Bible Study Lust out of context?

[Corn Pop]

I know Jesus is the spiritual bread and offers living water but some people seem to take things way out of context with gluttony and sin.

If man dont lust to eat food, they die. If man dont lust to drink water, they die.

Its natural and God design animals eat and drink as lust needs to be there to eat.

Some sins (so called) are not even mentioned in the bible. I haven't researched it properly but maybe you got something there.

Philippians 3:19 - Whose end [is] destruction, whose God [is their] belly, and [whose] glory [is] in their shame, who mind earthly things.

Proverbs 23:20-21 - Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:

So there is something about being a riotous eater of flesh. There is something else about worshiping your own belly but that's idolatry. I get to learn something every day. I could not find a scripture that mentioned that we could not lust for water though. We can't covet our brother's wife... we are not supposed to lust for a woman... but water? Couldn't find that one. It's the 13th commandment maybe? The one that God ran outta room for on that little tablet, right?

Proverbs 23:21 - For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe [a man] with rags.

Psalms 78:18 - And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

--- Okay. Every time I step away I find more stuff. Kiwidan, did you plan this?

 

[Christa12]

Well I think God created hungry, thirsty, and the other physical things just to make us look humane, and that's humane.
Everything is back to our responses, about how do we make it enough for survival.
And let everythings back in God's way and time.

 

[Corn Pop]

Yea. I will go eat my steak and cheese pie and have a think about it.

Somebody quoted this in another thread. It's about eating flesh. From Deuteronomy chapters 12:20-21
I had not seen it before. Permission to eat flesh (worth a look for the context)

20When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.

21 If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
