Meal prepping for the week

[good samaritan]

Gwynn Oakes has a book called, “The Front Row”. In that book she had an evangelist come into their home who was very health conscious. He would join her before every meal to see how she prepared the meal. He would only eat certain foods, that where cooked a certain way, and didn’t want her to use certain cookware. She came in to the sanctuary one morning to find him standing on his head. He explained, . that if you stand on your head so long each day it will help you think more clearly.

Luke 10:8
And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

Jesus disciples weren’t afforded the luxury of being picky.

Reminds me of a story one of my teachers told in 8th grade. He visited Vietnam, and went to a village out in the boonies. They served them a meal, and it was boiled shrimp that were never deveined. He told about cutting into it, and green stuff oozed out. However, it would have been an offense to the villagers - who have so little - to decline the food that was served.

That story stuck me, to the point that I never felt inclined to eat shrimp afterwards.

What's that yellow stuff that oozes out of crawdads?

No matter what the subject, someone knows a story about an idiot.

Well, if Peter went into a house and they were serving gumbo prior Acts 10:14, he would of turned it away. So, no, they didn't eat everything, to make their hosts happy.

Jesus disciples observed OT diet restrictions.

Agreed, but this verse has relevance in the conversation. IMO. Vegetables, meats, fruits are all foods, and all have health benefits. Moderation is key. Jesus was preparing his disciples for a time after Acts 10. I have a lady at our church now who is borderline calling it a sin to eat meat. I am dealing with the situation and trying to get her to understand that from a health standpoint some foods maybe better, but not to get that confused with spirituality. Of course gluttony is a sin but a cheeseburger is not. I know that is not what is the discussion here, but it is common for people to make their preferences the gospel truth.

The Levitical priesthood were sinners for eating the animals they offered on the altar? Also the tithe of animals were also given back to the offerors, the priests kept certain parts, the remaining was given to God. Was Israel partaking in sin when they ate the Passover lamb? When Jesus fed the 5,000 was Jesus sinning when he provided animal products to the people? When the Psalmist said sweet is the honey of the honeycomb, and the honey is compared to God's word. Honey is a byproduct of an animal. Like milk , butter, yogurt, kefir, and cheese all by products of animals.

She wants to keep bringing up the garden of eden. She wants to say in Gods perfect plan we where herbivore. (In my opinion if death didn’t come to be until after the fall, was eating even necessary at all?). She is also the lady from a trinity background. I have been very patient with her because it seems like we are slowly getting through to her and she keeps coming back for more.
