Biblical Health Instructions

I was about to dispose some old magazines. There is this one magazine cover that really catches by attention, and the magazine is the “The Good News”. It’s was published 6 years ago (2002), but I am very struck with its contents. It is all about having a vibrant health as what their front page says but it is in the accordance to the Bible. Here is one of the articles about the seven principles the Bible says about health and wellness:

One: Obey God’s commandments
“My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commands; for length of days and long life and peace they will add to you…It will he health to your flesh, and strength to your bones” (Proverbs 3:1-2, 8)

Two: Basic sanitation
“Designate a place outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourself. As part of your equipment have something to dig with, and when you relieve yourself, dig a hole and cover up your excrement” (Deuteronomy 23:12-13)

Three: Sexual purity
“For the lips of an immortal woman drip honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil; but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two edge sword…And you mourn at last, when your flesh and your body are consumed” (Proverbs 5:2-5, 11)
“Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all sexually immortal” (Hebrews 13:14)

Four: Circumcision
“From generation to generation, every male child must be circumcised at the eight after his birth. This applies not only to members of your family but also to the servants born in your household and the foreign-born servants whom you have purchased” (Genesis 17:12)

Five: Control your stress level
“Cast your burdens to the Lord, and He shall sustain you,” (Psalms 55:22)

Six: Exercise
“bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things…” (1 Timothy 4:8) It profits a little for their daily routines before are like intense exercises of today.

Seven: Emotional management
“A merry heart does good, like medicine…” (Proverbs 17:22)

These biblical tips or instructions are long been given to us, some can be considered as the foundations of our modern medicines. But even though modern medical science have discovered and developed many principles and techniques to have a good health, everything starts from Him.

Reflection

I think, therefore I exist.

We came to the world equip with the ability to think. This ability is one of the most significant features a human being has. The ability to think enables us to deal with our daily lives accordingly, and it makes our lives productive. We’ve been dealing with this for so many years, but when Mr. Randy S. Gamboa introduce the phrase “I think, therefore I exist”, I come to asked myself. “Do I really exist or am I really thinking?” In times of confusion, I have thought of so many things in life that I have done. Yes, I am thinking, and I’m sure everybody is. And yes I exist, because I can feel the interaction of the world to me and me to the world. Knowing these things makes me sure that I do think, and therefore I exist.

But there are times that I feel I am useless. I know what to do, but still I have not done it. I know what the right thing is, but still I did not follow it. Yes, literally I think, and I exist. But sometimes, I do not think. Therefore, I also do not exist. Since everything we do start with our minds, we can say that every little thing we do starts when we think, when we use our minds. But that’s only the start, a something, for it to be done needs an action and not just thinking. In order to do something, we need to materialize the thinks we are thinking. Anticipating and balancing all the factors that affects to what we are doing.

Killers of the Future

Artificial Intelligence and Robotics are among the very promising technologies that are currently developing. Many governments and organizations around the globe supports these field of specialization for in the near future it can provide the people with much more effectiveness and output. But as of now, there are many studies regarding AI and robotics in the application of military purposes. The question then arises, what is the future of these studies?

An author once said, "Time will come that humans will build a machine that will have a responsibility to kill humans but without the intervention of humans themselves". By basing the authors assumption to the military researches on the AI and Robotics for war purposes, there is really a chance that what he/she said will surely manifest. Beside humans are the reasons for the destruction of the nature that's why there is a global warming now. What can we say, maybe we the humans will also be the main reason that we will be replaced by machine. Heheheheh


So, are you afraid of the future?
