I thought this might be a more appropriate place to discuss this issue.
Where do these people come up with this stupid stuff? Who cares. I am so sick of liberals asking stupid questions. Would Jesus use the computer was another question they asked a while back....Idiots!!!
How about coffee and tea. Are they clean or unclean?
Which Bible? King James? I don’t read that one. That must be where these crazies are getting their information.
It's in the bible. The foods that the Lord Christ designated as being unfit for human consumption are listed in Leviticus chapter 11.
I can't find references to coffee or tea in Leviticus chapter 11.
Nothing like a big hunk of grilled venison that’s for sure.
a. All flying insects that creep on all fours shall be an abomination to you: Among insects, any creeping insect was unkosher (such as ants or grubs). Yet if there were a flying insect with legs jointed above their feet, these could be eaten. Good examples of kosher insects include the locust, the cricket, and the grasshopper.
Great tell those soldiers who are starving and have to eat ants that they are going to hell. Wonderful. You know this is King James who was a person. The only Bible that was spoken directly by God was the Catholic version. Not sure if you knew that.
Me neither...
What about section 89 of the Doctrine & Covenants?
I didn't know that. But thanks for the information.
And I don't think that soldiers who eat ants are going to go to hell either.
Beats me. I'm not sure I've ever read any LDS literature.
Hmmm. I want some bacon.
Would Jesus recycle injet cartridges and old cellphones in the appropriate recycling bin?
Well, Mormons are Christian and this is what their Word of Wisdom says....
The Word of Wisdom is a law of health revealed by the Lord for the physical and spiritual benefit of His children. On February 27, 1833, as recorded in section 89 of the Doctrine and Covenants, the Lord revealed which foods are good for us to eat and which substances are not good for the human body. He also promised health, protection, knowledge, and wisdom to those who obey the Word of Wisdom.
You cannot be baptized into the true Church of Jesus Christ unless you abide this commandment. So obviously Jesus, through Paul has not made any food clean at all.....in fact you can now add tea and coffee to the list of unclean substances.
In the Word of Wisdom, the Lord revealed that the following substances are harmful:
Alcoholic drinks (see D&C 89:5–7).
Tobacco (see D&C 89:8).
Tea and coffee (see D&C 89:9; latter-day prophets have taught that the term “hot drinks,” as written in this verse, refers to tea and coffee).
Will the returned Christ even NEED a printer or cellphone?
Although the LDS may have many sincere Christians or at least potential Christians among the organization, I don't think the LDS is the church of God on earth today. Therefore I don't recognize these as pronouncements from the Lord.
