What does the Bible say about eating meat?

- What is the purpose of clean and unclean animals, and did the food laws change in the New Testament? Many Christians believe that the food laws in the Bible have been abolished and that we can now eat anything we want. They often say the laws concerning clean and unclean animals were only for the Jews and no longer apply to believers today. But, what does the Bible really say about this? First, I want to look at what the Bible says about clean and unclean animals, then we will examine what the New Testament says about the food laws.

Makes you wonder what God would think of all the other unhealthy/unclean foods we are putting in our body that were not around back then like GMO and processed foods.
Karen G food created by man synthetically? What could go wrong!?
Karen G Exactly ! The Jews are very picky we should all learn from what Ha’Shem says
@@AldousHuxley7 EXACTLY. This is exactly why I created my channel
Wow.... So true.. I am considering changing my eating habits.
You would have to go Raw plant-based.
Be blessed
Respect GOD'S LAW NOT HUMAN'S
Adriatico legion that is right. Please pray for me, especially about the unclean food. My mom is going to do research on this please pray that the Holy Spirit will guide her to the truth, I will do the same.
We don't actually know what that is
woah there.. that can be a very dangerous mentality
do you believe in jesus and would you believe . hem if he told you it is not what goes in to your mouth that defiles you . but what comes out . jesus he is the refiner of the law .but i tell you just because you eat pigs that is not going to make a difference unless your a jew and commanded not to eat it . because he said this swine will be unclean to you . he did not say unto the world he wanted the jew to obey hem the people of his name sack . israil .
TIM RATLIFF amen. That’s exactly what he said. 🌸💞🌹☑️🦋🌷
Thank you for explaining this with a good amount of context. I’m 28 raised in the church and still attend that church as an adult with my own children now. I’m just now starting to investigate for myself what does the Word of Father God actually say rather than my pastors interpretation of it. I asked about food laws and was told “that’s legalism and very dangerous theology” then quickly dismissed. Thank you again for actual scripture IN CONTEXT rather than just opinion.
Good teaching
@@valourempress1901
The sacrifice of Jesus's blood makes us holy. Avoiding foods does not.
What makes us holy is obedience and fear of Adonai. When Yeshua said follow me He meant following Him and obeying Torah
Acts 15 will explain further. Please read this
Ephesians 2:8-9 disagrees with following your works. Jesus already fulfilled the law.
I am a Muslim, but yet I enjoyed everything that you touched. Very clear explanation of Clean & Unclean food in the Bible. I like this type of information or education that comes from explicit statements from the source of your believe (Bible)
I am an obedient believer in the Bible and have a Muslim friend, who acknowledges the Books of Mosheh, yet eats shrimp and certain crustaceans and admits it is not forbidden in Islam.
He didn't really explain why this is allowed... What are your thoughts?
@@defenderoftruth6000 Same, I have a lot of Christian friends, I studied and graduated from Florida Daytona Beach. I never met any that forbid Unclean food especially pegs, that's why I appreciated what I saw in this clip, Anyway, To Muslims, Clean & Unclean food is decided by Revelations (Quraan & Sunnah)
In Islam we don't have the clean or Unclean but rather we have allowed or disallowed, and as you said in your post, that Muslims allowed to eat shrimps and lobsters and everything that lives in water
@@defenderoftruth6000 In regarding following the exact laws that Mosa gave, is not accurate. We were not commanded to follow Mosa or Jesus or any other prophet but the last and final messanger, prophet Mohamed peace and blessings of Allah be upon all of his prophets and messangers
@@abdullahaljalil9128 - OK I see. My friend indicated differently than what you have said. Maybe differences in understanding all those Sunnah writings?
@@defenderoftruth6000 shell fish is considered detestable but not forbidden as swine is told
Truly like your videos and humble character. I was saved in 2017 at the age of 39 and fell in love with the commandments rather quickly. All this talk about "we dont have to keep the commandments" when it is such a joy to do what the almighty likes, and not just focus on the grace given by Him but on OUR love towards Him. Thats a great feeling and all you out there who dont want to keep His commandments because you "dont have to" you are missing out on something awesome. But I am so isolated and lonely here in Stockholm, Sweden, alone in my faith.. But its ok, I will search harder for companionship! Bless you all out there and bless you Lex for making theese videos.
I love your comment. Plus I know how you feel. May Yahweh bless you in your Set Apart walk. Not of the world. But for him the Most High King Of glory.
Thank you. You responding like that really made me emotional and joyful, bless you. I will carry your words with me.
Thumbs UP for both You, & chosenforchrist. The 10 Commandments are the very essence of what true love IS!!!

