Does God expect us to take care of our body?

Does God expect us to take care of our body?

That's about like saying, “Does God expect me to take care of my garden? Why doesn't He kill those weeds and insects that have taken over?

In taking care of your garden, can you listen to the “experts” that make millions $$$$$ in selling you poisons? If you do, you will ruin the nutrition of you food, as well as ruin your ground.

In going to the Dr, you have to use your common sense. I've told plenty of Drs, that I didn't want the medicine that they prescribed. They usually insisted and gave me the prescription. Which I sometimes tore up, and find out later that they had taken it off the market, because it caused strokes, or cancer or horrible side effects.

I have found that people that love TRUTH, want Truth in every department of their lives.

Re: Does God expect us to take care of our body?

YES! I am convinced that I have an appointment with death some day....I truly believe that I cannot die a day sooner than God intends for me to die, except for suicide) however I believe the QUALITY of life is entirely up to me. In other words if God plans on me living to be 90 and I abuse my body and don't take care of it....I will live to be 90 but be miserable instead of healthy. (I realize there are genetic issues/illnesses etc....but I do believe we have the majority rule/choice over our health)

Yes, I think He does, to the best of our knowledge.

Re: Does God expect us to take care of our body?

Yes.............


1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

1Co 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

DEFILE

phtheirō
fthi'-ro
Probably strengthened from φθίω phthiō (to pine or waste): properly to shrivel or wither, that is, to spoil (by any process) or (genitive) to ruin (especially figuratively by moral influences, to deprave): - corrupt (self), defile, destroy.

There must be something wrong with your computer or your eyes.
