Certainly not!

Viz; "Would you say that health and longevity are solely in the hands of God especially for His children?"

The question does not imply a long and healthy life. It merely asks whether that aspect of life on earth is under God's providence. (In response to your dietary posts)

6. Proof is in the eating. I will give you a diet which will IMPROVE your health, either immediately or in the future.
7. If you want to suffer later in life because of what you ate, don't blame THE LORD, but your own eating habits.

Prov 10:27 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

Deut 4:40 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever

And you think the Lord's parable was about food?

"He was ordered by a voice from heaven to make use of this plenty and variety which God had sent him (v. 13): "Rise, Peter, kill and eat: without putting any difference between clean and unclean, take which thou hast most mind to." The distinction of meats which the law made was intended to put a difference between Jew and Gentile, that it might be difficult to them to dine and sup with a Gentile, because they would have that set before them which they were not allowed to eat; and now the taking off of that prohibition was a plain allowance to converse with the Gentiles, and to be free and familiar with them. Now they might fare as they fared, and therefore might eat with them, and be fellow-commoners with them" M.Henry)

Genesis 1:27-29 KJV
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat......
3. You think I'm a Food Legalist?

Acts 10:10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,

11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