Its also my experience that most real christians are not exactly popular. My life changed drastically after I was saved. Im German and live in Germany. You are welcome to mail me at ahatzfeldt (at) aol dot com.
@@daweener1 I was just thinking the other day. Wow the way really is narrow as the Bible says. But joyful. Most are ok with the wide gate. But we love the law and the narrow gate we strive for. So there are less of us. Psalms 119. Talks about his ways, and wanting it. Verse 15 I will meditate on thy precepts and walk in the ways. ❤ that. 18 Open my eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. ❤80 Let my heart be sound in your statutes; that I be not ashamed. I could go on and on. & I love it. Everyone won't. But we do. Amen.
Beautifully said. Now time to go read it all for myself and enjoy my new eating habits. 🙌🏾
I'm a Seventh Day Adventist and I don't eat unclean meats. Yep bacon and seafood are yummy, but because of my love of God and wanting to do as He pleases I don't eat it anymore. He knows what is best for us. There is always beef bacon instead of pork now that sounds good right now! 🥓
As a Seventh Day Adventist you don't eat bacon or seafood. Not because of what God says who has declared all foods clean. But because of what false teacher Ellen G White says
@@samlawrence2695i met an adventist and the more I get to know him, the more I feel like they’re being judgmental and prideful, always picking at petty things when the essential message of Jesus is simply what comes from a loving heart.
Get ready for vegetarianism, brother. No "yummy" dead animals in eternity.
@@samlawrence2695God declared all FOODS clean. Things such as unclean animals were NEVER called foods by God. You can't just shovel anything into your mouth and call it food. Andvifvyou plan to go to heaven, you better read Isaiah 66.
Nice try at smearing EGW, though. Great way to dodge the Scriptures.
1 Timothy 4:1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
END OF DISCUSSION.
Pretty sure i heard Jesus say that it wasn't what we put in our mouths that made us unclean, but what comes out of our mouths.
We should keep Gods laws but the laws of man simply will not last
Keep them to be saved?
ChîRhôpher Lazarus keep them as in listen to them and follow them
@@chickenlad483 lol, i didn't ask what keeping means, i asked if you do it to be saved?
Most likely he keeps God's laws simply because he loves God. "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous." (1 John 5:3 KJV)
On the other hand, perhaps he really is one who abides in Christ. "He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked." (1 John 2:6 KJV)
@@messiahswordsfirst6992 Messiah's Words First i am confused how that is on the other hand. But, the Holy Scriptures are true. i am not sure what your motive was or point, in that post. i don't read hearts :)
It is a little discouraging that i got such a quick response telling me what it meant to keep the Commands, but no answer to my question at all; concerning salvation. i don't want anyone thinking that they are saved by their works. No synergism in any way! Rather, We are Regenerated by GOD and Given a New Heart walking in good works, by The HOLY SPIRIT, prepared beforehand . MONERGISM

I am not in favor of eating unclean animals, but I can see in all of your videos that you have a strong tendency to preach about following the law more than following Jesus. Interesting.
I am all about obeying God's commandments. It's not only an act of worship, but it's for our benefit. At the same time, we cannot gain access to God through good deeds.
Be careful not to put all your trust in following the law. If that's the case, you don't need Jesus - and then - you lose everything, including the law. Because we follow Jesus, we keep the law, but not the other way around.
You are right, but God said that the only way to show love for him it's by following the law.
None of those verses are talking about clean and unclean foods. Reread them and pray for understanding, read the entire chapters in context.
@@dailybread2708 It is included.
by following the laws are you not following him? He talks about what is most relevant in this day and age
If we love him we keep his commandments.
Now I see. This is a video I did not know I needed. The Bible is the answer to solving an array of health problems many Christians have and much are due to diet. Thank you so much for your insight and research.
Thanks lex !!! Happy sabbath!!! You have become part of our sabbath my wife and I are part of a fellowship that keeps Gods sabbath!!!

