And all other diseases are the result of ignoring natural law for many generations. Such treatment has the effect of breaking down the body’s own immune system which is designed to combat intruding diseases.
This tract is not an advertisement for any patent medicines. It is issued free of charge in the interests of the preservation of human health and happiness.
Correct environment, diet, work, sleeping habits, sexual habits, and even our thought patterns play an important role in promoting our health and happiness.
God’s Natural Laws can not be broken without suffering the consequences. It is just that simple. If a person puts his hand in the fire he must expect to suffer from a burn. Parents usually teach their young children this principle to save them from unnecessary suffering. Our Creator loves His creatures so much that He has given us a guide Book, the Holy Bible, outlining Laws for our safety and happiness. He wants us to be happy and healthy. These Laws are positive because if we live in harmony with them, we will receive the blessings they were designed to impart.
All good laws do present some inhibitions, but nothing that is for our well being is ever held back from us. Adam and Eve learned this lesson the hard way much to their sorrow.
The Moral Law (the Ten Commandments) has a positive affect for good upon the health of the mind, body and the morals of those who live in harmony with their principles. Sin always causes unhappiness and suffering.
God placed human beings in a garden environment because He knew that this would bring them more happiness, development and true education, and would sustain their health. Living and working amongst God’s created works gave them an opportunity to have a continual communion with their Creator. It was after sin entered that rebellious people congregated in cities.
The Book of books — the Holy Bible — is God’s guide book —or manual— for mankind that they may learn from their Creator, the things that will ensure their salvation from sin and its consequences. It also teaches them the correct food to eat; how to manage their land so that it will produce healthy life-giving crops which would impart vitality to both mind and body. To pray to God for healing while we are rejecting God’s laws of life, is being presumptuous. Our faith must be demonstrated by our works in order to receive the blessing of the Holy Spirit’s healing power. Similarly, it is presumption to pray for salvation while we continue to knowingly violate God’s Moral Law --The Ten Commandments.
Psalms 19:13 “Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.”
Matt. 12:31 “Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy [against] the [Holy] Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.” — comment: This is apparently the great transgression of which David wrote in Psalm 19:13
The seventh day Sabbath was instituted as a Memorial of God’s work of Creation. It was to be used as a day of rest from the weekly labour of the first six days, and to worship and commune with the Creator. One result from obeying the fourth Commandment (as well as the other nine) was to re-charge the vitality of every organ of the body, which in turn would strengthen the immune system which is the best weapon for combating every kind of disease.
If Adam and Eve (and all their offspring) had always remained obedient to their loving Creator’s laws of life, sickness would Never have been known!.
Reason tells us that the best way to regain health is to quit doing things that bring sickness, and abide by the rules (laws) of life which impart health. One does not have to be a scientist or doctor of medicine to understand this! This is not meant to imply that man will never die, as it must be remembered that when man sinned, he forfeited the right to eat of the tree of life. Even so, good health can be expected by following God’s plan, and ultimately eternal life is promised to those who accept the Gospel and keep the commandments of God.
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Revelation 22:14-15 Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without [are] dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Some may say that this is impossible because they have no will power to change their habits of living. The only answer to this dilemma is to be found in the overcoming power which the Gospel of Jesus Christ freely offers to all. —A short tract dealing with this topic from the Bible is available upon request.
Man’s Original Environment
Gen. 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Man’s Original Diet
Mankind’s original diet was totally vegetarian — after sin entered, herbs of the field were used as well as fruit. —after the flood some flesh was permitted until vegetation again flourished — flesh eating shortened the life span of humans dramatically.
Genesis 1:29 “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 meat.”
Genesis 2:9 “And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.”
Genesis 2:16 “And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:”
Genesis 2:17 “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”
Genesis 3:1 “Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”
Genesis 3:2 “And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:”
Genesis 3:3 “But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.”
Genesis 3:4 “And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:”
Genesis 3:5 “For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."
Comment 1: Surely all would agree that we would have been better off without the knowledge of evil!
Comment 2: Satan’s “Great Lie” in telling Eve that even if she disobeyed God she would not die, has been and is being perpetuated by Satan’s agents to-day who claim that the soul of man is immortal. God said “The soul that sinneth, it shall die.” Ezekiel 18:4, 20.
Ecclesiastes 9:5 “For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.”
Psalms 146:4 "His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish."
Will we be like Eve and rebel against God’s word, or will we recognise Satan’s sophistries and stand firm for God’s Truth?
Genesis 3:6 "And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Genesis 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they [were] naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Genesis 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
Genesis 3:9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where [art] thou?
Genesis 3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I [was] naked; and I hid myself.
Genesis 3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou [wast] naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
Genesis 3:12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest [to be] with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat."
Genesis 3:17 "And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed [is] the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of thy life;"
Herb of the Field Added to Man’s Diet After Sinning
Genesis 3:18 "Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou [art], and unto dust shalt thou return."
Gen. 6:21,22 "And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather [it] to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he."
Genesis 7:1-3 "And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that [are] not clean by two, the male and his female. Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth."
Restricted Eating of Flesh Allowed After Flood.
Leviticus 3:17 "[It shall be] a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood." see Genesis 9:3-5
Leviticus chapter 11 lists the clean and unclean animals, fish, birds and creeping things.
Leviticus chapter 12,18,19,20; deals with moral and sexual laws which are very important for health and happiness.
Exodus 15:26 "And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I [am] the LORD that healeth thee."
Isaiah 58:7 [Is it] not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
Isaiah 58:8 "Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
Isaiah 58:9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I [am]. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
Isaiah 58:10 And [if] thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness [be] as the noon day:
Isaiah 58:11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
Isaiah 58:12 And [they that shall be] of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
Isaiah 58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, [from] doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [thine own] words:
Isaiah 58:14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it]."
