Body by God

This is a a diet review..........I think some of your readers are taking it a bit too far by delving into the religious side of your comment. Why is it that people get critized for any inference to God that does not quote scripture? Jill use your energy and pray for Bush and our soliders serving our their term in Iraq! Votes: +2

does Jill have a problem or were we all supposed to be REBORN and not have the liberty and freedom to pray .. you made great sense in the diet and if if works ... great.. Votes: +3

It is unfortunate that some people have no idea or literary sense about how someone has attempted to utilize a concept of back to the basic nutritional needs rather than the overprocessed food which is reflected in God's world today. Some folks just can't let a day go by without getting on their soapbox to rant and rave in the name of God.
Wouldn't they be surprised if God said, 'I like this guy's approach. He's returning to some the views I had when I created this marvelous planet. He wants somewhat of a return to basics, perhaps a Garden of Eden view. But folks get all riled up when you don't keep my God in the Biblical sense which you must remember was written by men and that some claim it was God inspired. Ho Hum. Give the diet site a break. They are trying to show the variety of thinking which exists on how to live a healthful life, not save your soul. AMEN. Votes: +5

Hello! Good Site! Thanks you! izkzgsxuoiyctp Votes: +5

Oh my goodness! This is a diet website and you are taking offense to someone saying "the man upstairs." The doctor is perhaps trying to be more politically correct due to the fact that not everyone in the world (pretty much HALF) of the world is not Christian. I do agree with the doctor when he proclaims we must turn away from processed foods but I think it should be taken seriously by the manufacturers not only the consumers. What we need is more nutritional education and a change in eating habits as a whole. Votes: +3

it is in poor taste to use "GOD" for an ad - the man upstairs Votes: +1

GOOD IDEA i HAVE THOUGHT THAT WAS THE RIGHT WAY TO GO BUT IN WINTER IT IS HARD TO GET GOOD VEGGIES HERE. Votes: +4

Jill, we all could lose a few pounds. You are not helping anyones situation by your rant. Advice that you didn't ask for is seldom taken, so I won't go on. except to say youwould come off better as a witness (instead as a person on the edge) if you could use some periods, commas. and paragraph breaks. I doubt God cares how you call him as long as you do call him. Votes: +2

Just as we all have a proper name, the Lord does too. By referring to God as "the man upstairs" is not right because some comments expressed that He is just that. Well. so is your boss if you are in the work force. So, see why the use of a proper name. Hey, it is my first time at this site and I enjoyed reading all the comments. I believe we are to take care of our bodies as the Lord commanded. It is true, most born-again believers try to follow the bible teachings, why do we leave the eating plan God designed for us out.

Thank you Jill for representing Christ. The Lord is helping me this year eat better and spend more time with the Father in prayer and study. I do thank you Dr. Ben for being concerned about the health of others. Votes: +1

WE SHOULD PRAISE THE LORD AT ALLS TIMES AND I AGREE IT IS SO WRONG TO US HIS NAME LIKE THAT HE IS OUR SAVIOR HE SHEAD HIS BLOOD FOR US FOR OUR SINS AND THAT IS WHY WE SHOULD LIFT HIM UP JESUS AMEN Votes: +1

Whew! Giving all honor and glory to God...not to man, even good doctors. All of us were created to praise God...period! However, it sounds like we are trying to judge Dr. Lerner for making a poor decision when naming his un-diet book--"Body by God". Has anyone read the book? (Don't judge a book by it's cover)Does Dr. Lerner supported his research and text with Holy Scripture? Although sister Jill has made several true points about the proper way to address God, without God, Dr. Lerner, wouldn't even BE a doctor!...In the end, God still gets the honor and glory! If we all would change something offensive to God and His Son Jesus, The Christ and The Holy Spirit, in ourselves, to something more positive, more blessed than we could ever imagine, our whole world would change for the greater good--one person at a time; one unordinary day at a time! Our prayers for one another are ordained by God. Continue to pray for everything, not worrying about anything and 'thank' God for His answers. Philippians 4:6 Votes: +2

I also agree with Jill. Jesus died on the cross for us that we might live and have everlasting life. If you are going to Use God in Your advertisement, Why are you disgracing him by using the phrase the man up stairs. You would do well to change that phrase as soon as possible because you are only getting negative results. Even though your product might be very good. Votes: +0