Congratulations!!! I used to live with my past partners before marriage until I got saved ..my now husband knew how I felt about disobeying God....and he asked me to marry him...We have been married for 9 years....Praise Good
Lex Meyer this video has changed my life and actually made me change my ways I now eat kosher I am shocked at the lies we were taught good work and may YESHUA keep using you for his GLORY GOD BLESS BROTHER.
After reading all the comments it seems to me that everybody is contradicting what the Bible says or looking at it the way they want to see
I know. This is a way the true God will seperate those that are of him and those that love worldly pleasures.
They are forgetting about Peters vision and multiple verses that talk about how that law was for the people at that time only.
Read the bible again. When the laws are given they are set Forever. It says it many many times. Do this forever. For all time. For all your generations.
Nothing in the new testiment refutes this.
Yeshua even said in Matthew that He did not come to abolish the law, but to make it full.
TheProdigalSon so the whole law needs to be kept? Are you sure what about all the laws in regards to stoning?
@@bluemeadows7520 if you live in a society based on the law of God, stoning would be an acceptable punishment for certain sins.
However we do not live by levitical law in any country in the world.
Therefore we are under the restrictions of mans law. Much like the Jews were under the restrictions of Roman law in Jesus day.
There are many laws under our current world structure That cannot be followed.
For instance, there is no temple and no levitical priesthood So we cannot follow the clenliness and sacrificial laws.
Many crime and punishment laws in the Torah require a priest to pass judgment, so those laws cannot be followed. (Stoning falls under this section)
So we learn Yahweh's Law and follow it according to our current situation. It's called obedience and it is the foundation of the Christian belief.
The bible doesn't disagree with itself, if the entire law and prophets are about understanding and being obedient to Yah's commands, how can the new testiment put an end to it?
If you think something in the New testiment ended the Commands that stand forever, then you are trusting your own understanding above the word of God. It's a precarious situation I am glad to no longer be in.
Do some studying. Start in exodus. Read Gods commands. See how they apply to your walk. See how Salvation through Christ leads us directly into obeying the Fathers commands.
Obedience can only lead To blessings.
Shalom

Deuteronomy 14
1-21 gives a huge list of clean or unclean animals. It even names them.
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way. 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. But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. ( Romans 14:13-15 )
Excellent video I've come across more controversy with this law alone than any, and usually have difficulty explaining it. Thank you for simplifying the law so I can spread the truth all the further!

Thank you for bringing up scriptures in their entirety.
This helps and helps confirm Truth of not my word, but Yah’s.
Well, I have to admit that this indeed blessed me. Wow. I have clarity about this now to a degree. A degree I did not previously have nor discern. Thank you. Thank you so much!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! And more importantly, thank Yeshua for all that he does! 😀 I'm trying to educate my mom. HalleluYah!!!
Are you a Jew? No? Then eat whatever you like. Because unless your'e Jewish, the kosher food laws do *not* apply to you no matter what this ill-informed mis-leader says. Bon appétit!
Thank you! Your teaching is what I needed to hear, when explaining this to a friend. I am in California right now, but I have some amazing friends that attend your church. Soon, hopefully my husband and I can visit your church. God bless you.

Hi @unlearnthelies...what bible do you recommend? I have the complete Jewish study bible.
Thank you Bother this means a lot to me to hear the Faith from you because i hear from lukewarm Half Backed Christians who say this a lot but we just need to help them to understand that God does NOT CHANGE when God says what he says thats what he means.
Lukewarm? Halfbacked?? Ok maybe there's a point here. But it doesn't matter if u've been keeping this ur whole life. If ur heart isn't right towards the Lord or ur brethren, u are far from God. Don't think of urself higher than others because u keep all these. Remember the rich young ruler.
Sorry for being salty, but it's all worth looking at
“Even that question came up only because of some so-called believers there-false ones, really -who were secretly brought in.

But we refused to give in to them for a single moment. We wanted to preserve the truth of the gospel message for you.”

