Date: May 18, 2007 08:34AM Hello folks,
Have you read the story of Daniel in Babylon (530 BC) in the Bible? It is in the first Chapter of Daniel. 1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. 2 And the Lord delivered Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, along with some of the articles from the temple of God. These he carried off to the temple of his god in Babylonia [a] and put in the treasure house of his god. 3 Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, chief of his court officials, to bring in some of the Israelites from the royal family and the nobility- 4 young men without any physical defect, handsome, showing aptitude for every kind of learning, well informed, quick to understand, and qualified to serve in the king's palace. He was to teach them the language and literature of the Babylonians. 5 The king assigned them a daily amount of food and wine from the king's table. They were to be trained for three years, and after that they were to enter the king's service. 6 Among these were some from Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. 7 The chief official gave them new names: to Daniel, the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego. 8 But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way. 9 Now God had caused the official to show favor and sympathy to Daniel, 10 but the official told Daniel, 'I am afraid of my lord the king, who has assigned your [c] food and drink. Why should he see you looking worse than the other young men your age? The king would then have my head because of you.' 11 Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, 12 'Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.' 14 So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days. 15 At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. 16 So the guard took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead. 17 To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds. 18 At the end of the time set by the King to bring them in, the chief official presented them to Nebuchadnezzar. 19 The king talked with them, and he found none equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah; so they entered the king's service. 20 In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king questioned them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his whole kingdom.

Thanks for sharing. I guess I missed that part when I read parts of the Old Testament. Hope, Read the Essene Gospel of Peace: [www.thenazareneway.com] They are part of the Lost Books of the Bible. They were removed by the Vatican along with other holy works, like the Gospel of Thomas. Regards, Therese Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/19/2007 06:54PM by life101. Re: Raw Foodist in the Bible

SOme guy translated the teachings of Jesus from aramaic and he, jesus was promoting live food and also, : "our father who art in heaven,," continues on with " Our mother, who art on earth.." you can find all this online Re: Raw Foodist in the Bible

Date: May 21, 2007 08:36PM Also in Daniel is the story of Nebuchadnezzar who went out to the wilderness and ate wild grasses until he could see and talk to God.
Some of the young succulent wild grasses sprouting up in the spring are very good tasting and very nutritious. The Mountain Brome that sprouts up just after the snow melts in the high Sierra is mouth wateringly tasty. Of course Adam and Eve were live food fruitarians eating from the Tree of Life until the curse was cast (Genesis 3). And it wasn't till the curse was removed in Revelation 23 that the Tree of Life and a fruit diet was reestablished. Re: Raw Foodist in the Bible
