Plus, the fiber content of black beans will help you beat cholesterol. The soluble fiber in black beans binds with the bile acids in your system and carry them out of your body, making it impossible for those acids to become cholesterol. This is great news for your heart health, and can dramatically reduce your risk of a stroke or heart attack. Black beans also pack a large amount of insoluble fiber, which is key fuel for your digestive system, and helps keep your whole digestive tract in top shape, preventing a wide range of ailments, including short-term bouts of constipation and chronic conditions like diverticulosis and irritable bowel syndrome. Plus, black beans are high in antioxidants called anthocyanins, which help fight the free radicals in your system, so black beans are a powerful nutritional weapon in the fight against cancer and the aging process. Black beans are also high in iron and manganese, two important building blocks of a healthy overall diet. 2.The Bible states that the Holy Spirit who a. washes us from our sins b. sanctifies us c. gives us justification d. all of these 4.According to the Bible, anyone who does not receive God’s Spirit a. can be saved by faith b. does not belong to God c. better be sure they’ve accepted the Lord d. will be saved by grace if they confess Jesus Excerpted from The Complete Book of Bible Trivia by J.
