Nonuse of Flesh Meats
Will the people who are preparing to become holy, pure, and
refined, that they may be introduced into the society of heavenly angels,
continue to take the life of God’s creatures and subsist on their flesh
and enjoy it as a luxury? From what the Lord has shown me, this order
of things will be changed, and God’s peculiar people will exercise
temperance in all things....
The liability to take disease is increased tenfold by meat eating.
The intellectual, the moral, and the physical powers are depreciated
by the habitual use of flesh meats. Meat eating deranges the sys-
tem, beclouds the intellect, and blunts the moral sensibilities.... Your
safest course is to let meat alone.—
