I am a 7 year, stage four, cancer survivor. Cancer just could be one of those "diseases of the gentiles". When we were given the dietary laws, we were told we would be spared from these diseases if we followed His instructions on food. It hardly seemed righteous to me to pray for healing as ate shellfish and pork. So I obey the food laws and thank my Heavenly Father for my continued health.
Congrats on your 7 yr survival. I hope it encouraged you to know I have lived 20 yrs with stage 4 cancer. I truly believe it is prayers, especially of my mother, that I survive. Wishing you many healthy years.
Shalom. Wow. Your testimony created goosebumps on me. I am learning but not so enthusiastic about dietary law. I am already rejected by my born again friends and husband because of Saturday Sabbath. So I am thinking I cannot push myself so much into this. I am not sure anymore. But whatever God want me to do, if it's His will for me and the kids, I will obey. Pray for me please. We're coming from asian family which traditionally eat many exotic animals apart from shellfish and pig. 🙏🏻😊
I remember when He revealed to me that Leviticus 11 applied to me. I was a lobster and shrimp loving New Englander, who also enjoyed a good crispy bacon cheeseburger now and then. I haven’t touched any of them since, nor have I missed them in the least. I’m much happier lovingly obeying Him than satisfying my carnal appetites. Excellent teaching, as always. Shabbat shalom!
I found beef bacon to be an amazing substitute. Has the smoked flavor with more substance in the bite! Has a similar fatty cracked that turkey doesn't. I'm not a huge fan of chicken and turkey, but a huge part of the word is.
@@michaelsterling8065 If I was still eating meat, I would probably go for it, but at this stage, I only eat eggs that my ducks, who I feed very wholesomely, give me. That and the cheese I make, and milk I get from my goats (who I would never eat, even though they are clean and totally acceptable as food). My garden grows profusely and I thank Yah every day for His provisions that don’t come from a grocery store. Not that I don’t shop in stores, but as minimally as absolutely necessary, and mostly for the animals and things for the homestead He led me to.
@@joanneadamovich8114 Very good point. Avoiding eating dairy and meat together is man's law, not Yahweh's. The food laws given by Yahweh in the Torah are still relevant.
Too busy looking for what we want instead of understanding HIS Torah is Love and yields the best life possible which is what HE wants for us..... if we'd only listen, and do...
@@sallylawson6742 Christian occurs 3 times in the bible. None of them are good references. That aside being a Christian should be visible by Following HIS example by following HIS footsteps 1 Pet 2:21, imitating HIM like Paul 1 Cor 11:1, and walking as HE walked 1 Jhn 2:6. By this they would know us by our fruits. Sadly "the church" tends to teach it is impossible to walk like Christ, and trying to do so is backsliding. Hope everyone can see how unbiblical that is... because that's why "born again" is necessary, and once "born again" all things are possible with Christ who strengthens us Phil 4:13. Like a stop sign if Jesus stopped at it others still must stop at it even more because of HIS example 1 Pet 2:21. Same with The Law... HE walked it as our example not to do away with part of HIMSELF The Word become flesh. May HE bless us all with eyes that see, ears that hear, and hearts that understand.
A VERY CLEAR TEACHING THANK YOU - I had a discussion recently with someone who believes its acceptable to God to eat whatever you like- that is pork bacon etc - you've explained it better than I did - I will show them this teaching and hope they receive it.
119 ignores some more weighty scriptures that defeat their doctrine. First, prior to the law and after the flood, God told Noah: “…Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs…” - Genesis 9 For hundreds of years all the way up till the law was given after the exodus God had no restrictions on diet. The next part of scripture 119 ignores is the first church council of Jerusalem that is recorded in the book of Acts. What was the reason for the first church council? The argument was over whether Gentiles were required to follow the law of Moses or not. This council was headed up by Peter, James and John and all the elders of Jerusalem. All of these men were believing Jews. If there was any part of the law that Gentiles were to follow this would be the men to say so. They had the authority to set the gentile church in order. What did they conclude? No, Gentiles did not have to follow the law. And this wasn’t just written about in Acts 15, but also in Acts 21 where James and the elders tell Paul to be purified in the temple and let the other Jews see that he keeps the law. Verse 25 is the clincher: “…but concerning the gentiles, who believe, we have written, and decided that they should observe no such thing…” Acts 21:25 To say Christians are supposed to follow dietary restrictions is to ignore scripture.
@@onehappydawgif i remember correctly, they have addressed each of the issues you listed on other videos :) if not all, then most. but i remember watching them in the past.
@@fRances.L I have been following 119 for years and I know they haven’t. They have discussed the first church council but not with the other passage I mentioned later in acts. If you are going to teach a doctrine you have to include all verses pertaining to that subject. 119 does not, at least in this particular matter
@onehappydawg The Jerusalem council addresses whether gentiles could worship alongside jews. As far as Genesis 9, this isn't about clean or unclean. It was about introducing a carnivore diet into the human diet, since, if you notice previously, they had not been given instruction to eat animals at all.
I would suggest the following reading Leviticus 11, Deuteronomy 14, and for the "Christians that think that the Old Testament was done away with,, Matthew 5:17-20. Have a blessed day.
Thank you Sir for bringing this up. To me it was very clear what Jesus teached us. The whole food thing seems to be lost in translation. Because when Jesus point out what goes outside of your mouth that is unclean was in response of the people who were more busy and concerns about old traditions of not washing their hands than serving God from the heart. When you compare different Bible translations one where the author says [thus Jesus made all food clean]. But other translations do not say that at all.
The Old Testanent has not been done away with but, rather, revealed more deeply within the New Covenant. Let us honour the best we can the OT yet not fall back under the condemnation of the law which Jesus nullified for all true believers, by His completed mission of grace at the cross and beyond.
John 14:21 Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him." John 14:23 Jesus replied, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. John 15:10 If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and remain in His love. 1 John 2:3 By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments. Etc.
It's been a little over a year since I started keeping Torah. It really made me realize how ubiquitous pork is in American cuisine. Even salads often have bacon bits on them! I also found that glucosamine chondroitin, which I'd taken for bad joints for years, contains shellfish. I stopped taking it and, if anything, my joints feel better than when I took it. Hmmm... "If you guard My commands, I will bless you."
I think it's also beneficial to consider the reasons God has for what he has said…Think about it. God doesn't just make rules to have rules, He has a reason every time. His law's or commandments are all for our protection and benefit. God's instruction concerning food is for our protection as well. Satan wants you to believe God is holding out on you, keeping something good from you. If God said not to eat something do you think He might have a reason? God wants us to be healthy, Satan wants us to be deceived and sick.

@@onehappydawg Really? Then how did Noah know what was clean and unclean? He clearly did, since God instructed him on the number of clean and unclean animals to take on the ark.
The distinction between _akathartos_ and _koinos_ was eye-opening to me! I never knew that these two words had different uses in the New Testament. (This is why it's important for a Christian to have at least a basic grasp of Koine Greek.) Now that I know that Paul, Mark, and Peter weren't abrogating the biblical restrictions on food but rather were pointing out the irrelevant extrabiblical traditions of the Jewish religious elites, I've become firmer in my belief that the dietary regulations of the ceremonial law are relevant to Christians today.
