What Can We Eat?

[Orr v'emet]

Island: Your stories sound vaguely familiar to many of the stories that my husband has told. He grew up overseas in a missionary family. He had to endure many meals of things that he didn't know what they were. I think the thing that sticks out to him the most was cow artery. It makes him sick to his stomach to this day to think about it. And who said missionaries had it bad????

Replying to What We can Eat?

If I recall correctly this question did develope into a long debate, that crash in the end.

Everyone has there own reasoning for what it is they do.

G-D is Holy. For us to live a Holy life like G-d. Then we should respect what He has written in the OT.

It is my understanding that some believe the coming of Jesus Christ changed His Father's writings in the OT.

So believer's could eat what ever they wanted to. If this is so, where in the NT does Jesus tell His disciples what it is they can eat to lead a Holy life.?

Being a child of G-D is one thing, being a Holy child of G-d, is a whole different story.

For the record - I hardly ever eat pork.

Remember the thread where people were debating what we should and shouldn't eat?  It turned into quite the debate!

I don't know if anyone mentioned this scripture (I don't remember seeing it).  To me, it resolves the matter with unquestionable clarity. 

"Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.  For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.  If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed."  1 Timothy 4:1-6

I'm not trying to beat a dead horse... I'm just not telling you that you can't eat it!

"and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified by the word of God"

Ever tried eating a puffer fish? It'll kill you stone dead. It is not sanctified by the word of God which is a requirement clearly stated in the quoted scripture.

Should we not only eat things that are sanctified by the word of God?

I've had squirrel, coon, and rabbit all and they were good! I love chicken and beef livers also. However, I can't bring myself to go on the Jed Clampett diet, lol!

I would not worry too much about what you are eating so long as you are eating a balanced low fat diet.

and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
