Make Obesity Great Again?

The cesspool that is the new San Francisco, Californication wants all its citizens to feel comfortable with their weight ──

Fat-Shaming ‘Expert’ Goes To Work For San Francisco. Her Mission? Make Obesity Great Again

In the lovely cesspool of San Francisco, it’s time to Make Obesity Great Again.

Never mind the poop and dirty drug needles littering the streets; the San Francisco Department of Health seems to want fat citizens to feel comfortable in their own bodies, to feel accepted by society, to feel like they can live their truth without any fear of judgment. To do so, they apparently hired a fat-shaming expert to work as a consultant — two labels that should send chills down your spine — on “weight stigma” and “weight neutrality” — two buzz phrases as hollow as they are silly.

Virgie Tovar, a self-described “plus-size Latina” and “leading expert on weight-based discrimination,” announced Monday she will work with the city’s health department to achieve the aforementioned “weight neutrality,” which, in my estimation, entails yet another feckless waste of taxpayer dollars for some unbelievably stupid liberal theory.

“I’m UNBELIEVABLY proud to serve the city I’ve called home for almost 20 years in this way! This consultancy is an absolute dream come true, and it’s my biggest hope and belief that weight neutrality will be the future of public health,” Tovar wrote on Instagram.

With all due respect to my weight-challenged brothers and sisters in America, you have no business eating up taxpayer dollars working for the city health department to “make weight neutrality … the future of health.” On its face, it is an absurd notion.”

San Francisco Health Department hires ‘fat positivity’ expert to consult on ‘weight stigma and neutrality’

The San Francisco Department of Public Health has hired a self-described “anti-weight-based discrimination” expert to consult on “weight stigma and weight neutrality.” …

Tovar's website lists her as a “plus-size Latina author, lecturer, and leading expert on weight-based discrimination and body positivity with over a decade of experience.” She is a contributor for Forbes, where she covers stories on the “plus size market.” Her most recent articles include features about hosting a “size inclusive” Thanksgiving and alleged “fatphobia” in current TV shows.”

Without getting too political, (and let us all pray that President Donald Trump’s new health secretary will be able to make some headway towards a healthier Western society!) it’s tough because of the gauntlet of influences in our societies towards an unhealthy lifestyle to maintain a healthy weight.

Any obesity promoter should be ashamed of themselves!

I have had over 4 decades of faith-based discrimination, does this make me an “expert” in discrimination?

We should NEVER go about making light or fun of people who are obese or even morbidly obese ── we should also NOT EVER encourage anyone to just accept their unhealthy weight and lifestyle.

Always remember that when you point your finger at someone, three fingers are pointing back at yourself.

Whether someone wants to argue this fact or not ── obesity is unhealthy. Especially, class III obesity (Formerly Known as Morbid Obesity)! 1

Some insist on "health at any size." But, isn't obesity and health an oxymoron? 

God’s living and immutable word tells us to eat what is good ──

“’ Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? LISTEN CAREFULLY TO ME, and eat what is good, …’” – Isaiah 55:2.

A large part of the problem is that in our Western societies (and even those of North America, Western Europe, India, China, and Japan) our peoples don’t know what is “good” to eat.

As we get ever closer to the end of this present evil age, extremely overweight people appear to be consistent with the following prophecy from our beloved minister to the Gentiles, teacher, mentor ── and prophet, the apostle Paul ──

“But know this, that IN THE LAST DAYS perilous times will come: 2) For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3) unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, WITHOUT SELF-CONTROL, brutal, despisers of good, 4) traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5) having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” – 2 Timothy 3:1-5.

Besides any health issue, e.g. an underactive thyroid, a lack of self-control is certainly a contributing factor in obesity.

According to the Health Policy Institute, “Obesity rates for older adults may be even higher in the future. Since 1991, rates of obesity have increased dramati-cally. Substantial increases among adults of all ages suggest that obesity among older Americans is likely to become a greater problem in the future. Among the obese population age 51 and older, a disproportionate share — three-quarters — are age 51 to 69, yet this age group comprises only two-thirds of the general pop-ulation age 51 and older.” 2

Sadly this new “Woke Ideology” that has spread like a cancer around the globe ── and a definition of “woke” is ever-changing depending on what side of the fence you’re standing on at any given time ── truly wants to try and force you to believe that what is “bad” (defined by the LORD God) is now “good.”

