“Sip no more the beverage of China; no more the drinks of java; what shall you drink at your meals? ... I say, nothing is best; yet cocoa, chocolate, or warm water seasoned, or bread coffee, rice coffee . . . will be good substitutes as they do not inflame.”

Notice she allows chocolate.

Isn’t that like a woman?

And of course, she didn’t know that chocolate also has caffeine in it.

Which, if this were from God, she would have forbidden as well.

She’s just another control freak who feels the need to make others live the way she wants them to and got more mileage out of it by adding Jesus as a window dressing.

1 Timothy 4:1-5 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.

One of the signs of false teachers is requiring abstinence of food.

Funny about that……

You mean like no meat on Friday, only fish? I wonder if they still do that?

If nothing else, EGW proves Scripture correct yet again.

But not in the way SDAs would like.

So true, Metmom. She sounds like she would have been a barrel of fun.

Ya know, chocolate should have been in the top ten of things denied. It is yum-yum, and suitors would gift it to their young ladies.

I guess Miss Ellen liked it too well herself.

Joseph Smith said NOTHING about caffine, but the current thinking in SLC is biased against it.