Grace and peace my brothers at 119 ministries. I love the new artwork. I'm glad you guys made a short teaching on this topic. May Yeshua be magnified through your ministry.
thank you Brother for your teachings! They are so relevant to what Jews and Gentiles face in today's world. Be strong and keep on bringing the truth! Blessings and much Shalom!
Bible’s Food Laws are a gift God gave to humanity for mercy. Everybody should fallow the lessons and commandments from God, they are all very good to us.
I found beef bacon to be an amazing substitute. Has the smoked flavor with more substance in the bite! Has a similar fatty cracked that turkey doesn't. I'm not a huge fan of chicken and turkey, but a huge part of the word is.
When i look at my car's owner's manual it specifies what type of oil and fuel to use for optimum performance. Leviticus is our owner's manual from our creator letting us know what fuel (food) is best for us.
Beautiful, I’m myself I tried to follow God’s commandments but be careful when you talk to your friends if is not in love and thinking that you are better believer do not even mention anything, first work in your pride and then teach people what to eat and what to avoid, the Lord bless us and his revelation get us close to him with much intimacy daily.
Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
This video is one of the best I have ever seen in explanation of why we should not eat unclean animals. I never knew about the 2 greek words before and that is what really makes this video something. So good job guys. Also was at Dr Bergs yesterday and a christian asked is it ok to eat sausage? and I replied If it's pork then no read leviticus, but couldn't remember the passage so this video is like a refresher for me too.

119 Address these passages in other videos. Even if there interpretation of Acts 21 is slightly wrong. Yours definately falls on the basis of the verse itself. Ie - those things are directly qouted from the law. Which means the things gentiles do not have to keep are circumcision and the jewish traditions (verse 21) says nothing about not keeping the rest of the law . The whole argument of acts in context was the pharises believed one had to keep the law and traditions, circumcision to be saved, which is wrong understanding because were saved by grace. So Paul and James were trying to defend against there faulty theology. Ie - "We don't keep the law to be saved we keep it because were saved". There are so many passages you have to answer throughout the bible against these few to defend your position but I will let you pray to YHWH about it because I don't have the time or patience for debates on youtube anymore (Titus 3:9 KJV). You don't want to keep Gods law then you will find out what will happen on the day of judgement and I pray to God it's not (Matthew 7:21-23 KJV) I pray he has mercy on you and it's the evangelical brainwashing that prevents you seeing the true light of his law. (Psalm 119:42 KJV) (John 14:6 KJV)@@onehappydawg
I will say one thing we may have in common despite your faulty understanding of the bible. Just looked on your channel and saw a video entitled "Cave man cooking" bit of a Godincedence last night I was researching "The cave man diet" as i'm very much into primitive cooking, bushcraft and how to live a more natural life style. I then declared my self paleo because of my health condition. @@onehappydawg
@@guitarnotator I have been following 119 for many years and have watched many of their videos. I can assure you 119 only addresses the first part of the Jerusalem council and not the second passage that mentions it again. I’m not the one changing scripture. The plain reading of both passages says nothing about Jewish tradition. The first passage says circumcision and the law. Which always means the whole law given at Mount Sinai. In the letter it tells the gentiles to follow four simple things and they do well. You say those are found in “the law”, only if you switch the definition of “the law” to mean all of “Torah” and not the law given at Mount Sinai, which is the context in Acts. The plain reading of Acts 21 is Paul, a Jew, being told to observe a part of the law so the other Jew will see he walks orderly and “keeps the law” Why does James tell him to do this? It’s because the Jews have heard that he teaches Jews who are living among the Gentiles to “forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcised, nor walk according to the customs.” James tells him to follow the law laid out in Leviticus 14, not a tradition. Once again the context is “the law” given at Mount Sinai after the exodus. In this same context James says we have written and decided they should follow no such thing. This is plain reading in context of the scriptures. I have no problem with a believer that wants to observe the festivals, sabbaths or dietary restrictions. But when you say, believers ought to do these things, now you are a law and going against the New Covenant. The New Covenant is not like the Old Covenant. God made sure that the Old Covenant could not be followed anymore by destroying the earthly temple, in 70AD, needed to follow it. The only “law” we are required to follow now is, Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and your neighbor as yourself. Love is the fulfillment of the law.
Ok keep believing what God called "an abomination" meaning he "utterly detests it" he will change his mind about even know (Malachi 3:6 KJV) states he doen't change about these things. You clearly have no idea what your talking about and as you pesist to try and debate with me even know I said I won't. Even if you do reject the law in the old testament. Your even sinning by what I already stated in (Titus 3:9 KJV) so I will no longer converse with you it's clear to me your just a troll bringing people down who is looking for debates and that in itself shows me you need to seriously repent and get saved. (Matthew 7:16 KJV)@@onehappydawg
Acts 10 was the first scripture a teacher tried to shove down my 11 y/o sons throat when he took a stand in eating biblically according to Deuteronomy. At a “Christian” school none the less. We homeschool now. 🤷♀️ The teacher never bothered to finish reading the scripture to get the whole message. 🤦♀️ I’ll say it like I told the head of academics of the school; everyone’s DNA can be traced back to Adam and Eve. If that’s the case then our cellular structure and anatomy has never changed and there is no evolution of the human body. With this information why do people think those laws no longer apply to them ? Just because Yeshua came doesn’t mean our digestive system changed or evolved. Science has proven that our DNA is traceable back to the first created humans who were created in his image!!! Matt 5:19-I’m trying to teach those around me the truth and it’s hard!!! Sorry, I’m a science nerd with a BSN. I always break it down scientifically.
I hadn't really thought it about it in terms of the human digestive system not changing, but in terms of the genetic structure and proclivities of unclean animals not changing. I now see that viewing it from your aspect is equally important. Thank you for this wisdom and bless your son for standing for the truth! HaSatan continues to use the same deception he used in the Garden of Eden.
Your account of the teacher not reading all the passage shows the dangers inherent with 'proof texting' which seems to be the only way most Christians read the Bible these days. Those wise among the fellowship I am are making sure this doesn't happen. Thanks for sharing, a fellow home educator.
Very good! This is exactly what I teach when sharing the truth with others. Super convenient to have a concise video to share! Thanks! One additional thought on Mark 7, if we consider the reason why the Pharisees kept popping in and trying to trap Him with words, etc... they wanted to kill Him, and their plan was to do the exact same thing they did to Stephen in Acts 6. Get him to say something they could use to declare Him a false prophet so they could kill Him. If He really did tell that group of Pharisees that He was declaring all unclean meats clean... a direct change of the Law of YHWH... they would have stoned Him on the spot, having received exactly what they wete looking for.
@DUB-Track the Bible was written in that different language, you don't have valid challenge, so long as you serve your own desires and stomach you won't be serving God
@@zelxos3360 Romans 14:3 says differently. Just look at the thread where I already addressed a person who is trying to defend your same position. It has prolly 40 responses and is near the newest comments. Go comment there if you want. Cant go over that much conversation again without you seeing what has already been discussed (if you are actually interested).
Yeah, I read that thread and it actually doesn't matter what Rom 14:3 says. If it speaks against God's law, it's a false teaching. So logically it should either be removed from the Bible or the understanding of it being in conflict with the law is wrong.
A passage many Christians fail to realize immediately refutes Romans 14:14 and Mark 7:19 is one specific passage, every Christian should know it to refute antinomianism. *Revelation 18:2* And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every *unclean (akathartos G169) and hated bird!* As you can see, there are unclean birds all the way in Revelation.