God’s living word WARNS us ──

“’ WOE TO THOSE WHO CALL EVIL GOOD, AND GOOD EVIL; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21) WOE to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight!’” – Isaiah 5:20-21.

Truly, it is evil to tell anyone that it is perfectly alright to be obese! That certainly is “bearing false witness against your neighbor” ── which is breaking the Commandments of the Eternal our God!

Although, sadly, the overall majority of self-proclaiming Christians were taught to just “come as you are,” what our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ truly says is ──

“’ The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. REPENT, and believe in [as well as “on”] the gospel.’” – Mark 1:14-15.

And the very word “repent” means CHANGE!

True──God our Father calls out of this world the foolish, the weak, the base, and those that are despised (1 Corinthians 1:26-31; 2:5), but He certainly doesn’t want us to stay that way. He expects us to prosper after we obey. He expects us to change our way── which includes a proclivity to being lazy, or having a lack of self-control when it comes to overeating.

Obesity is not only terribly unhealthy for a person, it’s also bad for society.

“A recent report released by the Milken Institute shows that the annual cost and the economic impact of obesity in the United States exceeds $1.4 trillion. This number includes costs associated with obesity treatment and obesity-related conditions and costs associated with attendance and productivity at work as they relate to obesity. The report also suggests how obesity can be addressed to combat its growing health and economic impact. Read the full report from the Milken Institute.” 3

God’s living word teaches against obesity ── notice these valuable passages ──

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things, AND BE IN HEALTH, just as your soul prospers.” – 3 John 1:2.

“For BODILY EXERCISE profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 9) This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance.” – 1 Timothy 4:8-9.

The LORD God does focus more on our spiritual health within the pages of His living word ── and we certainly need to be strong in spiritual health ── but we also need to glorify the LORD God through our physical health as well. God’s living word shows us how we should treat our bodies in the Way that the LORD God intends.

“My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands; 2) For length of days and long life … 8) It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.” – Proverbs 3:1, 2, 8.

What is the definition of obesity?

According to Wikipedia – “Obesity is a medical condition, sometimes considered a disease, in which excess body fat has accumulated to such an extent that it can potentially have negative effects on health.” 4

God’s living word also warns us of gluttony ──

“Do not mix with winebibbers, Or with gluttonous eaters of meat; 21) For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, …” – Proverbs 23:20, 21.

Yes. OVERCOMING TEMPTATIONS and ADDICTIONS, i.e. overeating can be difficult ── and seemingly impossible. True Christians should know and believe the following ──

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6) In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” – Proverbs 3:5-6.

“’ Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.’” – John 14:1.

With fervent and never-ending prayer and trusting always in the LORD God, overcoming addictions can happen ── including maintaining a healthier lifestyle and losing weight (if needed). □

The Many Abominations Mankind Continues to Embrace

 by Guy LaMar

THE 4th Commandment of the LORD God (the family of God, which at this time consists of God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ!) to all of MANKIND is to KEEP the Sabbath holy and to REMEMBER that the holy Sabbath also pictures the SEVEN-THOUSAND YEAR PLAN for the redemption of all mankind!

Keep in mind, Exodus 20:10── “But the seventh day is the Sabbath to the LORD your God.” It is the SEVENTH DAY.

Yet, the overall majority of mankind has chosen to forget the LORD God’s 4th commandment!

They would much rather follow the ideologies of mankind──that were originally put in place by Satan the Devil.

Satan is the Great Deceiver. He is the deceiver of the whole world! And, at some point or another in life, all humanity has been deceived by Satan the Devil – cf. 2 Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 12:9.

But by the loving grace of God, a very select few have been called out of this present evil age──this modern Babylonian world system to embrace the TRUTH OF GOD!

All of mankind has taken it upon themselves to choose what day they want to rest instead of what the LORD God says.

Truly, it was the Roman Catholic Church in the second and third centuries that devised the idea of keeping the FIRST DAY of the week instead of the SEVENTH DAY as the LORD God commands.

