Is eating a limited diet, such as a Carnivore diet, or avoiding certain foods because they harm you unbiblical? This episode explores what Scripture actually says about food, freedom, and caring for the body. The Bible does not treat medically necessary or health-based food avoidance as sin. Instead, it emphasizes stewardship, wisdom, self-control, and honoring God with your body. While the New Testament removes ceremonial food restrictions, it does not require people to eat everything indiscriminately. Rather than condemning dietary limits, Scripture consistently calls for honoring God with your body and recognizing that something may be permitted yet still not be beneficial to you personally.
