The Bible is the word of God: all its contents reveal Jesus Christ the Word, which is the word of truth. The Word is the only true food of the body and soul; and it is the food of this book entitled: “The feeding of the body and

soul” Based on this truth this book was written. The Bible in all its contents proves the existence of God: and of one God, as the word says: “Thus says the Lord, King Israel, and their Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last, and without me there is no God. ” (Isaiah 44: 6).

The word of the LORD “I am the first, and I am the last.” reveals to man Adam the Lord Jesus, He reveals that He is the Word, and the source of eternal life, and the beginning and the end of all things: “ IN THE PRINCIPLE was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ” (John 1:1). Jesus is the word, and offered himself as: “... the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us,...” (John 1: 14a). The Word is Christ Jesus the “Redentor”, What, “Habited among us”; and, who by his Spirit revealed himself as the Savior: it is up to man Adam whether or not to accept from the Lord God the offering of eternal life in Christ Jesus by the word of truth: But it is of human free will to accept Christ as the “Redentor”, of life.

Whereas Jesus is the way, and the truth and the life: "Jesus said to her: I am the way, and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but for me. ” (John 14:6) These words place Adam before a great decision: whether to choose or not to live the truth through life in Christ. Can man Adam attain salvation in Jesus Christ? Whereas: Man Adam sees the word, but he does not believe what he sees; he knows that it has been touched; but he does not admit that it has been touched: he sees that there is light; but he does not accept that Jesus is the true light: for as a blind man he lives, and does not want to see the light of the way, and of the truth and eternal life in Jesus the “Redentor”, who offers to the light, so that human free will can make a good choice for life in Christ.

The author of the book believes the word of God. And believing, he accepted the offering of salvation which he received from the Messiah the Lord Jesus Christ. And by faith he affirms that Jesus Christ is the light of the way to the true source of the food life of body and soul. By faith he reveals the desire to present Jesus Christ as his Savior in reading this book on the Feeding of the Body and the Soul. And by believing in faith, Jesus' divine principles are the only and perfect physical feeding path of your body, you will understand how simple are the divine guidelines of God's eating laws: and how you can transform your life by feeding your body and soul while you still breathe and have life.

Adam man you can practice in your life to feed your body and soul a transformation so extraordinary that: your way of living a project of food life by the divine principles of Jesus, will be such a wonderful, complete and profound experience in the way of practicing and understanding your life to feed by the daily pursuit of the physical food of your body that: you will be touched by the Lord's life-giving Holy Spirit by offering salvation to your soul; and by receiving the Holy Spirit Liver as the nourishment of the soul; that, is the eternal project of the Lord God, you receive the food of eternal life. This is how the transformation to a new form of life takes place: for when you receive the Spirit of the Lord Jesus, the Lord of Glory will guide your spirit (heart), in how you should seek well-being by feeding the physical body.

Man Adam of early times has ceased to practice the salvation of the soul that is in his physical body: and today and now it is no different, man Adam does not want to accept that the soul thirsts for the living food that is Christ, and the motive is in himself: man does not allow himself to open the way so that Jesus can make habitation in his spirit (heart). The heart of man Adam is petrified by the abundant freedom existing in the offerings of the pleasures of the flesh; these feed the soul continually, and this occurs from the beginning by the disgusting transformation that occurred in the mind of man sinful Adam.

The persistent indifference existing in the heart of man sinful Adam refusing to receive the guidance for the proper feeding of the body and soul is indescribable: But God, in the creation of man, offered an ally to help in the way of feeding truth; this ally is very close, this ally is within the body of man Adam. The stomach! Yes, the stomach itself! The stomach is not petrified like the human heart. The stomach is always in a state of alertness, and it emits signs of hunger: and together, stomachs and papillas emit signs complaining, and revealing their desires for edible foods (mush). The stomach and papillae will be man's greatest allies to help him to practice a new form of feeding by the proper feeding of the body and soul through the divine principles of Jesus.

By the desire of the papillae and the signs emitted by the stomach, man Adam can be reached in understanding the nourishment of the body and soul. But to overcome we have a fact that is unquestionable as already mentioned; the reason of man Adam: Who sees, and doesn't believe what he sees: That it is touched, and even feeling that it is touched does not believe in the sense by which it was touched; even though it is the divine word of God. The word reveals to the heart of man Adam the way to feed in Jesus; but the heart and reason of man need the help of the papillae and stomach; the human free will needs the human stomach: the stomach will be man's greatest ally and help Adam in practicing changes in his life to feed the body and soul. Feeding on the edible food of the body, and with fear today and now for the well-being of the proper nourishment of the body; the experiences of the spirit (heart) for the salvation of the soul.

