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.
