GOD'S FUEL FOR THE HUMAN BODY

As believers in The Creator God of the whole universe, we believe that He is a Loving God and that our bodies are very complex machines which He created to live forever. God is like a manufacturer, let us say, of a car. We buy a new car and, even when we buy a used car we might still, get the owner’s manual! I believe that God did give us an owner’s manual in the Holy Scriptures. He has given us instructions regarding the Human Body’s fuel. Some of the fuel that Man has chosen to use for this wonderful machine, the Human Body, is not what God recommended!

Yes, when we do not use fuel recommended by God, it is like mixing sugar with gas! Or instead of using gasoline, we use diesel, or a different octane, and sometimes it is even like putting sand with the engine oil. So not following the dietary instructions in Holy Scriptures is one of the main reasons why some people think the Bible has been changed!

Let us take a look at what God intended for Man to eat when He created him. For that we turn to Holy Scriptures. All Biblical texts quoted below are from the New International Version “NIV”.

In the Torah/the Old Testament we read in the book of Beginnings/Genesis chapter 1 verses 29 and 30:

^“29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. ³⁰ And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food." And it was so.”

So the first diet that God gave Man was not only vegetarian but even vegan. Notice that even the animals were herbivorous.

We are not here to advocate any kind of diet; we are here to discuss what happened after sin entered the World. Our Father Adam and our Mother Eve disobeyed God and then were fruitful and multiplied. We do not know when Man started to eat meat but we know that some of the things Man ate, God had designated as clean and unclean, when it came to meat (animals, fish, and birds). It was not with the Jewish people, as some claim, that it started. We hear from some people sometimes that eating good healthy food, healthy living, and doing the right thing started with certain teachings or certain revelations. But God gave His instructions even before any of these so called religions existed, before the flood. I hope that you believe in the flood! Let us see what is mentioned in the Old Testament, The Torah, about that. In the Book of Beginnings, Genesis chapter 7 verses 1 through 3, here God is speaking to Noah, who built the ark:

¹ The LORD then said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. ² Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, ³ and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.

Did you notice that God said the “clean” and “unclean”, even before the flood? Seven of the clean animals, two of the unclean! Why was that? If we go to verse 20 of Genesis chapter 8 we will find the answer:

^“20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it.”

So it was not only for eating but also for sacrificing that they needed to keep more of the clean animals and birds than the unclean. But they needed some of every species to preserve it through the period of the flood.

MUSLIMS AND ISLAM WERE PART OF THE TWIN TOWERS?

A very interesting Article written by SAMUEL G. FREEDMAN and published in September 10, 2010 in "New York Times". Very interesting and that should lead us to some reflexion.

RANSOMED BY GOD'S TREMENDOUS SACRIFICE!

God impressed upon us to study many important aspects of His Holy Scriptures with you during the past few months.

For this last study, we are concentrating on a subject we referenced in many of our previous studies: God asking our Father Abraham to sacrifice his son.

In faith Father Abraham went through the whole process to the point of raising the knife in preparation to slaughter his son, but at that very moment the Angel of the Lord commanded him to stop! The Angel showed Abraham that God had provided a lamb to replace his son.

Abraham had a choice; either accept the gift from Heaven or kill his son. He accepted God's substitute lamb, offered it as a sacrifice, and went back home with his son.

In this study, we are developing what the Holy Scriptures say about The Lamb of God in the Gospel of John, chapter 1, verse 29, where John/Yehya the Baptist, proclaims as he saw Jesus coming toward him: "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!".

Today, we also have a choice like Father Abraham to escape the wages of sin and accept God's Gift to live forever enjoying Love, Justice, and Peace.
