Nothing outside a man can make him \u2018unclean\u2019 by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him \u2018unclean.\u2019\u201d After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable. \u201cAre you so dull?\u201d he asked. \u201cDon\u2019t you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him \u2018unclean\u2019? For it doesn\u2019t go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body.\u201d In saying this, Jesus declared all foods \u201cclean.\u201d He went on: \u201cWhat comes out of a man is what makes him \u2018unclean.\u2019 For from within, out of men\u2019s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man \u2018unclean.\u2019\u201d Mark 7:14-23<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So Jesus taught us that it is not the food that defiles us, but rather the attitudes and thoughts that we have in our hearts and in our minds that will corrupt and destroy us. It is the greed in our hearts that leads to overeating and overdrinking. Greed is idolatry, it says in Ephesians 5:3-5:<\/p>\n<p><em>But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God\u2019s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person\u2014such a man is an idolater\u2014 has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Read more in <a href=\"http:\/\/store.weighdown.com\/Weigh-Down-Works-P3296.aspx\">Weigh Down Works!\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>God does not want us to worry about the food\u2019s content: Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, \u201cListen to me, everyone, and understand<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[175,176,247,444,452,460],"class_list":["post-3353","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-how-to-lose-weight","tag-gwen-lara","tag-gwen-shamblin","tag-how-to-lose-weight","tag-weigh-down","tag-weight-loss","tag-weight-loss-inspiration"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
