Be Vegetarian
« on: December 22, 2011, 06:07:56 PM »


Our church was a leader in the principle of a vegetable based diet. But not any more!

I remember years ago when the average person thought of Adventists it was in terms of the church whose members were vegetarians. I haven't done a study but I think it can safely be said that the overwhelming majority of church members world-wide are not vegetarians. Among some fish and chicken are not 'meat'.  Sometimes fish be found a fellowship dinners to say nothing of SDA hospitals at least in the state where I live.

It is encouraging to see the clips from Toronto.

I know Adventists who are very familiar with the Spirit of Prophecy quote that says the time will come when we will have to give up all animal products because of the widespread disease in animals. However they continue eating these things saying the time has not come.

Those who insist that the "time has not come" will never recognize the time when it does come (assuming it hasn't come).  With the increase in diseases in "food" animals, it is clear that the counsel from Ellen White was spot on--as it always is.  There was never a better time to go vegan.

By the way, in some oriental countries dog is a delicacy.    :-o

Yes, how sad the chosen blindness especially among SDA's to excuse themselves. If it's not more clear today that the time has long since come when meat is unclean. Massive hormones, CJD (madcow), cancerous animals ok'd for food by the FDA, morbidly sick animals included, and who knows what else. Eating meat is like playing Russian Roulette with three already in the chamber.

Raven, I saw a film where in some Asian countries, there are shops where they serve live snakes blood, squeezed from the snake right in front of you not to mention eating the brains of  live monkeys. And, there are a lot more similar filthy, inhuman practices regularly going on.

Yes, there is a new administration proposal that includes guidelines for school lunches that would provide more nutritious foods such as fruits and vegetables. Congress is fighting to keep pizza and french fries included as being "vegetables." Of course many people don't understand that pizza and deep fried potatoes in oil make very poor choices for a healthy diet for anyone, much less children. I wonder which lobbyists are pressuirng congress on this?

                         Jesus Ate Fish…
                              and


Food for thought:
The ministry of our Lord from earth all the way to the second coming was taught the Israelites using the sanctuary.
Now if you look at the sanctuary the part of it that was the shadow of Jesus's earthly ministry was the outer court. And that is where meat was found. It is interesting that this is the only part in the sanctuary where meat was found.
The remaining two parts, of the Tabernacle, the Holy and the Most Holy Place are without meat.

And considering that: Psalm 77:13   Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
And remembering that: Revelation 14:4   These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

 The question to ask is where is the Lamb now? And is there meat or room for meat, or fish, where He is right now? In the anti typical day of atonement, the day of fasting, where are we also? Are we where the Lamb is?
 This is just one more reason to understand the sanctuary service. Jesus is not now in the outer court (earth). Have we followed Him by faith and choice where we have ample alternatives or are we still in the outer court eating meat ?  We are told through Inspiration that those who do not follow Christ into the most Holy Place will be left behind.

Grateful for Psalms 32 and Titus 2:10 While it is true that God gives the message from Scripture and SOP. The taste I give to others about the message sells it or kills it, I learn to walk it well & cook it well & eat it myself, before I preach it.  Then the SDA message appeals by His righteousness.
