Clean and Unclean Meat !!
LittleBear:
Hi Sue Ann,
Oh Boy, what did I start? Ok, I'll give you another suggestion to give you better dreams.
How about Death by Chocolate, my very favorite ice cream. It would definitely be considered a clean food! I'm pretty sure it's found somewhere in Isaiah. OK, hang on, I'm looking. Um, no I can't seem to find it there. Sorry, I must have read it somewhere else. :D
Anyway, sweet dreams!

Ursula,
I am so sad Death by Chocolate is not there...are you sure you looked hard enough???? :o (Ha ha ha)
Have you ever heard of Death by Chocolate CAKE ??? Hum-mm, hum mm it is just as bad (good ). In a way I would have to agree with Steve, maybe that rat roasted just right along side a big ole potato would be so much more healthy...(kidding of course). Oh no, here comes the nightmares..... ;D
Thanks for your response..I loved it.

BEFORE the Law there were clean and unclean animals...
When everything was ready, the Lord said to Noah, “Go into the boat with all your family, for among all the people of the earth, I can see that you alone are righteous. Take with you seven pairs—male and female—of each animal I have approved for eating and for sacrifice, and take one pair of each of the others. [GEN 7:1-2 NLT]
If God thought that some animals were unfit for eating before the Law how are we free to safely eat anything we want? Isn't poison always poison?

I look at the scripture that we have in the NT, that plainly state that all are clean.
Mar 7:18 He said to them, "Are you so ignorant? Don't you know that nothing that goes into a person from the outside can make him unclean?
Mar 7:19 For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and is expelled as waste." (Thus he declared all foods clean.)
This is a statement from Jesus, where He says nothing you eat and I would think that would include unclean meat, make you unclean. The statement in parentheses is from Mark making it certain what is being said.
Luke 10:8 And into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.
This is Jesus speaking, there is no mention of not eating a unclean meat. But He is saying to eat whatever is put before you.
1Cor 10:27 If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience.
This is from Paul, he is teaching them a higher spiritual law of being conscience of anothers feeling and says to not object to eating whatever is set before you. The spiritual comes before the physical.
I do realize that we have to use good judgment in what we eat, but we are not held to the laws of eating only clean animals, the scripture prove this.
We are held by a higher spiritual law and that is what we should be concerned with.
In reality when we stand before Christ to give account, I don't think He will be concerned with what our dietary habits were.
This is how I see this, but anyone that is trying to eat health and restricting certain things in their diet, this is a good thing for them to do. Our bodies are the temple of God and we should strive to be healthy and keep all things in moderation. We should not let this become an idol of your heart, there are more important things to be concerned with :)
mercy, peace and love
