Re: Do Whatever You Want: Freedom In Christ?

Well, let's consider what Christ says about things consumed.

“Do you still not understand?” Jesus asked. “Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated? But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man ~Matt 15:16-18

In other words Jesus is saying that it is not what we consume that defiles us but it is what comes out of us is what defiles us. 

The only way that we can have goodness in us to come out is to have God put it there and this means we don't resist.  I have struggles with doubts from time to time.  Especially when it comes to science, but at those times I simply choose to believe and realize that I don't need to know the how or even the why, I just need to trust Him.

Having times of struggling and doubt is totally normal.  That's why it is called faith.  As John put it in 1 John 3: 19-20 And by this we will know that we belong to the truth, and will assure our hearts in His presence: If our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.

Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you with speculation about what he has seen. Such a man is puffed up without basis by his unspiritual mind, and he loses connection to the head, from whom the whole body, supported and knit together by its joints and ligaments, grows as God causes it to grow.…Col 2:18-19
