I'm kind of weary of naturopathic doctors.
And that would be wise. Certain diets and ways of life (green) have become a religious experience for many of the followers. A person will not live one day longer than God ordained them to from the beginning of time. Most of these diets and lifestyle changes can be had by using common sense approaches. Don't abuse your body with all meat, or all veggies, or all processed foods, a little of everything in moderation. Whether you abuse or take care of your body won't delay the days of your life on this earth as ordained by God. But your quality of life can be made better if you take care of your body.
It's true a crack head that abuses their body may live to be 25 years old before their body breaks down and if they had ate healthy and not abused their body could live to see 80. But that was not the path that God gave them, some are created for honor and some for dishonor. In their 25 years of life they did learn the lesson God created them to learn and their lives touched others who also learned their own lessons.
As far as the people who push a special diet or food, etc. Follow the money, most would not hawk their wares or publish their beliefs if they did not make money. Same with religious characters, if they didn't make money they would try something else. I never saw a diet peddled that someone was not making money off it. Either, by books or selling the foods or supplements. And why do people who may have a new dietary approach such as the one Samson posted the other day, have to lie and claim another source provided their information? (not you Samson, the original author) People follow some of these charlatan's the same as they do a religious leader, with the same fervor and the truth be damned.
Ray gives away the word of God. He could lay out his teaching of the scriptures and make allot of money. Ray would not be a holding conferences in a small hotel room paid with by his own funds, he could fill up an arena somewhere and people would give a ton of money when he asked for it. But he does not make a dime, he uses any money donated to pay for search terms to come up on the internet and to pay for the website. The money is used to provide good news and freedom to those who are led to respond to the truth. If Ray charged for this information I would run the other way, but many others would pay and worship Ray. That is just the way the carnal mind works.
I'm not saying that following a certain diet or way to live is wrong, if God leads you to do this then you will do it. But turning it into a personal idol is adding chains to your life and leaves less room for dieing to self and less room for Christ to live in you.
We all have our own personal idols, if we can recognize them then we can pray for deliverance from them.
I like seeing diets that people have tried, I could use a good diet, and sometimes I can pick out things that I can incorporate in my life. But posting a diet or lifestyle and preaching a diet or lifestyle is two different things.
This is not directed to anyone on the forum, it is just a general observation that I see everywhere in our lives, from TV, Papers, Books etc. and my opinion. (it might be worth a penny
) Maybe I can write a book and make lots of money
Someday none of this will matter when He is all in all.