Boy, did I waste a lot of time researching this subject. I eat only clean animals now, but those NT verses were never fully answered by me. I have never heard that two different words were translated "unclean." I'm so disgusted with bible translators. It's bad enough that references to Sheol, Gehenna, Tartarus, the grave, and Torments/Paradise, are all translated HELL. Why? It's inexcusable. And all the names of God get commingled, and never translated YHWH. English bible translations are so pathetic that it almost seems like an agenda. Thanks for producing the best exegesis on this subject that I've seen.
In reference to the English bibles, if you haven’t seen the RUclips video “A Lamp In The Dark: The Untold History Of The Bible”, was eye-opening for me! I pray you will glean what Holy Spirit wants you to know. As you had said you thought it was an agenda & you are correct my friend!
Don't forget what was said in verse 21. There was a full expectation that the new, gentile believers would learn more of Gods ways in time. The 4 requirements were important to demonstrate this 'new life' by the Spirit.
@@rickblake3674What exactly is your point on emphasis of verse 21. I dont get the significance. I dont go to synagogue. I assume you dont either. Study like a Bearean has some validity there, but... To study like a Berean doesnt mean to go back and learn the Mosaic laws. They already knew those. It means to see how Christ reveals Himself through scripture. The law of faith is what is revealed.
Romans 1:20 - For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, being understood by what has been made, so that they are without excuse. Understood by what has been made that we are without excuse.... Science will only ever prove YAH. If HE declared all foods clean meant pork then somewhere around 27-33AD we should have historical, and biological evidence of pigs no longer eating their own poop, but we don't. Similarly Hemlock, Jeruselam Cherries, Poison Dart Frogs, Cane toads, Hawkbill Turtles, and Puffer Fish would be completely safe to eat.... but they're not.... and we are as Paul wrote without excuse as we have The Word and the evidence of things not seen. Blessings and Shalom...
Not really... Its a bogus interpretation. Read Acts 15: 5, 10 and 28-29... Is this guy trying to tell me that all OT meats considered unclean are meats that are sacrificed to idols? Be real... I dont eat meat sacrificed to idols.
@@tmish969 No, if you dont know scripture, this person can be misleading. What does the Holy Spirit say in Acts 15:28-29? Its all you need to see to know this guy is misinterpreting the text.
@@DUB-Track we must not skip over verse 21 which shows we are going to learn Moses every Sabbath and that the four requirements are merely in regards as to who can be considered “saved.” In no way did the Jerusalem council toss out YAHUAH’s commandments.
@@tmish969 Interesting. I can show you spots in the OT that say God doesnt like their sabbaths... And is Moses taught? Yes, Deut 31:21 shows that would happen, but that is speaking about Jews. Its obvious they werent tossing away the law, but we are under grace by faith. There are many spots where this is referred to and it doesnt say that the law is to be done away with. Check out Romans 14, which covers the topic of food specifically.
I believe that eating and clean is not one of the lesser laws, but one of the greater ones because eating and clean, makes us an abomination in cusses out at the kingdom. The Bible says not all sins lead to death, but eating and cleaned does!
At least you were correct in as much as they were symbolic, but Scripture is perfect even in symbolism, and God doesn't studder. 2 words, distinct meanings.
Shalom what do you do with Acts 15 ? Also 1 Timothy 4 ? We as gentiles grafted in are put only under 4 parts of the purification laws and food was not one of them ! I do choose to eat clean but if ever I need to eat something unclean it is not a sin ❤ When Noah got off the arc God told him to eat anything that crereps so there is always different instructions all thru out time as is now in this age of grace !
Acts 15 is for new converts. Complete pagan worshipers who would have needed to first start off with the major basics that they would have struggled with. If a drunkard came to your church and he repented you would tell him to abstain from drinking. You wouldn’t off the bat say hey don’t steal when he’s struggling with something else. Eventually you would build that brother up in the truth and grow in wisdom. 1 Tim 4 is talking about watching out for those who would tell you to abstain from foods Yahweh has created for food. You can go back to Leviticus 11 to understand what foods Yahweh created to be received with thanksgiving. Hope that helps.
As a Bondservant of Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, I attempt to follow His words. Especially Matthew 5:17-21 Unfortunately, living in America, it's difficult to live the kosher life. Because, I'm an over the road truck driver. And most places I stop at. Food is cooked in the same place that has unclean foods. It's quite difficult to park a 70 foot rig near a kosher grocery store.
There is nothing in the Bible that says to eat Kosher. The command is to not eat unclean meats, and even better, before sin, we were not to eat any dead flesh. Did you know Seventh-day Adventists, who are mostly vegetarian, live on average 7 years longer? God bless as you try to live for him.
It’s not about eating “Kosher”, it’s about eating Biblically. “Kosher” is an extrabiblical (re: non-biblical) additional characteristic that the jews add onto the food laws. Just eat like the Bible says. If you eat packaged food, just read the ingredients, and make sure things aren’t fried in lard!
That was for the Old Testament and according to St. Peter we are now in the New Testament which does not apply to us. There are few Old Testament are still valid like the Ten Commandments…..
How does Strong's G449 (aniptos) compare to koinais? Strong's uses G449 for "unwashen" in Mark 7:5 (KJV). Can someone here elaborate if these two words have similar definitions?
After prayer for discernment daily for months, suddenly the bacon in my mouth tasted like hot garbage. I "knew" thereafter id been wrong.just as the guilt of looking with lust or having bursts of wrath.
Wow! I had similar experiences. Once I realized that God's law was not annulled, I decided to follow the OT diet law because I wanted to obey God's word. I wondered if I would have a yearning for honey baked ham or barbecued shrimps, but I didn't. Instead, I started smelling uncleanness! Naturally I've had no desire for those unclean foods, and that made me want to follow God's word more thoroughly.
Could you teach on the relevance of what the Bible says in regards to magic.... especially regarding reading it in books ( especially Christian) like the Narnia series etc...
