Food law or Dietary law
Is it possible for a Christian to eat everything. For example we have no problem eating Pork but many of Evangelical christian will say NO to drink a cup of Beer. How do we draw the line? We usually condemn or dislike those who chew betel nut, drinking beer and so on. Is their faith so weak until they eat those things. Some people even so sure that they will go to HELL.
How do we draw the line??? What should we eat?
Many Christians also deceased with diabetes due to over consumption of sugar, sweet drinks or we called them soft drinks. Are we saying anythings taste sweet is permissible and anything labeled as soft-drink is consumable. Today's Christianity is complex and issues are not simple as we though.
The dietary problems that we are currently facing are all man-made; we may not be aware of it but it is a fact that we have ignored to talk about it seriously.
Personally, I will prefer to drink a cup of beer rather then a can of Coke, a glass of wine rather than a cup of tea (very sweet with contents milk). ( Some things are doable but not edifying so I am not siting at a beer bar :D )
The point here is not to make you drink beer, wine and so on but to think how we think and how we judge. May God have mercy on us.
Many of us happily eating pork, blood, and foods that OT forbidden but we don't feel anything. However, we make people who consume more then sweet or soft-drink, or our idea clean foods we are too quick to judge them and throw them in Hell. Are we using majority win system to judge people????
How about consuming too much of Oil, fat, sweet, salts. Can we have mercy on our friends just as the Lord has mercy on us. May God have mercy on all of us.
