"Those who live in new countries or in poverty-stricken districts, where fruits and nuts are scarce, should not be urged to exclude milk and eggs from their dietary. It is true that persons in full flesh and in whom the animal passions are strong need to avoid the use of stimulating foods. Especially in families of children who are given to sensual habits, eggs should not be used. But in the case of persons whose blood-making organs are feeble,— especially if other foods to supply the needed elements cannot be obtained,—milk and eggs should not be wholly discarded. Great care should be taken, however, to obtain milk from healthy cows, and eggs from healthy fowls, that are well fed and well cared for; and the eggs should be so cooked as to be most easily digested. MH 320.1"
"For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:"
Both passages address the acceptance of certain foods under specific conditions. While 1 Timothy 4:4 generally states that all of God's creation is good, the EGW quote provides specific exceptions and cautions regarding milk and eggs, particularly in certain health conditions or environments. The underlying theme is about discerning appropriate use of resources.
"healthful and inexpensive. The people everywhere should be taught how to cook without milk and eggs, so far as possible, and yet have their food wholesome and palatable. MH 320.2"
"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?"
This verse emphasizes that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, implying a responsibility to care for them, which aligns with the passage's focus on healthful eating.
