Question:
10.) Should all church services be on Sunday?
Answer:
The Bible states that Saturday is God's holy day. Saturday is also on the Jewish calender as the day that you should be worshipping God. However, as a Christian today you should not just be worshipping God and His Son in a church service on Saturday or Sunday morning. For it is far better to worship and praise God and His Son everyday in the stillness and solitude of your own heart and mind. Other places you can worship God are in a garden setting, or in a room designated as a special and holy place to God and His Son, Jesus. You can also worship God anytime throughout your day with praises and thanksgiving through His Holy Spirit.
Therefore, you do not need a formal building or church setting to worship God and His Son. If you have God's Spirit inside you then you are already the temple of the living God and in the body of His Son, Jesus. This makes you eligible for a heavenly destination to come with your Father in heaven and His wonderful Son.
Exodus 31:16-17:
16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
John 4:23-24:
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Question:
11.)How do you enjoy life to the fullest as a Christian and experience good health?
Answer:
As Christians you have to remember you are the temple of the living God. Therefore, whatever you put into your mind and body can affect your relationship with God and your well being on this earth. Jesus speaks about the fact that your eyes are the windows of your soul. Therefore, you should be careful of what you view everyday. You should not allow yourself to view anything that would hurt your walk and closeness with God and His Son. You should also not become involved in the rhetoric and false teaching of this corrupt and troubled world.
As far as your health is concerned you should eat a well balanced diet which does not include anything that has been processed or manipulated by companies to improve their taste or their shelf life.
We at Jacob's House use strictly olive oil for all of our cooking. This is what they used in the Bible. We also limit our intake of sugar and yeast, which are harmful to your body in large amounts. Instead we have initiated a diet rich in green leafy vegetables and yeast free tortillas and pita bread. We also eat moderate amounts of fresh fruit and lean meat. We do not eat pork products of any kind or shell fish. The Bible states that these foods are not healthy for our bodies.
1 Corinthians 3:16-23:
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Therefore, let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;
23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
Leviticus 11:2-3, 7-10:
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and he be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
