And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that
are on the earth. Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them
that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. And the coney, because he
cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. And the
swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch;
they are unclean to you.
These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. And all that have not fins and
scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: They shall be even an
abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an
abomination unto you. And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the
ossifrage, and the ospray, And the vulture, and the kite after his kind; Every raven after his kind; And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after his
kind, And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and
the bat.
Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby. For I
am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that
creepeth upon the earth. For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. This is the law of the
beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth: To make a difference between the unclean
and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
LEV 11:1-47
When will those who know the truth take their stand on the side of right principles for time and for eternity? When will they be true to
the principles of health reform? When will they learn that it is dangerous to use flesh meat? I am instructed to say that if ever meat
eating were safe, it is not safe now.
Counsels on Diet and Foods (1938), page 384
Those who use flesh meats freely do not always have an unclouded brain and an active intellect, because the use of
the flesh of animals tends to cause a grossness of body and to benumb the finer sensibilities of the mind. The liability to
disease is increased by flesh eating. We do not hesitate to say that meat is not essential to the maintenance of health
and strength.
Counsels on Health (1923), page 115
Those who indulge in meat eating, tea drinking, and gluttony are sowing seeds
for a harvest of pain and death. The unhealthful food placed in the stomach
strengthens the appetites that war against the soul, developing the lower
propensities. A diet of flesh meat tends to develop animalism. A development
of animalism lessens spirituality, rendering the mind incapable of
understanding truth.
Counsels on Health (1923), page 575
Cancers, tumors, and all inflammatory diseases are largely caused by
meat-eating.
Testimony Studies on Diet and Foods (1926), page 68
A positive injury is done to the system by continuous meat-eating. There is no excuse for it but a depraved, perverted appetite. You
may ask, would you do away entirely with meat-eating? I answer, it will eventually come to this, but we are not prepared for this step
just now. Meat-eating will eventually be done away. The flesh of animals will no longer compose a part of our diet; and we shall look
upon a butcher's shop with disgust. Again and again I have been shown that God is bringing His people back to His original design,
that is not to subsist upon the flesh of dead animals. He would have us teach people a better way.
Testimony Studies on Diet and Foods (1926), page 69,
Meat eating is doing its work, for the
meat is diseased. We may not long be
able to use even milk.
Testimony Studies on Diet and Foods
(1926), page 120
Vegetables, fruits, and grains should compose
our diet. Not an ounce of flesh-meat should
enter our stomachs. The eating of flesh is
unnatural. We are to return to God's original
purpose in the creation of man.
Testimony Studies on Diet and Foods (1926),
page 142
I have been instructed that flesh-food has a tendency to animalize the nature, to rob men and women of that love and sympathy which
they should feel for every one, and to give the lower passions control over the higher powers of the being. If meat-eating were ever
healthful, it is not safe now. Cancers, tumors, and pulmonary diseases are largely caused by meat-eating. . . .
Testimony Studies on Diet and Foods (1926), page 174
In her closing lines of the six-page communication, she wrote:
You may inquire, "What effect does this have upon you?" Sorrow only, sorrow of soul, but
peace and perfect rest, and trust in Jesus. To vindicate myself, my position, or my mission,
I would not utter ten words. I would not seek to give evidence of my work. "By their fruits ye
shall know them." She added, "We have never made meat eating a test of fellowship,
never."--Letter 14, 1897.
But since the Lord presented before me, in June, 1863, the subject of meat-eating in relation to health, I have left the use of meat.
For a while it was rather difficult to bring my appetite to bread, for which, formerly, I have had but little relish. But by persevering, I
have been able to do this, I have lived for nearly one year without meat. For about six months most of the bread upon our table has
been unleavened cakes, made of unbolted wheat-meal and water, and a very little salt. We use fruits and vegetables liberally. I
have lived for eight months upon two meals a day. I have applied myself to writing the most of the time for above a year. For eight
months have been confined closely to writing. My brain has been constantly taxed, and I have had but little exercise. Yet my health
has never been better than for the past six months. My former faint and dizzy feelings have left me. I have been troubled every
spring with loss of appetite. The last spring I had no trouble in this respect. Our plain food, eaten twice a day, is enjoyed with a keen
relish. We have no meat, cake, or any rich food upon our table. We use no lard but in its place, milk, cream, and some butter. We
have our food prepared with but little salt, and have dispensed with spices of all kinds. We breakfast at seven, and take our dinner
at one. It is seldom I have a faint feeling. My appetite is satisfied. My food is eaten with a greater relish than ever before.
Testimony Studies on Diet and Foods (1926), page 122
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the
earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon
the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
Gen 1:29,30
I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it
had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me: Upon the
which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and
wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise,
Peter; slay and eat. But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time
entered into my mouth. But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed,
that call not thou common. And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into
heaven.
Acts 11:5-10
First of All we would like to say the Bible does not say you can't eat meat. But it does point out God would rather us stick to our
originally planned diet. Which was fruits, vegetables, grains, and nuts with lots and lots of water. As you read in the bible you
he put some rules on it so we don't end up like a child eating what ever he or she wants which would only be junk and end up
with a mouth full of cavities and a nutrient starved body. He didn't want us to eat anything that was unclean. He wanted his
family to eat grade A meat only if we decided vegetables, nuts, fruits and grains weren't good enough for our 3 year old ways.
