HOME WORK 2

  1. At the time of the Messiah’s 1st coming, we the Hebrews mis-understood the reason for his coming. We did not understand his purpose. We understood point 1) POC but we were not practicing point 2) Health Reform.  Why did we miss the Present Truth for that time?
  2. So it is today, we are not teaching Present Truth because we are caught up in the propagation of the Faith, therefore missing point 1) POC, we are not practicing point 2) Health Reform. Why are we being feed mis-information to the true understanding and the true application to LDE?
  3. Why do we find ourselves in the same place as ancient Israel of old, repeating the same sins/problems we practiced at the Messiah’s 1st coming ?
  4. How are we practicing the same sins at his 2nd coming?
  5. Will we miss the boat again? If not what will it take for us to past the test this time?

ANSWERS

This is the 1st reponse I received:

After the flood, Yahweh allowed the eating of animal flesh (those he considered to be clean) and vegetation to limit the life span of wicked minded people who chose not to be his true followers (Genesis 6:3; 9:3).  I realize now this diet was NEVER intended for the true followers of Yahweh as evidenced in Daniel 1:8-15 when Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah (true Hebrew followers of Yahweh) refused to eat the unhealthy foods offered during their Babylonian captivity, but instead ate pulse and water for ten days.  This resulted in their minds, souls and bodies being much better equip to handle the pressures of the Babylonian captivity than the rest of those who choose the unhealthy foods. 
 
Yahweh established the laws of clean and unclean foods in Leviticus 11 because the Hebrews were constantly being exposed to and choosing unhealthy habits as they interacted with the people of the surrounding nations.  If Yahweh had not established the laws of clean and unclean foods in Leviticus 11, the Hebrew nation would probably have eaten themselves into extinction.  Once again, this diet was not intended for the true followers of Yahweh. Daniel and his 3 friends knew about this same diet in Leviticus 11, but they chose the pulse and water diet because they knew a natural diet was characteristic of Yahweh's true followers. 
 
This brings us to the state of the Hebrew nation at the time of Messiah's first coming.  The mass majority of the Hebrews were not practicing Health Reform because they had become comfortable with the propaganda that was handed down to them from previous generations.  Forty-two generations of Hebrews had passed from Abraham to the Messiah (Matthew 1:17).  With each succeeding generation, their physical, spiritual and mental states became worse and worse. 
 
It was obvious by their reaction to the Messiah that this generation of Hebrews was faithfully practicing unhealthy lifestyles.  They prided themselves on following the Mosaic Law to the letter which would have included the Leviticus 11 diet.  They were so far removed from the original Garden of Eden diet that their minds were clouded to the point they could not use sound judgment or spiritual discernment.  Their study of the scriptures were distorted and this in turn led them to believe and teach erroneous interpretations which would further result in their inability to recognize the Messiah and not understand the true purpose of his first coming thereby completing missing the Present Truth for that time.

So it is with us today.  We are being fed so much propagation and we just sit back and accept it because our health habits are even worse than the Hebrews during the time of Messiah's first coming.  As a result of such unhealthy lifestyles, our minds too are clouded and now we can't even recognize Present Truth.  We are even further removed from the original Garden of Eden diet to point that our study of the scriptures is even more distorted which has led us (just like the Hebrews of old) to believe and teach erroneous interpretations of the Bible.  However our state of being is far worse than the Hebrews of old because at least they had extensive knowledge of POC.  We unfortunately have lost this knowledge and as a result our physical, spiritual and mental well being is severely damaged.  If we continue to neglect health reform in our lives, we will (1) continue to accept the propagation that the enemy has laid out before us (2) not be equipped to handle what will be required of us during LDE and (3) miss the boat again at Yahshua 2nd coming.
 
I mentioned in our previous homework questions that many of us view health reform as merely an option in our spiritual walk with Yahweh and not as a requirement.  Health reform is not only limited to what we eat with our mouths, but also what we do with our other human capabilities which include:
 
what we think with our brains
what we see with our eyes
what we hear with our ears
what we smell with our noses
what we touch with our hands
 
All of our senses are integrated and communicate with one another through our brain signals.  What we put in our mouths greatly impacts what we do with the rest of our human capabilities.  The devil knows this which is why we are constantly bombarded with unhealthy lifestyle choices.  He knows that if we fill our mouths with unhealthy foods, this will in turn lead us to think unhealthy thoughts, with our brains; watch unhealthy things with our eyes, listen to unhealthy things with our ears, smell unhealthy things with our noses and touch unhealthy things with our hands.
 
