Yes, it is unhealthy to eat octopus or squid, as God created it as a scavenger. It is unhealthy to our body. Eating it is NOT a Salvation issue though.
Chickens must be bad to eat too then, they scaveng their own poop, will eat anything off the ground. Chickens bad too then? i thank God that i do not WORRY about what to eat, or what not to eat.
Mat_6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
Therefore i take no thought about what to eat, or what not to eat. When it is my time to die, i will die. And when i die, Heaven is my destination. Therefore i do not fear death, i know where i am going, and it is far better than this life i live now. So i do not WORRY about what food is clean, or unclean. What food is good for me, or bad for me. Anything that goes into my mouth, i bless it, and Thank God for it, even if it is a Big Mac, or McDonald fries, or a peanut butter shake. i bless and thank God for the mountain dew that i drink, even though the world says it is unhealthy and bad for me. i can eat or drink all things, i have a peace about that that surpasses all understanding.
He that tries to save his/her life, will lose it. Instead of being concerned about what you are eating and drinking, it would be far better for you to be concerned with the sin that is in your life. What you eat or drink will not prevent someone from going to Heaven, but the sin that is in your life, that will prevent you. Be more concerned with the sin in your life, then what you eat or drink.
I'll be glad when brethren in Christ begin recognize that eating away from God's clean list is actually unhealthy to our flesh bodies, instead of always thinking of it as a religious issue.
Know you not that the flesh and the spirit are at enmity with each other. Is it not better to be more concerned with Spiritual Health, than to be concerned with physical health? This flesh that we are in now, is temporary, it will cease to be, and return to dust. All this concern for the physical flesh. i am not saying that you should eat unhealthy, only saying that is not important to the big picture. Store up treasures in Heaven that is everlasting, be concerned with LOVING ONE ANOTHER, moreso than what you are eating. What a person eats is so trivial compared to everlasting life. Strive for those things that are everlasting, not those things that are temporary. The flesh is temporary.
If i die next week because of the food that ate in the past, i assure you it will be my time to die, whether it is by the foods that i ate or a car accident, if it is my time to die, i will die. i could eat Healthy as can be, and still die next week, or even die of a disease, or cancer. Do you not understand it is not what you eat that defiles you. If it is your time to die, you are going to die, REGARDLESS if you are eating right, wrong, good, bad, dietary laws, or no dietary laws. When it is your Time, it is your Time. So then do not worry about what you shall eat, or drink, or wear, that is trivial. Be concerned with your walk with Christ, not what you eat or don't eat.
Eat all the unhealthy foods you want, your body won't be healthy. (And don't forget to pray over those Snickers bars!).
There are people who eat very unhealthy food, and never get sick (i am one of those, praise God for that blessing), and i know people who eat extremely healthy foods and seem to be always sick. Again, it does not matter what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, hearken to the Scriptures.
Gal_6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Notice NOTHING about corruption in the flesh because of what you eat.
1Co 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
1Co 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
1Co 11:30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
Notice, NOTHING about getting sick because of eating unhealthy foods.
Am i therefore condoning eating food that which you know is unhealthy? No, not at all. If the Holy Ghost is convicting you NOT TO EAT something then you should obey the Holy Ghost, if you do not, to YOU it is sinful.
The problem is, and always has been, those who teach others that eating this or that is sinful? This should not be done. For what may be sinful to one person, may not be sinful for another. The Holy Spirit in us, convicts us what is sinful and what is not sinful. The Holy Spirit may convict one that eating pork is sinful, but does not convict another person that eating pork is sinful. If you think it is sinful to eat pork, then for you to eat pork it IS SINFUL. But it is not sinful for others who are not convicted by the Holy Ghost that eating pork is sinful. STOP teaching others what the Holy Ghost convicts YOU of.
Let those who do not eat pork, not judge those who do. And let those who do eat pork, not judge those who don't eat pork. LOVE ONE ANOTHER, Do not JUDGE them. If the Holy Spirit of God convicts someone to not eat pizza, who are you to say otherwise? But let not the one who is convicted to not eat pizza, tell others they can't eat pizza.
i have a piece of unclean food (determined by Leviticus law) in front of me. i pray and Bless that food, and thank Jesus that He has provided me with that food, Who are you to say, that Jesus DID NOT Bless that food, and make it clean? my Faith is such that i can eat all things, and it will not harm me. Because of that Faith, it is manifested. But if you eat with doubt, it is the lack of Faith, that health problems will manifest themselves. If then you doubt you should be eating something, then for YOU, you should not eat it, Because anything done in doubt is not done in Faith.
We Christians are under the law of Liberty, Eat what you want to eat, UNLESS the Holy Spirit convicts you, then YOU and YOU only are not to eat of that.
