"You, believer of GOD? and you :eat: that FILTH?... you don't even follow One Simple Direction of his. :stop: STOP EATING THIS GARBAGE!!" :MrT:
Sad, but there are people like this out there.
I for one would have loved to eat all Organic and the traditional "clean way" if I could. However, I know that this is not counted against me because the Lord knows there are AND will be necessities.
And correct me if I am wrong anyone, but wasn't that one of the means that Baba used to DISTINCT Israelites from all other nations at that time?
However aren't there passages in the Word that speaks on Clean and Unclean eating and how it no longer applies because Jesus came to break many chains? Are we no longer ONE with believers of all walks of life and therefore we should abolish (like Jesus did) all separation of HIS people? Does It not mean that the old way of "clean eating" is a CHOICE and NOT a REQUIREMENT now?

...
I could imagine Baba saying... "ugh, I love them, I do, I KNOW them, I do... Therefore we need to add the following to my WORD because they are some quarrelsome people! :|

Romans14:19-23
19�So then let us�pursue what makes for peace and for�mutual upbuilding.
20�Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God.�Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for anyone to make another stumble by what he eats.�21�It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother to stumble.3�22�The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment on himself for what he approves.�23�But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.
**************************
Romans14:1-4
As for�the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to QUARREL over opinions.2�One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables.�3�Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and�let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him.�4�WHO ARE YOU to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master�that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

:dancingp:
Romans14:13-18
13�Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another ANY LONGER, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.�14�I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus�that nothing is unclean in itself,�but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean.�15�For if your brother is grieved by what you eat,�you are no longer walking in love.�By what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died.�16�So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil.�17�For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but�of righteousness and�peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.�18�Whoever thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.

Mark 7:17-18
17�After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him�about this parable.�18��Are you so dull?��he asked.��Don�t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them?

Romans 10:4
4�Christ is the culmination of the law�so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
I am a Gentile Christian. The biblical dietary and ceremonial restrictions I believe apply to me are found in Acts 15.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
If people want to make health-based arguments for organic foods, vegetarianism, protein diets, kosher diet, etc. that's fine. But it's not a biblical mandate.
Believe it or not, though the Bible is clear, there are some people who want to fight against it and they call themselves believers. Surely God was right when he said (in my own words) "thou shall not add or take away from my scriptures"
As the saying goes "go get ready to play church" and that's exactly what many are doing.
