You are what you eat!

There’s plenty of medical research that backs up
religious advice to avoid the “other white meat,” pork.

Deuteronomy 14:8 (Amplified Bible)
8And the swine, because it parts the hoof but does not chew the cud; it is unclean to you. You shall not eat of their flesh or touch their dead bodies.

Eating healthy is a very important thing. Remember your body is the temple and the dwelling place for our Creator. We know this because he gave us his breath. The only reason we are breathing is because he gave us his breath of life.

If only we could return to our natural diet or atleast clean it up a bit by using the guideline that our Creator gave us to follow. I truly believe we as black women would not be suffering from so many diseases if we would only return to our Creator and do what he says do. For example; the told us to stop eating swine, pork chops, pork ribs etc… Many of us think that it is ok to eat anything because of these scriptures in the Bible:

Matthew 15
17Do you not see and understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the [ ]abdomen and so passes on into the place where discharges are deposited?

18But whatever comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this is what makes a man unclean and defiles [him].

19For out of the heart come evil thoughts (reasonings and disputings and designs) such as murder, adultery, sexual vice, theft, false witnessing, slander, and irreverent speech.
 
20These are what make a man unclean and defile [him]; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him unclean or defile [him].

We refuse to understand that these scriptures have been taken out of contents and used for what we can eat, when in fact this entire conversation was about washing of the hands not eating food. Read the scripture again and ask the Creator to take the blinders off.
You see my Sistas, Yah/God words never change he always remains the same. So when he said the following:
Deuteronomy 14:8 (Amplified Bible)
8And the swine, because it parts the hoof but does not chew the cud; it is unclean to you. You shall not eat of their flesh or touch their dead bodies.
AND
Isaiah 65:4 (Amplified Bible)
4Who sit among the graves [trying to talk with the dead] and lodge among the secret places [or caves where familiar spirits were thought to dwell]; who eat swine's flesh, and the broth of abominable and loathsome things is in their vessels;

He meant it even for today. Stop defiling your Temple/Body.
