For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
– (Bible, Romans 14:17)
Question: Christ says, ‘The Kingdom of God is not meat and drink’, but on every special day, all I see is meat and drink. That is how people celebrate. So where did it all go wrong?
Speaker: If Christ is saying that the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, then why do we only see meat and drink? And his words are both figuratively and literally true. Millions of animals would have been slaughtered just for the New Year eve celebration. And you know, statistics are that forty percent of that meat, chicken, ham, beef, bacon, all that goes to go waste. Because in festivals people tend to buy more than they need, then they throw it away. Of the millions of slaughtered animals, millions have been killed, just to be dumped in a waste basket.
Where did it all go wrong?
It didn’t really go wrong at any particular point, it is always continuously going wrong. It’s not as if something happened in the historical context and because of that mankind is suffering.
It is always, continuously going wrong.
