    I do not disagree with Paul one iota.

    Joel Osteen promoting SDA health message!

    foods, meats....what's the difference?? Ok. Let's use the word foods, as you like. It doesn't change anything at all. Some things that people eat are not food. What exactly is our difference here? I am not interested in the least in having any argument with you, RealDeal. I care only...

    1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to...

    I haven't read every post on this thread, nor do I anticipate taking the time to do so. Please save me the time and cooperate.

    Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 RealDeal, make it easy on us so we don't miss anything here. Post your 'seven references' one at a time and we will study them out.

    They are not contradictions. They are misunderstanding.

    Sorry. You are pumped full of misunderstandings, RealDeal. Appetite was the vehicle, the enticement, used by satan. And it still is today! Why do you suppose something so successful would be abandoned for his use? He has approximately 6000 years of experience deceiving man. And the power...

    Adam and Eve were designed to live forever. So it was with all of creation. Which means there would be no killing of animals, not by man nor beast. So, the diet is not irrelevant at all. Don't you see that??

    Amen, sunlover. God has given His eight laws of health. If we ignore them, we are abusing our bodies, His temple. Of course there are repercussions, consequences, for disobedience. And ignoring what He has taught us is disobedience. Sunshine, Temperance, Air, Rest, Trust in God...

    I didn't say there were no animals! I said there were no carnivores. No animal ate another animal, even the dogs and lions ate plant based diets. In the book of Genesis that the 'manufacturer' of our bodies gave the very best fuel to run these bodies on. I compare the concept to that of...

    Of course Adam and Eve were vegetarians. In fact, there were no carnivores in The Garden at all! There was no death. No death at the hands, claws, or teeth of any creature.

    What scripture are you using to come up with Paul saying all food is clean?

    Joel Osteen promoting SDA health message!

    When Peter saw the vision of the sheet with all sorts of animals, he was correct in his response. He never ate what God said is unclean. He knew these things were never considered food in the first place, which is why he was initially confused. But read on for the explaination of this vision...

    Poor health is most often a result of disobedience. Notice I did not say always. But most often. God has His purposes. We do know that about 97% of illness could be prevented by simple obedience to His instruction. This includes diabetes, heart disease, cancers, auto-immune disease...
