Guest guest Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 Hello everyone, Suzanne wrote to me about coming back to post. I am hesitant to do so because I didn't mean to get off on certain subjects. However, at this time, I'm going to state exactly what I feel about eating. Either I'm wanted back or I'm not wanted back. Once I state it, then anyone who is interested can PERSONALLY write to me and I will explain. This is a part of what I wrote to a friend and made some corrections. >>Here is what is soooooo hard for me. Knowing what " food " stands for in the Scriptures. The higher meaning is that " clean meats " stand for " taking in clean knowledge of Yahweh. " The lower meaning is, of course, eating for your health. So we really are what we eat in more ways that one, eating clean meat and taking in clean knowledge of Yahweh. But a person does not lose their salvation for eating, say, pork chops. Even the messiah says that it's not what enters into your mouth or your stomach that defiles you, but it's what comes out of your leb (meaning mental heart; mind) that defiles a person. And just think, he said this and all the time he ate clean meats! Unquote. This is what I'm trying to say and it is my statement. No one has to agree with me, of course. It's just what I think. I guess that you could say that I think that what we put into our bodies, even in the lower meaning, is kind of sacred in a way, but the lower meaning cannot save this corruptible body, no matter how badly that we try to save it. We can, however, prolong our health with this lower meaning. So like I said, I have made my statement. I'll try to hold back from referring to the Scriptures, even though they are a living word. The only way that you can be 100 percent sure that they're alive is to study the closest wording to the original that we have. Anyway, may Yahweh bless everyone and may he cause his face to shine upon you and your family. Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
