Today I'm covering a little bit of information of what exactly is the Remnant Fellowship, and include some bible verses that refute some of their beliefs.
The Remnant Fellowship is a supposed Christian group that was founded in 1999 by nutrition and diet guru Gwen Shamblin. They believe it is a sin to eat outside the bounds of natural hunger, those bounds as defined by Gwen would be when your stomach begins to growl. They also imply in some statements that obesity itself is a sin.
They deny the doctrine of the Trinity, and read only the NIV bible. They have been know to disassociate from family and friends who aren't members, and believe all other modern churches are counterfeit.
They focus on a very strict and complete obedience to God in every area of their lives; That is defined as what Gwen says He wants. They believe to disagree with her is to be outside the will of God. What follows is a quote from their website "We had no direction before the truths-the sermons-that God has sent down from the heavens that we have been able to ...hear and see at the remnant." All personal decisions must be approved by Shamblin, members are not allowed to read any material not written by her or listen to music other than her sons.
In conclusion, I don't recommend joining this group anytime soon as they teach things contrary to scripture and try to lord over God's heritage by trying to micromanage every aspect of the believers lives.
Here are some bible passages I think will be useful in refuting her Ideology (1 Sam 16:7, Psa 92:13-14, Pro 11:25, Pro 13:4, Pro 28:25, Rom 16:17-18, 1 Cor 1:12, 1 Tim 2:12, 2 Tim 3:16-17, 1 Pet 5:3, 1 John 2:27)