We are told to love God with all our heart, mind and soul and that we be reconciled unto him... If we do what God hates how yet can we say we love him with all our heart, mind and soul as we were commanded to do. Jesus and the disciples taught the law of Moses and Jesus even said your thoughts should be bridled and controlled. If someone pays your fine and the judge frees you it is not so you can continue the crimes that brought upon you the fine. If you are reconciled to the father of whom you were seperated from because of your sinful actions it hardly makes logical sense that you are reconciled to him to continue in those same sinful actions. We are meant to be dead to sin and not living in it - not following two masters but crucifying the fleshly desires and seeking the spiritual The second coming of Yeshua (The Messiah, Christ, Jesus) is coming near, Please all who say they are of Christ read these verses below and seek the truth; the truth that all transgression of the law is sin and none of the laws of Moses were done away with, the truth that Yeshua (Jesus) himself states that he does not abolish any of the laws of his father (he himself is the word, the law and so to say you abide in him yet not all the law makes ye a liar). Read the verses below that speak of God unchanging and of how we are meant to walk as Christ walks and hence following the commandments of God given to Moses including the vast expanse of Leviticus (of course it is believed Yeshua caused for such as blood sacrifices to be finished as he became the atoning sacrifice amongst other factors). If you seek to truly love and serve God, Jesus and the holy spirit in full truth I implore you also seek teachings such as those about Sabbath's from 119 ministries, Jim Staley, Rico Cortes, bill Cloud, brad Scott and others... Another vital and important teaching would also be "Truth or Tradition" by Jim Staley. Any who believe that the words of Paul and others including Yeshua (Jesus) himself change or abolish laws.... I can tell you there are deep contextual understandings required and that many of the verses you have heard have been plucked out leaving the verses that add the necessary context to be sitting in the book - but alongside this there is a deep culture and context in the era the scriptures were written that if you lack the understanding of will cause you to misunderstand the true meaning of the scriptures today with Paul's writing's requiring much of that understanding although if you remember it was false accusations that he was teaching against the laws of Moses and see that it should give you an idea as to how Paul has been misinterpreted by the current churches with many going against the Bible's very verses stating clearly such were false accusations. Remember also that Yeshua (Jesus) actually spoke that even thoughts are counted as to iniquity (sin) and such makes sense if we are to love God with all our heart, mind and soul... We are implored to hold our very thoughts unto his ways and his standards also. May God guide and bless those with open and truth seeking hearts that desire to love him truly to allow them to read these words here and these scriptures and to walk in full repentance as God truly desires 🙏🏽 2 Timothy 2:19 CJB Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, stamped with these words: “The Lord knows his own,” and, “Let everyone who claims he belongs to the Lord stand apart from wrongdoing.” Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 5:17-22 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.' But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire. Mark 9:43-47 CJB If your hand makes you sin, cut it off! Better that you should be maimed but obtain eternal life, rather than keep both hands and go to Gei-Hinnom, to unquenchable fire! And if your foot makes you sin, cut it off! Better that you should be lame but obtain eternal life, rather than keep both feet and be thrown into Gei-Hinnom! And if your eye makes you sin, pluck it out! Better that you should be one-eyed but enter the Kingdom of God, rather than keep both eyes and be thrown into Gei-Hinnom, 1 John 2:3-6 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked. 1 John 5:2-3 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. Malachi 3:6 "For I am the LORD, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law Romans 6:1-2 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? James 2:24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. Matthew 5:48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Mark 7:8-9 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men-the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do." He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition Luke 17:3 ESV Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him Ezekiel 18:30-32 ESV “Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, declares the Lord God. Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin. Cast away from you all the transgressions that you have committed, and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Why will you die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Lord God; so turn, and live.” Messianic Jews (Heb) 6:1-8 CJB Therefore, leaving behind the initial lessons about the Messiah, let us go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of turning from works that lead to death, trusting God, and instruction about washings, s’mikhah, the resurrection of the dead and eternal punishment. And, God willing, this is what we will do. For when people have once been enlightened, tasted the heavenly gift, become sharers in the Ruach HaKodesh, and tasted the goodness of God’s Word and the powers of the ‘olam haba - and then have fallen away - it is impossible to renew them so that they turn from their sin, as long as for themselves they keep executing the Son of God on the stake all over again and keep holding him up to public contempt. For the land that soaks up frequent rains and then brings forth a crop useful to its owners receives a blessing from God; but if it keeps producing thorns and thistles, it fails the test and is close to being cursed; in the end, it will be burned. Acts 3:19 ESV Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out Matthew 4:17 ESV From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” 2 Peter 3:9 ESV The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. Matthew 3:8 ESV Bear fruit in keeping with repentance Revelation 2:5 ESV Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. Ezekiel 18:21-23 ESV “But if a wicked person turns away from all his sins that he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does what is just and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him; for the righteousness that he has done he shall live. Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord God, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live? Colossians 3:5-6 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
“…Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm………..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 chapter 1 - 4
So your group keeps the entire law of Moses? Old wine and old bottles? I’m just curious. I didn’t know groups existed that mixed these two areas. This was a new one for me.
well remember this same thing happened in pauls day too the Galatians were brought under the law again by the jews it happens when people forget that Jesus Fulfilled the Law now the Law is written on our hearts But we have to show mercy and grace to people in Love just point back to the Cross and resurrection of Christ they find freedom in Jesus. we have to live in unity and those whose conscience is weak we help them and bare their burden with grace and love but also tell them they don't have to live this way Jesus died to give them freedom from the law he fulfilled everything We couldn't keep the law due to our sin thats why we needed our savior. I know arguing with them though will just cause them to put up their fists and start swinging so just show compassion and point to the Lord For scripture reading to anyone struggling with being under the law again tell them to read the book of Galatians they ran into the same problem! Read Galatians! And then Pray for them to the Lord to help them and rest in the Lord he will take care of them we just take the prayer to him. It concerned me to when i seen the comments as well but then I looked up and remembered Our Lord has been handling situations like this for a very long time it'll be just fine!

What of Colossians 2:16-17 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Don’t let Gentiles judge you for walking in the commandments of Yahweh. I’m not being smug, I have no other way to put it but to ask it in a question. Do you think Paul is really saying don’t let someone judge you for not keeping the sabbath, or not keeping his feast days, or new moons which are basically sabbath days or eating what is clean. These are all eternal laws. The following verses he goes into things that you should not do. Hope that helps.
I understood that Paul was telling the Hebrews that lived in gentile nations to not let them judge them for keeping their laws but people like to use it as that it is giving them permission to do as the heathens and man made traditions.
@@katherineirons6245 yes you could be right. Fair point. I can see him warning those to not let someone make rules about these things. But I’m not sure that he is saying don’t do them. If they are a shadow of what’s to come I consider it good not bad.
@katherineirons6245 Jesus accused the Jews of imposing man made laws while ignoring the important parts of the law concerning love and forgiveness. Paul rebuked Peter for returning to Jewish ways. I think that you are misunderstanding this.😊
@DoublePlay21 at this point it had already come, Saturday was shifted to the Lord's day as affirmed not only by tradition, but by 2 early church fathers.
hello all, I do not hold to the dietary restrictions myself and I am not here to troll. I am genuinely researching the topic. I notice in Mark 7:18 that Jesus says 'WHATEVER goes into the person' and in Mark 7:15 he says 'NOTHING outside the person..' Do you believe He means nothing that is koinos? or nothing period?
What about the parable of the proigal son?when the mans son returned home he was over joyed and told his servents kill the fatted calf and let us eat merry.
Im not going to say it is required. But for me personally, after starting eating biblically (Noah's permitted diet), i am off all my meda, a1c under control, all.other levels back into norms.

I got a question, God said to Adam that the animals was his companions and to name them. It sounds like God did not want Adam to eat animals (his companions) ?
