REFORMATION OF FOOD AND DRINKS.

DEADLY OUTCOMES BROUGHT BY INDULGENCE OF TEA AND COFFEE.

By Petro Tumaini.









Though the intanke of Tea,coffee and Tobacco IS underestimated, the spiritual and Medical iplications have a great impact on human body 

  In God's eyes is Sin because God doesnt want us to use anything which destroys His dweling temple ( Your body)

• Did You know that God is concerned with your health than you take care of yourself?
• Did you know that the use of Tea, Tobacco, Coffee and other stimulants is sin though there is no direct prohibition which mention them in the bible?
• Did you ever knew that worshiping and honoring god is more that atending church, it also includes Drinking, Eating and doing everything? 

For you to know the only task you have is Just to scroll down this article to discover the whole truth  of those statements.

How Does Bible show us that god wants us to be careful in whatever we eat or Drink.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20,"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?  You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price.  Therefore honor God with your body,"

Because God is highly concerned with the well being of our bodies, He instructed us to honor him by applying proper principles of eating, drinking and doing everything.

Eating and drinking is also a worship because that determines the presence of holly spirit in God's temple which is our body. So when you eat or drink anything which destroys your health you destroy the Temple of God in turn you chase away the presence of holly spirit in your body. Thats why the bible condemns us that we should not take alcohol.

Apart from alcohol there is other stimulants which though you can not find them in the Bible, God prohibits the use of them because they destroy your health, these are Coffee, Tea , Tobacco, Coce and others.

Forinstance there is no verse in the Bible which say's "Thou shalt not smoke cigarete" but cigarate smoking is highly condemned Why? Because it is hamful to the Temple of God (Your body)

Let us take a specific look at Biblical implication of Coffee and Tea by considering how god broadened the meaning of  1 Corinthians 6:19-20, through his revelation to Ellen g White. If you wants to know the Coplete profile of Ellen G White, go to the following link- www.whiteestate.org

These are some of Ellen G White coments on the use of Coffee, Tea and Alcohol.

There is lot of Stimulants used by human beings which cling us to despair? Satan Has put poisons in some of Plants created by God with the fixed purpose of losing as many people as possible due to indulgence of appetite.
It has been the common practice among Christians to use stimulants like Tea, Coffee, Tobacco and other related stimulants, There is a great deal and negative effects accompanied by the use of these stimulants.
Let’s consider the counsel of God’s prophet Ellen G White which reveals spiritual and Medical implications of these materials which can be found in the table manner of many people.

It must be kept before the people that the right balance of the mental and moral powers depends in a great degree on the right condition of the physical system. All narcotics and unnatural stimulants that enfeeble and degrade the physical nature tend to lower the tone of the intellect and morals. Intemperance lies at the foundation of the moral depravity of the world. By the indulgence of perverted appetite, man loses his power to resist temptation.  {MH 335.1}

It is not attractive to discover the truth unfold concerning stimulants, but so long as we keep on use of these products we can find ourselves geared toward the wilderness of sin, Satan is aware that spiritual power can be affected by the use of Tea, Coffee, and other stimulants.

These can be grouped into legalized drugs , but be watchful with what is termed Legal or Illegal drugs. All have the same effects on human body the only difference is the speed of bringing outcomes. Legal drugs like Coffee, Tea and Tobacco kills very slow and their effects can be witnessed even after ten years, twenty and above.

GOD NEEDS HIS PEOPLE TO HAVE TEMPERENCE.
Temperance reformers have a work to do in educating the people in these lines. Teach them that health, character, and even life, are endangered by the use of stimulants, which excite the exhausted energies to unnatural, spasmodic action.  {MH 335.2} 

GOD ADVISE US TO AVOID EVEN TOUCHING  STIMULANTS.
In relation to tea, coffee, tobacco, and alcoholic drinks, the only safe course is to touch not, taste not, handle not. The tendency of tea, coffee, and similar drinks is in the same direction as that of alcoholic liquor and tobacco, and in some cases the habit is as difficult to break as it is for the drunkard to give up intoxicants. Those who attempt to leave off these stimulants will for a time feel a loss and will suffer without them. But by persistence they will overcome the craving and cease to feel the lack. {MH 335.3} 

MESSAGE TO ALCOHOLIC DRINKERS AND MANUFACTURERS

"Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; . . . that saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is ceiled with cedar, and painted with vermilion. Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? . . . Thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it." Jeremiah 22:13-17. 

 This scripture pictures the work of those who manufacture and who sell intoxicating liquor. Their business means robbery. For the money they receive, no equivalent is returned. Every dollar they add to their gains has brought a curse to the spender.  {MH 337.2} 

Coffee , Tea  and  Alcohol  destroys your health. God wants you to stay healhy because your body is the temple of god, satan wants to destroy your health because he doesnt want God's Holly Spirit to abide in you. May God bless you as you take measures to reform in food and drinks.
