Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Some special interest groups have taken it upon themselves to demonize the junk food industry, and burgers, hot dogs, and French fries have often been found guilty in the court of public opinion. But, The Great Physician says it all comes down to the issue of freedom of choice, for Mc-Donald’s and KFC do not stand in their doorways with a baseball bat, to force unwilling customers to consume their various products.
Furthermore, the same God who created apples, pumpkins, and fruit, also created the swine, the oyster, and the mouse, so the choice is ours. It is futile to mount a serious campaign against the companies and industries which produce junk food, for our God-given freedom of choice affords us the privilege of choosing either good or evil.
In other words, we should be left completely free to choose between shrimp and black beans, between salad or french-fries, when we go out dining, for McDonalds, and Walmart are not the problem, the choice is ours. If by the grace of God, we are taken to heaven, to that perfect world, there we will find several items, and products that should never ever be eaten. It all boils down to obedience through choice.
Leviticus 11:10 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. 11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcasses in abomination.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
