All of God’s commands have good reasons behind them. Some can be deduced, some can be inferred, and some we don’t know.

Just for the record, I'm not the one putting reasons in God's mouth. Bottom line is you have no Scriptural support for your theories on biblical nutrition.

But it was a nice try.

I have a hard time believing that you believe in God.

If you want to see my logic, which is based in what I understand about God from His book, here it is:

God made everything.

God made certain things for us to be food.

At certain points in history, God said to avoid certain things as food. The main reason was because He said so, but modern day science shows that there are positive health benefits to avoiding much of the foods that were ‘off limits’ in the past.

The things that God made for us to be food were to be good for us because God is good.

I never said I have a ‘theory’ on biblical nutrition. I don’t need Scriptural support for it, the only Scriptural support was God saying a long time ago, don’t eat this and that. Today’s man knows that much of what God said not to eat, well, there is scientific evidence to show there are good reasons not to eat these things. And this is exactly what I would expect from God, that there are benefits to listening to Him when He tells us to do something, or not to do something. You may be upset that He didn’t spell out the details “why” not to eat certain things, but as God He doesn’t have to. If we believe what He says and that He’s a good God and looking out for us, we know what He says is good for us even without knowing the details.

You got trust issues, sounds like to me.