@@reveriestandard so if shellfish a sin why does my Church sell it on Lent?? They also have Pork n kraut dinners😱... I go by what my bible and religion teaches(im catholic) but honestly ik all relugions are a cult..just depends how cooky you are ..id go to church all the time my kids do because they go to Catholic school
Thoughts on Acts 15:28-29. in the defense of everything being okay to eat except of course meat of strangled animals consuming blood or food sacrificed to idols. thoughts? In short though If The Lord Jesus is against me eating bacon like im down to toss the bacon Lol... IM Thankful to The Lord Jesus when i eat my Bacon. Either way Jesus is Lord I'd follow what he wanted me to do. I just want to make sure this isn't a misunderstanding. anyways I understand where you're coming from for sure with the translation between the koinos and Akatharatos and everything its just as a Chrsitian right when i would watch Pornogrophy IMMEDIATELY I knew in my heart i'd sinned I knew it was wrong in my heart its like this conviction from the Lord saying you gotta turn away from this man this is not the way to go. with Bacon that never happend once and i seeked the Lord about this type of thing and was curious on it I mean i read the scritpures and i was willing to give whatever the Lord wants me to give up for him. I had convictions about Horror films and Pornogrophy things of that nature but never bacon or these unclean foods mentioned in the OT and i never really had a thirst for blood or strangled animals so I never ran into that issue and in the USA i just shop at wal-mart and so its not open market where i'd run into Idol food at least if there was idol food i wouldn't know about it I just get stuff from the freezer section lol

I'd be careful with the idea of just living based on what you personally feel is right or wrong. I've heard people justify adultery etc because of their circumstances. Here is a verse that covers this concept: Jeremiah 17:5-9 ""Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the Lord. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which is not inhabited. “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit. “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?"" so it says that man's heart is deceitful and corrupt. That we shouldn't trust in our own understanding, but rather trust God, and follow Him, and take his advice, and trust His word. Proverbs 3:1-8 ""My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands; For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you. Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones."" again, it says "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding"
@@dylansanders6263 no problem brother! I appreciate your heart for the truth!

The bible also says thou shall not covet thy neighbors goods, nor bear false witness against him, nor steal, nor murder nor take the Lord's name in vain. When are you going to support that?
Interesting breakdown of the Bible, but what about 1 Corinthians 10:25-26? Which states “eat anything sold in the marketplace without raising questions of conscience. For the earth is the Lord's, and everything in it” My friend argued that it’s saying you can eat koinos things, touched by unclean hands, but I argue that because it says “anything in the market,” if a market sells pork, you could eat it
A VERY good teaching using 'all' Scripture and 'no' quotes from men. Please, now ditch the agitating, repetitive music, lol. We love you, David. Thank you.

It really does. People that don’t know the truth will devote themselves to demonic doctrines saying that you can’t get married and have to stay away from the clean animals listed in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 that God declares is food. I’m not entirely sure what that has to do with the information presented in the video though.
I am a 7 year, stage four, cancer survivor. Cancer just could be one of those "diseases of the gentiles". When we were given the dietary laws, we were told we would be spared from these diseases if we followed His instructions on food. It hardly seemed righteous to me to pray for healing as ate shellfish and pork. So I obey the food laws and thank my Heavenly Father for my continued health.
Wow. Praise Elohim.🙏
Congrats on your 7 yr survival. I hope it encouraged you to know I have lived 20 yrs with stage 4 cancer. I truly believe it is prayers, especially of my mother, that I survive. Wishing you many healthy years.
So Josh people never get cancer ??
Exactly!!
Shalom. Wow. Your testimony created goosebumps on me. I am learning but not so enthusiastic about dietary law. I am already rejected by my born again friends and husband because of Saturday Sabbath. So I am thinking I cannot push myself so much into this. I am not sure anymore. But whatever God want me to do, if it's His will for me and the kids, I will obey. Pray for me please. We're coming from asian family which traditionally eat many exotic animals apart from shellfish and pig. 🙏🏻😊
I remember when He revealed to me that Leviticus 11 applied to me. I was a lobster and shrimp loving New Englander, who also enjoyed a good crispy bacon cheeseburger now and then. I haven’t touched any of them since, nor have I missed them in the least. I’m much happier lovingly obeying Him than satisfying my carnal appetites.
Excellent teaching, as always. Shabbat shalom!
Turkey Bacon is great replacement, just cook it a little longer to make it crispy.
Lev 11:11 They are to be detestable to you. You should not eat meat from them and you should detest their carcasses.
Praise YHVH
I found beef bacon to be an amazing substitute. Has the smoked flavor with more substance in the bite! Has a similar fatty cracked that turkey doesn't. I'm not a huge fan of chicken and turkey, but a huge part of the word is.
@@michaelsterling8065 If I was still eating meat, I would probably go for
it, but at this stage, I only eat eggs that
my ducks, who I feed very wholesomely, give me. That and the cheese I make, and milk I get from my goats (who I would never eat, even though they are clean and totally acceptable as food). My garden grows profusely and I thank Yah every day for His provisions that don’t come from a grocery store. Not that I don’t shop in stores, but as minimally as absolutely necessary, and mostly for the animals and things for the homestead He led me to.
Thanks for this, thank you 119 and David. I will be sharing this teaching. All praise to the Most High.
I keep kosher. I used to eat pork, shrimp, and i no longer eat those unclean animals
Genesis 18 shows that eating meat and dairy together is acceptable; verse 8.
@@joanneadamovich8114 Very good point. Avoiding eating dairy and meat together is man's law, not Yahweh's. The food laws given by Yahweh in the Torah are still relevant.
Why do we Christians try to escape from loving God in the way God wants us to love God.
Too busy looking for what we want instead of understanding HIS Torah is Love and yields the best life possible which is what HE wants for us..... if we'd only listen, and do...
Because most of them have been taught lawlessness from a small child.
@@grey4621 Now we are not under the law meaning......now we follow Gods Law and are under Grace.
If you are not a Christian what are you?
@@sallylawson6742 Christian occurs 3 times in the bible. None of them are good references.
That aside being a Christian should be visible by Following HIS example by following HIS footsteps 1 Pet 2:21, imitating HIM like Paul 1 Cor 11:1, and walking as HE walked 1 Jhn 2:6. By this they would know us by our fruits.
Sadly "the church" tends to teach it is impossible to walk like Christ, and trying to do so is backsliding. Hope everyone can see how unbiblical that is... because that's why "born again" is necessary, and once "born again" all things are possible with Christ who strengthens us Phil 4:13.
Like a stop sign if Jesus stopped at it others still must stop at it even more because of HIS example 1 Pet 2:21. Same with The Law... HE walked it as our example not to do away with part of HIMSELF The Word become flesh.
May HE bless us all with eyes that see, ears that hear, and hearts that understand.
A VERY CLEAR TEACHING THANK YOU - I had a discussion recently with someone who believes its acceptable to God to eat whatever you like- that is pork bacon etc - you've explained it better than I did - I will show them this teaching and hope they receive it.
119 ignores some more weighty scriptures that defeat their doctrine.
First, prior to the law and after the flood, God told Noah:
“…Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you.
I have given you all things, even as the green herbs…”
- Genesis 9
For hundreds of years all the way up till the law was given after the exodus God had no restrictions on diet.
The next part of scripture 119 ignores is the first church council of Jerusalem that is recorded in the book of Acts.
What was the reason for the first church council?
The argument was over whether Gentiles were required to follow the law of Moses or not.
This council was headed up by Peter, James and John and all the elders of Jerusalem.
All of these men were believing Jews.
If there was any part of the law that Gentiles were to follow this would be the men to say so.
They had the authority to set the gentile church in order.
What did they conclude?
No, Gentiles did not have to follow the law.
And this wasn’t just written about in Acts 15, but also in Acts 21 where James and the elders tell Paul to be purified in the temple and let the other Jews see that he keeps the law.
Verse 25 is the clincher:
“…but concerning the gentiles, who believe, we have written, and decided that they should observe no such thing…”
Acts 21:25
To say Christians are supposed to follow dietary restrictions is to ignore scripture.