Thank you for sharing this. To date I haven't given any thought to this subject but obviously I need to study the Bible more. My only desire is to please God.
Thanks for the video! I stopped eating unclean and abominable meats about a year ago, most people think I’m crazy.
We need proteins so we can stay alive ;))
Mr. Troll, yep that’s why I eat the clean meats the Bible teaches.
They give interpretations and say it is by inspiration and I ask myself, with how many inspirations will this bible be interpreted? Was it not already written by inspiration? Then, so many inspirational interpretations afterward, bringing up more traditions... Thank you for this piece. May Yeshua continue to give you the wisdom to unlearn more of these traditions.

“I’ve never met anyone who wants to eat a vulture or a bat” then you’ve never lived in 2020 😏
awesome job!!! i been teaching this same teaching for years. when i became a believer in Yeshua i would ask myself Did yeshua ever eat unclean meats NO! Did he ever give us an example of him eating unclean meats? NO! Yeshua never gave one example of him eating anything unclean! if Yeshua ate swine he then wouldve broke the law that he said he came to fulfill and not destroy. To all christians Yeshua gave us examples of what he ate i advise u to follow the same. we wouldnt have to depend on doctors and their pharmaceutical drugs if we followed the law of Yeshua. let this mind be in you as it was in Yeshua.
I wish that were totally so. However unfortunately we cannot and do not raise all our foods icluding live stock like in biblical times according to Leviticus. Thankfully some changes were brought above in live stock farming in the U.S.A. like using less antibiotic or hormone use in the last decade or so. Free range, a contemporary craze, probably was the normal according to Leviticus.
rabbinical kosher laws became more extreme. However there are benefits for all people eating kosher foods. Lev. and Deut.certainly clearly describe and note which animals are clean and which combinations are acceptable

you are confused. Jesus was a JEW under the Law Contract of Moses with its dietary laws (Galatians 4:4) -- NT Believers are not under the temporary Law Contract of Moses, we are under the original Faith Contract of Abraham who could eat anything he wanted according to Genesis 9:3. Read Galatians 3:14-26 for a witness. that is why Paul said that ALL food is PURE/CLEAN for NT Believers to eat (Romans 14:20), because our food is purified by our prayer of thanksgiving (1Timothy 4:1-5).
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way. 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.

What do you make of this verse "And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:"
They were ministering to Jews then. The food would have been kosher.
May God bless you for bringing that important message . I've learnt so much brother about what I should eat.
Thank you for this. I never knew this until I started seeing posts on ig about it. Now I know and have a better understanding of it. 😃
Hi Lex thanks for this lesson, it helps strengthens my faith in what I am do as I myself have started eating Kosher after a lifetime of eating unclean items. I have heard other persons teach that when Jesus died and rose again that he fulfilled the law so now it doesn't apply. Would ypu be able to point me to the scriptures that address this?
Do you know how animals suffer when slaughtered in kosher?
I myself I do eat and follow leviticus diet, its not kosher, but I don't call animals unclean,but its not necessarily to eat every thing,we are doing enough damage eating animals our companion on this earth, am grateful Gd allowed us to eat same but be humane and merciful to animals wether eating or preparing them.
Most Animals are used as experiments for our benefits in medical research. Calling animals unclear and use them in experiments for benefits is like they have entered in our food chain through medical.
Excellent presentation &. Very well backed up by scriptures. Years ago when I first decided to obey TMH’s laws, It was hard for me at first to give up shrimp & pork. However, my zeal to please the great “ I Am” reinforced my commitment to follow his dietary laws. The clean VS unclean restrictions are not only biblical, but also scientifically sound in terms of health & well being. I have noticed more than a few improvements in my health since I started following TMH’s dietary laws.
Romans 14:14. This guy is deceived
I come from a farm, I have seen a pig. It isn't food.
Thank you for your honest, humble, and God-centered reply on this topic, Lex. I am moving into a primarily plant-based diet for multiple reasons, and God really spoke to me through this video about it. Thank you!

