I bet there aren't many 7th Day Adventists living in big ole Texas
I'd just give up eating meat of any kind and rely a lot on beans...glad God made them! Fresh fruits and veggies will be next...?
Would you like to hear a true story dear sister .
One of the adventists , a very nice man , but sadly confused
was talking to me . Now he was a manager at dominoes pizza .
Anyway i had went in to talk with him . I already knew he didnt eat certain meats .
SO i sure was not gonna talk about that with him .
But anyway he got on the subject and was talking about how he only ate cheese and vegetable pizza .
Which i had no problem with his diet . The only problem i had was how he was trying to turn it all into sin .
But anyway . We had talked often . I had also talked with him
as he was handing out tracts at a wal mart . Now this was YEARS ago .
Anway it was talking about YE shall not use the name of the LORD in vain .
Well i quoated the whole thing , and he was suprised . He would also come into
my store and he had this lil book with him .
I was always talking to him bout the bible . Anway he was looking for things in the bible
due to He was going to write a paper and do a sermon
with his church . He was so shocked when i was telling him the scrips and showing him where to find them .
NOW HERE is the kicker .
WE got on the subject of REMARRIAGE . i explained to him why i was single . I had put away my wife
even cheated on her and thus could not remarry .
Would you like to know what he then told me . now remember this is the same guy
that was talking about how sinful , sinful meats are and DO NOT touch .
HE said this . HEY man , GOD dont want you alone , HE GIVES YOU GRACE to remarry
cause in genesis HE even said it was not good for the man to be alone . TALK ABOUT IRONY .
Meats , drinks and days are not even sin . BUT ADULTERY IS .
SO according to him I HAD GRACE TO COMMIT ADULTERY , BUT NO GRACE < NO NEVER TOUCH MEAT .
YOU SEE the problem yet sister . THEY are making war over stuff that aint even sin
and yet GIVING GRACE FOR A MAN TO COMMIT that which IS A SIN . ITS sad what some religions can do to folks .