The Lord God created man Adam. We are all men Adams, and we will talk proving to you is true, and, revealing by the divine word as should be the understanding of the food dependence for which you were created. This is for you to want to continue with the reading of this book: and, believing to receive the words of the sacred scriptures described in the Bible, and thus to advance: and by the principle of faith to continue advancing in the practice of understanding the nourishment of the body and soul by the divine principles of Jesus.

The eating error brought sin by the disobedience of the feeding law; and by the food disobedience came the individual way to man. But with an offer: A new and living way for everyone who believes and is born in Christ Jesus; this man Adam will receive the offering of salvation in obedience to the word. Man in his short passage through life faces daily basic and essential needs of body feeding; however, through the needs of the body he can practice with fear the offering of soul feeding.

With the error of feeding the man Adam was expelled from the garden of Eden. With expulsion a transformation took place. At this moment the Lord God reveals that the fleshly body of man Adam would be identified by his own name: for man being dust, as a sinner, would die and to dust return:“...for you are dust, and you will become dust. ” (Genesis 3:19b). Names would identify man Adam in life, and in death by turning to dust, in his identified tomb, here lies a sinner; billions of men Adam, with lineages and tribes distinct by multiplying the races and genealogies of families, identified by their own names, all receiving physical death being "Put, and you shall become dust" on the face of the whole earth: these facts would continue to occur for centuries and millennia, but the Lord God knows them all distinctly: The change with names did not occur only with the first pair Adam, after sin throughout the millennia there were many transformations: however, always with guidance for the feeding of the body and soul: God offered the word of truth by the teaching of the (holocaust) for the nourishment of the soul: “My soul is taken to dust; quicken me according to your word. ” (Psalms 109:25). The Lord offered the salvation of the soul by the word. The salvation of the soul and eternal life come from hearing the word, and by the individual call of the name: "My soul is consumed with sorrow; strengthen me according to thy word. ” (Psalm 119:28).

From the creation of man Adam to the pre-diluge period ten generations passed, which identified by the word by names were forerunners of the first ten patriarchal generations reported in the Bible. From the first man Adam to the flood with Noah ten generations. These ten generations of patriarchs heard his call, and in obedience there was fear for the word of the LORD. Today and now Jesus, it's still the same call. This call is for us the only way to salvation. We must be attentive to the call; and, attentive to hearing the voice of Jesus calling our names, and in obedience as these ten patriarchs let our hearts be directed by the Lord God.

The obedience of ten generations patriarchs culminated in the salvation of righteous Noah and his family. As the word of the Lord God describes, the flood occurred: this watershed went to the annihilation of human life for the sins of the transgressions of the laws of nourishment of body and soul. This fact is unquestionable even for unbelievers, for the bulky watershed called the flood actually occurred; but it is something that until now impresses the unbelieving and faithless man, for entering and remaining in the ark meant salvation, that is, by faith in obedience by the nourishment of body and soul, the salvation of righteous Noah and his family occurred (by faith in the offering of the burnt offering). Outside the ark; the eternal death of a sinful, evil and corrupt humanity by food (carnivores); doubts whether in those days the flood would come, and if the flood would actually occur by the waters, became to man (flesh) unbelieving and faithless his death; becoming the flood of the waters in the greatest judgment of the sins (carnals) of mankind. But to the righteous Noah and his family salvation in Jesus (for the burnt offering).

Through the waters of the flood; and through them in Jesus the fountain of water of life occurred the salvation of man Adam. In obedience to the word of the Lord God, a proper feeding of the body and soul of the first ten patriarchal generations occurred, and eight souls were saved by obedience to the guidelines of the food laws of Eden (practicing the offering of the burnt offering by faith). After the flood by the Lord's mercy, a new food decree occurs, and guidelines for food consumption. The Lord offers new dietary guidelines for the continuity of man's life Adam. After the flood by the Lord's food law, the flesh of all that moves would be added to offer man's physical satisfaction Adam; but only with fear and proper food would mankind's survival occur. Through the intervention of the Lord, it became possible to continue human life by feeding on the flesh: but according to the guidelines of the word of the Lord God.

With the flood occurred physically to the destruction of millions of men, all carnivores being unscrupulous by the form of food. All these generations of corrupt people were descendants of the patriarch generations of which we don't even know the names. For all these unscrupulous carnivores there was no fear for the teachings of Eden for the sacrifice of the burnt offering, and even less obedience for the word of the Lord Yahweh. This disobedience led spiritually to eternal death for millions of sinful souls: but there was continuity of human life by the salvation of righteous Noah and seven more.

