Bible Question: I've been studying on what is clean and unclean to eat. Does it say anywhere in the new testament that our Father made unclean foods clean? |
Bible Answer: gixer44, I sense your question as pertaining not so much to the ceremonial distinctions of the Levitical Law about which foods were clean or unclean but to the properties of the foods themselves, whether they are good or bad for us to eat. Jesus clearly abolished the proscription on ceremonially unclean foods, but He certainly did not negate the Old Testament dietary wisdom. An excellent treatment of this subject can be found in a book that I heartedly commend to you. It's called "What the Bible Says About Healthy Living" by Rex Russell, M.D. (Regal Books, a Division of Gospel Light) --Hank |
