today I discovered a whole new justification for my newest fancy. I was just reading the Word of Wisdom and reviewing it and I found an interesting point that Heavenly Father seems to be directing me to today:
W of W says in D&C 89
10 And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome aherbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man—
11 Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving.
Today the word herb stood out to me. So clicked on herb's cross reference (I know, I'm speed studying the scriptures online) (Hey, it counts!)
Gen. 1: 29.
29 ¶ 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 ameat.
Again speed cross referencing for meat:
Moses 2: 29 (29-30)
29 And I, God, said unto man: Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in the which shall be the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for ameat.
Abr. 4: 29 (29-30)
29 And the Gods said: Behold, we will give them every herb bearing seed that shall come upon the face of all the earth, and every tree which shall have fruit upon it; yea, the fruit of the tree yielding seed to them we will give it; it shall be for their ameat
Three interesting new definitions for Meat in the scriptures,
What da ya think?
______________
Now then, my mind goes to the argument that is typically used to refute the eating of beast or fowl?
D&C 49:
18 And whoso aforbiddeth to babstain from cmeats, that man should not eat the same, is not ordained of God;
MEAT?
and it takes on a whole other meaning for me now.
Again, D&C
And I want to run to the fridge again, fling open the door, embrace my healthfulness and take another slurp of my green smoothie!
YUM!