Man Adam proved by scientific research the flood recorded in the word. With proof of the flood, and the archaeological proof of Noah's ark, it becomes undisputed that the records of the Holy Bible on the existence of the nine patriarchs who preceded the patriarch Noah are undisputed and true. The historical fact of the flood with the salvation of the righteous Noah and his family, and the existence of the nine patriarchs by obedience to the nourishment of the body and soul; they offer an indisputable analogy that, only through the divine principles of Jesus, we will be able to live in obedience the proper nourishment of the body and soul. Man Adam by his (carnal) desires develops every form of technology to process food. It is also by human weakness in processing food, that the Lord God allows his creative glory to be tested, and even by the processing and manipulation of the foods of Genesis 1: 11; and to understand this is to understand that man's feeding disobedience Adam finds only salvation in the only truth to feed: Jesus!

As in the food guidance of Eden; after the flood a new guidance from the Lord God brought changes in food. We already know that just as in Eden the flood took place by feeding disobedience of the body and soul of man Adam. We also know that the judgment of mankind by the waters occurred in the final period of the first ten thousand-year patriarchal generations mentioned in the word. After the flood, a great watershed would come in man’s edible food. But do not understand that the flood water divider transformed the food of Genesis: by the Lord's infinite mercy, he continued the same diet with the possibility of adding flesh to human food. We must understand that after the creation of God, it never changed the law of the creation of the foods of Genesis, these should accompany man throughout his life. Registered in the word we will explain in detail every law that has operated by mercy and by the love of the Lord God, in feeding the life of man Adam in the first chapter.

After the flood the rapid decline of man’s age occurred: in that millennial period man had a life that came close to the thousand years. The Lord would no longer allow a millennial age for the man Adam: “ And the LORD said, My Spirit shall not contend with man for ever: for he also is flesh: but his days shall be an hundred and twenty years." (Genesis 6:3). With these words, after the condemnation of the man Adam by the flood to the patriarch Abraham, and by the seed in the last patriarch in Joseph the man was already at his age level in an hundred and twenty years according to the word of the Lord: “And Joseph died of the age of one hundred and ten years;...” (Genesis50: 26th).

Widely proven by scientific research the decline of the human race continued: even with the levelling of age in one hundred and twenty years. The word of the Lord God limited man's physical life in his body structure, he would have a body with structure to live up to a hundred and twenty years, but with a proper nourishment of body and soul. Today and now, man Adam could live a hundred and twenty years, but man dies before, for he continues to feed according to his manipulations, and his fleshly desires.

The Lord God continually works to save man Adam: and, revealed his desire to use Abram to form a people, who in obedience would be an example for man Adam of how to live the proper nourishment of body and soul. In addition to teaching food through the chosen people, the Messiah the Lord Jesus would be born from this very nation. For this he called the twenty patriarch Abram to be the forerunner of a great nation: “ORA, the Lord said to Abram, Get thee out of thy land, and out of thy kindred, and out of thy father's house, into the land which I will show thee. And I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and I will magnify your name, and you will be a blessing. (Genesis 12:1, 2).

This call was no accident. The Lord GOD found a man in Abram with fear, and recognized by the LORD as the father of faith; “...And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of faith when he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all who believe... ” (Romans 4:11a). From the loins of Abram the people of the Lord God were formed by the life of the patriarch Abraham, the example of faith, and “father of all who believe”. From the heart of the Lord God came the desire to establish the nation of Israel. This nation is the forerunner of almost all Bible history. From the lineage of King David was born the Messiah, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. From Israel: and of her chief characters as Abraham her patriarch and forerunner: From them see the main sources and references used in this book: the guidelines of the word are the proposals of the theme on: The Feeding of the Body and Soul; by the divine principles of Jesus.

The fact that we write using references to the historical characters of the Bible aims to promote the understanding of salvation: and the greatest of them; to proclaim the Messiah the Lord Jesus. Only with Jesus, as mediator can we remove from the deepest, unbelieving and petrified human heart the doubt of those who question the existence of God. For our own salvation we must believe and accept that the Lord God created by the power of his word everything: and accept that the Lord God will always and eternally be in charge of all things, and has dominion over all things of his creation. All Bible facts and events are undisputed. Researchers and historians with the theory of evolution seek centuries to oppose the word, and obtain contrary evidence: however, in human trajectories always fell into contradictions when trying to demonstrate the evolution of humanity contrary to the word of the LORD.

