Sabbath Message by Wade Cox

 

Dear Friends,

This Sabbath a question was asked regarding mushrooms on the forum. Some people are under the misapprehension that mushrooms should not be eaten because they are spore driven and not grown from seeds, as we understand them in the general sense of the word. I will deal with this aspect and also with the general food situation at the beginning of the 21st century in the current civil calendar.

The Bible does not deal in centuries, it deals in jubilees, which are half centuries and timed distinctly from the civil system. This is the 120th jubilee from the dispersion after the Garden of Eden. It is the end of the Sixth Millennium and the end of the reign of Satan in just a few short years.

Much of the misunderstanding regarding food and health is spread about by demons using the foolish of the world in general, but also using some of God's elect who follow fads and do not think carefully about what they do.

Sometimes God's people err on the side of safety, also in not wanting to make a mistake and so if they don't really know, they don't do it unless it is really a sin and they sin in ignorance. It is to those dear friends that I address this letter so that they are not restricted because they do not know.

Also our people are being destroyed deliberately by wickedness in high places and I wish to deal with those aspects. On the New Moon I will continue on into the identification and dispersion of the English Speaking people and where they came from and the moves against them in the last days.

Let us now examine a number of food aspects that are of general importance to the faith.

Mushrooms:

Mushrooms are classed as fungi. Some fungi are edible and some are not. This is often so with many classes of plants.

Why would all fungi have to be "kosher" as some people refer to it meaning able to be eaten according to the Torah when some mushrooms are edible and others are not?

That is like saying in reverse that all animals are kosher because all cows are kosher. The logic does not follow. It generalizes from the specific. Or more directly: We cannot eat all animals therefore we cannot eat any animals.

The Torah allows the eating of mushrooms. It certainly does not specifically forbid it.

The general objection to mushrooms comes from an incorrect distinction between seeds and spores.

Because the word translated "seeds" is used in the Torah, in Genesis, regarding the seeds and the herbs of the earth being given to mankind for food, it is assumed that as mushrooms come from spores they are not grown from seeds and hence not given to us as food.

That is an argument stemming from ignorance.

If spore driven organisms are not classed as food then we are prohibited from eating bread and drinking wine or any juice, as yeast is a spore driven organism. Indeed we could not eat any foods at all because the spores of wild yeast are found in all other foods due to their pervasive nature. It is the wild yeast that ferments all wines and juices. Yeast raises bread. If the eating of yeast were not permissible then the loaves in the offering at Pentecost would be unholy and, by extension, the Holy Spirit within us would also be unholy and we would not be able to be saved.

The confusion comes from not regarding spores as a legitimate seed mechanism within nature. The Universal Oxford Dictionary classes spores as "one of the minute reproductive bodies characteristic of flowerless plants." Hence it is simply a reproductive means of the plants without flowers and hence comes under the generic term of "plants." To suggest that spore driven plants cannot be eaten is to make a distinction the Bible does not make.

To class mushrooms as a fungi and say therefore we cannot eat all fungi is rather like saying: because we cannot eat some forms of Nightshades we cannot therefore eat potatoes, or tomatoes, or aubergines/eggplants, all of which are Nightshades.

Spores are just another seeding mechanism within the structure of nature as determined by God.

Hence edible mushrooms can be used as food. There is no prohibition within the Bible against the eating of mushrooms whatsoever, other than the obvious reason of not eating the poisonous varieties because they will do you harm. The argument is a perversion of Scripture.

Vegetarianism and Veganism and Big Agribusiness.

Up until the rise of the Vegetarians within the Seventh Day Adventist Church, Vegetarianism and the even more aberrant form, Veganism was regarded as an aberration of the ascetics. The practice comes from the ancient pagan systems such as found among the Pythagoreans and Gnostic sects and is logically a direct attack on the ordinances laid down in the Bible under the laws of God. Indeed, it logically attacks and impugns the nature of God. It is certainly no, and never has been, regarded as a Christian practice until it emerged in the sects following on from the developments in Europe, and developed in the SDA's in the end of the 19th century in the USA. The history of the doctrines are found in the paper Vegetarianism and the Bible (No. 183) at www.ccg.org/english/s/p183.html.

