3 John 2 – “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
3 John 2 –
If God wants His people in Health, yet the majority of the world is stricken with sickness & disease, the question is…WHAT HAPPENED?
Genesis 3 tells us the story of the fall of man. It started out over a piece of fruit. Adam & Eve ate that which God told them not to eat and this in turn brought wretchedness & death.
WHAT WAS THE RESULT?
Romans 5:12 – “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”
IN THE BIBLE WE ARE TOLD THE FOLLOWING:
Deuteronomy 30:19 – “I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:”
***God wants us to choose the path of life and blessings, not death and curses.
Proverbs 26:2 – “...the curse causeless shall not come.”
Some of these curses deal with sickness & disease (Deuteronomy 28:15, 21, 27, 28, 35, 45)
WE ARE TOLD THE FOLLOWING REGARDING SICKNESS & DISEASE:
“Disease never comes without a cause. The way is prepared and disease invited by disregard of the laws of health. Many suffer in consequence of the transgression of their parents. While they are not responsible for what their parents have done, it is nevertheless their duty to ascertain what are and what are not violations of the laws of health. They should avoid the wrong habits of their parents and, by correct living, place themselves in better conditions.” {MH 234 .1}
“Disease is an effort of nature to free the system from conditions that result from a violation of the laws of health.” {MH 127 .1}
“ALL SICKNESS is the RESULT OF TRANSGRESSION.” {CH 37 .2}
In Genesis chapters 1 & 2: God gave Adam & Eve all that they needed to survive. Air/Oxygen, Water, Fruits, Nuts, grains, seeds, exercise, sunshine, temperance, Rest, and He asked them to trust in Him.
“Pure air, sunlight, abstemiousness, rest, exercise, proper diet, the use of water, trust in divine power--these are the true remedies...” {MH 127 .2}
The green herb of the field was not added until after sin (Genesis 3:18)...Now that man was going to sweat, he would need the electrolytes found in the herb/vegetables of the field. In the days of the FLOOD, when God permitted the eating of Flesh, it was because the vegetation was going to be destroyed....It was not His original plan for the eating of flesh, but He gave permission...However, He counseled that when they ate the flesh, they would lose years off of their lives (Genesis 9:5) ...Prior to the Flood, the youngest man to die was 777...After the flood, after Noah's son's passed, by the time of Abraham, man was dying around 130.
By the way, it was only the clean animals that were permitted to be eaten, and there were rules and regulations that had to be followed in order to eat the flesh. (See Gen. 7:1-3, then Gen. 9:3-5 and Lev. 11, Deut. 14).
Then, several hundred years later, when God was bringing His people out of Egypt, He attempted to give them a FLESH-FREE DIET, but they murmured and complained...He fulfilled their wishes of having the FLESHPOTS OF EGYPT and rained quail down for them to eat. We are told that they died while it was between their teeth. (Numbers 11:4-34)
So from then on, God allowed the eating of flesh among His people, but this was not according to His original purpose. (Ezekiel 20:25)
Even back then, God promised if His people obeyed His voice, kept His statutes and His commandments, He would not put the diseases of the Egyptians on them (Exodus 15:26), yet we have tons of current Scientific articles showing that man today has the very diseases the Mummies had in the days of Moses.
WHY? IS GOD A LIAR?
NO WAY!!! GOD CANNOT LIE (Titus 1:2)
SO WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
“The tables of many professed Christian women are daily set with a variety of dishes which irritate the stomach and produce a feverish condition of the system. Flesh meats constitute the principal article of food upon the tables of some families, until their blood is filled with cancerous and scrofulous humors. Their bodies are composed of what they eat. But when suffering and disease come upon them, it is considered an affliction of providence.” {3T 563.2}
“The violation of physical law, with its consequent suffering and premature death, has so long prevailed that these results are regarded as the appointed lot of humanity; but God did not create the race in such a feeble condition. This state of things is not the work of Providence, but of man. It has been brought about by wrong habits,--by violating the laws that God has made to govern man's existence...” {CD 118 .1}
“The greater number, however, suffer because of their own wrong course of action. They disregard the principles of health by their habits of eating, drinking, dressing, and working. Their transgression of nature's laws produces the sure result; and when sickness comes upon them, many do not credit their suffering to the true cause, but murmur against God because of their afflictions. But God is not responsible for the suffering that follows disregard of natural law.” {MH 234 .2}
Leviticus 17:11 – “For the life of the flesh is in the blood...”
What you put in your body has an effect on the blood, and what kind of blood you have has an effect on your health.
Whether you get enough water, rest, exercise, sunshine, trust in God, etc., also has an effect on the blood...
God is trying to lead His people back to the lifestyle that was given in Eden, including the Genesis 1:29 diet, + the Herb of the Field.
Jeremiah 6:16 – Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
Acts 3:20, 21 – And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
LET US STRIVE TO HEAD BACK TOWARD EDEN...
The fall_________________+_________________Restored
“As our first parents lost Eden through the indulgence of appetite, our only hope of regaining Eden is through the firm denial of appetite and passion. Abstemiousness in diet, and control of all the passions...” {CD 59 .1}

***Forks over Knives is a documentary showing the relationship between the eating of animal products and disease.
