1 | What is origin of grace before meal? | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 220078 | ||
We bless food, also, because of the following: "But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude; for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer." (1 Timothy 4:1-5 NASB) |

Doc, Thank you for the further info, but isn't blessing food a somewhat superstitious thing to do? Thank God for His goodness, yes; request blessings on those at table with you, yes; bless the food? for what reason? Why does that which God considers to be food and good for nourishment need to be blessed? I can see in the feeding of the multitudes that Messiah blessed the food, but I'd always seen that as possibly being for a miraculous increase over what would have been normally possible with what was available. That wouldn't be necessary at an ordinary dinner table... Dhaniei |

Jesus also blessed the food in Luke 24:30 between Himself and two disciples--an ordinary dinner. Blessing the food is thanking Him for fulfilling the prayer of Luke 11:3 and the promise of Luke 12:31. It is certainly Biblical, not superstitious. It becomes tradition through the thoughtlessness of man, much like the supper was abused in 1 Corinthians 11:30. | ||||||