In the search for the existence of life man with his studies tries to relate his own existence outside the creator project of the Lord God: but they always stumble upon divine creation. The scientists of the theory of evolution with their studies try to prove facts and times with their theories: however, they always run into the beginning of the divine creation of Genesis of the Lord God. And with that, these men Adam falls into his own contradictions and we will mention many of these scientific research that are simple proofs to understand the contradictions of why, it is these same scientists who simply do not want to be linked to the word of truth: the Lord Jesus Christ.

For this understanding it is fundamental to report the feeding truth that occurred in the life of God’s people, the nation of Israel, out of the loins of the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: The Lord Jesus was born of it; and every mouth confesses to more than two millennia. Through the way the people of Israel lived, the patriarchs by faith lived in obedience: but the people in disobedience to the word of the Lord; but through historical facts we will prove to the truth of Jesus' divine principles for the proper nourishment of the body and soul.

By the word and teachings of the Lord Jesus, we can draw from the most precious guidelines of life: “Teach me, O LORD, the way of your statutes, and I will keep it to the end. Give me understanding, and I will keep your law, and I will observe it with all my heart. ” (Psalm 119: 33-34). These teachings of the Lord will lead the life of man Adam to the salvation of the soul, and to the welfare of the nourishment of the body. Understanding the nourishment of the body and of the soul by obedience to the word is wonderful: provided that, for this, man Adam disarms his spirit (heart): therefore, the spirit and the stomach wage a daily struggle against the offerings of food manipulated and processed: it will be for man to strive, to disarm his spirit, by the teachings of Jesus.

By analogy to the statement of the above there is a popular saying that offers a simple formula of understanding: “If you want to conquer someone: invite him to eat in your home, take him to your kitchen, and open the cabinets and your refrigerator and you will have conquered him.” Yes, it is always the hungry stomach that will leave the spirit of man with arguments against the Holy Spirit of the Lord. But the same Spirit who receives the opposition of man Adam is ready to vivify; and by the word, he will always be ready to help man to conquer the best food: and eternally ready to feed and vivify man Adam for salvation through the unconditional love of the Lord Jesus.

The divine principles of Jesus by perfect nourishment of body and soul are contained in all Bible passages. Always and forever the Lord feeds man from the beginning of Genesis to the last book of the Bible: Revelation. The Lord God, in all the historical development of mankind, has teachings in his word to guide the life of man Adam, to receive the most perfect and complete nourishment and salvation.

We find countless words taught by the Lord Jesus himself, when in his ministry he fulfilled through his own physical body all prophecy; accomplishing in the three-year period all the food guidance of the body and soul to mankind. In this period through the teachings, and with immeasurable love the Lord Jesus taught by prophecies linked to feeding themes by parables; in simple comparisons we can cite examples of comparative themes by the parables of sowing, and growth and harvest. In all was present the main objective that is to reveal salvation to man Adam by the design of the truth of feeding life: the Lord Jesus.

And this is why Jesus, for the great multitudes who were going to be with Him, taught by parables, and through themes that confronted man’s daily life with the eating needs of the body: and at the end the Lord Jesus always fed the crowd. Jesus knew the sinful Adam man, and he knew what they were looking for. Man came to Jesus, with interests focused on food themes: man is moved by desires, and with a full stomach abandons the teachings: however, temporal food passes through the digestive process and leaves, and hunger and desire return. The words of the parables were food for the body. Behind the letter are revelations to the body of a soul thirsting for living food; that is, understanding revelation and receiving salvation offered by the food of the soul which is the Lord Jesus himself.

The crowds accompanying Jesus always received the bread that satisfied the stomach, for the Lord Jesus always honors his word. But with a full stomach and full of physical bread, the multitudes left Jesus, and the word of truth, and departed empty of spirit (heart). And in this was the error of the first Adam, he ate and was empty: But all of us men Adams thus act, we underestimate the word that teaches us how we should feed properly; and by the main food; the Lord Jesus who is the lamb of God, in the design that offers the nourishment of the body and soul for salvation through the divine principles of Jesus.

The tendency of man is fleshly Adam; the physical satisfaction of his body, that is, his full stomach, and this is proved by the multitudes who followed Jesus. But the spiritual man, by the beginning of knowledge, receives the word of truth for the salvation of the soul: this man Adam is ready; and his spirit (heart) is full of life by the offering of the “Bread of life” in Christ Jesus, the food of the body and soul; the man Adam who accepts the divine word of the law to feed the Lord God, receives the only and perfect guide to feed the physical food of the body; through it occurs the nourishment of the spirit (heart), for the salvation of the soul. This is the goal: we find in Jesus the beginning of life by feeding the body and soul, by its divine principles, by offering his unconditional love as the Christ of the Cross.
