OK, I know the Bible always turns out to be right… but… even I forget what it says sometimes or don’t understand why it says something – sometimes for years before the full meaning of a bible passage, doctrine or command comes into focus.
Anyway, I just read an article in the main stream media (as we know most of which must be taken with a large pinch of salt, as next week they will probably be back-tracking or flip-flopping or both) that suggested the – or at least a – possible cause for Alzheimer’s disease.
The Bible: 6000 years of wisdom in 66 books
We all know as Christians there are passages in The Bible that forbid or encourage abstinence from eating of certain foods and for many years as a new Christian I just assumed these were just arbitrary – or at least some of the rules in The Bible can seem like that sometimes – like not mixing linens together – something which I now understand has a great symbolic meaning at the very least.
Some denominations study the Bible more than others
For a long time now I have heard people like The Seventh Day Adventists and other denominations and preachers, as well as of course The Bible itself, say that we should not eat ‘unclean’ animals like ‘bottom feeders’ and animals that forage on – well basically dirt and the excrement of other plants and creatures – not quite understanding why but happy to assume at some point – as with every other thing I read in the Bible – the reason behind it will be anything but arbitrary and full of meaning and significance. As a new Christian I never associated the word ‘unclean’ in The Bible with unhealthy – I assumed (stupid me) it was a spiritual thing only.
If The Bible says do or don’t do something – we should take it very seriously
And so we now read that researchers and scientists have found what The Bible, Christians and many other people of faith have been saying for years – and many of our stomachs have been telling us for years – that whilst in the new covenant all foods appear permissible, some foods simply make you sick. Im talking about oysters, crab, shellfish, sushi and the like. Everyone knows that if you don’t boil the hell out of these (almost literally) often dirt and filth eating critters, you’ll be vomiting quicker than you can run to the toilet.
Here’s the article for all those that are interested. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3413873/Alzheimer-s-cause-discovered-Poisonous-algae-freshwater-lakes-reservoirs-UK-fuelling-dementia-epidemic-afflicting-1m-people.html
I love God, Christ, The Bible. art, painting, playing music, improvising music, guitar (first instrument), drumming (not very good at it:), and anything musical or art related.