After the Vegetarians took over the SDA system and brought it down with their aberrant and finally Trinitarian doctrines, they found a significant ally in an unlikely source. That was in an unholy alliance with US Agribusiness.

After WWII and the development of nuclear energy in the USA and Russia, a serious pollution scare was encountered.
It was found that the nuclear reactors set up in the USA were unsafe and emitting radioactive materials. These materials were affecting pasture downwind and were being taken up into the food chain. Strontium 90 was being found in milk products and so the lie was put forward that by taking a milk substitute people would become healthier. The aim was to increase the agricultural produce and expand US production into Asia and sell a product to the poor millions of Asia. To do that they had to convince the wealthier elements of the world economy to eat what was regarded as an inferior protein source. The vegan/vegetarians aided this lie because it went along with their political aims of eliminating animal production for human consumption.

Reactor affected states, such as Washington, switched from Wheat production to Soy Bean production thus reducing demand on fertilizers etc., so they thought, because Soy was a legume used for the purpose of fixing nitrogen in ancient China. It was never eaten in those days and only from the Chou dynasty was it fermented and then consumed as a condiment. It was one of the five sacred grains because its roots fixed nitrogen and that is why the other grains are depicted as ideograms with their seeds and heads but Soybean is depicted, in its ideogram or hieroglyphic, by its root system.

Soy is rich in protein but its proteins are folded and largely unavailable. The technical details are listed on the web at the CCG site in the Health section dealing with Soy.
More importantly, soy is a heavy metal scavenger and scavenges largely on aluminum and also on manganese.

These products inhibit brain development and can cause death in young children, or at least severe brain deficiency.
They also contribute to Alzheimer's disease and depression and other diseases such as Parkinson's Disease and diseases of the nervous system that are affected by the stripping or malformation of myelin on the nervous system. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) was largely unknown until the twentieth century. It is a disease of chemicals that attack the nervous system, such as aluminum and manganese and also nitrates now used in preservatives. It appears to be exacerbated by vegetarianism in that insufficient B12 is absorbed with haem iron, found in meat products, such that the myelin cannot form on the nervous system and the brain is stunted and malfunctions.

Vegetarianism/Veganism is a doctrine of demons as defined by the Bible because it assists in the reduction of the ability of the human species to control its physical and mental functions due to the deliberate reduction of Vitamin B12 and the natural fatty tissue necessary to myelin and the protection of the nervous system. I have had the webmaster promote the article regarding the NZ couple who were reported as being charged, tried and found guilty of causing the death of their child by refusing to feed it normal milk products due to their vegan beliefs and instead feeding it soy products thus reducing the size and function of its brain and ignoring health advice such that they caused its death. They are now in prison and reportedly they have stated they intend to do the same thing with the next child and the wife is now pregnant.

The US Agribusiness is now promoting the consumption of Soy Bean products such that it is found everywhere in the USA and in an alarming array of products that were once free of it.

We had a request for prayer from one of our people in the USA who considered that he and his mother were suffering from a hereditary form of depressive illness. We all prayed that he would find the cause and be cured of the illness. In a few days of our prayer, the articles on Soy were published and he wrote back after examining the articles. He identified the cause of the illness. The common denominator was that he had been drinking Soy and that was causing the illness over a period of time. He has now ceased consumption of the product. We have found in many cases that what was thought to be a hereditary illness was due to family consumption or vegetarianism in the entire family.

Remember Soy should be treated as a dangerous product and should not be consumed other than as a fermented sauce in limited quantities in Asian style dishes.

Aluminum.

