(1Ti 4:3) “Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. (4) For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: (5) For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.” These teachings are coming from (v1) “seducing spirits and doctrines of devils”. Point: they focus the individual upon the physical rather than the spiritual. There is pride in doing. Pride is of the devil. There is humility is submitting to God. His focus is upon your inner man, not your outward.
