well firstly the dietary restrictions were part of the mosaic law so during Noah's time God hadn't laid down any restrictions yet (Genesis 9:3), and in the new testament these restrictions were removed, Jesus himself said this (Mark 7:18-19) and later God when Peter had his vision in Acts, so as Christians today we do not have any restrictions in what we can/cannot eat
@@davidboyd1582 When it comes to the topic of how Gods people lived and ate before the law was given in the book of Exodus it doesn't mean that Gods people never had laws or commandments to go by before that. A great example is Exodus 16:27-30 "Nevertheless, some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather it, but they found none. Then the Lord said to Moses, How long will you refuse to keep my commands and my instructions? Bear in mind that the Lord has given you the Sabbath; that is why on the sixth day he gives you bread for two days. Everyone is to stay where they are on the seventh day; no one is to go out. So the people rested on the seventh day." God does not give the 10 Commandments on Mount Saini until Exodus 20 yet his people knew to keep the Sabbath before that. So to think that God had Noah place 7 of each clean animal makes sense because there would be a larger amount of "food" for God's people to eat after the flood. On a separate note: the Dietary Law was never done away with. Both of those scriptures are taken out of context and read separate in order to make people believe they no longer need to keep the dietary law. The Example of Jesus given in Mark 7 the topic being discussed is not the dietary law. Jesus is addressing the Traditions of man that the Pharasies were performing. They were holding their traditions of man "their handwashing traditions" as more important than Gods laws. The parenthasis in the Bible stating "(In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)" is something that interpreters added. It is not scripture. Peters vision in Acts 10 is also taken out of context. If you read further past the vision. Peter himself explains what the vision meant. Acts 10: 27-29 "While talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people. He said to them: “You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean. So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection...." The vision had to do with people being preached to. No longer separating Jew from gentile with who could be preached the good news of Gods ways and repentance. I’m going to leave you with this Bible verse. Jesus himself says in Matthew 5:18 “For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.” Heaven and Earth definitely have not disappeared yet. If we love him should be still be obeying Jesus and keeping the commandments.
Great point! It also indicates that Noah knew ELOHIM'S Law. His Law is Eternal and Perfect!
