Unfortunately, what is going on here, as I have frequently seen on this site, and as is human nature, people do not like top be informed that something they may be doing is destructive in some way.

They want to stay in there comfort zones and hold onto to their pleasurable comfy beliefs for dear life.

They do not want to look below the surface at the deep facts and resent someone else telling them they have believed a lie, have been deceived, or are wrong.

Food and pleasure is especially a sensitive area. No one likes to be told they addicted, or that they have low self control with certain things, or that they are responsible for their health, rather then their doctor.

If people actually believed that coffee were not good, they would be faced with a decision most of them could not do.

God forbid anyone in this its all good society tell someone else that what they are doing may have negative consequences.

We should only be unconditionally supportive, just like the world tells us we should be. You know, your valuable and same gender sex is okay, so do not let anyone tell you different. Just tell them they are haters and don't understand you.
Again, it's your insults. We ought to know better, we are ignorant. You, you are the smarts. The brains.
Rubbish.

What did the Israelites eat on the first Passover?

But Dreamer would've have answered, "Lord, meat is unhealthy. Don't you know that we have an exodus ahead of us. No meat."

No idea what poison ivory is, but it doesn't sound appealing. And stop acting so butt hurt because people don't like you telling them what to eat and how to live their lives. You wanna eat algae, fine. Just don't expect people to give up stuff that THEY like, in order to make YOU happy.


Go eat poison ivory then....

That's the problem in a nutshell. According to YOUR lifestyle plan. Not everyone eats what you eat, nor do they want to. And you can't force them to. Give advice and let US choose whether to take it or not, instead of condemning us for eating chocolate or pizza, or drinking coffee and soda. And stop calling us ignorant of what the scriptures say regarding food. It just makes you sound very condescending, judgemental and arrogant. We ALL know that you're a nutritionist and are knowledgeable on the subject, BUT you need to stop acting so pushy about how and what other people should eat and drink, and let THEM make those decisions for themselves. I appreciate all the advice you've given me lately, but you're nuts if you think I'm gonna start eating funky stuff like blue-green algae, or wheatgrass or whatever.. I may take it as a pill, but I refuse to eat it as a food. LOL
Blue, your close but miss it by a mile. I called it my plan to personalize it.
Would you feel better if I said it is following Gods principals?
Your stuck in your narrow thoughts about this.


I said a trillion times its your choices. All I say is if you have not done it, or really understand it, then you must give me scientific evidence why I am wrong.
You dont and never did.

I do not have a issue at all with you all eating what you want.

My issue is when you make these untrue false claims that this food is good for the body, or this food does not harm it, etc.

Anyone who claims goffee is healthy is wrong and I do not understand how intelligent Christian people can be so ignorant about some of this.

I even directly answer some questions and people here ignore them.

There is a lot of pride and ignorance being displayed by certain people here.

Your just trying to make an argument now.

If God has changed us fundamentally then the diet in Genesis 1:29 would not work. It does.
There is a direct and conclusive reason why He has not.

Now please answer me. Or ignore me without a direct reply.
Tell me how you think we have changed?
I never said we had. I asked how you knew we had not, and you wished
to shift the burden of proof, otherwise known as a logical fallacy.

Do you think we have evolved?
Irrelevant. I neither suggested nor hinted at any such thing. I asked
you a simple question you have so far not been able to answer.

Does the bible even hint anywhere in any way of us changing in fundamental ways that His diet for us would no longer apply?
Irrelevant, again. Meat was given as food, you know.

You are so insulting, arrogant and judgemental. You are not the know all of health, like you think you are. None of us are. Yet you constantly and consistently shove in our faces, that we are such bad people because we eat things that you don't eat. Then you heap insults on top of it all. I suggest you bake some humble pie and eat a huge slice of it. And ask God to help you with that arrogance of yours. Cuz you definitely need it.


You eat only moderately good foods then expect moderate health.

You weren't there. Noah was. I sure would have felt encouraged to kill and eat.
I did not have to be there to know what I am saying is correct.
Do you have to be everywhere to know something happened?
I personally would not kill an animal to eat..

I was not asking you for your approval or acceptance. I am not looking to be popular either. People do not like to hear certain things.
What I am saying is true.

Just ignore me of you can not listen to it.

YOUR the one who is arguing. I'm pointing out that you're being judgemental in all this. I don't know why, but you always act this way when people disagree with you on what foods they should be eating.

It's not that they don't like hearing how to eat better. What they don't like is YOU constantly harping on them, how they should live, and what they should or shouldn't eat or drink. You're a nutritionist, NOT a doctor. Not everyone wants the diet that YOU have.

I am not being judgemental about peoples choices. I am merely stating coffee is not good for people and why they do not like me saying it.
I can not twist the truth to fut peoples sensitivities and insecurities. Nor have I been arrogant about peoples choices, just insistent that coffee is unhealthy.

Dreamer, you are in your own world. It is flesh, carnal. You know, you are still on the milk of the word. You refuse the meat of the word. This has caused your spirit to weaken and become proud. Puffed up.

And they get that. But one cup every so often is not harmful. And telling or asking or expecting people to give it up on YOUR say so, isn't gonna work too well.

I can talk about a million other things I like talking about, just generally, when people are making a untrue statement about food, I feel I have a duty among Christians to correct them.
You may disagree with this outlook, that's fine, but that's it in a nutshell.
It is my hope people here will alter their views on food closer to what the bible says about them.

Your just not being truthful now. I do not tell people how t eat.
One cup is not killing anyone. But you know full well we are talking about more then one cup for most people.
At least be factual when you "talk" to me.
