Are all creatures that move for food after Noah's Flood

(1/5) > >>

cheekie3:
I am looking for a Scriptural answer for what we can eat and live healthily.

I thought that Genesis 9:3 confirms that we can eat everything that lives and moves so long as the blood is not in them when we eat them.

I take this to mean that meat should be well cooked.

Genesis 9:3 (Today's New International Version)

3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

Am I missing something and misunderstanding this Scripture.

Thanks, Regards, cheekie3.

Cheekie,
I will just give you my opinion.
After years of studying nutrition and going from vegan to vegetarian, back to what I think is a healthy balance, my take on it is this...
All things are "legal" to eat but not all things are good for us to eat.

I won't turn down pork at a dinner party for any "legal" reason but I do not choose to buy it and cook it because it has been proven (from my research) to not be good for me. I think God put pigs on His list of not eating because quite frankly they are so smart. I wouldn't eat a dog or cat and pigs are much smarter than they are.
Same with dolphins and whales.
I have a list in a book that basically showed all the meats in Leviticus that were listed as okay were healthy but the ones God told them not to eat were actually not good for us from the tests that they ran.
So, I LOVE shrimp for example. But I only eat it a couple times a year because I don't think it is a good choice.

I think man's "improvements" to the way livestock are raised, fed, processed are abusive to the animals and made the meat unheathy so we try to buy organic or free range or at least meat without steriods and antibiotics in it.

Like I said, this is my opinion and it took me years to come to this.

Listen to or watch Dr. Steger's presentation from the conference if you have not done so yet.  It might prove to be an eyeopener for you.

cheekie3:
Arion - Thanks for this.

I have seen the Dr Steger video but there are no Scriptures mentioned.

How do we reconcile what Dr Steger says with the Scriptures at 1 Timothy 4:1 - 5?

1 Timothy 4 (Today's New International Version)

1 Timothy 4
 1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. 4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

Regards, cheekie3.

Hi cheekie3,

Take a look at these Scriptures, see if they answer how we should act or behave about any, and every, even little things.

2Co 5:14-21 (GNB)
14  We are ruled by the love of Christ, now that we recognize that one man died for everyone, which means that they all share in his death.
15  He died for all, so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but only for him who died and was raised to life for their sake.

16  No longer, then, do we judge anyone by human standards. Even if at one time we judged Christ according to human standards, we no longer do so.
17  Anyone who is joined to Christ is a new being; the old is gone, the new has come.

18  All this is done by God, who through Christ changed us from enemies into his friends and gave us the task of making others his friends also.
19  Our message is that God was making all human beings his friends through Christ. God did not keep an account of their sins, and he has given us the message which tells how he makes them his friends.
20  Here we are, then, speaking for Christ, as though God himself were making his appeal through us. We plead on Christ's behalf: let God change you from enemies into his friends!
21  Christ was without sin, but for our sake God made him share our sin in order that in union with him we might share the righteousness of God.
