1 Corinthians 10:31 "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God".
This tells me, that God wants a healthy body, a sound mind, combined with Spiritual health.
It is absolutely incredible that few Christians, give any thought to the fact, that God made the human body, and therefore knows best....which foods, maintain that body in the best condition possible !
(Fruits, nuts and Grains......and, after sin entered the world, He gave Vegetables)
The Bible gave man the best foods, for the absolute best health, in the beginning with Adam & Eve.
And, they were created PERFECT.
How much more...do we need the best foods possible, in our far, far, less than perfect bodies !!!
How many people understand 'why' God gave flesh foods to man ?
Until flesh meats were given, men lived to be 700-900+ years of age, with absolutely no diseases at all.
After God gave men to eat flesh foods, diseases became known...and men's life-span decreased....the Bible shows that fact !
Why do you think men ages,were record, from Adam down to a little past Abraham ?
God knew, the longer men lived, the more sin & evil men would do.
He knew eating flesh foods would, reduce men's ages more quickly.
The importance of caring for the health should be taught as a Bible requirement.
Perfect obedience to God's commands calls for conformity to the laws of the being.
The science of education includes as full a knowledge of physiology as can be obtained.
No one can properly understand his obligations to God unless he understands clearly his obligations to himself as God's property.
He who remains in sinful ignorance of the laws of life and health, or who willfully violates these laws, sins against God.
6:19 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 ?
6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
If they are sick, they send for the doctor--believe whatever he may tell, and swallow anything he may prescribe; for do they not pay him a liberal fee, and is it not his business to understand their physical ailments, and what to prescribe to make them well, without their being troubled with the matter? ...
So closely is health related to our happiness, that we cannot have the latter without the former.
A practical knowledge of the science of human life is necessary in order to glorify God in our bodies.
It is therefore of the highest importance that among the studies selected for childhood, physiology should occupy the first place.
How few know anything about the structure and functions of their own bodies and of nature's laws!
Many are drifting about without knowledge, like a ship at sea without compass or anchor; and what is more, they are not interested to learn how to keep their bodies in a healthy condition and prevent disease.
Self-Denial Essential (At least that was what Jesus Christ said ! )
The indulgence of animal appetites has degraded and enslaved many.
Self-denial and a restraint upon the animal appetites are necessary to elevate and establish an improved condition of health and morals, and purify corrupted society.
Every violation of principle in eating and drinking blunts the perceptive (spiritual) faculties, making it impossible for them to appreciate or place the right value upon eternal things.
It is of the greatest importance that mankind should not be ignorant in regard to the consequences of excess.
Temperance in all things is necessary to health and the development and growth of a good Christian character.
Those who transgress the laws of God in their physical organism will not be less slow to violate the law of God spoken from Sinai.
Those who will not, after the light has come to them, eat and drink from principle instead of being controlled by appetite, will not be interested in regard to being governed by principle, in other things.
Scripture tells us that God's people were not satisfied with the food God had provided them, they complained that they were hungry for meat.
After much complaining, God granted them their wish....in the form of quail, hundreds upon hundreds of them.....
Numbers 11:33 "And while the flesh [was] yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
11:34 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted".
Galations 6:7 "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; (Disease ? ) but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not".
