Biblical Diet- Should we eat meat? 11/15/2009
Grace and peace upon you, As some of you know, part of my ministry is in health, fasting and wellness. When I first started scribing on the ministry's website, I mentioned the need to become vegetarian -- focusing mainly on raw foods-- and removing meat from my diet. Today, I was lead to the following scriptures in the Bible: Acts 10: 23-48, Acts 11: 1-18 Romans 14 I want to be sure that everyone understands that although it is a personal choice that I am making, it is not ideal for everyone and if we are going to become divided as a people about what to eat and what not to eat according to scriptures in the Old Testament vs. scriptures in the New Testament than we are in error. For we eat from faith and it is between us and God, not for us to pass judgment on others if they choose to eat meat. (see Romans 14) A book I have been reading and highly recommend is Dr. Joseph Christiano's Bloodtypes, Bodytypes and You. I saw him on a Paula White show and eating according to your blood type and intuitive eating (listening and observing how your body/skin/hair reacts to certain foods) is the route I am taking. Hopefully, these scriptures will bless some of you struggling with your diet and figuring out what to eat according to the Bible. Please be sure to avoid all silly confrontations with people who are ready to debate for hours about what we are suppose to be eating. Toss Romans 14 at them in a spirit of love and keep moving :) Love you, Sis K.D. |