All the “daughter” churches that came out of the Roman Catholic Church have held on to the doctrine of that Mother Church. Their doctrine of keeping SUNDAY, over the holy Sabbath──the SEVENTH DAY.

Sadly, mankind would rather believe the lie that was indoctrinated into them since childbirth than accept the living truth of the LORD God.

The truth is the HOLY BIBLE!

Yet, servants of Satan the Devil are far more in abundance upon the Earth within false Christianity.

And, Sunday keepers are preaching a false Christ. Thus, they are the churches of an antichrist.

Truly, our Lord Jesus Christ was and is the God that created the Ten Commandments! The very God that instituted the holy Sabbath, and yet foolish and willingly ignorant people continue to accept and believe the lie of Satan the Devil over the TRUTH of God Almighty through the living Word of God──which again is the Holy Bible!

In this present evil age of short attention spans──it is highly unlikely that anyone of the world will ever take the time to truly seek the TRUTH. Instead, they are far more likely to continue embracing their feel-good and fluffy religion over the boldness and truth of the LORD God.

Such as the many abominations they continue to embrace: the consumption of pork.

Mankind continues to twist Scripture to make Scripture say something that it DOES NOT say! So that they can hear whatever their itching ears want – cf. 2 Timothy 4:3.

In reality, all they are doing is proving themselves to be even more boastful and proud servants of Satan the Devil.

They delude themselves that they are servants of God──while in reality they are but servants of Satan the Devil. Sadly, such people are living a lie.

Even the novel biblical readers should know that eating any flesh that is forbidden by the LORD God is also idolatry. And it is not──I repeat, IT IS NOT──talking about the LORD God doing away with Their dietary Law so that you can eat like scavengers!

Truly, if you closely PAY ATTENTION to the people who throughout their lifetime consume the LORD God’s forbidden meats, they eventually end up with severe health issues, i.e. arterial plaque buildup, obesity, gastrointestinal diseases, trichinosis, etc. Living a life contrary to our CREATOR GOD equals DEATH – cf. 1 Corinthians 11:30; Revelation 20:15; 21:8.

Also, the abomination of marking their bodies: tattoos. The LORD God tells us, “’ You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the LORD.’” – Leviticus 19:28.

If one does just a little research concerning tattoos they will discover that it is an old pagan practice. So, when a person gets a tattoo they are going against the commandment of the LORD God──and ignorantly following and honoring Satan the Devil. It is a form of pride──which the LORD God hates!

Also, people will tell a “little white lie” and believe that it is all right to do so. Yet, the LORD God says NOT TO──cf. Leviticus 19:11.

Yet, a great many people say that “little white lies” is a well-intentioned untruth. Deliberate and harmless fib, often done to spare someone’s feelings and to do no harm ── its intention is to produce favorable results. – Dr. Julia Breur.

AGAIN, the majority of mankind is ignorantly following Satan the Devil.

Also, having sexual relations outside of marriage. They can use all the excuses they want under the sun, but in reality, they are a WHOREMONGER──which disqualifies them from entering into the glorious Kingdom of God.

Those who knowingly cater to sin (1 John 3:4) ── like it or not ── are servants of Satan the Devil.

How many people have truly and honestly DENIED THEMSELVES and became OBEDIENT TO THE WILL OF THE LORD GOD!? Yet, they claim to be a true Christian!

CHRISTIAN literally means a follower of Jesus Christ. And our Lord Jesus was literally God in the flesh – cf. John 1:1, 14.

And what made our Lord Jesus “perfect”!?

He kept the Law of God perfectly, giving us an example of how to keep the Law of God perfectly – cf. Matthew 5:17-18; John 13:15.

Does the overall majority of mankind do this!?

Absolutely and positively──no.

“’ For many are called, …’” There are people who are reading this that ARE BEING CALLED──but will you choose to change your life to the will of God!? – Matthew 22:14.

Sadly, the many will not.

“ …’ but few are chosen.’” Only a small group of people on this Earth will bend a knee to the will of the LORD God completely──without any reservations or questions.

