Bible Note: Well, when you go to your doctor for your yearly physical and he tells you start eating decent ... ;) My grandfather went in and told him that after every breakfast he'd have these gas pains. So,the doctor asked what he had for breakfast. "Eggs, hash browns and pork sausage" Well, do away with the prok sausage" And presto the gas pains went away! Or, you watch the news and they tell you that too many Americans are overweight, they tell you about the rise of diabetes, they tell you about high cholestoral, how unheathy junk food is, etc., etc. doesn't all start to make sense that the manufacturer would tell you what not to eat? And after having worked a long hard grind at work isn't it nice to have a day off? And since there isn't a clear word that either the dietary laws or the Sabbath has been done away with (we know it isn't in Col. 2:16-17 at least) doesn't that mean that they are still in effect? The best I can do right now is from the negative angle. |
