MEAT
IS JUST NOT SAFE TO EAT ANYMORE. Have you
ever read what the Bible and inspiration says about it? There is so much, I don’t know what to leave
out, but here are some very good quotes that spoke to my heart.
If you read
Genesis 5:5, 5:8, 5:11, 5:14 and 9:29 you
will see that the life of the race BEFORE the flood was that man lived
much longer.
The
life span was drastically shortened after the flood when man was permitted to eat meat. Genesis 11:10-32, 25:7, 35:28, 47:28, and 50:26
One
more significant change was recorded after the flood in Gen 11:28 and that was a child died before a parent.
Did
you know there was a stipulation given to man when eating meat? Lev. 3:17, 7: 26, 27 & 17:10-14…it says NO FAT
or BLOOD!
Do
you know that God ONLY gave permission to eat animal food to shorten their
sinful lives? CD 373.
“Flesh
meat creates disease and insubordination.” CD 375
“Vegetables,
fruits and grains should compose our diet. Not an ounce
of flesh meat should enter our stomachs. The
eating of flesh is unnatural.” CD 380
“Our
habits of eating and drinking show whether we are of the world or among the number
whom the Lord by His mighty cleaver of truth
has separated from the world. These are His
peculiar people, zealous of good works.” CD 379
“God
gave rebellious Israel flesh, but His curse was with it. Thousands
of them died while the meat they desired was between their teeth. We have the warning for us NOT to do as they did.” CD
379
“How
can those who are seeking to become pure, refined, and holy, that they may have
the companionship of heavenly angels, continue to use as food anything that has
so harmful and effect on soul and body?” CD 380
“Among
those who are waiting for the coming of the Lord, MEAT EATING WILL EVENTUALLY BE DONE
AWAY;
flesh will cease to form a part of their diet.” CD 380-381
Some of the
most popular meats have been tested and rejected by failing to meet minimum
health standards.
Consumer
Reports magazine made an extensive research
on hamburgers and gave the results in August, 1971. “A shocking large percentage of the hamburger we
purchased was well on the way to putrefaction.”
Ralph Nader, whose organization did a prolonged investigation
of packing houses, summed up their findings on hamburgers and hot dogs
in the Florida magazine November 7, 1971:
“All these PROCESSED MEATS constitute an imaginative
food innovation; they are often used as a handy and profitable dump that allows
the packers to get rid of their scraps, substandard or diseased meat, and their
less desirable cuts. All they
do is douse all these inferior leftovers with coloring and seasoning agents,
and market them to an unsuspecting public.”
Court
evidence has shown that contaminated meat, horse meat, and meat from diseased
animals that was originally slated for dog or cat food has often wound up as
hamburger or sausage; while lungs,
eyeballs, pig blood and chopped hides are mixed into hot dogs and luncheon
meats.
“To
reduce the stench and foul taste, such meat is frequently impregnated with
sulfite, an illegal additive that gives old decaying meat a healthy pink blush. Since the meat used is often filthy,
detergents are frequently used to wash off the dirt, and to stretch profits,
so-called binders are added to hold the shreds of meat together---generally
cereals, but occasionally sawdust.”
If
that was 1971 it must be worse now….and I sure don’t want to be eating sulfite,
detergents and sawdust! Do you?
“A
diet of flesh meat tends to develop animalism…animalism lessens spirituality, rendering the mind incapable of
understanding truth.” CD 381
“Those
who use flesh meat disregard all the warnings that God has given concerning
this question. They have not the slightest excuse for eating the flesh of
dead animals. MANY TIMES WHEN MEAT IS EATEN, IT DECAYS IN THE STOMACH,
AND CREATES DISEASE. Cancers, tumors, and pulmonary
diseases are largely caused by meat eating.” CD 383
“When
will those who know the truth take their stand on the side of right principles
for time and for eternity? When will they
be true to the principles of health reform? When
will they learn that it is dangerous to use flesh meat? I am instructed to say that if ever meat eating were
safe, it is not safe now.” CD 384
“Cancers,
tumors, and all inflammatory diseases are largely caused by meat eating.” CD 388
“The
meat diet is the serious question. Shall
human beings live on the flesh of dead animals? THE ANSWER, from the
light that GOD HAS GIVEN IS, NO, DECIDEDLY NO.” CD 388
“It
is impossible for those who make free use of flesh meats to have an unclouded
brain and an active intellect.” CD 389
“The
intellectual, the moral, and the physical powers are depreciated by the
habitual use of flesh meats.
Meat
eating deranges the system, beclouds the intellect, and blunts the moral
sensibilities. We say to you, dear brother and sister, your
safest course is to let meat alone.” CD 391
“Meat
is not essential for health or strength…All the elements of nutrition are
contained in the fruits, vegetables, and grains.” CD 395
“THE
LIABILITY TO TAKE DISEASE IS INCREASED TENFOLD BY MEAT EATING.” CD 386
“There
are those among Seventh-day Adventists who will not heed the light given them
in regard to this matter. They make flesh
meat a part of their diet. Disease comes upon them. Sick
and suffering as a result of their own wrong course, they ask for the prayers
of the servants of God. But how can the Lord work in their behalf when
they are not willing to do His will, when THEY REFUSE TO HEED HIS INSTRUCTION in
regard to health reform?” CD 400
“Flesh
foods are injurious to the physical well-being, and we should learn to do
without them. Those who are in a position where it is
possible to secure a vegetarian diet, but WHO CHOOSE TO FOLLOW THEIR OWN PREFERENCES in this matter, eating and drinking as
they please, will
gradually grow careless of the instruction the Lord has given regarding other
phases of the present truth, and will lose
their perception of what is truth; they will surely reap as they have
sown.” CD 402
“...Dead
carcasses should always be looked upon as not fit to compose the diet of
Christians.” CD 414
There is so
much in the SOP for us to read and learn its amazing….God really does want us
to change our diets and go back to the original one He gave us in the beginning.
In
the light of so much counsel on the subject, how can we explain why almost half
of our people still feed on the dead bodies of animals?
DO
YOU KNOW WHAT THE DEFINITION OF FOOD IS?
It
is things that give the body nutrition by the same time NOT causing harm. Let’s eat real food then and
not cause harm to our body that God gave us.
Let’s
be the peculiar people we were called to be and live the truth we have been
given by God. May God bless you as you improve your diet and health so
you can hear the Holy Spirit speaking to you!