@@onehappydawgif i remember correctly, they have addressed each of the issues you listed on other videos :) if not all, then most. but i remember watching them in the past.
@@fRances.L I have been following 119 for years and I know they haven’t.
They have discussed the first church council but not with the other passage I mentioned later in acts.
If you are going to teach a doctrine you have to include all verses pertaining to that subject. 119 does not, at least in this particular matter
@onehappydawg The Jerusalem council addresses whether gentiles could worship alongside jews. As far as Genesis 9, this isn't about clean or unclean. It was about introducing a carnivore diet into the human diet, since, if you notice previously, they had not been given instruction to eat animals at all.
@@poophandle where are you getting that the Jerusalem council was about worshipping along side Jews???
I would suggest the following reading Leviticus 11, Deuteronomy 14, and for the "Christians that think that the Old Testament was done away with,, Matthew 5:17-20. Have a blessed day.
Torah is Gods Love to his people. So how do we love God?
Thank you Sir for bringing this up. To me it was very clear what Jesus teached us. The whole food thing seems to be lost in translation. Because when Jesus point out what goes outside of your mouth that is unclean was in response of the people who were more busy and concerns about old traditions of not washing their hands than serving God from the heart. When you compare different Bible translations one where the author says [thus Jesus made all food clean]. But other translations do not say that at all.
The Old Testanent has not been done away with but, rather, revealed more deeply within the New Covenant. Let us honour the best we can the OT yet not fall back under the condemnation of the law which Jesus nullified for all true believers, by His completed mission of grace at the cross and beyond.
John 14:21
Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him."
John 14:23
Jesus replied, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
John 15:10
If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and remain in His love.
1 John 2:3
By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.
Etc.
@@sylviasandin4386by keeping and guarding it!
It's been a little over a year since I started keeping Torah. It really made me realize how ubiquitous pork is in American cuisine. Even salads often have bacon bits on them! I also found that glucosamine chondroitin, which I'd taken for bad joints for years, contains shellfish. I stopped taking it and, if anything, my joints feel better than when I took it. Hmmm... "If you guard My commands, I will bless you."
I think it's also beneficial to consider the reasons God has for what he has said…Think about it.
God doesn't just make rules to have rules,
He has a reason every time.
His law's or commandments are all for our protection and benefit.
God's instruction concerning food is for our protection as well.
Satan wants you to believe God is holding out on you, keeping something good from you.
If God said not to eat something do you think He might have a reason?
God wants us to be healthy, Satan wants us to be deceived and sick.
So true!
Well said!
I totally agree.

@@onehappydawg Really? Then how did Noah know what was clean and unclean? He clearly did, since God instructed him on the number of clean and unclean animals to take on the ark.
The distinction between _akathartos_ and _koinos_ was eye-opening to me! I never knew that these two words had different uses in the New Testament. (This is why it's important for a Christian to have at least a basic grasp of Koine Greek.) Now that I know that Paul, Mark, and Peter weren't abrogating the biblical restrictions on food but rather were pointing out the irrelevant extrabiblical traditions of the Jewish religious elites, I've become firmer in my belief that the dietary regulations of the ceremonial law are relevant to Christians today.
Also when you seek Yahweh he will lead you in all truth. There’s a reason they didn’t want us to read the old testament the profits.

Excellent teaching. I am new to Torah and the Sabbath so I watch this teaching every so often. Thank you for your ministry.
Fantastic study. Very well done.
thank you Brother for your teachings! They are so relevant to what Jews and Gentiles face in today's world. Be strong and keep on bringing the truth! Blessings and much Shalom!
Bible’s Food Laws are a gift God gave to humanity for mercy. Everybody should fallow the lessons and commandments from God, they are all very good to us.

Great Video on the matter! Thorough and concise. Thank you, and well done!
Shabbat Shalom!
Praise Yah for this very simple and well-made explanation.
Thanks for sharing your insight into this matter.
When i look at my car's owner's manual it specifies what type of oil and fuel to use for optimum performance. Leviticus is our owner's manual from our creator letting us know what fuel (food) is best for us.
I really like that analogy!
Beautiful, I’m myself I tried to follow God’s commandments but be careful when you talk to your friends if is not in love and thinking that you are better believer do not even mention anything, first work in your pride and then teach people what to eat and what to avoid, the Lord bless us and his revelation get us close to him with much intimacy daily.
Wonderful teaching, thank you!
Excellent assessment of scripture brother. Shalom
Excellent, clear teaching. Thank you.

To live in praise to Jesus I want to follow His laws, His suggestions, Hiw advice... Whatever. And never put my ideas above His...
This video is one of the best I have ever seen in explanation of why we should not eat unclean animals. I never knew about the 2 greek words before and that is what really makes this video something. So good job guys.

119 Address these passages in other videos. Even if there interpretation of Acts 21 is slightly wrong. Yours definately falls on the basis of the verse itself. Ie - those things are directly qouted from the law. Which means the things gentiles do not have to keep are circumcision and the jewish traditions (verse 21) says nothing about not keeping the rest of the law . The whole argument of acts in context was the pharises believed one had to keep the law and traditions, circumcision to be saved, which is wrong understanding because were saved by grace. So Paul and James were trying to defend against there faulty theology. Ie - "We don't keep the law to be saved we keep it because were saved". There are so many passages you have to answer throughout the bible against these few to defend your position but I will let you pray to YHWH about it because I don't have the time or patience for debates on youtube anymore (Titus 3:9 KJV). You don't want to keep Gods law then you will find out what will happen on the day of judgement and I pray to God it's not (Matthew 7:21-23 KJV) I pray he has mercy on you and it's the evangelical brainwashing that prevents you seeing the true light of his law. (Psalm 119:42 KJV) (John 14:6 KJV)@@onehappydawg
I will say one thing we may have in common despite your faulty understanding of the bible. Just looked on your channel and saw a video entitled "Cave man cooking" bit of a Godincedence last night I was researching "The cave man diet" as i'm very much into primitive cooking, bushcraft and how to live a more natural life style. I then declared my self paleo because of my health condition. @@onehappydawg
@@guitarnotator I have been following 119 for many years and have watched many of their videos.
I can assure you 119 only addresses the first part of the Jerusalem council and not the second passage that mentions it again.
I’m not the one changing scripture.
The plain reading of both passages says nothing about Jewish tradition.
The first passage says circumcision and the law. Which always means the whole law given at Mount Sinai.
In the letter it tells the gentiles to follow four simple things and they do well.
You say those are found in “the law”, only if you switch the definition of “the law” to mean all of “Torah” and not the law given at Mount Sinai, which is the context in Acts.
The plain reading of Acts 21 is Paul, a Jew, being told to observe a part of the law so the other Jew will see he walks orderly and “keeps the law”
Why does James tell him to do this?
It’s because the Jews have heard that he teaches Jews who are living among the Gentiles to “forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcised, nor walk according to the customs.”
James tells him to follow the law laid out in Leviticus 14, not a tradition.
Once again the context is “the law” given at Mount Sinai after the exodus.
In this same context James says we have written and decided they should follow no such thing.
This is plain reading in context of the scriptures.
