Bible Answer: Dear Kathi_41, Greetings in Jesus' name! "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments." Exodus 20:2-6 NASB. The above verses tell us that God is a jealous God. He does not want our faith compromised or adulterated. When we dabble in things that clearly seek after our faith, we grieve our Lord. Some may say that you don't have to go 'that far' into these things, but they are a trap and a snare to divert your attention. God is all the healing you need, the rest is common sense and a healthy attitude in the life He gives. Worshipping body and health invades God's sovereignty, if you begin to seek longer life or the glorification of the human form. I do not suggest that you 'eat, drink, and be merry' (obese and slothful)! Of course we should be responsible not to abuse this 'earthly tent.' But watch out for the idol worship of health and long life! In Christ Jesus, charis |
