SDA part 5
Again I cite Acts 10: 13 -15 - God tells Peter that EVERYTHING
is Good for eating as HE {God} has made everything clean.
This doesn't mean that we go & pig out in everything we eat
- but that we eat everything in moderation & Enjoy God's gifts juts
as they are give & that we do not place any restrictions upon anyone
= but allow each person to make his or hew own choice.
Juts as Paul tells us in Romans 14: 6 - 8 what ever we do we should
do it unto the Lord & not our selves. In 1 Corinthians 8:8 Paul tells
us again - that Food does not bring us any closer to God. We are
NO Worse of if we eat one thing or another.
Jesus tells us that what comes out of our mouth is what defiles
us as these things come from the heart - that is when we speak - we are
in effect speaking from the heart & not from our stomach. Matthew 12:
34 -37 - Matthew 15: 10 -11 & Verses
16 - 20
James tells us this: " Not many of you should presume to be teachers,
my brothers, because you know that we we who each will be judged
more strictly. We all stumble in many ways,. If anyone is never at fault
in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his body in check. When
we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn
the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are
so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small
rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Like wise the tongue is a small
part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest
is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue is also a fire a world of evil
among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole
course of his life on fire by hell." James 3: 1-6 Please read rest of the
chapter also.
As you can see from just few scriptures - it is what comes OUT
of person that defiles him & not what goes in!!
Again I say - little of anything is good for the soul - but over
doing it is bad, as we became controlled by our desires & in
turn we do not have control over our desires, but they control us.
Hope this helps you just a little bit to see that we must be careful
what we do & who we follow.
In Christ we have complete freedom to enjoy His Gifts - in moderation
that is.
