The Health/Temperance Message

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Corinthians 6:19,20 "We are not our own....If we could understand this, and fully realize it, we would feel a great responsibility resting upon us to keep ourselves in the very best condition of health, that we might render to God perfect service." Testimonies for the Church vol. 2 p.354 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31 "You have to suffer the penalty of nature's violated laws. God has established laws in your system which you cannot violate without suffering the punishment." Testimonies for the Church vol. 2, p.68 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1 "God requires all men to render their bodies to Him a living sacrifice, not a dead or dying sacrifice, a sacrifice which their own corse of action is debilitating, filling with impurities and disease." Testimonies for the Church vol.2, p.70

@ And to godliness brotherly kindness;

@and to brotherly kindness charity. 2 Peter 1:5-7 "You should study temperance in all things....And yet you say: 'It's nobody's business what I eat, or what I drink, or what I place upon my table'. It is somebody's business, unless you take your children and shut them up, or go into the wilderness where you will not be a burden upon others,...." Testimonies for the Church vol.2, p.362