Love the Lord your God, and love your neighbor as yourself. Against such things, there is NO law.
Of course there is no law against those things, they are the foundation of the Torah. All of the commandments hang on those two commandments.
Exactly....if you love God you'll keep his commandments
I'm not an expert on The Bible , but i know for a fact that Jesus said when questioned about this very subject : Nothing you eat can make you unclean. for me this is where the debate ends. Thank you and God bless !!

@@aspire7860 That is a really good question.I myself will need to look into this as I don't know either.
Thank you for this teaching. I was taught wrong and I believed Acts 10 and 11 spoke about being able to eat pig and unscaled fish. All these years I've believed wrong
If you believe what this man says you believe wrong. Nobody is going to judge me about what I eat or do not eat. The dietary laws of the old testament did not apply to the gentile believers. As Paul said nothing is unclean in itself. It is sanctified by prayer and thanksgiving. What God has cleansed no one should call common or unclean. Jesus made it clear that is not what goes into our mouths that defiles us, because it goes into the stomach. But what comes out of our mouths, because it comes from the heart. As Jeremiah said the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. I thank God I can eat pork and prawns etc. Because I have been set free in Christ. The Galatians had been bewitched or blinded by malicious magic. Because false teachers had said they must be circumcised. It was another gospel or spirit of divination. The same applies today. Those who say must not eat this or that. Are preaching another gospel, or blinded by malicious magic.
@@samlawrence2695i agree with you, the whole message of Jesus is very simple at the end of the day. It’s what comes from the heart. The more I talk with people that are boastful about knowing every single verse in the bible, the more I realize that they simply like to judge people.
I love you-found your channel around 3 years ago & it helped familiarize me with God + his only begotten son.
I am far from perfect, but (with your help) have come to understand & observe the biblical food laws for years now.
I did make the mistake of eating Cod ‘fish’ when blindly trusting the rabbinical authorities-“cycloid scaling” is the key to clean fish. A fish that has limited scaling around the fins like Tuna or Cod is not clean because it does not have “cycloid scales” like salmon, mahi mahi, & carp.
Thank you for all that you do, and may you & your family remain blessed forevermore.
Sad that you have fallen from the FREEDOM of Grace and put yourself back under the temporary Law Contract of Moses (read Galatians 5:4, Romans 8:1-3). *Messiah Jesus was the END of the Law Contract of Moses* (read Romans 10:2-4, Galatians 3:19, 2Corinth 3:3-11). *The NT Church is under the original Faith Contract of Abraham/Jesus* (read Galatians 3:13-26) -- *therefore, like Abraham* (Genesis 9:3), *NT Believers can eat anything that they so desire* (1Timothy 4:1-6). *NT Believers are RIGHTEOUS without the deeds of the Law Contract* -- read Romans 3:28, Acts 13:37-39, Galatians 2:14-16, Hebrews 10:14, 2Corinth 5:21
@@veritasmuy2407 if the desire is to eat something that is not defined as ‘food’-why not question the source of the desire?
Clay bricks are not food, yet we could choose to eat them & still live under grace-same is true of bottom feeders of the sea or swine / rodents of the land or the vultures of the air.
Question why anyone would want to eat non-food. Many blessings on your path 📈
Hi Lex. I find your videos informative and believe that they can be a help to many people. I have been saved since 1988 and I am still learning.
Regarding foods, what are your thoughts about 1 Timothy 4:1-6?
Deut. 17:6? I think Peter and Paul confirm the message clearly. I wonder how meat is being defined? Is Paul in 1 timothy saying that the deception that would take place would be to avoid vegetables and things that are beneficial to us? Read Gen 1:29. KJV says meat while other translate this as food. Im seeking to learn as you are Nocturnal. Be blessed!
Paul in 1 Timothy 4:1-6 is speaking in prophetic terms about "later times" (meaning our times). The key of understanding what the issue being addressed is verse 3: "They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth." Do you know a certain church that forbids its priests to marry and tell people to abstain from meat on certain days? There is no such teaching in the Bible (Peter, the supposed 1st pope was married). These are human tradition, “deceiving spirits and things taught by demons” that’s what I think Paul is talking about here.
