Bible Question: IN LEVIT.11 AND DUET. 14 GOD POINTS OUT THAT CERTAIN FOOD AS UNCLEAN. AS CHRISTIANS SHOULD WE BE PRACTISING THIS TODAY? |
Bible Answer: Hello LORRAINBOW, It is argued against ( by lovers of swines flesh and broth of abominable beasts), that God somehow changed His Law. But, we really should not be eating what the Lord has told Israel is unclean for His people. He is holy so shall we be holy, His representatives here on earth. If you go back and look at Lev. 11 and Duet. 14, it does not call those unclean things food. They shall however be detestable and abhorrent to you. This is the mind of God, what God thinks of these things, and He is instructing His people very clearly. Lev. 11:24 starts out saying "By these, moreover you will be made unclean:..", speaking of the unclean animals. This was also an accusation God had against the priests, that they did not teach the difference between the holy and the profane. Ezek 22:26"Her priests have done violence to My law and have profaned My holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they hide their eyes from My sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. Have you heard anything from the church pulpits about the difference between the clean and unclean? Is 66:17 “Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go to the gardens, Following one in the center, Who eat swine's flesh, detestable things and mice, Will come to an end altogether," declares the LORD. also see, Is 65:4. He says these will come to an end , not that He will change the law and do away with clean and unclean. Is 9:16 For those who guide this people are leading them astray; And those who are guided by them are brought to confusion. It is violence to the Law to say and teach the Law is done away with. In the New Testament, it seems as if Jesus Himself speaks this Law out of existence , remember to harmonize the scriptures, God is not the author of confusion. To do away with the Law was not Jesus’ purpose, He says in Matt 5:17 Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. If you study out these scriptures in the New Testament (that many use to give hearty approval to eat unclean animals) you will find they are being used out of context. In the case of Matthew 15 in verse 2 the Pharisees were complaining because His disciples were not following the tradition of washing of hands, and all that is discussed down to verse 20 of that chapter was in reference to this washing of hands subject, and having nothing to do with eating unclean animals. Matt 15:20 "These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man." The Pharisees were saying they were being defiled by not washing their hands, Not because they were eating pork, had there been any confusion about that He would have directed them to the Law as He did in other instances. wordoer |
