Discovering the Biblical Diet and Its Impact on Lifespan

In this episode of 'Let's Talk', Pastors Daniel Collins and Webster delve into scriptural discussions on diet and lifestyle as prescribed in Genesis.

They propose that even serious ailments might find their cure in natural remedies if only the knowledge were more widespread.

Moving to Genesis 9:1-4, the discussion shifts to post-flood dietary changes where God permits Noah and his descendants to consume meat, with specific restrictions against consuming blood. This segment segues into an examination of a chart showing a significant decrease in lifespan and the age at which patriarchs had their first child post-flood, leading to a discussion on whether the inclusion of meat in humans' diet may have contributed to the shortening of lifespans.