I have no problem with a believer that wants to observe the festivals, sabbaths or dietary restrictions. But when you say, believers ought to do these things, now you are a law and going against the New Covenant.
The New Covenant is not like the Old Covenant. God made sure that the Old Covenant could not be followed anymore by destroying the earthly temple, in 70AD, needed to follow it.
The only “law” we are required to follow now is, Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and your neighbor as yourself.
Love is the fulfillment of the law.
Ok keep believing what God called "an abomination" meaning he "utterly detests it" he will change his mind about even know (Malachi 3:6 KJV) states he doen't change about these things. You clearly have no idea what your talking about and as you pesist to try and debate with me even know I said I won't. Even if you do reject the law in the old testament. Your even sinning by what I already stated in (Titus 3:9 KJV) so I will no longer converse with you it's clear to me your just a troll bringing people down who is looking for debates and that in itself shows me you need to seriously repent and get saved. (Matthew 7:16 KJV)@@onehappydawg
Amén 🙌 Very well explained, shalom!
Thank you, good video❤
They shouldn't keep these health laws if they WANT to be unhealthy. Breaking these "laws" is a sin against your own body.
Very well explanation
Great team!
Acts 10 was the first scripture a teacher tried to shove down my 11 y/o sons throat when he took a stand in eating biblically according to Deuteronomy. At a “Christian” school none the less. We homeschool now. 🤷♀️ The teacher never bothered to finish reading the scripture to get the whole message. 🤦♀️
I’ll say it like I told the head of academics of the school; everyone’s DNA can be traced back to Adam and Eve. If that’s the case then our cellular structure and anatomy has never changed and there is no evolution of the human body. With this information why do people think those laws no longer apply to them ? Just because Yeshua came doesn’t mean our digestive system changed or evolved. Science has proven that our DNA is traceable back to the first created humans who were created in his image!!! Matt 5:19-I’m trying to teach those around me the truth and it’s hard!!!
Sorry, I’m a science nerd with a BSN. I always break it down scientifically.
I hadn't really thought it about it in terms of the human digestive system not changing, but in terms of the genetic structure and proclivities of unclean animals not changing. I now see that viewing it from your aspect is equally important. Thank you for this wisdom and bless your son for standing for the truth! HaSatan continues to use the same deception he used in the Garden of Eden.
Your account of the teacher not reading all the passage shows the dangers inherent with 'proof texting' which seems to be the only way most Christians read the Bible these days. Those wise among the fellowship I am are making sure this doesn't happen. Thanks for sharing, a fellow home educator.
Excellent
Very good! This is exactly what I teach when sharing the truth with others. Super convenient to have a concise video to share! Thanks!
One additional thought on Mark 7, if we consider the reason why the Pharisees kept popping in and trying to trap Him with words, etc... they wanted to kill Him, and their plan was to do the exact same thing they did to Stephen in Acts 6. Get him to say something they could use to declare Him a false prophet so they could kill Him. If He really did tell that group of Pharisees that He was declaring all unclean meats clean... a direct change of the Law of YHWH... they would have stoned Him on the spot, having received exactly what they wete looking for.
shelly, so you knew all about akathartos and koinos before watching this video?
I stay away from shrimp 🍤 because they’re bottom feeders and the oceans are trashed. There’s a reason for every law for our benefit.
Pigs are also scavengers. They'll eat just about anything.
chickens too
@@Otehiagaming Chickens are fine.
Rabbit is also not kosher…. Yet it is one of the most lean and healthy meats available….. just a thought.
😅Amen, this is exactly correct. Shalom
Thanks
Thank you
Good one.
A wonderful video! Thank you for the explanation on akatartos and koinos. ❤
Aint fooling me just cause the guy knows the definition of some words in a different language.
@DUB-Track the Bible was written in that different language, you don't have valid challenge, so long as you serve your own desires and stomach you won't be serving God
@@zelxos3360 Romans 14:3 says differently. Just look at the thread where I already addressed a person who is trying to defend your same position. It has prolly 40 responses and is near the newest comments. Go comment there if you want. Cant go over that much conversation again without you seeing what has already been discussed (if you are actually interested).
Yeah, I read that thread and it actually doesn't matter what Rom 14:3 says. If it speaks against God's law, it's a false teaching. So logically it should either be removed from the Bible or the understanding of it being in conflict with the law is wrong.
@@zelxos3360 Sounds like you believe in the works of the law
A passage many Christians fail to realize immediately refutes Romans 14:14 and Mark 7:19 is one specific passage, every Christian should know it to refute antinomianism.
*Revelation 18:2*
And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every *unclean (akathartos G169) and hated bird!*
As you can see, there are unclean birds all the way in Revelation.
Yes, there are unclean birds. Eagles and vultures would be examples of these. What's your point?
@@user-zr6pl6nb6zmeaning the unclean animals are still unclean.
@@user-zr6pl6nb6z It disproves that Yeshua declared all foods clean or that there is nothing unclean.
@@user-zr6pl6nb6z Just as a point to those who don't like 119 Ministries examples.
Amen...HalleluYAH
Boy, did I waste a lot of time researching this subject. I eat only clean animals now, but those NT verses were never fully answered by me. I have never heard that two different words were translated "unclean." I'm so disgusted with bible translators. It's bad enough that references to Sheol, Gehenna, Tartarus, the grave, and Torments/Paradise, are all translated HELL. Why? It's inexcusable. And all the names of God get commingled, and never translated YHWH. English bible translations are so pathetic that it almost seems like an agenda. Thanks for producing the best exegesis on this subject that I've seen.
In reference to the English bibles, if you haven’t seen the RUclips video “A Lamp In The Dark: The Untold History Of The Bible”, was eye-opening for me! I pray you will glean what Holy Spirit wants you to know. As you had said you thought it was an agenda & you are correct my friend!
Well done; brilliant.
How so? Seems to me that this is false teaching. I will go by what the Holy Spirit instructs in Acts 15:28-29.
Don't forget what was said in verse 21. There was a full expectation that the new, gentile believers would learn more of Gods ways in time. The 4 requirements were important to demonstrate this 'new life' by the Spirit.
@@rickblake3674Deut 31:21 It was always gonna be that way.
@@rickblake3674What exactly is your point on emphasis of verse 21. I dont get the significance. I dont go to synagogue. I assume you dont either. Study like a Bearean has some validity there, but... To study like a Berean doesnt mean to go back and learn the Mosaic laws. They already knew those. It means to see how Christ reveals Himself through scripture.
The law of faith is what is revealed.
@@rickblake3674Romans 14:2 isnt written in some kind of code. Its very straight forward.
Excellent nutshell teaching of a book I devoured (!) called Holy Cow by Hope Egan.
Romans 1:20 - For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, being understood by what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
Understood by what has been made that we are without excuse.... Science will only ever prove YAH. If HE declared all foods clean meant pork then somewhere around 27-33AD we should have historical, and biological evidence of pigs no longer eating their own poop, but we don't.
Similarly Hemlock, Jeruselam Cherries, Poison Dart Frogs, Cane toads, Hawkbill Turtles, and Puffer Fish would be completely safe to eat.... but they're not.... and we are as Paul wrote without excuse as we have The Word and the evidence of things not seen.
Blessings and Shalom...
Very helpful video
Not really... Its a bogus interpretation. Read Acts 15: 5, 10 and 28-29... Is this guy trying to tell me that all OT meats considered unclean are meats that are sacrificed to idols? Be real... I dont eat meat sacrificed to idols.