Grade A meat in God's eyes is not rodents, pigs, possums, dogs, and cats. You might be thinking, whats wrong with eating a
cat? They are clean animals, right? Well Cats eat mice and you wouldn't eat a mouse would you? Well you might ask, whats
wrong with eating a pig? Well What isn't wrong with a pig. :-) They roll in mud/urine/feciese. They also stink very bad and eat
anything. They are one of natures vacuum cleaners along with a vulcher, catfish, rodents, dogs, shrimp, and lobsters just to
name a few. The Bible is very clear on what meat we should eat and even goes as far as to tell us what not to eat if we must put
dead animal flesh in our mouths. If your a parent you know sugar isn't good for your children. But they beg for it and you want
to make them happy so you usually give in and say only a little bit but first you have to eat your dinner. Well God is the same
way. We begged for meat and he finally gave in and said OK but you can only eat this kind of meat and you may not ever eat of
this meat. Your body is the temple of God, so why would you fill it with unclean things such as porn, violence, curse words,
unclean animals like ham, pepperoni, catfish, shrimp, oysters, turtle soup, shark and alligator meat. If your not willing to eat what
your meal ate when it was alive, then you shouldn't eat that animal. Because it ate what you wouldn't eat but in reality your
eating exactly what that animal ate. You wouldn't eat a rotting dead animal but a vulcher and pigs will. So what would possess
you to ignore God's will and eat something that unclean?
We were warned in the mid 1800s by God threw Ellen White that eating any kind of meat in the last days would be harmful to our
health. Even milk, cheese, and eggs wouldn't be safe. Well now we know what God was communicating threw vision to her
about. The food market has become so money driven that they are using chemicals and hormones to help cows produce more
milk, make cows and chickens grow faster and bigger. They even put a chemical on the meat to make it look brighter red which
appeases the eye more. Even fruit and vegetable have chemicals sprayed on them to keep bugs off and to make them look
more eye appealing. But God was more concerned with the unsafe meat and dairy that his children would be eating and not
knowing how bad it was on the body. Even our water has chemicals in it. I wonder how many chemicals the average person
consumes into the body? I read a report on it a few years ago and it was a big number.
Ellen White was a meat lover. When God showed her in vision how bad meat was going to be soon, she had a hard time giving
meat up. And yes she even ate (loved) pig meat before God intervened. This is what she had to say about her struggles in
giving it up.
I was a great lover of animal flesh as food. I wanted fat pork fried for breakfast, boiled meat for dinner, cold slices of ham or beef for
supper. One of my sweetest morsels was bread well soaked in pork gravy.
Gospel of Health, October, 1899 (see also SHM, p. 24).
Watch the movie above. If it doesn't convince you that meat eating is unsafe then read
what Ellen White wrote in the mid 1800s below in blue. God Gave Ellen White a health
message threw vision for his people in the time we are in right now. If you choose to
ignore it, you could be choosing to ignore a prophets reward as well. Jesus said himself:
He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and
he that receiveth a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. Matthew 10:41
Below is what God showed Ellen White in Vision and what God
instructed Sister White to warn his people about in the last days.
For some reason if you think its not that time yet to give up meat, eggs, and dairy then please
read the next 2 statements below.
Hasn't most of this next statement already been fulfilled? Their are people who don't eat meat today and they are atheists,
non-Christians, and all different type who have cut out some meat or all meat. And in most cases its not because of God they do it,
but because of health reasons or cruelty to animal reasons, or other weird religious reasons that have nothing to do with clean or
unclean animals. (Holy animals) If you don't believe me go to McDonalds and look at the vegetarian meals they offer. Actually try to
find a restaurant that doesn't offer some kind of vegetarian meal. In the 1950s-1990s it was really hard to find a meal at a restaurant
that had something for vegetarians.
I want to make this clear. Just because you choose to continue to eat meat of any kind it
doesn't mean you should be kicked out of the Church or dis fellowshipped. If this had
happened to you it is wrong in the eyes of the Lord and in the eyes of the founding members of
the Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
This Page was only designed to open the eyes of those who are to busy to ready Ellen
White's health visions. We hope it inspires you to read them in its entirety so you may
have the Holy Spirit work on your heart. If you want or can't give up meat eating then we
implore you to pray heavily on this subject due to the shortness of time we have on this
Earth. Below is a scripture from the bible that explains what is clean and what is not clean,
what to eat what not to eat. We placed this in the page because we get alot of new
Adventists to this ministry and alot of curious non Adventists.
If you think the Bible text below is God saying its OK to eat any kind of meat you want then please read the whole chapter.
Its God explaining to Peter that its time to go to the gentiles because God does not see them as unclean. Even Peter knows
not to eat unclean animals like pigs. But Peter thought Gentiles were unclean and if God did not show him that vision he
never would have went with the two people who came to ask him if we would preach the gospel to the "unclean" Gentiles.
God's word never changes. Its easier for the stars and heaven to pass away before God's word would pass away. He
didn't say its not OK to eat pig one day then say "you know what guys, eat any kind of nature vacuum cleaner you want. Eat
your own feces if you choose to, because i don't care if your body and blood is unclean/filthy." No if he says no then it
means no. Pray on this subject and email us at BrokenAdventist@live.com if you require more topics on this subject or if we
left out some good quotes or scripture that would really help drive this topic home.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of
all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be
for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing
that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat:
and it was so.
