It's strange but you know,there are doctors that advocate healthy eating, preventive medicine versus just prescribing pills.
However not everything can be managed by life style change...for example diabetes.
These bodies are not made to last forever, but one day God will return and give us ones that are meant to last for an eternity with Him.
Here is her original comment. "These bodies are not made to last forever." I simply refuted that comment. It is untrue. It is patently false. So I called her out on it, and she chose to tell me I insulted her because I stated the truth. It is dangerous for her to be posting things here that may mislead other people. She is leading them astray in this area, much as a ignorant comment, or a sinful deed by a Christian may turn someone away from the message of Christ. We have a higher calling and responsibility to be a little more careful in what we say and do, and yet she is making these statements like they are fact.
And I ask her how much has she studied the bible's nutritional comments? How many books has she read on the subject?
How many times has she tried this diet so she can say that she knows it doesn't work? How often has she fasted?
She should at least be a little humble and say, hey maybe I need to investigate this. Maybe Joseph knows a little bit about this. No shame there. No one can know everything. I know when I am not well versed in a subject I keep quiet, listen, and learn. I can always fact check it later on.
But some people here just type on in blissful ignorance stating things they have not seriously meditated on.
Our bodies were made to last forever. They won't last in this form forever, because of our sin. But they were created to last forever under the right conditions. The bible states it.
Her original statement is incorrect, just like the type 1 diabetes statement, assuming that is what she meant. She never replied on that, so I am guessing she may have been referring to that.
As far as some other people posting on this thread, whose posts I don't read, if they are putting their 2 cents in regarding nutrition and diet, if you take there advice, your going doen a broken path. They are beyond clueless about this subject. I know this because I have seen their comments on this site. They are both sick, and seeing pics of her, she is obviously overweight and on a diet that can't sustain health. In fact it is a diet of death.
The proof is always in the pudding. People who eat and live like I do, and I know plenty of them, are not sick, not on meds, are active. We run and exercise, sleep well, can do just about anything we did in our mid thirties, and have blood test numbers that show us to be at the same numbers of most people in their thirties. Many of us are in our fifties and older. One of them is a man who is soon to be 87 and is healthier then most people in their late forties onward. Just a coincidence, right?
Now look at some of the posters here in their fifties or older. They are the walking dead, yet have the audacity to pontificate about how food is not this or that, or can't do this or that.
Yes, lately I have been more blunt then usual, because you guys are Christians and are missing the mark. If you practice your spiritual life and if your understanding about the spiritual is at the same dim level as what the bible says about lifestyle and diet, some of you are in serious trouble.
This is the one group that I talk to (and I have spoken publicly to many different groups over the years) who are the ones who should get it, yet your some of the dullest recipient's to this message I have witnessed. Many atheists and tree hugger's have a keener insight to this then most of you. Your lost in this area, and when I tell you the scientific truth, when I tell you the results of this, you are either ignoring me, or think I am lying, or don't believe your eyes.
It's insane.
And then you want to say I am being to blunt or insulting.
