>>>There are nutrients our bodies need that only meat provides. God’s telling men to eat meat was not necessarily a condescension. That’s pure speculation that that is why God *allowed* people to eat meat.>>>

People live longer and healthier lives on a balanced vegetarian diet. You can’t improve on God.

>>>God provided grain as well, and is an advocate for bread, which I doubt very much was made with refined white flour.>>>

We see throughout scripture, God’s original diet was the best. This text is in the garden of Eden, no meat because there was no death. Fruits, grains, nuts, vegetables. Then we see God calling Isreal out of Egypt after they had been in Egypt for 400 years. And what does God supply them with? Manna from heaven......no meat. They ended up complaining because they didn’t have meat. They longed for the “fleshpots” of Egypt.

So God is angry and gives them so much meat, quail, it comes out of their nostrils.

Daniel Chapter 1. Daniel and his 3 hebrew friends reject the King’s rich food and challenge them. They will eat no meat, only the food God intended and drink no wine. After 10 days, they are healthier, wiser and even better looking!

We were never designed to eat meat. How utterly ridiculous. Meat is the result of sin, because death is the result of sin. God gave Noah permission to eat flesh food because vegetation was all dead after the flood. This is the first itme we see God giving man permission to eat meat.

Jesus ate fish because Jesus finds us where we are. Thousands of years had passed and yes eating meat, clean meat is not a sin. But if you want colon cancer, be my guest. I want to go to heaven first class, not coach.

>>>Human beings were not designed to eat grains. We are omnivores, yes, but our teeth and digestive systems are designed for protein and fat optimization. Inulin and other fibers are not digestible despite everything we’ve been told.>>>>

I think I’ll go with the actual designer of the human being and his original diet.

Genesis 1: 29 and 30:

Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

Didn’t we learn from the OJ jury. Facts mean nothing to juries today. Juries decide by race and then politics. In that order.

Yeah, I noticed this one didn’t seem to have a California woked out kind of bias.

Amen. And let’s not forget Christ chose a whole nation to be witnesses to the world of a loving merciful Savior. He chose them. But they failed and Christ wept over Israel.

Christ chooses all, he knocks on every door, but he does not force anyone. And he grieves over those that do not open the door just as Israel chose not to. And Christ wept over that nation. He wept over Jerusalem. And finally, the took the kingdom from that and gave it a new nation that would bear fruit.....”The Kingdom has been taken from you and given a new nation that will bear fruit”....Matthew 21:43.

This destroys today’s dispensaitonalism that focused on the physical nation of Israel being relevant in Prophecy. WE are all now spiritual Israel......”ye be Christ, ye be Abraham”

Rome is where to look for prophecy and the little horn of Daniel 7. Her false system of religion , her wound has healed.......and the world will soon marvel after her again.

They won’t be able to sit in their underwear all day pretending to work while they spend hours on Facebook and shopping on Amazon. Bummer.....

As usual, my favorite song from an artist is one that I don’t think was a hit. But as the comment on youtube says....and I agree.....one of the most beautiful songs ever written and what a rendition .....Franki Valli, so stunning, so beautiful:

Yes, probably the most misunderstood Christian Protestant Denomination. We are simply Protestants. We are Lutherans becaue we believe in Righteousness by faith, (alone not keeping the Sabbath or the law...that’s the evidence of faith, the law is the standard, the 10 commandments).....we are baptists because we believe in baptism by immersion, we are methodists because we believe in living a life of obedience (holy living) to the best of our ability.....and then we have prophecy and we believe the fourth commandment will be a very controverted issue in the end.

The protestants of old recognized who the litle horn of Daniel 7 was and we follow in believing that. Daniel and Revelation go together and interpret each other.

Finally, we believe we are in end times and God is preparing a people for translation. The health message of the Bible, God’s original diet is a healthy one. In fact, National Geographic identified Loma Linda Ca as a place where people live an average of 8 or so years longer than the general population. Loma Linda is home of Seventh day Adventist, our Medical school, our largest church, and so many doctors and health care professsionals.

There are other distinctive beliefs, we dont believe the bible teaches anything about a disembodied soul that departs at death. The Bible says death is a sleep until Christ returns. Then the dead are raised....to meet him in the air and go home. We also don’t view the Old Testament as Jew and Law, and the New Testament is Grace and Christian. God never had 2 ways of saving anyone. We believe we are Spiritual Israel.....Paul said “ye be Christ, ye be Abraham” and Jesus said he took the Kingdom away from Israel and has given it to a new nation. Physical Israel is not relevant to end time prophecy.......We keep our eyes on Rome and that false system. We dont judge people....just the system that claims to be God on earth, to forgive sins and even to change the law of God. The catechism says Sunday is the Lord’s day, the first day but we disagree. Throughout scripture the 7th day is God’s holy day and only God can make anything holy.

I know many here disagree but that is how I understand the Bible and that is why I am a Christian first, a Protestant second and a Seventh day Adventist third.....in that order.

We study the Bible a lot....we are protestants. Our message is exploding around the world too....

Can’t be all that bad.......

“We go to California on business and it’s like everyone is on their period. Angry, nasty, frowns, crappy people for the most part.”

>>>Socialism and leftism tend to do that to people.>>>

But hey...they got good weather, beaches and celebrities. So they got that going for them.....(it’s all they talk about too)

>>>My wife is from California. Sonoma County born and raised. She moved here 26 years ago and she says the same thing.

The only thing wrong with California is that it’s infested with Californians.>>>

So funny, so true, so much wisdom. We go to California on business and it’s like everyone is on their period. Angry, nasty, frowns, crappy people for the most part.

>>>The only thing wrong with California is Californians>>>

Exactly as seen by this pigeoninthepark clown. He exemplifies Californians and I lived there for 50 years...fled to Texas 15 years ago. They live in some kind of alternative universe. Denial, arrogant, foolish......beautiful state...ugly people.

This pigeoninthepark dude is off his meds. Texas more illegals than citizens? LOL.....Texas does have more doctors than any state in the union. I think California leads in lawyers.

Everybody in California must lie I guess including this clown.

Because nobody does riots like L.A. They set the standard. Amateur hour everywhere else.

>>>Or our Jesus, while still on the cross, assuring the penitent thief, “Today you will be with me in Paradise”. But maybe Apostle Paul and our Lord Jesus were both confused./S>>>

Or you could realize that the translators added puncuation. Translators who believed in an immortal soul. So let’s move the comma over one word.......Jesus says.....I say to you TODAY, (comma)...You will be with me in Paradise.

And to clinch it, we know Jesus didn’t go to paradise that Friday. He died. He went to a tomb. He was dead. If he didn’t die, none of us have a chance because there is no remission of sin without the shedding of blood....death. God had to die.

But you have him living, never really dying.....no, taking a thief to heaven. John 3:16.....God GAVE his only begotton. Jesus died so I could live.

Jesus made a promise on that day, a day when all hope was lost, a day when that thief didn’t think he had a chance...and Jesus says......I SAY TO YOU TODAY....I’m telling you NOW, on this day.....that.......You will be with me in paradise.

Puncuation is not in the original manuscripts......it was added by translators.

Ok, but I kinda figured you got the jab. Thanks.

Amen.....now that’s what I’m talkin bout. Lord come quickly...I wanna go home! A home Ive never been to.

I think a lot here on FR did too. I can see the dynamics. Those hostile to something like this probably took the jab. Those who didn’t are saying.....I told you so. Interesting to see here.
