1 | LAND FLOWING WITH MILK AND HONEY | Gen 18:8 | godlovingforever | 155476 | ||
In numerous places in the Bible, it speaks of God providing a land flowing with milk and honey. Why have we as Christians fallen into believing that this meant that to drink milk from animal species meant solely for the young of that species and to eat honey meant to fuel bees for our purposes. Surely Genesis 1:29 which states clearly that God has provided us with every herb bearing seed that grows on the face of the earth and every tree which yields seed for our food. Why have be fallen into this beastly perversion of using milk from animals that is genetically meant for only the young of that species for our consumption. And why have he fallen into eating honey when it was meant for use by the bees solely? Human breast milk is meant for infants prior to their development of teeth to provide their immune systems with all that they need for survival and to nourish them when they are unable to do so themselves. I do know we are all subject to habitual actions and earthly lusts and earthly behaviors and temptations. But we are also a peculiar people that God has called out of this world for His own. We are NOT to pattern our lives after this world. Through revelation the Lord has been speaking to me about MILK. Why it is we have fallen into this and WHY we should get out of consuming it. Not only it is not meant for the human body, but it is essentially a form of bestiality. A perversion. Can any man or woman who is of God in here say that it is a normal thing to crawl under an animal and suckle its breast when its young are needing this for their growth and development? I believe that when the Lord mentions a "land flowing with milk and honey" HE was referring to a land of abundance. Any comments. | ||||||

I believe our Lord doesn’t have a problem with us consuming milk from animals. If He did, He sure failed to let Abraham know while He had some with him. I’m sure the milk mentioned wasn’t from Sarah. Genesis 18 1And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; 2And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, 3And said, My LORD, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: 4Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: 5And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said. 6And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. 7And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it. 8And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.

The "Lord" in this case was not a normal human man --so the "Lord" in this case DID NOT EAT anything. THEY is referring to those in the flesh who were there to eat. Where does it say that the LORD ate? It says "THEY ATE". Who is "they". It is not specific enough to actually say that the LORD eat. We are talking here about an angel of the Lord appearing--which could have been Gabriel. It was obvious in the wording that Abraham was suprised, to say the least, by the presence of this "angel of the Lord". We cannot assume anything, especially since it clearly says at the beginning of the Bible in Genesis 1:29 what human beings are to eat. | ||||||

So you’re saying the angels or Gabriel who were delivering God’s message were in a way disobedient to God for eating something not approved? You’re right about let’s not assume anything. So why do you automatically assume that it was Gabriel and not the Lord who ate? And why do you assume that milk is forbidden when we clearly see it being consumed in Scripture? You’re also overlooking Genesis 9 when considering what god has given us to eat. Genesis 9: 1And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 2And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. 3Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. You’re overlooking Christ and what He said: Matthew 15: 11Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. You’re overlooking further; Acts 10: 9About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 11He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air. 13Then a voice told him, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat." 14"Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean." 15The voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean." 16This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven. You mean to tell me, that after all of these thousands of years, God has not wanted us consuming milk but has now just recently made it clear to you that we shouldn’t? We even see cases in Scripture in which animal milk was consumed and no mention of it being forbidden and you still think we should abstain? Sorry, I just don’t see it. Not many will I suppose? Not unless you can show support using God’s word. I’m sorry, but I’ll take His word over anyone’s, any day. By the way, I agree that the references to the land flowing with milk and honey is speaking to abundance. Who has taken that and interpreted it to mean we should drink milk from animals? WOS |

No I did not say that they were dis-obedient. The word does not specifically say that the angel of the Lord or Gabriel actually ate. It does not say that. They ate does not say that they ALL ate and drank butter and milk You have to realize that Abraham was in the desert and what he ate he had to carry being nomadic in lifestyle. I imagine that they drank milk because they were starving in the desert. Not because it was necessarily ordained by God. I do not believe that milk being consumed is anywhere else in scriptures, unless you know of some other place that specifically says "Man should drink the milk of animals of different species than themselves." Even Genesis 9 does not say to drink the milk. It says to eat the meat. In terms of Matthew 15: does not mean to throw away all that he has told us to do. It means that to defile by spoken word is worst--but that does not mean that we as Christians should throw away all caution to wisdom in terms of what we eat either. I suggest that you read the book: Milk The Deadly Poison to open your eyes to how unclean milk is these days--full of (honestly)pus, chemicals, growth hormones, etc. We HAVE to remember that we are the temple of God--our bodies should be considered sacred. That means with knowledge we should walk in wisdom. Yes we should abstain just based on this.Based on love. The GREATEST COMMANDMENT is love. If we ignore this and continue to treat animals in the manner we have been then we are guilty of supporting the breaking of the law of love--the least of HIS creatures. I imagine that not many would support this just because their flesh loves ice cream, milk, etc. Not because they don't see the wisdom of this. Many have taken that the land of milk and honey to mean we should drink milk...maybe more than you know. Thanks for adding thoughts into this. Always good to study the word of God. He calls us into a higher accountability...once we know the truth and have revelation about it--He expects us to walk into the newness of life--health. | ||||||

Oh… I see. Pardon me for my assumption. When you claimed to have a revelation, I assumed it was from God and not Robert Cohen. Look, this is just my own opinion; people will believe most anything written when they read it. Why do we find it so easy to believe every cockamamie thing written and then fail to honestly compare it with God’s word? Now I said honestly compare. Robert Cohen may be an intellectual, but he seems to have some sort of vendetta against the dairy lovers out there. I honestly think he’s about a pint shy of a full gallon. I’m sure he’ll find some way to blame the apocalypse on milk as well. Here are the references to milk that I found in Scripture, with exception to those that reference milk and honey. You look into them and see for yourself. Compare them to your revelation. Genesis 18:8 Genesis 49:12 Exodus 23:19 Exodus 34:26 Deuteronomy 14:21 Deuteronomy 32:14 Judges 4:19 Judges 5:25 Job 10:10 Job 21:24 Proverbs 27:27 Proverbs 30:33 Song of Solomon 4:11 Song of Solomon 5:1 Song of Solomon 5:12 Isaiah 7:22 Isaiah 28:9 Isaiah 55:1 Isaiah 60:16 Isaiah 66:11 Lamentations 4:7 Ezekiel 25:4 Joel 3:18 1 Corinthians 3:2 1 Corinthians 9:7 Here’s the thing, you’ll come up with your own opinion about this matter and I hope it is in line with God’s will. I’ll also state this, if you continue with your ideas about milk, that is fine too and if we ever should meet and have dinner, I’ll abstain from milk to keep from offending you. But otherwise, I’ll continue to drink it and think nothing more about it. WOS |
