MUCH TOO THINK ABOUT...CONSEQUENCES OF SIN.

   Let's face it, most of us think of sins as the breaking of the Ten Commandments, agree?

   Then Please tell me the why, of the following verses.

    1 Corinthians 10:31  "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of                                               God."
    Now, all by itself, This  may not mean to much to anyone, but keep on reading...

    1 Corinthians 6:19  "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?."

    1 Corinthians 6:20  "For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."
Jesus Christ willingly. . . . died for Y O U,  and all of us!

    So, allow me (J.B.) to ask a few questions:  "Do Y O U, really and truly know that-------
Alcohol is good or bad for your body?  [Drink enough within a short time and you'll die from alcohol poisoning! so how much poison is too much?] Yes Wine THEY say is good for us, but no more so than grape juice without the harm of alcohol! Look realistically, at the cost to person, to family, to nation. In 2010 there were 38 ,000 traffic deaths, over 50% involved alcohol, but God only knows the missed hours of work and jobs lost because of it!
Proverbs 20:1  "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise."
Proverbs 23:31 " Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright."
Note: The Bible has no word for grape juice, it's all called wine.

Tobacco: In any form can't be good, chew it and get mouth/throat cancer, smoke it and get lung cancer, and even cancer else where, not to mention your heart and brain operating with Carbon dioxide and some 6999 other chemicals! Let's not even go to smoking of weed shall we? Just ask any non stoned, or even one's that are, parents, "DO you want your child using dope, or smoking weed? Most will say NO! How about Y O U ? If that does not move you, how about this, "The Drug cartels are running some three nations, and it's YOUR habit that keeps them financed, to bribe, to murder, now does THAT NOT, make users an accessory?  Think about it!!

Foods: "We are what we eat".  Now a QUESTION: IF...if Y O U accept the fact that we are all Created beings by the hand of God, think Y O U that He as our Maker would know and then tell us what's best for us to use as fuel for our bodies? How many of us would take the advice of our butchers, for the best care and feeding of our cars? Would we ALL not refer to the manufacturer?

   Genesis 1:29-31  "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.  And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.  And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day."

    Note: It was only after the full earth flood, that God allowed mankind to eat CLEAN meat. That why for the seven pairs of clean animals, and only two by two of the non-clean life forms on the ark, with Noah!

    Leviticus 11:2-8  "Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you."
   Deuteronomy 14:9-10 " These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat: And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you."

   Do not many of us eat shrimp, crab, lobster, clams and oysters, even octopus and squid?  So why not also eat crows, vultures, and the like? Do Y O U not know that God designed them for the solitary purpose of SANITATION? They are all along with the pig and all other scavengers, His clean-up crew, His garbage disposal units! Can you see YOU eating a sandwich mad with the breast of vulture, or fried RAT?

Now put these non-clean animals next to this verse....   1 Corinthians 10:31  "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of  God."
   So how can anyone bring Glory to God, by eating stuff that's designed to be his garbage crew?
Therefore is is not a sin, to disobey God, and eat all this stuff? Is this not SELF PURIFICATION?

     Isaiah 66:17  "They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD."

    Genesis 13:6  "And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together"
    .Genesis 13:8-9  "And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.  Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left."
    Genesis 13:11  "Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other"
   Genesis 13:12-13  "Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly"

     You see, actions and choices come with consequences, as before long Lot moved himself and family into the city of Sodom, and the rest is history as they say.

  So it what Y O U are eating, drinking, is not up to His standards, and NOW that Y O U know it, it is a sin------
. Romans 6:23  "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

   Therefore any sin, by any one, will be the death penalty, UNLESS it is repented of., with a sorrow filled heart, and asked forgiveness for, they shall die while still clinging to their favourite sin! ONLY Y O U, can say your sin is worth dying for, right?

Now am I far too harsh? Well how harsh, is eternal death? Yes we all shall die, and all shall be resurrected again, but only the ones with Christ's Spirit within will not taste the second death, the death within the Lake of fire of Revelation's one time only use!

To all who believe in the man-made idea of Evolution, A  QUESTION: All live forms, have various levels of self healing, agree? Then why, has life not evolved to eliminate death, after all it has had, per the faux science Billions of years to get it done, right?
