None of The Diseases

and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.” Exodus 15:26.

… And there was none feeble among His tribes. Psalm 105:37.

Biblical diet

What does the Bible say about diet?

And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields  which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. Genesis 1:29

… Yet you shall eat the  of the field; Genesis 3:18, NASB

Meat shortens lifespans

• Seven generations before Methuselah, Adam lived for 930 years. Noah lived 950 years. Genesis 5:5; 5:27; 9:29.

• But seven generations from Noah’s son Shem, you come to the patriarch Nahor. Genesis 11:24, 25 says he lived only 119 years.

• Thus, mankind’s life span went down very, very rapidly once they began eating a diet other than what God gave originally.

Permitted meats

You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female; Genesis 7:2

Science agrees with the Bible

‘This shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: you shall eat neither  nor blood.’ ” Leviticus 3:17

Two entire chapters—Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14—are devoted to the distinction between clean and unclean animals.

And you may eat every animal with cloven hooves, having the hoof split into two parts, and that chews the cud, among the animals. Deuteronomy 14:6

Also the swine is unclean for you, … Deuteronomy 14:8

What’s swine? Pig or Pork.

… because it has cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud; you shall not eat their flesh or touch their dead carcasses. Deuteronomy 14:8

¹⁹ whose end is destruction, whose god is their , … Philippians 3:19

⁹ “These you may eat of all that are in the waters: you may eat all that have fins and scales. ¹⁰ And whatever does not have  and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean for you. Deuteronomy 14:9–10

“If you lose this manual, remember one thing: if it has fins and scales, you can eat it. If it doesn’t have fins and scales—such as crab, lobster, shrimp, oyster, clams—don’t eat it, because they have a high level of toxicity.” — Bruce Halstead

“No other animal food offered on the menu of your favorite eating place would be served to you along with it’s feces. Yet this is the case with seafood. It is offered whole, complete with its intestinal tract.” — Prevention Magazine

Peter’s Corrective Vision

Didn’t God show Peter that we may eat unclean animals in Acts 10?

Some people contend that Christ cleansed all food when He was on earth, but if so, Peter knew nothing about it. He had spent three-and-a-half years with the Master and had listened to His instructions. Yet Peter had gathered no intimation that those unclean animals could be eaten.

Now while Peter wondered within himself what this vision which he had seen meant, behold, the men … stood before the gate. Acts 10:17

While Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are seeking you. Acts 10:19

What did God show Peter regarding the meaning of the vision?

Then he said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any  common or unclean. Acts 10:28

Victory

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3 John 2

Jesus tell us in heaven there will be:

… there shall be  more death, … Revelation 21:4

For the  God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7 NIV

I can do  things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
