The term a corn of wheat is known in the US by my generation, and I suppose, all who read the KJV but it is not necessary to label it so when we say wheat. Normally we would say a kernal of wheat or a grain of wheat. today.

Oh ok, I'm not a native English speaker so it was very confusing when I read it first 😅😅

The carob pods are quite diverse in usage. The principle use is powdered as a very good substitute of chocolate

ps, your English is very good. Keep using it or you will lose it as I have with French and Hebrew. No I struggle with Castillano, but I do get by..

1 Timothy 4:1-4 (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;

I agree, but the key is ”which God created”. Most food items today have additives in them that were created in a lab by men. Almost all the meat in stores have additives. Almost all the fruits and veggies have additives.

Beef should be 100% grass fed.
Poultry should be organic pasture raised.
Veggies and herbs should be organic, non-gmo.
Fish should be wild caught.

Trust me, it’s really hard to eat correctly because of price and availability.

Why food is now so degraded?

is because ppl now dont live in the fertile crescent, like they did in the Bible, where most everything they had to eat was grown.

God said he was giving the land of Canaan to the Israelites and said it was a land overflowing with milk and honey. When they first spied out the land, the Israelites picked gigantic grapes as proof that the land was super fertile.

Yes and we polluted so much the air, the water and the ground that even 100% organic grown stuff has some levels of chemicals that were never supposed to be there ... They even found polluants from Brazil in Alaska, God have mercy 🙏

No, I will trust God. I can any kind meat. God said so.

1 Timothy 4:4-5 (NKJV)
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.

I'm in agreement brother, but notice it says that every creature of God...man has taken these creatures and pumped them full of steriods, gmos, and antibiotics to make more money. For the love of money is the root of all evil. And because such, these foods are the main cause of the chronic diseases in countries where the food is manipulated.

But you don't even know which meats to eat. You're only guessing.

I do my best to buy the following:
100% Grass fed beef, locally sourced if possible, milk products
Organic pasture raised poultry, eggs
Organic fruits and veggies and nuts
Very limited sugar
No processed meats or baked goods

I try not to eat anything that has been processed, messed with, or added to...as a cancer survivor, I have done tons of research on the best diet for me including non-inflammatory foods. I've never felt better and my blood work is on point. My advice is to research it for yourself. The cattle and poultry industries are two of the largest corrupted industries.
