Why do you believe God will see it that way?

You reject the Words of God, your creator, when you reject it. Not my interpretation.

And as I said earlier, the scriptures are readily available. No need to listen to anyone else. That being said, many here have rejected Christ.

If that was the only source about food/cooking, then yes.

The bible is a record of what various people said about various things, including about Jesus. So, yeah, it IS listening to what someone else said.

Please, who here has met the man, Jesus, and rejected him? I'd like to read that story.

I said it for the benefit of those who think "rejecting Jesus" has dire consequences. God doesn't care.
