We were agreed on this.

What can I learn from God about the tragedy that Ray is going through now I wonder?
I would be grateful if someone could direct me to Scripture about keeping God’s laws of health and nutrition.
Is Dr Steger inferring that Ray did not follow some of these laws, hence he is being 'smacked down' by God?
Vangie:
A loved one that I shared Ray's story with seemed to zero in on that same inference. I haven't yet responded--I'm not sure either if there is scripture that backs up Dr. Steger's statement. Hopefully it was just an unwise choice of words by a well meaning person, as the love our God has towards His creation, especially His servants like Ray, is not even relative to our past physical sins right? I look forward to other responses here. I do feel that God led Ray to Dr. Steger, thus I respect whatever purpose He means for him to serve in Ray's life (here), but Dr. Steger is not our teacher, and I don't think we should give more weight to his comment than is warranted. Just my 2 cents and thank you for listening.
Love in Christ,

Having studied Biblical nutrition for over 10 years, may I attempt to share a little of what I've learned?
I think, first, that is was a well-meaning bad choice of words by the doctor.
Second, in the beginning, I also felt that God gave us "laws" about food. But 10 years later, I wouldn't say that anymore. We are no longer under food laws and nothing is unclean.
We went from total "veganism" to just vegetarianism back to what we think is a better, more balanced way.
We do not eat a perfect diet but we have found that if we eat closest to food's natural state, we feel better and stay healthier. We buy organic meat as much as we can, we buy raw dairy as much as we can. My studies say that the stuff being injected into our food supply is very bad for us. I try to cook from scratch and eat as little pre-made, frozen, boxed stuff as possible.
I don't microwave our food. We eat whole grains but could do without grains altogether and be better off. The food pyramid was bought and paid for so we ignore it.
Vegetarians lack certain vitamins so I think meat is needed (for about 2/3 of the population) in much smaller quantities than most eat and raised in free range, non-injected (steroids and growth hormones)states. We have also found that the foods in Leviticus that were deemed "unclean" are actually not healthy. So while I do not think it is a sin to eat pork or shrimp, I eat it RARELY because it isn't good for my body.
We think probiotics and enzymes are great for us and keep us healthy and we also clean out our colons every year. :o :-[
We treat illnesses naturally and don't listen to what the medical industry deems good for us because they are also bought and paid for by pharmaceutical companies. (We don't take drugs either.)
My children never had formula or jarred baby food, are unvaccinated and don't catch anything from anyone because their immune systems were allowed to grow naturally. Neither have ever been to a doctor with an illness and the worst thing they've had is maybe 1-2 colds each year that last about a day or two at most. One is 10 and the other is 7.
What a blessing to have healthy kids! :)
God pulled us out of other worldly systems (like the medical field) long before He pulled us out of the church. We question EVERY worldly system run by man. We have been blessed by what we have learned.
I believe it because by living it and raising my kids in it, we see the results!
I am so excited that Ray is going natural for his cancer. I know lots of people cured of cancer, diabetes, etc. etc. by going natural.
God is good!!!
I have not found any one person or book that I think has all the right answers. But I have read literally thousands of pages and hundreds of nutrition writers and formed my own beliefs accordingly. I strongly advocate everyone studying and learning and reading and taking responsibility for their own health. That is what Ray did! YEA!!!!

Great post Linny,
I got a question. How expensive is it to try buy everything or most of your food organic? how bad is it to microwave food? What microwaving organic foods? (I love my microwave) :)

That's exactly what i've put at the bottom of my posts. I'm thinking about getting some bumper stickers that say that. Maybe I should shave my head and get it tatooed there.
Nice post again Linny.
In Jesus,
Anthony

Hi! All
It is not God but Dr Steger who is smacking Ray down on his own teaching. ALL IS OF GOD. So Ray should keep well away from Dr Steger and place himself in the lap of his God. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding. (Pro.3:5) That is the best advice Dr Steger could have given. God is in control and His Will will be done. We have to unite in prayer on his behalf and of all our fellow member sufferers who are in need of prayer. God is no respecter of persons so we have to pray, in the sincere hope. that these cures being prayed for are in His predestined Will that's what miracles are, not a change in God's predestined plan.
God never changes, what is has already been. "That which has been is that which will be, And that which has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun." (Eccl.1:9). From man's perspective it is all present and future but from Gods perspective it is already done and it's history, His predestined plan. There is nothing new under the sun.
May God bless and heal you Ray and all our brothers and sisters who are in need of healing.
Love in Christ Jesus.
