Food for a Fallen World

Even Chrtistians don't always remember that this is a fallen worldm meaing it's under a curse since our first parents disobeyed God and ate the forbidden fruit.,  We fell, we changed, that is, Adam and Eve changed and passed on their new changed and deficient nature to their progeny, us.  We inherit their weakened condition because of the Fall, proneneess to diseases of all sorts, and death of course, which didn'

t exist in the original world.  The world itself was changed, grew up thorns and thistles as ascripture put it, required heavy labor to tame it for gorowing food and  gave us all kinds of pesky creatures that can cause disease and eat all our food to deal with.    Qw were changed initially through the loss of our original ability to commuicate with God.  We lost thje faculty or sense for that, a spiritual sense akin to the physical senses.  We became "but flesh" as God puts it in Genesis Six  As a result we have no innate sense of the existence of Hodf and atheism is an easy state of mind to afall intyo.  We may believe because we are taught to believe, or see things in the world athat suggest that there must be a God, but Adam and Even had a built in sense of God, a direct sense of Him abdnd ability to ommunicate with Him that we olw lack.  

But here i want to talk more about the fallen world and our fallen bodies since we are But  Flesh.  Both our health and the world that supplies the means to keep us healthy are deteriorating due to the Fall.   The foods we eat are treated ijn ways that make them toxic in various ways, and our bodies themselves are  always acquiring new diseases, thought genetic mutation that keeps killing off what must have originally been a very rotective genome.  I don't know how much of what has been called Junk DNA is really junk and how much may have some function or other, but surely since it makes up 98 percent of the genome most of it must be junk rather than regulatory, which is the main fucntion I've heard ascrivbed to it.    That's of courtse my uneducated buess but there are lots of scientists who insist that it really is junk DNA and I uess I'mwit them.

So to my mind junk DNA is one of the results of the FAll, of the ongoing deterioration of our bodies.   We do awfully weell considering thgat.  And then there is the deterioration of the foods, which I just mentioned.   So for these resons we do need to work at dealing with our health, which is why we have these alternative diets that proliferate all the time.  We're always looking for the wmost nutritious and health giving way of deating.  that is, some of us area, some ofth etime.  I guive up easily mself and just eat whatever is easy, but then I geet all fired up to try to be more careful and eat better, which is where I am at the moment.  It's ot easy, that's why I fall away from it. it.  I'm elderly and not in the greatest health, tired all the time for instance, which makes food preparation a chorse that I'm sometimes not up to so I fall back on something easy like opienininhg a can of something.  Cleaning fresh vegeytables is a chorse.  Jucing them ins a HUGE chosre and I'd really like to be able to do that because I believe it would benefit me enormously.  But I did it the other day and it took an hour and a half to clean the begetables, juice them and clean the machine afterward and I was absoluely exhasuseted.    I'm eatierh going to try commercial juices which I know are inferior, or maybe just make a lot less juice.  Or both.  

Years abgo I got into following Chris Wark who cured , well ono, prevented the recurrence of, his colon cancer by changing his diet to  stufing himself with vegetables in many different ofrms, fruits and vegetables that is, juicineg them in huge amounts, making huge salads, and making smoothies.  I'd olike to be up to that.  He had cancer as an incentive and also he was young when he had it and still hjad the energy to do all tit takes to ursuie such a cdiet.  I can't even do my own shopping.     But I love love love carrot juice, esepciallt with beent  bet  beet and celery and green apple, and that's the hardest thinh.  Cleaning and cutting up all the cruciferous vegies for big salads takes work too but not qute as much.  I'm  looking for the right level that I can manage because I've been feeling really worotten lately , even tireder than usual, and really want to do this thing however I can amanage it.d ate the fruit of the forbidden 

Later:  I hope this is the post about the Antichrist but I always have to guess and I'm not sure since I can't see well enough to read anything I write.  Anyway, Just wanted to add to that post that even before the final days when the final Antichrist is to rule the world and be worshipped by all who are not to be saved, the Pope are worshiped.  Think of all the thousands of eope who gathered to hear the announcement of the new Pope, standing in the square praying repetitively with their roasaries and that sort of thing, talking about the Popes in tones of revenerence or awae, calling him "holy fahter" etc.  That's worship.   "If someone comes in his own name, him youi will receive" says Jesus, in the context of saying they won't receive Him.  They'll receive His subsitutte though, whic hch is what the Popes are.  Vicarivs Fiklii Dei which adds up through its Roman numberal s to the infamous uimber of the Antichrist means just that, subsitutte for the Son of God.  The Popes have usurpried His title and His role among the people.  We can alk to Jesus directly, we need no Popes of confessors and we dcertainly don't need the so called Virgin Mary who was ot a virgin after she cagave birth to Jesus but the Catholics dey that obvious fact as scripture presents it.  He is our intercessors, not Mary and not any other stand in for Him.  The Popes usurpr His title as Head of the CHurch.  I remember ewhen God showed me in scripture the two laces where that is stated, that Christ is the head of the Church, when I was disturbed by the claim I'd read in a Catholic book that the Popel is the head of the CHurch.   

Yes  he is worshiped.  So is Mary.  They use different terms for it but it's worship, that belongs to Christ and God the Father and the Holy Spirit and not to any human being.   And the usurpation of God's place among His people really ought to aleret anyone who is thinking scripturally to the fact that the Popes really are the Antichrist.  How the Pre Tribbetrs got seduced off that obvious fact is hard to understand.
