Boy, have I been well seasoned!

How long has this Daniel diet been in the old testament? And how long has the old testament been in peoples hands? And how long has people stopped reading? Nothing is new. Jesus complained about people worshipping with their lips with empty hearts. All that will do to the people in the United States is make them put more fries on their biggie sizes so they can waddle faster.

Rev 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

Hey Gregg, back in the middle ages they used to eat and drink from leaden vessels. The lead was poisoning them and they did not realize it. The result was that the general population became greatly weakened and the result of that was that the bubonic plague was able to gain a foothold and become a pandemic. That wiped out the larger proportion of all the living men, women and children in Europe and the British Isles.

Many expressions we now "enjoy" in our every day speech have their derivation in that time. One of them is the "graveyard shift." People would go into a coma for days and be thought to be dead. But there would often be strange voices and howling and crying in the middle of the night in graveyards. They thought it was ghosts. But over time, it got to be realized what may be happening. So they established a watch in the graveyards and if they saw or heard anything they would dig up the body to see if it were alive afterall. They eventually began keeping people around for a few days and would hold a "wake" to watch them. The entire reason was to give them time to see if they would recover. I am sure a few were saved by that process.

I said all that to say this, your posts hit me like that...graveyard material...harsh criticism or richly deserved...you be the judge of that....

And now, people do not eat from leaden vessels, but those that were effected by the lead they ingested passed on their infections to the following generations. The people realized that the lead was hurting them and said, 'Hey, let's get rid of the lead.' But, what knowledge comes from a body that has no lead they did not know because everybody ate from leaden vessels. The knowledge that comes from not having lead in your system could be that people that are in a coma appear to be dead.
Well, they got rid of the lead slowly and watched a lot of graveyards and started feeling a little lighter on their toes, but their buildings started burning down. They discovered a substance that they could spray in the attics of buildings that would not burn because the angels that are dwelling in the attic are a little hot when they first get there after flying through the atmosphere of the earth. Well, the angels they thought were there started getting sick and they knew it was the stuff they were spraying in their attics so they banned all asbestos.
It took some time to remove all of the asbestos, but they noticed that their children were not learning as fast as they should. Well they thought, 'It's not the lead and the asbestos is gone; it is probably the nickel in the paint. Yes, the nickel in the paint.

All you do is continue to prove my point...you will follow this line until it is nothing but the dust from the ground I suppose....your sardonic wit is supposed to bring some folks to a crucible, but I for one do not buy from your store house of sour grapes and lemons, grown upon the fecal matter of some assumed virtuosity on your part.

I dislike the way you to choose to malign some of my posts with your vain innuendo and inferred recriminations of sundry points of rule in spiritual matters.

I was just trying to lighten things up a little. And I was trying my best to prove your point. Read the ingredients in your food that you so graciously give thanks for and notice red dye #4, sodium bisulphate, propylene glycol, hydrogenated vegetable oils, etc. What does your body do with that stuff? It stores it in the fat and people get fatter and fatter because your body does not know why you put that in you. Your body is like the ant. The ant does not waste a thing and neither does your body, your flesh. Jesus said, 'Go to the ant, you sluggard.'

Oh, fasting speeds you up.

While I think this could have been said better... Gregg does have a point. The things they put in our food...
rather true that a lot of this stuff is no good for our bodies.

Anyway, I have hypoglycemia... so when I fast it is a Daniel fast.