Following on from Soy as a classic aluminum scavenger, we sometimes find quacks in the naturopath industry, which is alive with them, recommending aluminum tablets to people.
I know of one person who took them on such advice and it was reported to me that he had damaged his short-term memory. That is why we do not cook in aluminum saucepans. The aluminum is causative of Alzheimer's disease. That is why it is now on the increase.

Tofu.

Tofu is a Soy product that causes serious health problems in people who eat it, and when eaten once or twice a week it will reduce the size of the brain and age it visibly in size, such that the brain is aged by at least five years over fifty. That assumes that the person does all other things equally and is not vegetarian or vegan. If they are the situation will be much worse.

Salt.

Another crazy idea being put out is that salt is bad for you. It is true that salt in excess can do you harm but used in normal food in cooking does not do harm but is necessary. That is why Christ said we are the salt of the earth.

Salt is especially necessary when people have thyroid deficiencies. People who have thyroid problems who listen to quacks and stop taking salt will very rapidly start to lose their hair. I know one woman who listened to such a quack and found her hair falling out in handfuls and had to take salt tablets to get the balance back under control.

In the same way, people who decide that they don't need salt and leave it out of their cooking must make sure that people who work hard, or who are growing and playing, or who have thyroid problems in their families must make sure that there is adequate salt in the cooking and diet.

Do not assume that because you are able to withstand it, that the young, and the labourers, and elderly and the sick are so fortunate. You may kill someone in your stupidity.
Also don't assume that what works in one country will work in another. Australia for example is deficient in iodine in its drinking water in comparison to other countries, and some states of some countries differ from others.

Use your brains and avoid fads. Keep up to date with technology and take nutrition seriously. Follow the Bible food laws and they will keep you healthy. If Christ and the apostles ate meat, then assume it is good enough for you to remain healthy on it. Eat clean meats and healthy cooked vegetables. Do not use sewage to fertilize salad vegetables and then eat them without cooking. If in Asia, watch what you eat. Don't drink water that is not sterilized.

Study the paper The Food Laws (No. 15) at www.ccg.org/english/s/p015.html

Remember that what is promoted by the system as a great idea must be tested. Tobacco was a great idea also until it was found to be a killer and the system lied to us for decades to protect the superannuation funds of the USA.

The same was true of asbestos.

In a few years we will all be banning or limiting Soy products and wanting to prosecute the people who lied to us about it also.

Hormones.

Don't eat food raised on hormones. Don't eat chickens raised in such ways. Do without and pay extra for the range fed and raised stuff. Eat eggs that are free range.

Don't eat bread that is sweetened and like dough used in fish bait.

Diabetes is on the increase in the USA at an alarming rate and it is due to the amount of sugar used in their diet. When you see dieticians calling for you to reduce sugar and eat certain products remember that the US products are heavily adulterated with sugar. That is so even in the same types of products. For example, I was in Kansas City and had to go to a British style store to buy some products for Passover which were not readily available in the US. I needed Hot English Mustard to go with Rosemary for the lamb cooking.

The owners of the store explained to me why they were carrying some imported items that were freely available in the US supermarkets. They said that the ones in the supermarkets were much more heavily sugared and they do not taste like the people overseas are used to and so there is a great demand for the products. This was for items like baked beans and things we take for granted as staple food items.

People are getting mature age onset diabetes at the age of 12 and 13 in the USA because of their diet. Reduce your sugar and avoid fast food if you live in the USA. Cook at home as often as you can. Eat as a family around the dining table at night and you will find you actually might love one another more and learn a lot.

Love one another and keep each other healthy.

The greatest and most important job on this planet is carried out by the women who raise the next generation.

The husbands are there to protect them and to help them in that task. The family is the building block of the state and the nation, and without it the world will collapse as it is now doing.

The major state of the sons of Abraham to collapse as a system was that of the sons of Keturah, who became known to us as the Spartan Greeks. They became a military society that minimized the role of the family and as such collapsed.

Protect our people and eat properly. Bring the children up healthy and strong with good brains. Resist the doctrines of demons. Love one another and protect the family.
