I know this is a bit controversial so be nice to each other
and eat your chocolate Easter egg if you get mad at each other. Lol
I came across a comment about the following verses.
1 Timothy 4:1-5 NKJV
[1] Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart
from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,
[2] speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with
a hot iron, [3] forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from
foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those
who believe and know the truth. [4] For every creature of God
is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving;
[5] for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
It suggested the above verses show that in latter times, we will start to reject
the idea of all food being good and increasingly people will restrict their diet.
Increasingly people will call what God deemed to be good, to be bad and there
will be an increase in vegetarians, vegans, diary free, gluten free, carb free,
protein free and various fad diets as we enter the last days.
I just wondered what people thought about this. I know there are some
who have to go on restricted diets for various reasons. It might be due to
medical reasons or health reasons, or even allergies, or being over weight
and that is understandable.
There are two things the verses made me wonder about though.
1) Maybe denying the good natural things of God is an increasing sign of turning
away from God and turning to a man made materialistic world.
2) Maybe messing with GM foods, chemically created foods, foods with additives,
or foods with stuff taken out. Is also part of the above prophecy. I can't imagine that
at the time it was written, that by any stretch of the imagination, the biblical writers
would have had any inkling about the way our food is messed with in modern times.
I have a friend who is 87, she is as strong as an ox, still does her own gardening,
decorating. She is a Christian and for years she has refused to eat anything with
additives or anything with things taken out.
She only eats whole grain bread and cereals, she never has fruit juices and
insists the whole fruit is better. She mostly eats organic. She never has anything
with refined sugar etc.
But anyway the above verses got me curious as to what others thought.
Are our increasingly faddy diets and messing with food a sign of end times?
Maybe its inevitable that as we damage the planet, we also damage our food
chain and so will have no alternative but to eat what is man made towards the
end times?