Only those few will completely reject this world’s ways and lifestyles that are before them.

The apostle Paul ── under divine inspiration of the Spirit of God ── said, “do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” – Romans 12:2.

Our Lord Jesus tells us, “’ If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.’” – John 13:8. And, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If ANYONE loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” – 1 John 2:15.

Sadly, this world’s Christianity is a false Christianity. And our Lord Jesus says, “’ I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews [meaning, chosen people] are not, but lie──indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.’” – Revelation 3:9.

People can do “righteous” and pious things all day long──and still──as our Lord Jesus says, “’ in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’” – Matthew 15:9.

Truly, unless you properly repent, and believe in (and obey, I add editorially) in the gospel, you have no part with the LORD God.

Now, of course, we all make mistakes. However, if you want to change your ways──then you must properly REPENT. And REPENTANCE IS CAHANGE! Changing from your ways and the way of this world to the Way of JESUS CHRIST!

So, friends, from FRIDAY sunset to SATURDAY sunset is holy time. It is the Sabbath of the Lord. He instituted it Himself! And it is a perpetual covenant between the LORD God and Their people for all ages.

Also, the false doctrine of “going to heaven” or “going to hell” after death. If all people would only take time to read and study these two subjects they would truly come to see the living TRUTH OF GOD. But sadly, mankind continues to want to hear what their itching ears want──they do not want anything to bust their religious bubble.

“YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!”

Mankind actually DOESN’T WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH! “and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to FABLES.” – 2 Timothy 4:4. The concept of “going to hell” is from Dante Alighieri’s 14th-century narrative poem The Divine Comedy──a.k.a. “Dante's Inferno.” A FABLE!

All mankind is born into a world with its own ideas──born into a ready-made world with ready-made ideologies, made by Satan the Devil, who is the “god of this age” – 2 Corinthians 4:4.

This means that Satan the Devil has rulership over this present evil age, and has great spiritual influence over all mankind.

God’s living word is clear──” Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.” – Isaiah 55:6-7.

Otherwise, the great regret awaits you. □

An Abomination to Eat Pork!

pixabay/aitoff

by Guy C. LaMar

The LORD God (the family of God, which at this time consists of God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ) emphatically tells us that it is an abomination to eat pork.

The consumption of a pig is an act of rebellion AGAINST the LORD God!

Now, that is not just my opinion, that’s not just my take on things──that is the living word of God. The instruction of the Lord our God.

But, sadly, our peoples of this present evil age would rather fulfill their own lusts and desires than obey the commands of the LORD God.

It’s the same as homosexuals, they justify their homosexuality by telling themselves “no one can judge me, except God.” They substitute their satanic lusts for what they call love.

Folks, here’s the deal──absolutely NO ONE under heaven has a true connection with the LORD God unless they are obedient to the LORD God! And this truth is found from Genesis to Revelation in God’s living word.

Unfortunately, this world is filled with Satan-influenced and Satan-led people, and they aren’t even aware of it. They claim that God and them “have a connection.”

Yet, God’s living word──the Holy Bible──completely debunks that.

Indeed, it is truth that the LORD God is no respecter of persons. However, your opinion to the LORD God does not matter. The LORD God’s Way has been established since time immemorial──before the foundation of the world.

The LORD God’s Way is perfect.

All throughout God’s living word, the LORD God instructs us not to consume swine – which is a pig.

Anyone who is “cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars” ── and yes, all who partake in the consumption of pork (cf. Isaiah 66:17) is committing an abomination in the eyes of God ── which means that without heartfelt repentance they will “have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” – Revelation 21:8.

So, if you want to do something that makes the LORD God hate what you do──then, by all means, do those abominable acts.

No matter how hard one tries, no one can justify sin.

It continues that people try to pervert and twist Scripture so that they can justify their acts.

In 1st Corinthians 10, the apostle Paul speaks about “All things are lawful for me” (NKJV). What did he mean? Are all things permissible for a true Christian? Can we do anything we want? Here is the whole verse –

“All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify” (NASB).

