Hello, Mathew. The creatures proscribed by the dietary laws of the Old Testament to be ingested for nourishment of the human anatomy were generally gastronomically abominable to the anthropological abdominals, but the Jewish dietary laws, which are no longer binding to Christians in the church age, are not in the same category at all with the moral laws. I can eat lobster or catfish without sinning, but I cannot commit adultery or murder without sinning. --Hank | ||||||

Hank, What were the unclean animals in Genesis 7:2 "You shall take with you every clean animal by sevens, the male and female. And take two of the animals that are NOT CLEAN, the male and female. Noah was not a Jew. So how could Jewish laws, or Mosaic laws apply to Noah? Ya, you can eat whatever you wan't. But when did God call UNCLEAN MEAT clean. Entire chapters, such as Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14, have laid down detailed listings of the clean and unclean categories of animals. And since the original diet prescribed by God included no meat whatsoever ( Genesis 1:29), we can be absolutely certain that no forbidden, "unclean" meat was included in the diets of those who lived before the flood and followed God's law. The flood experience also demolishes a popular argument used by those who insist on eating both clean and unclean animals. They claim that the law of unclean foods only applied to the Jewish people. This cannot be correct, since there were no Jews in Noah's day when the restriction was laid, by God Himself, upon all the human race. Furthermore, the Bible declares that the forbidden-meat law will still be in effect at the second coming of Jesus. (Isaiah 66:15-17.)Isa 66:15 For, behold, Jehovah will come with fire, and with His chariots like a tempest, to refresh His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire. Isa 66:16 For by fire and by His sword Jehovah will execute judgment with all flesh; and the slain of Jehovah will be many. Isa 66:17 Those who sanctify themselves, and purify themselves to go into the gardens, behind one tree in the middle, eating SWINE'S FLESH, and the HATEFUL THING, and the MOUSE, will be cut off together, says Jehovah. |

"For one believeth that he may eat all things; another, who is weak, eateth herbs." [Romans 14:2] Have a nice day and enjoy your soybeans. :-) --Hank | ||||||

Hank, ALL meats,"YES".But he was talking about the meat he said we could eat.The meat that is clean. Not the abominable and unclean. I showed that unclean meat is a moral law, and that even at the time of the end, God still wouldn't have us eat it. You gave one scripture saying it was ok to eat meat, but not unclean meat. And you never answard my question good enough for me to eat abominations...But I'm listening |

Frankly, Mathew, I'm prepared to dismount, unstrap the saddle from this (unclean?) horse, and give it a rest. BradK, EdB, Emmaus, and srbaegon all have given you fine responses which you obviously have chosen to ignore, albeit you have been kind and civil in your posts for which I commend you. You persist in calling OT dietary laws moral laws, being apparently oblivious to any distinction between the two categories. If you wish to continue to believe as you do, and turn a deaf ear to the efforts of my colleagues on the forum who have done an excellent job of exegeting this issue from both an OT and a NT perspective, who am I to try to cram meat down your throat, so to speak? So, on that note, I beg your indulgence in allowing me to exit this thread in the same spirit of peace and goodwill with which I entered it. So, bye-bye for now, and whatever the menu at your dinner table this evening, be it vegetarian or venison, costly or humbly eleemosynary, Bon Appetit! --Hank | ||||||
