we'd all be atheists.

Those who are not atheists, are not atheists in spite of science, not with respect to it.

They just went in and checked me. No stents, no ballons so I am clear. They were surprised because they put a stent in my 20 years ago. But now I follow my Bible to try to eat right.

Amen! Good for you!

But you've got it backwards.

The Bible teaches us to follow [godly] science.

Not the other way around.

Science is saying that. I went through cardio rehab and diet was a HUGE part of that. Everyone wants to fight for their junk food even though it is killing them. A diet high in saturated fat can increase the risk of heart disease. My doctor says people go to mcdonalds and feel fine. Then 10 years later they get sick. There is a delay.

Were they evil and wicked because they did not cook the meat long enough?

Or did they not cook the meat long enough because they were evil and wicked?

You're just entirely and massively wrong.

So what in green blazes does that have to do with science teaching us to follow the Bible?

You put a Bible in a scientist's hand today, and It will probably burn his fingers.

(Okay, I'm exaggerating -- a little.)

Just like science.

How do you think we got Covid?

Leviticus 11:19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

While scientists were laughing their heads off, saying the Bible considers bats as fowl, people took to eating them.

As much as you like being an academian.

I know that you it's an insult, but I am not in any shape or form an 'academian'. Disagreeing with you does not qualify me or anyone as an 'academian'. It just means we disagree with you. Learn the difference or keep your peace.
