tmommy, a few days ago I remembered this, and wondered:…but why did Jesus eat fish, so much fish? I cannot believe it was just a symbol! not to mention wine….tmommy, after all, I keep on being so confused!! Sorry! Listening to the Gospel of last Sunday made me feeling still confused! It was about Jesus helping His apostles fishing a lot of fish even after His Resurrestion, just as He did before, when He started to collect His apostles.

Tmommy, your words are definitely the most sensible I have ever heard on such subjects! Thanks a lot! However a little doubt remains in me, because what I wonder is why Jesus ate, and let us eat, some foods which are absolutely not considered to be healthy at all, such as grains or others. You and other people, me too, think that we have to listen to our bodies to eat what's best for us, and that's the best way of eating, so, perhaps, saying that a food is absolutely not good for us, is not a good way of reasoning?
Anyway your answer is very satisfiyng for me!

Hi Donata. I'm a Believer as well and believe that, while people ate bread and grains in the Bible, it may not have initially been our Creator's design for people to eat these foods in the state in which they're discussed. I think that Jesus met and continues to meet people where they are, whether we eat veggies, meat, grains, or otherwise. While I agree that the foods we eat greatly affects our health and well being (I eat mostly organic, and about 60% raw, 40% cooked food, with the goal of eating all raw), I don't believe that what we eat, or don't eat, is a matter of character, nor does it determine our relationship with God. In fact, God tells us in the Bible that we are not to call what He says is clean, unclean. I think that, ultimately, we need to listen to our bodies and eat the food that causes us to feel energetic and well, while eliminating those that cause us to feel tired and unwell.

I wish I could help, but I'm not a Christian and I don't know enough about the Bible to help you out. Good luck, though!
