WHAT TO EAT OR NOT

WHAT TO EAT OR NOT

“One man has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only.” Rom. 14:2

 

In his approach to the problem of what is right to eat and permissible according to the view of the Creator, Paul takes two concrete examples "One believeth that he may eat all things; another . . . eateth herbs." Now which is right? There are many who according to their view leafy green things promote the best health and they recite studies to prove their view. Being a diabetic for over 50 years there are many things I have been warned to avoid and that due to prior studies within the diabetic realm that prove people can commit suicide by their abusive usage of food. Using a pump and learning the carb values of all foods as Paul here suggests is the correct view of the Creator Who says the first is right doctrinally, because God has given us everything in Christ, and if we give thanks to God we have a right to eat them. How much insulin determines the result of ingesting what I choose for my meals. All those distinctions in eating and drinking were swept away in Christ. Two professions I have determined that need careful consideration after living on this earth for 70 years is this, one needs to be extremely careful in the religious and the medical realm in the one they allow to exercise that calling, for they can kill you or bring you to health in their knowledge of their realm they practice. The best Teacher in both of these realms is the Master and Lord of John 13:13. He will not lead you astray. And the Dr. or the Pastor who care to argue with Him over these issues is a fool and has more to learn.