@@Gheorghe99 Thanks for your view. This has been my thoughts on this passage of Scripture. Being born and raised Roman Catholic and saved at 28 from a belief that teaches works salvation. These are the things we were taught all our lives. Praise Jesus that salvation is in Him and Him alone. And I praise Him that my wonderful wife followed soon after, being born-again less than a year later. Our God is so good!
Thank you for your explanation about eating
I am also a Messianic believer but I am all alone in my place. I feel like a new breed.
Are you a seventh day adventist? No problem if you are. You teach a lot like they do. I enjoy talking to them and agree with them alot.
The fundamental misunderstanding with much of this here is that the New Covenant in Jesus Christ completely replaced the Old. It is the New Covenant. To ask the question, "Which parts of the Old Testament are still in the New?" while sincere, is a wrong-headed question to ask.
The New Covenant in Jesus has its own concepts, teachings, philosophy, and way of life. Of course, there are many similarities because it is the same God who gave both. But if we're going to ask the question if Christians can eat what was called unclean meat, you have to find that instruction in the New Testament, not go off what the Old Testament said.
The New Testament never teaches that Christians are to follow Old Testament dietary standards, anymore than that Christians have to follow Old Testament cleanliness laws. The same logic that is being used to say Christians need to follow Old Testament dietary law could easily be applied to cleanliness laws. But I don't see them doing that.
The Law is a schoolmaster that brought us to Christ. We are in Christ now, not the law.
Amen !
Thank you Lex for clearifying my doubt.
About pork meat, THINK PEOPLE! YAHSHUA SENT THE LEGION OF DEMONS IN THOSE POOR PIGGIES. THINK YAHSHUA DID NOTHING WITHOUT SPIRITUAL MEANING
M.& L.A. It goes even deeper than that💗 Yeshua was also dealing with the Jews that were breeding and selling pigs for meat! Not to the Jews but to the non Jews! It says in the Torah not to lead your brothers to sin, pigs are great they are a remarkable creation they eat all the heavy metals harmful parasites etc and toxins this is not pooped out so they fertilisers and they till the ground for crops they are amazing machines all the bad stuff goes into their meat.
The Jews that were selling these pigs for meat would have have a lesson 101 that piggies are unclean and they would have been convicted, and I bet some fell on their faces and other would have been very angry as Yeshua ended their income in one go! These would have been the entire heard of pigs not a few it would have been a massive lesson, Yeshua always has more that one thing going on!
Piggies are great BUT they are not for eating 💗
@@And-gw8iz , for me, and it is a personal choice, is not for fill my stomach any slaughtered creature. From 3 years. And when i saw last year and this year here on TH-cam what's behind the closed doors in meat ( last year), diary and egg industry ( this year), i realized that i made good to renounce to meat . Milk (almost i didn't drink) and eggs , i have now from time to time from a friend who has goat and chickens, part of chickens, just for eggs.
As about poor piggies ( which i love them too bcz they are also feel pain, joy, fear), it is also a deep spiritual meaning which i let you to discover through meditation , plus the key word in that story with the legion and piggies. Word, that i believe Ruach ha'Qodesh showed me this year.
Be baruk/ blessed, love M.
M.& L.A. Yes also myself have been on a journey of what is going on with our food system! It is very shocking!!!
We have our own chickens and grow our own food. It is a process and to be aware that the powers are messing with food, but Yeshua does lead us and it’s important to listen to him on food matters.
I’m also looking into medication also...... it’s a minefield where I’m glad that Father takes us through step by step.
I would like a pig 🐖 to till and clean the ground and soil I grow in💗 but my garden is too small sadly. One day I hope to be able to have a farm to clean up food for our family and others that Fathers brings us. X
@@And-gw8iz Thank you, you answered my questions on what to do with the pig in my freezer I've been unsure of. God bless you and keep you.

