What does food have to do with faith? Apparently a lot. Paul told Timothy that in the last days, people would depart from the faith and listen to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons. What would those doctrines be?
1. Forbidding to marry
2. Abstaining from certain foods
Paul then goes on to say that every created thing is good and nothing should be refused. He said it’s sanctified (separated from profane things and dedicated to God) by prayer and thanksgiving. This is why we pray and bless our food. I mean…really pray and bless. Not a perfunctory prayer at the table.
So where do our doctrines about food come from? Either the Word of God…or demons. We should examine what we believe.