Brethren, freedom in our Lord Jesus Christ is truth that the apostle Paul constantly emphasizes. As in, “So Christ has made us free. Now make sure that you stay free and don’t get all tied up again in the chains of slavery to Jewish laws and ceremonies. … For, dear brothers, you have been given freedom: NOT FREEDOM TO DO WRONG, but freedom to love and serve each other” – Galatians 5:1, 13, NLT. We are “not under the law, but under grace” – Romans 6:14. The apostle Paul makes it clear that “we have been delivered from the law [the Mosaic law], having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter” – Romans 7:6.

There in ancient Corinth──as a great many people are today──they were saying, “All things are lawful for me,” repeating this mantra to cover their sinful behavior. In my New International Version, there are even quotation marks to truly bring out the understanding that it was the Corinthians that was saying this: “’ Everything is permissible’” ──but not everything is beneficial. ‘Everything is permissible’──but not everything is constructive” – 1 Corinthians 10:23, NIV.

GRACE is not a license to sin. True Christians are not to live as if “I have the right to do anything.” The LORD God’s living word makes it crystal clear that freedom in Christ does not equate to freedom to sin.

In the Appendix of The Holy Bible In Its Original Order by Fred R. Coulter, he says, “Contrary to the belief of many professing Christians, the New Testament does not nullify God’s laws of clean and unclean meats. … The apostle Paul upheld the laws of clean and unclean meats as a requirement for Christians. He described the meats that Christians are permitted to eat as those “meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, even by those who know the truth [the Word of God is Truth──John 17:17]” (I Tim. 4:3). Paul was clearly showing that some meats were created to be eaten, and others were not created to be eaten. Paul continued, “For every creature of God that He designated for human consumption is good, and nothing to be refused, if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is sanctified [set apart] by the Word of God [as revealed in the Scriptures] and prayer” (verse 4).” 1

Anyone who is truly obeying the LORD God──from the beginning until now──would not dare partake in the consumption of pork! It is just pure Common Sense 101. 2

Yet, there are multiple billions of people claiming to be Christian who will not acknowledge the fact that “Christian” means a follower of Jesus Christ.

And, our Lord Jesus Christ was and is the God of the Old Testament – cf. John 1:1-3, 14.

Absolutely the Lord Jesus did not consume pig. In fact, He makes several references to this disgusting creature that is a pig. When our Lord Jesus encountered a couple of demon-possessed men in the countryside of Gergesenes, He cast them out into a herd of swine. It was fitting that these demons would be cast into creatures that are “disgusting.” To note: “As a General Rule, a pig will eat anything, which means it eats unsavory things such as dead animals, rotting garbage, and even human feces.” 3

Sadly, our peoples defile their own flesh when they go against the LORD God and consume pork. And even more so──when they are taught and shown from God’s living word His truth, and they continue in their refusal to accept this truth. Because they want to continue in their lusts and desires.

It’s their lust in the heart to continue in their rebellion against the LORD God, justifying their sins. They continue to interpret God’s living word to fit their lifestyles.

I have been through these many years teaching and showing God’s living truth concerning this vital subject. I have great sadness in watching our peoples continue their refusal of God’s TRUTH all because it will cause them to change their lifestyles.

Note:

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Are You of God, or the god of this world?

Pork──is it a Sin to Eat?

Is God’s Biblical Food Laws Still In Effect?

It certainly shows that TRUE REPENTANCE is something they have no understanding of.

God’s living word shows us that unless you have truly repented from your past sins──which is the breaking of God’s holy and righteous Law (1 John 3:4) ──and indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you, then you are not His (Romans 8:9-11).

Yet, the peoples of this present evil age, who proclaim to be Christian and are not led by the Spirit of God, are just that──of the world.

2nd Corinthians 4:4 – shows us that the minds of the majority are blinded by the “god of this age” ── Satan the Devil.

Yes. Friends, such people, in reality, have substituted the Almighty and Eternal God with the “god of this age”!

Truly, every time a person partakes in the consumption of pork, they are pleasing the evil one──and it is displeasing to our CREATOR GOD.

Whether one realizes it or not, when peoples partake in the consumption of pork they become servants of Satan the Devil──because they’re serving his pleasure in furthering their destruction. □
