Bible Question:
My mother in law has been studying the bible religiously and she knows more than my wife and I as we barely study to be honest and need to get more into our bible study. She just recently told us over this weekend that she will not be eating anymore meat. We got into discussions about this and she said that all meat is Unclean and that she would not eat it any longer. However, she will still eat Eggs. I am really confused at this point and need to read and study for myself, but I wanted to find a forum to ask this question. What meats are considered Unclean and Clean, what what can we eat and should not eat according to GOD's word? She told us that fish is also unclean, but I read a passage that said, anything with a tail and scales is considered clean. My wife and I want to follow the laws of GOD, but we are confused. Can anyone that has come down this road help us out? What are your beliefs about Unclean and Clean meats? I have all the scriptures, but really need guidance. I will ultimately make the decision for my family but need some help understanding this all. Didn't Jesus eat 5 loaves and 2 fish? So how could it be unclean? |
Bible Answer: LEV 11 outlines clean and unclean foods according to God. I do believe that you should follow what he has outlined in his Torah (Law). He created these animals and knows what should and should not be consumed by us. The Messiah followed and obeyed the Torah and instructed us as believers to do the same. I used to be confused with this same topic as well, but studying and obeying what I read and following has improved my health and life overall. I hope this helps a little bit. |
