Deuteronomy 14:3-20

[BeauJangles]

For those who are considering consuming other than the usual Thanksgiving turkey, here are some scriptures concerning making other choices. Most commonly across America, some families prefer ham on their tables. Following is an article. The festivities have already begun.

Note: This is not to be considered condemnation by any means. This is simply for your information. 

P.S. I hope this copy/pastes well. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.  

 

Deuteronomy 14:3-20 KJV 3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing. 4 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, 5 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois. 6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat. 7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you. 8 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.  9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat: 10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you. 11 Of all clean birds ye shall eat. 12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, 13 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind, 14 And every raven after his kind, 15 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, 16 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan, 17 And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant, 18 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. 19 And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten. 20 But of all clean fowls ye may eat.   News Release Morris Meat Packing Recalls Pork Products Produced Without Benefit of Inspection Class I Recall 116-2019 Health Risk: High Nov 21, 2019     Congressional and Public Affairs Mitch Adams (202) 720-9113 FSISpress@usda.gov     WASHINGTON, Nov. 21, 2019 – Morris Meat Packing, a Maywood, Ill. establishment, is recalling approximately 515,000 pounds of various raw, intact pork products that were produced without the benefit of federal inspection and outside inspection hours, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.  The raw, intact pork items were produced on Saturdays from November 25, 2017 to November 9, 2019.

You're most welcome, and thanks for responding. It's not exactly a 'thread-grabber', and no doubt isn't going very far either. But could be a concern for members in this general area. I just thought if those who enjoy their Honey Glazed Ham dinners might look out for this. According to the article, refrigerated and/or freezer items are already suspected in numerous American homes.

Hardly anything is safe anymore. Eggs, milk, and dairy, lettuce, and other produce. Just about everything is becoming questionable about their safety for consumption. Just to note, one site on this recall mentioned bats were found in amongst the pork in this processing company. I couldn't copy/paste from that one, and had to choose one that was more user friendly. 

No one knows to what reputable brands could have purchased this cooperation. Oscar Meyer, Farmer John, Jimmy Dean, Hormel, and others.  515,000 pounds is a lot of swine released on the population. I didn't take the time to research whether the companies I've named raise their own hogs or not. Maybe some do. Anyway, thanks again for the interest. At least the title of the topic will get some attention out there. God bless.

Amen brother.

We are truly in God's hands at every front. We rely on his divine protection for the entirety of our lives. We are at his mercy and stand upon his promises!

Hopefully this will make many aware of the dangers, and also Thankful for God's divine protection this thanksgiving season.

Isaiah 54:17 no weapon forged against you will prevail.....

Psalm 91....He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day....

2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.a

Psalm 3:3 But you, O Lord, are a shield about me.....

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

May we all be cautious and thankful!!!?

To the Israeli the list of 'food' does not include pig and a few others.

I stopped pig years ago and my health improved. Plus oysters and shell-fish always gave me sickness. So I looked up the food laws/guidelines and found them 'palatable' (pun intended).

Pork, hog, boar, javelina, or peccary. It's all pig to me. 

 

1. Peccary - Wikipedia

   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peccary

   

   A peccary (also javelina or skunk pig) is a medium-sized pig-like hoofed mammal of the family Tayassuidae (New World pigs). They are found throughout Central and South America and in the southwestern area of North America.

I've heard many mention an improvement of overall health by observing a 'law abiding diet'. Sounds perfectly fine to me.

It's better not to eat pork for sure. All meat is bad the way it is process. I do eat meat. But I feel better when I dont. The way cattle was in ancient days was a lot healthier. They killed the animal and fix it the same day to eat. But it's not a sin to eat any type of meat. The law of unclean meats was for Isarel under the old covenant.

Well, I'm going to be the odd man out.  We had an early Thanksgiving last Friday, the 22.  Twenty-six people and we all had baked ham.  It was delicious.  AND turkey.

Bacon is a staple at my house and many houses I know.  Christians can partake of any food.  But it is wise to be selective and careful how you prepare any and all foods.
