Bible Question: I WANTEND TO KNOW IF IT SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT EATING PORK IN THE BIBLE? |
Bible Answer: Mark 7:18-23 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. Jesus taught that the Old Testament Law that forbade the eating of certain meats were to teach a lesson but they were to dull to understand the spiritual lesson behind it. Paul also understood that was what Jesus taught for Paul said..... Romans 14:14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. Can God change a law or rule he set up in the OT at a later time? Of Course he can, He is God. An example is that before the fall man's meat was vegetation, after the fall and flood of Noah God says... Genesis 9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. The point is that there are spiritual truths behind these OT laws of what the Jew could eat (this law was never given to the gentile) and if the Jew kept the dietary law yet did not understand the spiritual truth it did him no good at all according to Jesus. So it is today. If a man prides himself in keeping a sabbath day by not working, but has no revelation of resting in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross for his salvation, not trusting in his sabbath keeping to grant him any "brownie points" with God then his sabbath keeping does him no good because he has no understanding of the spiritual truth behind the sabbath, which is a shadow of the real and the real is Jesus working for you and through you His righteousness. Col 2, Heb 3-5 |