Wow 😮 thank you brother!!! God bless you and the work you are doing for the kingdom of God. May God richly bless your ministry.
what a great source of truth thank you for helping me see some of the lies ive been taught and making the changes needed.
Thanks for sharing this information. Glad I came across your TH-cam
I was woken by Yahweh and have had a strong conviction not to eat pork. This has been a hard conviction and it also applies to shellfish and meat with milk products. I have had times that I really want them and others will be eating them and I will not eat at all because I know in my heart that it is sin. I am starting to regain my health and thinking better. When we make the big changes for God he blesses us greatly. Thank you for the video that I can share with other so they will understand why I am doing this. God bless you
Have you also begun to forgive a Yeshua forgave, love as Yeshua loved, and serve as Yeshua served?
Very edifying segment.
Blessings in Jesus mighty name 🙏
Thanks for this video. Compelling, however will do more of my own research on this one. If indeed I arrive at the same conclusion then will need to make some changes in my eating habits.
Romans 14 : 17-21
17For the kingdom of God is not [a matter of] eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in [the] Holy Spirit.
18For whoever serves Christ in this way [is] pleasing to God and approved by men.
19So then, let us pursue what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
20{Do} not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All [food is] clean, but [it is] wrong for a man to let his eating be a stumbling block.
21[It is] better not to eat meat [or] drink wine [or to do anything] [to cause] your brother to stumble.
So if what I eat causes another believer to sin, I will never eat meat again as long as I live-for I don’t want to cause another believer to stumble.
you got it right , some of the Laws like food were put to follow and learn the difference between healthy and not healthy while at the same time to later realize the differences later on however if the Pharisees kept the Laws but were close to hypocrite demons would have them keeping the Laws being faithful to God ? even though they were the best that kept the Laws and also were the Temple Masters , This is how some people do not comprehend and refuse to because even though there are Laws and God gave Humanity the free will while also given it the brain the Spirit and the decision making therefore no one in his right mind today would want to eat certain foods and the proof that if Christians followed the food law no fish would have been left and the strange thing how about chicken then ? As much as there is the Laws as much as God created you with a brain and a soul and mind to as much as you read the Book word for word as much as it is also in Parallel universe of understanding this is why you have the free will along with a mind that you can process through faith between right and wrong . It seems Christians are still at their infancy while some Christians are hypocrites . All the best to you . hehehh i am righteous because i keep the laws hehehh
Most Christians are hypocrites they constantly point the fault of others and if they want to keep the Laws of the food or any one or two laws then why not all the Laws then ? and if so then they should know that even association with others that do not keep the law is not kosher and they should not be in the same Nation as them nor they should be allowed in their own nor behave like them , hypocrisies at their best . If they want to keep the Law then they should keep all of it because what is the difference between the ten commandments and the Law(s) . Even in Israel there are Prisons so keeping the Law or not keeping it within the faith is non relevant to the conduct and behavior through faith and thinking what the Good Spirit of the creator would sees in our behavior and thinking and that said i am in no way nor righteous nor holy
i agree with you brother....everything he sad i mostly agree however the food i don not agree at all special pork(my ribs).
"All *food* is clean.... " And what did God say *is* to be considered food and *is not* to be considered food? All *food* is clean. But to say that something we are told not to eat is food just because *we* consider it food in our culture is not to divide the word correctly.
Leviticus 11:46-47
"This is the law regarding the animal and the bird, and every living thing that moves in the waters and everything that swarms on the earth, to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the edible creature *and the creature which is not to be eaten."*
Paul, a jew, said not to destroy the work of God for the sake of food. Question: Did Paul consider any creature God specifically said not to eat as 'food'? Or was Paul talking about things God said we could eat when he used the word 'food'? Clean animals could become unacceptable if they died of themselves or if they were sacrificed to an idol. For this reason some people avoided meat from the market because they were worried it had been sacrificed to an idol...instead they only ate vegetables.
Ezekiel 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."
Wow!!! Thank you so much!!
Now I know it for sure.
Be blessed.

