Why don't 7th Day Adventists use   pepper in their diet?

Gee, I don't know, but I sure would like to learn. I just thought they were vegetarians.

They follow a set of dietary rules called "The Word of Wisdom" that one of the Founders of the Religion wrote, I think Joseph Smith.\n\nMeat in moderation, no booze, no tobacco, no caffeine - actually good common sense and healthy too.

It is one of G-d's commandments to the Jewish people only. People have found practical (health) reasons to show this is beneficial. But actually, this is not the reason. The reason is that G-d wanted to take eating and food into the realm of holiness - to elevate this basic appetite (physical) and make it holy in the real world. Many of G-d's laws have this purpose - to take basic needs and appetites, and transform them, elevate them, in order to have spiritual holiness in our lives.

You Mother is giving it power by believing it is bad. I am Wiccan and yes pepper can be used it a spell calls for it. But in the mean time she is giving it power my just getting so upset. There is something you can do just to ease her mind and that's to put salt around the home. Salt is pure and some see it as good luck, like when it is spill you throw it over your shoulder.  Tell her that to ease her. She is not nuts. Some old wives tails have meanings. Just keep in mind who has been in your home? I have never heard of that black pepper can do but I have never studied the dark arts just Wicca.  Good luck

My first clue was the errors in the churches teachings of Daniel and the Revelations.  Sunday church attendance is not the mark of the beast.\n\nNext, the legalism of SDA isn't right, and actually undermines Christs teachings.\n\nAlso, E.G. White was not a prophet, although the official church position acknowledges this, most church members still believe it.\n\nHave you ever noticed how 'good' Adventists choose careers that allow them to justify working on the Sabbath?\n\nThere is more...

Some Buddhists in China and Vietnam also avoid eating strong-smelling plants such as onion, garlic, chives, shallot, and leek, and refer to these as wu hun (五葷, 'Five Spices'). One theory behind this Buddhist dietary restriction is that these vegetables have strong flavours which are supposed to excite the senses and, thus, represent a burden to Buddhists seeking to control their desires. Another theory is that these are all root crops, and harvesting them requires killing organisms in the soil.\n\ngood question aaron!

Hope I'm not out of topic but I joined the Seventh Day Adventist a few months ago.  I believe they observe and follow the bible and teachings of Jesus a lot closer than most denominations do. The Seventh Day Adventist keeps all the commandments including the four one(which alot of denominations ignore) and abstaining from pork and other unclean animals.  So far I am happy being a Seventh Day Adventist and so far I havent seen any major flaws in their doctrine.  I'm on my way to Sabbath School now but I'll definately check out that link to the former Adventist Yahoo group when I get back and view some of the opinions on there.  May God Bless.

People are allergic to pollen, pet dander, and foods of all types. That statement would mean that God did not want people to eat, have pets, or go into the sun. Think about it.

Do you recall the Marijuana plants in the garden of Eden? I didnt think so...and if you think we should eat every plant that exist in the world today how about a hemlock brownie?...a little Hemlock and your going to be dead or in the hospital. the verse you speak of was in Genisis at the start of creation when Adam and Eve were In Eden and were told the could eat of any tree in the garden except the tree in the midst of the garden....they were kicked out of Eden...and all plants are not healthy here.

"No pepper" means that you can't practice on the sides of the field. Players used to be able to softly toss pitches and softly hit the ball back to the pitcher on the side of the field. Pepper was a small informal game that 2-3 players could do on the side to keep themselves occupied before a game or during practice.\n\nBut certain people felt it became too distracting and people were getting hurt because they were doing it during regular batting practice when balls were flying all over the field; and some people were getting struck by foul balls, etc. \n\nAnd with our ever-increasing litigious society, I'm sure there's a legal element involved in avoiding injury for insurance reasons. Hope this helps!

The ingredients you find to rationalize your disbelief amuses me! Come on, dude, FLEAS!!!LOL that is your way of proving their's no God!? Weak proof at best. You should go back to the guy who put that into your head and slap him!!!LOL( just kidding, don't do that!) Appendectomies, right? Well I don't remember any of God's prophets killed from a lack of appendix surgeries! Yet God has always healed HIS CHILDREN who love Him. God uses such problems as the appendix to judge grown ups,yet things go wrong, and little children die, but isn't it better that they don't have to go on in this world but rather in a perfect world with their Father? Ohh yea, you believe that's it for the child, no chance, no hope, no love. Your beliefs sentence those children to nothingness and loss. Is that right? The "beef" as you say is in the Bible and you're starving yourself trying to devour the scraps dropped from Darwin's table. But his table is empty by Darwin's own admission. Darwin said "If one could prove that single-celled organisms can split then I am wrong." (I'm paraphrasing) And they can split as your precious science has proven. So why do scientists continue to back Darwin's THEORY? Because they would rather back a lie that they discovered rather than the truth that makes them useless. I'll tell you another miracle of God, friend. The miracle of God changing your heart, and that's the one that's harder than any other, but IT CAN HAPPEN if you'd let it.

I've read and heard from Biology teachers who believe that the appendix is the reminant of the cecum, an organ that herbivores have. The cecum is used in herbivores to produces substances that are able to digest the cellulose in plants which are extremely difficult to break due to their strong bonds. However, since humans due eat plants, the validity of this hypothesis hasnt been tested, but since a cecum reminent has not been found otherwise, this is the strongest theory.\n\nAs for god creating an appendix, I'm not too sure about that. I have felt that god may have been the spark that sparked all forces such as gravity and evolution and he no longer tinkers with these forces. \n\nSo yes I am suggesting that evolution created the appendix and that evolution is possibly a part of god.

Using it as an ingredient in an anointing oil is a little different from rolling it up and lighting it and then smoking it. I hardly think that should cause a huge outcry amonst Christians. It was put here by God and therefore had to have an obvious purpose. Native Americans used all parts of the plant for different things over the years as well. That doesn't mean I would consider them Stoners. In the context for which it was used, Simply agree and say yes that is true, however that does not mean it was ever meant to be used as a drug for getting high.

I cannot believe how unbelievably ignorant all the so-called christians are in this world. Look, I'm a Buddhist, and I know more about their religions origins than they do. Thats just sad. The reason I bring this up is because I know for a fact that Jesus Christ himself used the marijuana plant and all of these "nope to dope" christians have no idea!\n\nChrist was not Jesus' name as some people believe. The title Christ comes from the greek word meaning "Messiah" or "Anointed One". What happened back in those days, the Hebrew people used a special oil to anoint their Priests and Kings. You could not use the title of Messiah unless you had been anointed in this oil. The oil was made from many herbs and spices including over nine pounds of flowering cannabis tops (cannabis is the technical name of the marijuana plant in case you didnt know). When Jesus was anointed by John the Baptist, he had a hallucination, or what he called a "vision" due to the effects of the oil. From that point on, Jesus considered himself enlightened, and used the oil and the herb freely in iniation and healing rites. \n\nThis is all written in the Bible and in ancient Hebrew texts. I'm not making it up. Jesus would probably encourage most people to use pot. Its completely harmless and if you believe what Jesus believed, it will help you get closer to God. And yes, its only about money. Youre right. No-one cares about truth anymore. But yes, it should be legalized. \n\n\nPeace
