Milk and Honey

I agree there are vegans who carry the abuse of animals too far.

The land did not have literal milk and honey flowing all over the place. We generally accept the received definition of “milk and honey” as a metaphor meaning flourishing with animals like cows, goats, rams, flowers, not desolate, it was beautiful.  A paradise whose people would lack nothing.

FIRST, 'flowing' connotes the abundance of something.

SECOND, milk is obtained from domesticated livestock. Livestock survives in many habitats, but only overflow with milk in particularly fertile pastures.

THIRD, Bees are found where there are lots of flowers to get the nectar to make honey, so the land had that as well.

A land 'flowing with milk and honey' would be characterized by being incredibly fertile. This would be a land that could support both farming and ranching (agriculture and livestock). Specific to the region, this land would be able to support large quantities of sheep, goats, cattle (all potential sources of milk), see Prov. 27:27, and flowers for the bees to make honey.

Therefore, 'milk and honey' is a symbolic reference to the fertility of the land – it was a productive and prosperous land.

Maybe goats milk was a blessing back then but it is dangerous to use milk now days with all the diseases in cows and we are told the time would come when it WOULD NOT be safe to use it and that time has come LONG ago.

They drank goats milk.

Jesus also ate fish, but does that mean it is safe to eat now with MERCURY, TOXINS AND POISONS in the fish? NO, decidedly NO. Ellen White says not to eat fish Hos 3:5 to 4:3…God is pointing us back to the original diet.

The diet God gave to man is in Gen 1:29 and he is trying to bring us back there……see Act. 3:19-21

PK page 678.2 – one of those is DIET.

“In the time of the end every divine institution is to be restored. The breach made in the law at the time the Sabbath was changed by man, is to be repaired. God's remnant people, standing before the world as reformers, are to show that the law of God is the foundation of all enduring reform and that the Sabbath of the fourth commandment is to stand as a memorial of creation, a constant reminder of the power of God. In clear, distinct lines they are to present the necessity of obedience to all the precepts of the Decalogue. Constrained by the love of Christ, they are to co-operate with Him in building up the waste places. They are to be repairers of the breach, restorers of paths to dwell in. See verse 12.  {PK 678.2}

You can’t separate diet from the Bible because God is our manufacture and He talks to us in every aspect of life.

3 John 2 – Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

The prophet says we won’t be eating flesh if we want to be translated…we need to be eating the original diet plus vegetables. God is trying to bring us back to original diet, Acts 3:21.

The website www.notmilk.com shows how disease is related to humans. VERY good info and this man is not even SDA. He has it nailed with many years of study PROVING the diseases of animals IS transferred to humans.

50% Aids

84% Bovine Leukemia

God gave us the health message in 1863……after that we are to follow what God told the prophet for OUR HEALTH.

There is a place in the Bible where God said eat honey AND He does not mention milk - see Prov. 24: 13

The reason many Adventists do not agree on diet is because they DO NOT read our health books….I have read every one of them and more than once. I have found that as a health educator and Medical Missionary, many twist the SOP to read what they want so they do not have to make dietary changes. We have the CURE for ALL sickness and DISEASE from Jesus in the SOP as He is the one who gave Sister White the message. If we just obey all 14 laws of health we would be healthy. Many think there are only 8 but there are actually 14.

We are NOT called to be vegans, we are called to be HEALTH REFORMERS!!!

ARE YOU A VEGAN OR A HEALTH REFORMER?

“…I consider it a privilege as well as a duty to be a HEALTH REFORMER.”  {CD 492.5}

“…God wants them to be health reformers. He wants them to live up to the light that has been given on this subject...”  {CH 137.2}

“…THE QUESTION IS…ARE WE WILLING TO BE TRUE HEALTH REFORMERS?”  {CD 35.4}

WHEN DID VEGANISM START?

The term vegan was coined in 1944 by Donald Watson when he co-founded the Vegan Society in England, at first to mean “non-dairy vegetarian” and later to refer to “the doctrine that man should live without exploiting animals.” Interest in veganism increased in the 2000s; vegan food became increasingly available in supermarkets and restaurants in many countries, and several top athletes in endurance sports, such as the Ironman triathlon and the ultramarathon, began to practice veganism and raw veganism.

“The health reform is just what the name indicates it to be…There is too great a mixture of foods provided… Soda and saleratus, rich gravies and desserts are used far too freely. We have certainly departed from the simplicity of diet.”  {8MR 172.1}

We all have to do what we are convicted of…..a man convicted against his will is of the same opinion still.