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way. 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. But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. ( Romans 14:13-15 )
Lex, what translation of the Bible do you use?
I usually read from the NKJV, but occasionally I use others.
@@unlearnthelies Me too! Thanks Lex!
Thank you for teaching us through the gospel what the truth is vrs. the lies that we were taught growing up and even afterwards until now. May YAH bless you. :)
Wow, thank you. Eating forbidden food is like eating the apple. I may be wrong but the "do not eat food" is or are created to clean the earth and not to eat it for ourselves.
Glad you found this video helpful
That is a very dangerous illustration, I would highly recommend going back to the beginning. You are pretty much saying that when someone eats a "forbidden food" you are undoing what Christ did on the Cross, ouch! again, go back to the beginning.

Thank you so much for this video🥺❤️ helps me explain why eating unclean food is wrong
seriously ?? Galatians 3:14-26 clearly teaches that the arrival of the Jewish Messiah was the END of the temporary Law Contract of Moses (including dietary laws) -- NT Believers have returned to the original Faith Contract of Abraham (no dietary laws, Rom 5:13-14) -- Abraham was under Genesis 9:3 and could eat ANY meat. That is why Paul taught that ALL meat is "katharos"/clean/pure for NT Believers to eat; and it is those with weak faith that do not understand this liberty (Romans 14). Please read these verses within their context and find the original Greek meanings instead of just following a false teacher that "sounds right" (Acts 17:11)
@@veritasmuy2407 Thank you! Waaaaa!!
The problem with using Paul's letters as an argument to proclaim the food laws aren't necessary anymore is that his letters were often a reply to an issue going on in those specific congregations, so it is very tempting for the carnal mind to interpret what he says the wrong way. As Paul said, it is naturally hostile against God's laws because it is incapable of subjecting itself under His authority.
The HaChiMaKi the other problem is interpreting anything Paul says in a way that does not jive with the rest of the bible. It checks itself, we just have to read it.
It’s very convenient that that only applies to others and not us but everything you agree with applies to us

Your a blessing to True Christians thank you for telling them the Truth.
I think you can also make mention of the scientific reasons which back up these biblical provisions about not eating the unclean meat as defined by the Holy Bible. It would be most interesting. There is plenty of scientific evidence against the consumption unclean meats which are explicitly defined by the Holy Bible. Most of that research is well documented by the Seventh-Day Adventist church.
MY EYES THANKS HAS BEEN OPENED!!!!
Thank you for providing me some clarity on this concern that I've been trying to find for days
Acts 15 dealt with this issue. Gentiles were accepted by God as they were. He didn’t expect them to take on Jewish diet and circumcision.
18And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, 19since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?”f(Thus he declared all foods clean.)
That’s not actually in the Bible. Someone put that there for a “modern translation “
Amen. Thank you for bringing this to light. Every follower of Jesus needs to know this.
Searth for the ebionites.
Every believer in God, not just Christians.
All I want to say..:
“Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations- “Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,” which all concern things which perish with the using- according to the commandments and doctrines of men? These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.”
Colossians 2:20-23 NKJV
So, you conclude Paul is here speaking about laws about unclean meat? Lets see: 1)"according to the commandments and doctrines of men?" why would he call Gods commandments the doctrines of men? Right off the bat we see he is talking about Pharacies and their man made laws. 2)"These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion" Why would Paul call keeping the Gods law a "self-imposed religion", which includes himself? (see Acts 24:14)
Quoting is easy but understanding is something else, God gave you an inquiring mind...............
Hey Lex, I have a question in regard to keeping a kosher diet. I've been doing some research about Kosher and something that has come up is that it's forbidden to eat meat and dairy together. From what I have read all sources cite Exodus 23:19, which says "You are not to boil a young goat in its mother's milk". I'm unsure how they interpreted this verse as meaning meat and dairy together are forbidden. Can you help me make sense of this?
Respect your Holy Bible knowledge that you have. God blessed you.
This was an excellent video Lex. However, I was just hoping that you would talk about John the Baptist eating locusts *(the fruit)* in the desert this seems to be another point of confusion among Christians, as there are locusts that are fit or clean for consumption.
I wish I would have thought to include that.
Great point. Also honey...it comes from the unclean bee. Many who are against the eating of honey claim that honey in Hebrew actually means tree sap. It doesn't hold up when we look at Samson, though...
18:34 WOAH!!!
That’s Big stuff I never thought about yet I knew.
Brother Lex thank you for being and teaching me in such a way that didn’t harden up my heart.
This helps me tremendously and humility is all that’s left.

I have received an enormous amount of wisdom and insight from the Lord about his word and Kingdom living. I don't have a video page on TH-cam because I understand that if you are going to preach publicly you are going to be held accountable for every word you speak to people and your causing them to stumble will be held against you all you need to do is read the word to see that what I'm telling you is true.
