This is a simple issue - no doctrine needed. We can help people live more healthfully.

Jugdment on what people eat as foods does not come as a part of teaching the kingdom of God.


Rom 14:13Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in [his] brother's way.
Rom 14:14I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that [there is] nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him [it is] unclean.
Rom 14:15But if thy brother be grieved with [thy] meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
Rom 14:16Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
Rom 14:17For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Rom 14:18For he that in these things serveth Christ [is] acceptable to God, and approved of men.
Rom 14:19Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
Rom 14:20For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil for that man who eateth with offence.
Rom 14:21[It is] good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [any thing] whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
Rom 14:22Hast thou faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Happy [is] he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
Rom 14:23And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because [he eateth] not of faith: for whatsoever [is] not of faith is sin.

Yes my brother, Some people need to read these text over and over until the propper lesson given from God about meat eating, sinks into their hearts.

True doctrines are not reasoned, they are written line upon line. We just need to present them to settle issues.

I do believe that health should be a part of our beliefs as Christians.

I Corinthians 6:19-20 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

In context of course that passage is speaking of sexual immorality. What it has to say about food doesn't help SDA traditions.

Edit to add: Of course I do believe God wants good things for us on earth, too, including us being healthy.
