Bible Answer: If you are an Israelite under the Law, then its abominable and you can’t eat it. Otherwise it is a lessen in what the Lord said at the end of it: Lev:11:45: For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. 46: This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth: 47: To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten. Holiness clean, pure, and not defiled is imperative in God’s Presence. So much so that the presence of the clean, cleans the unclean, purifies the defiled, and makes Holy that which was not Holy. Hence, Jesus for example when He “clean”, cleaned the unclean, a leper. Or a woman defiled and condemned by men,(the woman accused of adultery) pure in the site of God. |
