WHAT YOU NEED TO EAT 2
God gave our
first parents the food he designed that the race should eat. It was contrary to
his plan to have the life of any creature taken. There was to be no death in
Eden. The fruit of the trees in the garden, was the food man's wants required.
God gave man no permission to eat animal food until after the flood. Every
thing had been destroyed upon which man could subsist, and therefore the Lord
in their necessity gave Noah permission to eat of the clean animals which he
had taken with him into the ark. But animal food was not the most healthy
article of food for man.
The people who lived before the flood ate
animal food, and gratified their lusts until their cup of iniquity was full,
and God cleansed the earth of its moral pollution by a flood. Then the third
dreadful curse rested upon the earth. The first curse was pronounced upon the
posterity of Adam and upon the earth, because of disobedience. The second curse
came upon the ground after Cain slew his brother Abel. The third most dreadful
curse from God, came upon the earth at the flood.
