The Human Body

Tweet

Most of us know that the human body is made up of lots of water, about ten gallons, actually. But, did you know that the average human body also contains enough iron to make a six-inch nail? A human body also contains enough phosphorus to make over 2,000 match heads and enough Sulphur to kill all the fleas on an average dog. In addition to that, the average human body contains enough carbon to make 900 pencil leads and enough fat to make seven bars of soap. There are many other minerals in the human body. In fact, we are made of the same things that are in the dirt of the ground. That is why the Bible says that “God went on to make the man out of the dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils, the breath of life and the man became a living person.” Genesis 2:7 Also, after man sinned, God said: “In the sweat of your face, you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.” Genesis 3:19 Are you a Bible reader?