I must truly admit that until now I have never really looked at health reform as such a critical component in my spiritual walk.  I've known about the health message in my church for years, but because I too have been caught up in the propaganda of the Faith, I've never really taken this part of my spirituality seriously.  For example, I felt that as long as I had Leviticus 11 in my back pocket that was my justification for eating meat.  I don't know how many times I've tried to change my health habits only to resort back to my old ways.  My prayer is that Yahweh will continue to wash my spiritual eyes with eye salve and give me the strength to implement his health laws in my life so that I will not miss out on Present Truth.
 
I also see on the Calendar of Events page that the 10-day Passover Oxygen Therapy Cleanse Program will be starting on Tuesday, March 30th.  I would like to participate in the Program. What do I need to do to prepare for the program?


This is the 2nd reponse I received:

At the time of the Messiah’s 1 st coming we the Hebrews mis-understood the reason for his coming. We did not understand his purpose. We understood point 1) POC but we were not practicing point 2) Health Reform.  Why did we miss the Present Truth for that time?

Israel had gone through Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Media-Persia, Greece, and at that time was in Rome. They had refused manna in the wilderness after Egyptian Bondage. Unlike Daniel they did not purpose in their heart not to partake of the king’s meat. Living years and practicing every culture but their own, they lost sight of Yahweh and his way. Health is a part of his ways. His ways are seen in The Way.

Hebrews 3:10
Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

So the Present truth for that time and any other time will not be seen clearly or even seen at all until we allow the Messiah’s way in us.

 

So it is today, we are not teaching Present Truth because we are caught up in the propagation of the Faith, therefore missing point 1) POC, we are not practicing point 2) Health Reform. Why are we being feed mis-information to the true understanding and the true application to LDE?

Mis-information started with father of mis-information. The father of mis-information has children. His children are teaching us and our children. Can we really expect true application from such teachers, be it LDE or any other time?

John 8:44
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

The problem here is what source or sources are we listening to. As one writer put it:

“Those to whom the message of truth is spoken seldom ask, "Is it true?" but, "By whom is it advocated?" Multitudes estimate it by the numbers who accept it; and the question is still asked, "Have any of the learned men or religious leaders believed?" Men are no more favorable to real godliness now than in the days of Christ. They are just as intently seeking earthly good, to the neglect of eternal riches; and it is not an argument against the truth, that large numbers are not ready to accept it, or that it is not received by the world's great men, or even by the religious leaders.” DA 459

Why do we find ourselves in the same place as ancient Israel of old, repeating the same sins/problems we practiced at the Messiah’s 2nd? ( I think you mean 1 st coming)

Yes, you are right. I meant 1st coming.

Ignorance first and rebellion second!

 

How are we practicing the same sins at his 1 st coming? ( I think you mean 2nd coming)

How are we practicing….? Ignorance first and rebellion second! Simple: Same actions same results.

Yes, you are right. I meant 2nd coming.

John 3:19
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and
men loved darkness rather than light , because their deeds were evil.

Will we miss the boat again? If not what will it take for us to past the test this time?

If we choose the same way, yes.

1 John 5:4
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

“To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.” Rev 3:21

22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.


This is the 3rd reponse I received:

At the time of the Messiah’s 1st coming we the Hebrews mis-understood the reason for his coming. We did not understand his purpose.

We understood point

1) POC but we were not practicing point 2) Health Reform. Why did we miss the Present Truth for that time?

So it is today, we are not teaching Present Truth because we are caught up in the propagation of the Faith, therefore missing point 1) POC, we are not practicing point 2) Health Reform.

 

Why are we being feed mis-information to the true understanding and the true application to LDE?

*I think it is very important to keep us, Christian, comfortable. If we are not informed of the impending crisis then we can be side tracked (for lack of a better phrase) as to what the ‘church’ as a messenger really means.

* Is it possible that economics is involved in the propaganda moment? As a child, I was taught these points as the Health Message included only these points: do not eat meat, do not smoke, and do not eat pork. The best diet included to only use the Loma Linda/ Worthington products to maintain a health body, mind and soul.

 

Why do we find ourselves in the same place as ancient Israel of old, repeating the same sins/problems we practiced at the Messiah’s second?

Is it possible that we are mislead, no focused on the meaning of what we are observing, but rather, only on current situations.

How are we practicing the same sins at his first coming?

We are ignoring the plight of individuals and making the Bible relevant to 2010.

Will we miss the boat again?

YES

If not what will it take for us to past the test this time?
