The controversial, varied opinions about “diet” disagree. There is a place to go that is right and good for you. In the end you must decide. "I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation." Psalm 119:99. Look closely, the Bible has food "understanding."
When Jesus
came to earth to redeem us, Biblical instruction about food changed (it was not
disagreement with earlier truth, but progression).
We can be
confident that the Bible gives us the final wisdom about our
diet…throughout the pages of Scripture. God’s love for us, His literal and
figurative truth to mankind includes what is good for us: figuratively this
food pictures God’s blessings and the way to live. The literal food shows God’s
nutrition examples for us to eat.
This care for
our wellbeing, this wisdom in the Bible does not include chemical additives in
our nutrition, bioengineered, fake food, bleached and degermed flour, highly
processed seed oils and on and on.
Food for Adam
and Eve and early mankind was "every herb bearing seed" and
"every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed."
Later, after the global flood, Noah’s instruction changed, "Every moving
thing that lives shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you
all things." Genesis 9:3. When God delivered Israel from Egypt, He
gave the laws of clean and unclean food.
After Jesus came, The Book of Romans explains: "...All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eats with offence. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak." Romans 14:20,21. We are responsible for each other, for caring about their understanding. "For meat (food) destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eats with offence."
"It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak. Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth." Rom 14:20-22.
We can eat by faith. Faith is believing God and acting on it. It will always benefit you.
