Bootleg
liquor may kill the consumer, but it heals the bootlegger!
Many people travel to Europe
to see old ruins when all they really had to do was go to the local pub!
People who can afford to
gamble do not need money and those who need money cannot afford to gamble!
Actual sign in Norway: Ladies
are required not to have babies in the bar!
A few Christians
and increasingly, non Christians, are becoming highly intolerant of smoking
and intolerant
of those who drink. I don't know why a true Christian would be intolerant.
Even some of the early disciples of Christ got stoned a few times.(Acts
7:59;
14:19),
albeit
a different type of stoning. Just joking!
Second hand smoke is anathema
to a lot of people unless it's from an electronic
cigarette or cigar and apparently, they're not at all good for health.
Some people even fear smoke! They are ignorant of the facts! They
cite.1Corinthians
6:19 but may neglect
Matthew 15:16-19.
They probably don't know
about nicotine, that's it's not only in tobacco but also in potatoes and
tomatoes, especially green ones and that the human body has receptors
to absorb nicotine keeping it healthy. Clean tobacco, that is, without
the some 300 chemicals the cabal corporations add, is ok. Like beer is
ok too, but again there are around 47 chemicals added to it, not good.
Sincere
love for others is so far above and so much more effectual
for good than our inconsistencies
regarding evil, that there really is no comparison:.1Peter
4:8 "And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves,
for charity shall cover the multitude of sins."
People should be more concerned
with what they are eating and equally important, how
they are reacting in social situations.
Japan and other Asian countries
have always consumed the highest amount per capita of cigarettes in the
world, by far. Japan, as one example, had almost no cancer and heart disease
until about 40 years ago. Yet they smoked then as they still do today.
Lots.
What caused the change?
The Japanese moved away from their diet of mostly home grown organic vegetables,
naturally fermented preparations in the form of pickles, proper oxygen
providing oils.(enables
oxygen to reach the cells).freshly
cooked whole grains.(not
the wheat and other grains we have today that are toxic due to the use
of all the 'cides', but also because
their seeds have been genetically modified {and in true deceit, unlabeled},
so avoid them if you value your health or only select organic ones),
sea vegetables.(seaweed).and
adopted an American diet, high in cancer feeding sugars.
They also moved from whole
brown rice to white rice, which has been known to kill rats if that's all
you gave them and cause beriberi.(Beriberi,
White Rice and Vitamin B by Kenneth Carpenter, University of California
Press, ISBN 05202205396).in
humans. They started white breads, pasta, simple sugars.(complex
sugars are better as they slowly release into the blood stream from the
intestine, evenly maintaining blood sugar levels, whereas simple sugars
go into the blood stream from the oral cavity, esophagus and stomach).and
generally all the convenient, processed, frozen and canned 'foods' so common
in kitchens of western homes. Did they do this to improve or maintain your
health? Demon
influenced people are not capable of this ideal.
They moved from a diet of
fish.(they
ate mostly white fleshed fish; had no dangerous amounts
of mercury as fish do today, so eat a few organic strawberries before
and after having fish).and
started eating far more regular meat and chicken than is healthy for them.
As a result their cancer and heart disease rate is now almost equal to
those of the western world.
But we blame smoking. We
avoid taking responsibility for toxic attitudes and habits we may have,
while at the same time blame others for what we deem
to be out of balance. But it's better to smoke and eat well than to not
smoke and consume what Americans, Europeans, Canadians, Australians, New
Zealanders and other 'civilized' countries are consuming.
Get
a better diet.
Emmanuel said that anything.(crap
food, genetically engineered/modified 'frankenfood' {so buy where it says
on the label,.'non-GMO,
organic'}, smoking or what have you).cannot
defile
a man spiritually, unless as the ancients ignorantly believed, their
idols held some power. But for those having more sense, it's a different
story:.Deuteronomy
32:17.
Belief can activate evil
for the one believing it can. Do you believe
in death?
It is what
comes out of an individual's heart that defiles him, so do not
be down on those who smoke and drink. Emmanuel was not down on them:.Matthew
15:16-19 "And Emmanuel said, Have you not learned anything? Do not
you yet comprehend that whatsoever enters in at the mouth goes into the
belly and is cast out into the draught? But those things which proceed
out of the mouth come forth from the heart and they defile the man. For
out
of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders,
adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies." Mark
7:15,18,23..Actions
come from what an individual is and what an individual is, is his thoughts.
Even though man was born good.(Ecclesiastes
7:29), he has allowed much to defile
him:.Psalms
106:39 "Thus were they defiled with their own works and
went a whoring with their own inventions.(or,
inventions for selfish gain by getting others to accept evil ways; the
way of the dark side is to slowly suck you in to their way of thinking,
hate, greed, etc.)."
But, all things
we believe not to be good for us.(Romans
14:23), and/or harmful or negative
toward others, we should eradicate
from our lives:.2Corinthians
7:1 "Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse
ourselves from all filthiness.(original
is 'to pollute so as to stain black' or we can say harmful habits).of
the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness
in the fear of God." 1Corinthians
8:13 "Wherefore, if meat.(just
means 'food', some particular type of a food that may be offensive to another.
probably because of the other person's religious beliefs, and here referring
to the flesh of an animal that some were eating).make
my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world stands, lest
I make my brother to offend."
Bad actions come back on
us, somehow, some way,
some
day. How else can those straighten out who aren't inclined
to learn from their own experiences and those of others.(Obadiah
1:15), whether written down or
heard directly from them.
How many ask
the elderly about their lives for what lessons they could glean?
Instead, most people have to come against a brick wall before they even
see a need to take a different turn. They have been
badly blinded to the truth of living and that makes it hard on them.
The law of reap and sow was set up before our human species. All was ready
for them.
How
do we eradicate negative results that are coming back to haunt us?