I agree with the diet but all this judgeing should be left to Jesus ,God , the Holy Spirt Not to all of us. The Doctor is trying to help you and your playing judge thats not a true Child of God, In stead you should be saying thank you and maybe make a suggestion on how he could have titled the Book! God has many ways of reaching people and we are not the ones to judge how he does it. God and Jesus are both loveing careing supportive faithfull of every single person !!!! Like all of us should be.We are all Gods children. Votes: +1

I fully agree w/ sis Jill. May God bless all of us. Votes: +0

Jill, I think you need to calm down and relax a bit. I am a very religious person and this article did not offend me at all. Things need to be taken in context. It is, after all a diet review. I applaud you for your conviction and you are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I think you go way overboard in trying to shove your view down the authors' throat. As a Christian, you should be practicing acceptence and forgiveness. I don't think the author meant anything disrespectful by the reference to the "Man upstairs". I wasn't offended by their reference, but I was offended by the way you chastized them and babbled on and on with your very slanted point of view. Votes: +1

True...'Diseases' entered, when man started cooking their food!...for we 'destroy' the natural 'enzymes', beneficial to man's absorption of nutrients from food that we ingest into our bodies!....plus the 'Human Body' comprises also of our 'spirit'......... Votes: +0

The writer of the review may not have understood the effects of what he was writing. So many people are so lazy-daisical about their faith. I am hoping the author is better in tune!
Many Blessings to all.

I have been blessed today to be in company with so many God-Jesus-HolyGost believes.
Knowing that there are so many people out there who believe in God makes my heart sing.
Sister Jill, and all of other Ladies as well Mike, I would love to hear from you.
I was born in Soviet Russia, where Religion was prohibited, but I learned to love God and I am strong believer in God.
May God Bless all of you,
In God we trust, Olga
As far as the food is concerned, YES, stay away from man made, embellished creations.

Jill, lighten up already with your criticism of this man. He obviously DOES give GOD the glory, NOT mammon, or the Devil. I suggest YOU get to your prayers and leave your harsh words in JESUS hands. It is the nit picking,self-righteous people like you that keep people from even coming back for more when it comes to the word of GOD. Do not throw stones unless YOU are without sin. (which, being human, we all know you are not.) Why is it necessary for you to rant over this advertisement. If, in fact you are such a prayer "warrior" then get to it and leave the rest to the almighty. Trust me, he does not need this kind of "witness" for the kind of love he so freely offers to each and every one of us. Votes: +0

We all have to Have God and His Teaching in our heart, regardless of our name for God as long as it is not used as a mockery,,there is no getting around The Truth as To what God wants for everyone to persue, if one is searching ask for The Lord's guidance and it will be given. Everyone is an idividual created by God to do what He has created one for. No one exactcly alike. The only thing is we have a choice and God wants us to seek it, that's why we have controversy,,Truth will Prevail,,but seek it as constant as one can, the rest is common sense, if one can't find theirs, ask for it,,,, Votes: +0

I agree with Jill as well as Nic as well with a few others. The thing is people are afraid to put "God" on anything any more. Just this week they removed a statue of the Ten Commandments from in front of a city hall in a little dinky town. Yeah and this is suppose to be the bible Belt. It's a sad thing. But God knows who believes and who doesn't and he is thankful of those who stand up for him. Thanks to all that do but don't riddicule or persecute those that don't. It's not for us to judge that will be done by "THE MAN UPSTAIRS"... 8) Votes: +0

What is our theme here? Healthy eating or Religion? Votes: +0

I don't know what the big deal is about this....Anyone that is a Christian or has been one for a while knew exactly what he meant....this phrase has been around FOREVER....I knew exactly what he meant, I didn't get offended...and I don't think the Lord was offended....The Lord knows whats in our hearts. on our minds and every single thing about us....I have referred to him as "The Man Upstairs"

Please remember that the author of the book did not use the phrase "the man upstairs". That was the reviewer. Also please remember that we often have different ways of showing respect, and that if upstairs is heaven, and "the man" is whoever has the authority, than God is The Man Upstairs. I love the pa*sion for God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit shown. by the comments. Even if my opinion of how to take the verbiage is different.
