Bible Question: If we are to present God with an undefiled body, but eat meat knowingly filled (according to researchers) with growth hormones.. are we to say that we are defiling our bodies knowingly by eating meat? |
Bible Answer: Jesus said that what goes into a man does not defile him, but what come out of the heart. When Paul talked about not eating meat served to idols, it wasn't because it might defile the body, but might cause someone else's conscience to be defiled. While I think we should take care of the bodies God has given us, I don't think eating meat with growth hormones defile the body. |
