Bible Question (short): LAND FLOWING WITH MILK AND HONEY |
Question (full): 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. |
