🍴The Cannibalism Curse (What Does The Bible Say?): Pet Doctrines #2

Send us Fan MailCannibalism: Most have heard the story immortalized in the book with the very misleading title, “Miracle In The Andes” When the plane called “Fairchild” made contact with the Andes mountains and crashed. Along with the Old Christian Rugby Club heading to an exhibition match against a Chilean team. After much suffering, they turned to eating the dead bodies for survival; methodically cannibalizing their friends, even to the point of discovering the most delicate meats. All in an attempt to survive one more day in the wretched, freezing conditions they found themselves in. Even justifying their actions by comparing the act to be much like the Lord’s Supper. And telling themselves that they drew life from the blood of their friends, in the same way we draw spiritual life through the Lord’s Supper. #Cannibalism  Also, most have heard of the cannibalistic “Donner - Reed Party.” Or, as I jokingly call it out of disgust and horror, the “Donner Dinner Party.” In 1846, as they travelled across the United States to start a new life, they took a supposed shortcut enroot to California from Illinois. They became trapped in the Sierra Nevada Mountains by an 8 day freak snowstorm. To this day, the location is called the “Donner Pass”.  The gruesome reminder of how when the food ran out, and they ate their oxen, dogs, and cow hides; they then took to eating one another’s relatives and accountancies. If you fell in the snow, you might become dinner.We find similar stories of desperation, depravity, and cannibalism in the Bible. Like the following story, found in 2 Kings 6:24-30 :“Later King Benhadad of Aram assembled his whole army. They went to Samaria and blockaded it.  (25)  The shortages caused by the blockade of Samaria became so severe that a donkey's head sold for two pounds of silver and a half-pint of dove manure for two ounces of silver.  (26)  As the king of Israel was walking on the city wall, a woman cried to him, "Help me, Your Majesty!"  (27)  He answered, "If the LORD doesn't help you, how can I help you? I can't give you something from the threshing floor or the winepress."  (28)  Then the king asked her, "What's the matter?" She answered, "This woman told me, 'Give up your son. Let's eat him today. We'll eat my son tomorrow.'  (29)  So we boiled my son and ate him. The next day I told her, 'Give up your son. We'll eat him,' but she hid her son."  (30)  When the king heard the woman say this, he tore his clothes in distress. As he was walking on the city wall, the people saw that he was wearing sackcloth under his clothes.  (31)  He said, "May God strike me dead if the head of Elisha, son of Shaphat, stays on his body today.”We have heard of the infamous cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer, the serial killer who ate his victims, and many other such horrendous and disgusting stories of cannibalism. The rest of the Bible is no different in the accounts provided. This is what we will be talking about today- Cannibalism from a Biblical point of view. So, hold onto your taste buds, and wet your appetites for the meat of the Word of God. I promise we will season it with salt.  ;-)Download The PDFhttps://brotherlance.com/cannibalism/Watch The Video:https://youtu.be/zoPTkWXyhHQNew IntroSupport the showBecome A SupporterJOIN US!> Main Website: https://brotherlance.com/> Free Book: http://weshallbelikehim.com/> Free Music: https://brotherlance.com/brother-lance-music/> Social - Gab: https://gab.com/BrotherLance
