Our Diet According To The Bible

God created us to eat certain things.

I have seen tons of posts online arguing about whether we should be carnivores or herbivores. Whether we should be vegan or paleo.

And this is good, because what we consume is actually able to heal us or kill us. So, it’s important to try to get it right.

As far as I’m concerned, I think our creator. God All Mighty, might have some insight into the argument.

First we need to look at our creation and the nature of the Earth at creation. This matters. And you can read all of this in the first few chapters of Genesis, in the Bible.

God created humans in His image, after his likeness. I think this refers to two things. First, He created us a spiritual being. (God is Spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and Truth)

When I say spirit. I do not mean a ghost or wispy thing.

I mean an eternal being, that lives forever.

We are also triune. Meaning that we have 3 parts. A body, a soul and a spirit.

Just like He is triune. Father, Son, Holy Spirit. He breathed his divine spark into our body. We are His.

Our body is designed to match the body He uses when He decides to take material form.

Our body is made similar to monkey’s and apes.

We did not evolve from them we were designed similar to them, but after God’s image.

When we look at monkey’s and apes we can see that they have certain teeth. We have teeth like them. Not like carnivores, or herbivores, or omnivores, but like frugivores. Eating fruits, nuts, and veggies.

That is how we were designed.

Now, at creation there was no death in the world. None. Everything ate plants.

Eating fruits, nuts, and veggies does not cause death. These things grow back, and you poop out seeds to procreate the plants. It’s a cycle of life, not death.

This is what Paradise was like and what it will be again.

Yes, in The Garden there was no death and everything ate plants. The dragon or dinosaur ate plants, and the lion ate plants. I realize that your science might reject this. But, the things we see today, are not the same as they were.

When mankind fell, death entered the world, along with fear and competition for survival.

This is when things started changing into Carnivore, Herbivore, Omnivore, etc. in order to survive.

Humans were kicked out of the Garden or Paradise and God told us to eat grains. This was needed for survival. We started growing crops. (The Agricultural Revolution?)

This is not a theological lesson of morality. It is just pointing out creation and how it applies to our current food situation.

So humans grew in number and things got bad on the Earth. The Bible is not clear on what exactly happened. There are theories from corrupted DNA to the sinfulness of man or both.

But, God decided to destroy the earth.

He saved Noah and his family through the destruction. Then, told Noah and His family that it was ok for them to eat meat.

Again, this was for survival. The conditions of the Earth after the Global Flood were so devastating that humans needed more than plants, especially during winters, which humans would encounter as they grew in number and spread out on the Earth.

Dairy in the scriptures is viewed as a treat. “Milk and Honey”. Not as a needed food option. And if you look at the world today, most countries worldwide do not drink milk after childhood. And no species on Earth is required to drink the milk of another species in order to survive. It’s not needed.

Only in rich countries do we drink milk or eat cheese on a regular basis. Dairy and the chemicals in our food are the reasons why we have obesity.

Ok, so what does this tell us? Well, it shows that the food pyramid is wrong. It was allegedly created by the Dairy Industry in order to sell dairy products.

Our main courses on our dinner plate should be fruits, veggies and nuts, followed by grains, then meat, with dairy on occasion. All of it organic. They are poisoning us with these chemicals.

So, the idea of eating meat 3 times a day is wrong. We don’t need that, and the factory farms raising meat is destroying the planet.

Even a reduction in meat consumption would be useful. Meatless Mondays. Would be a start.

And yes, you can get protein from plants.

So, that’s the truth of what the human diet should look like.

What sorts of damage and disease comes from eating the opposite of what God intended? What sorts of damage comes from the chemicals we consume in our food, drinks and hygiene products?
