1 | Food before the Fall | Gen 1:29 | Lionstrong | 25583 | ||
Thanks Nolan, It is unknown whether "many kinds of plants and animals were lost forever in the flood." I think we should more carefully say, however, that we have fossil evidence of plants and animals we no longer see today. Whether these actually became extinct in the Flood instead of sometime afterward is speculation. You are right, though. The pre-Fall diet for man and animal was not just pre-Fall. It did not change until after the flood. Also the pre-Flood vegetarian diet is different from today's vegetarian diet, isn't it? The pre-Flood diet did not include under water vegetation (seaweed), nor seedless land vegetation like mushrooms. Do potatoes have seeds? I think that in the age to come we will be neither omnivorous nor vegetarians. Our resurrection bodies will have no stomachs. 1 Cor 6:13 Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both of them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body. Peace, Lionstrong, a.k.a. LooseCannon |

2 | Food before the Fall | Gen 1:29 | EdB | 25626 | ||
Lionstrong No Stomach?????? Where am I and you for that mater going to put all the food we eat at the marriage supper of the Lamb? I think Paul is using an analogy here saying food and stomachs (bodies) are temporal. I do not believe it means we will not have stomachs in heaven where we will apparently dine on fruit from the tree of life. Besides I hate to think I have wasted all this time and money fighting to get my stomach to the proper size to truly enjoy the banquet. :-) I’m not fat I just making room to show my appreciation for good food Jesus will provide!

Hi Ed, Thanks for your thoughts. I think the question is which passages are figurative, this one or the ones about the marriage supper. I choose the marriage supper as figurative. The church is literally not one female person whom the Lord marries. Literal marriage implies the sexual union of the couple, and in the age to come we will be like the angels, Jesus said, not given in marriage. So the whole concept of marriage between Christ and his "bride" and its associated trappings (the supper) is an analogy or a figure. Also the passage in 1 Cor. is not written in a figurative or analogical style. So I take the 1 Cor. passage as literal, and that in our new resurrection bodies God will do away with stomachs or the need for food. Personally, instead of food, I look forward to be able to run and not get tired, and walk and not become weary. :) Is 40:31 And I'd also say don't worry about missing the food. There'll be plenty of other things to enjoy... besides the Lord himself! Ps 16:11 You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever. Peace, Lionstrong, a.k.a. LooseCannon |

Yes but what about this thing in front of me. You mean I have wasted all this effort to expand it to proper size and now I won't get to use it? :-) EdB |
