Lester Roloff error

Never had heard of him, what church was he based with?

 

Independent Baptist, longtime pastor of People’s Baptist Church in Corpus Christi, Texas. He was educated at Baylor and Southwestern. Left the SBC in the 1950s.

No.

 

I don't agree with the idea that the dietary laws still hold. Peter's vision is clear.

However, I do agree that 99% of the illnesses we have today is because we are eating food that is not produced, and grown in God's way. So I'd say Bro. Lester ain't far off the trail.

We produce our food man's way instead of God's and then are surprised when the environment is wrecked, dead zones in the oceans show up, and our soil gets depleted.

We put hogs that God made to root and clear land into concrete slabs and feed them food whose genes have been modified unnaturally. We fed cows (herbivores) meat in the form of other ground up cows and then have the gall to act surprised when Mad Cow disease breaks out. When man violates God's Natural Laws, you get health issues. That's what drove me to farm in a God honoring way. You figure if God made a chicken to scratch and a hog to root, there's probably a reason for that.

 

I agree. Based on memories of listening to Brother Roloff on the radio probably 40 years ago, I think I recall he had some good ideas on diet and health. However, to consider New Testament Christians under dietary law misses the mark.

 

Sounds like he held to seventh day in this area!

 

Just for the record, Roloff was a friend of the family, so take the following with that understanding.

We all have certain quirkiness and even eccentricities, and my friend was certainly one who was openly maligned, publicly persecuted and imprisoned and yet remained untarnished by the world scrutinizing. Not a single account of factual misconduct of the man was ever found. Few believers have or could undergo such scrutiny and remained remarkably innocent.

Just as John Rice, Roloff had vast contributions, and many ministries in which he had to delegate responsibilities.

Not everyone agrees with everything giants of the faith may write or speak, however their character is without blame even by the world, yet the world would still ridicule.

Do not we all pick upon even the teaching of The Christ, Mosses, David, and the profits and Apostles?

Paul admonished folks to sift everything taught through the scriptures and hold fast to what was right, trashing the rest.

Those who have never spent time with a glass of carrot juice might find it delightfully delicious healthy alternative.