@@DUB-Track it gets us thinking about a proper biblical diet prescribed by YHWH so yes, it’s beneficial and helpful.
@@tmish969 No, if you dont know scripture, this person can be misleading. What does the Holy Spirit say in Acts 15:28-29? Its all you need to see to know this guy is misinterpreting the text.
@@DUB-Track we must not skip over verse 21 which shows we are going to learn Moses every Sabbath and that the four requirements are merely in regards as to who can be considered “saved.” In no way did the Jerusalem council toss out YAHUAH’s commandments.
@@tmish969 Interesting. I can show you spots in the OT that say God doesnt like their sabbaths... And is Moses taught? Yes, Deut 31:21 shows that would happen, but that is speaking about Jews.
Its obvious they werent tossing away the law, but we are under grace by faith. There are many spots where this is referred to and it doesnt say that the law is to be done away with. Check out Romans 14, which covers the topic of food specifically.
Yes God is in charge we need to obey if we belong to him
Akarthatos is also the word used to describe the unclean spirits that were possessing the man who were then sent into pigs.
I believe that eating and clean is not one of the lesser laws, but one of the greater ones because eating and clean, makes us an abomination in cusses out at the kingdom.
The Bible says not all sins lead to death, but eating and cleaned does!
At least you were correct in as much as they were symbolic, but Scripture is perfect even in symbolism, and God doesn't studder. 2 words, distinct meanings.
Shalom what do you do with Acts 15 ? Also 1 Timothy 4 ? We as gentiles grafted in are put only under 4 parts of the purification laws and food was not one of them ! I do choose to eat clean but if ever I need to eat something unclean it is not a sin ❤ When Noah got off the arc God told him to eat anything that crereps so there is always different instructions all thru out time as is now in this age of grace !
Acts 15 is for new converts. Complete pagan worshipers who would have needed to first start off with the major basics that they would have struggled with. If a drunkard came to your church and he repented you would tell him to abstain from drinking. You wouldn’t off the bat say hey don’t steal when he’s struggling with something else. Eventually you would build that brother up in the truth and grow in wisdom.
1 Tim 4 is talking about watching out for those who would tell you to abstain from foods Yahweh has created for food. You can go back to Leviticus 11 to understand what foods Yahweh created to be received with thanksgiving. Hope that helps.
Very simple
Simple? Its not correct
In loving-kindess God allowed flesh food (kosher), but, this should not deter us from going back to original diet in Eden.
Why no one talks about the most important thing " Bless Your Food"
Consider Isaiah 66:17 also. Who will Christ be judging when He returns? Really makes you think...
As a Bondservant of Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, I attempt to follow His words. Especially Matthew 5:17-21
Unfortunately, living in America, it's difficult to live the kosher life.
Because, I'm an over the road truck driver. And most places I stop at. Food is cooked in the same place that has unclean foods.
It's quite difficult to park a 70 foot rig near a kosher grocery store.
There is nothing in the Bible that says to eat Kosher.
The command is to not eat unclean meats, and even better, before sin, we were not to eat any dead flesh.
Did you know Seventh-day Adventists, who are mostly vegetarian, live on average 7 years longer?
God bless as you try to live for him.
It’s not about eating “Kosher”, it’s about eating Biblically. “Kosher” is an extrabiblical (re: non-biblical) additional characteristic that the jews add onto the food laws. Just eat like the Bible says. If you eat packaged food, just read the ingredients, and make sure things aren’t fried in lard!
That was for the Old Testament and according to St. Peter we are now in the New Testament which does not apply to us. There are few Old Testament are still valid like the Ten Commandments…..
All are valid, isn't it the Dawiyd and the Prophets praise his Law and mentions it is forever?
Who are you then to say only some are valid?
How does Strong's G449 (aniptos) compare to koinais? Strong's uses G449 for "unwashen" in Mark 7:5 (KJV). Can someone here elaborate if these two words have similar definitions?
After prayer for discernment daily for months, suddenly the bacon in my
mouth tasted like hot garbage. I "knew" thereafter id been wrong.just as the guilt of looking with lust or having bursts of wrath.
Wow! I had similar experiences. Once I realized that God's law was not annulled, I decided to follow the OT diet law because I wanted to obey God's word. I wondered if I would have a yearning for honey baked ham or barbecued shrimps, but I didn't. Instead, I started smelling uncleanness! Naturally I've had no desire for those unclean foods, and that made me want to follow God's word more thoroughly.
If you want to be in covenant with the living God of creation and have a healthy body, then yes. 😊

How did the early church get this wrong ???
Anyone wondering about this title, read Romans, this question is answered!
We are told to love God with all our heart, mind and soul and that we be reconciled unto him... If we do what God hates how yet can we say we love him with all our heart, mind and soul as we were commanded to do.
Jesus and the disciples taught the law of Moses and Jesus even said your thoughts should be bridled and controlled.
If someone pays your fine and the judge frees you it is not so you can continue the crimes that brought upon you the fine. If you are reconciled to the father of whom you were seperated from because of your sinful actions it hardly makes logical sense that you are reconciled to him to continue in those same sinful actions.
We are meant to be dead to sin and not living in it - not following two masters but crucifying the fleshly desires and seeking the spiritual
The second coming of Yeshua (The Messiah, Christ, Jesus) is coming near, Please all who say they are of Christ read these verses below and seek the truth; the truth that all transgression of the law is sin and none of the laws of Moses were done away with, the truth that Yeshua (Jesus) himself states that he does not abolish any of the laws of his father (he himself is the word, the law and so to say you abide in him yet not all the law makes ye a liar). Read the verses below that speak of God unchanging and of how we are meant to walk as Christ walks and hence following the commandments of God given to Moses including the vast expanse of Leviticus (of course it is believed Yeshua caused for such as blood sacrifices to be finished as he became the atoning sacrifice amongst other factors).
If you seek to truly love and serve God, Jesus and the holy spirit in full truth I implore you also seek teachings such as those about Sabbath's from 119 ministries, Jim Staley, Rico Cortes, bill Cloud, brad Scott and others... Another vital and important teaching would also be "Truth or Tradition" by Jim Staley.
Any who believe that the words of Paul and others including Yeshua (Jesus) himself change or abolish laws.... I can tell you there are deep contextual understandings required and that many of the verses you have heard have been plucked out leaving the verses that add the necessary context to be sitting in the book - but alongside this there is a deep culture and context in the era the scriptures were written that if you lack the understanding of will cause you to misunderstand the true meaning of the scriptures today with Paul's writing's requiring much of that understanding although if you remember it was false accusations that he was teaching against the laws of Moses and see that it should give you an idea as to how Paul has been misinterpreted by the current churches with many going against the Bible's very verses stating clearly such were false accusations.
Remember also that Yeshua (Jesus) actually spoke that even thoughts are counted as to iniquity (sin) and such makes sense if we are to love God with all our heart, mind and soul... We are implored to hold our very thoughts unto his ways and his standards also.
May God guide and bless those with open and truth seeking hearts that desire to love him truly to allow them to read these words here and these scriptures and to walk in full repentance as God truly desires 🙏🏽
2 Timothy 2:19 CJB
Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, stamped with these words: “The Lord knows his own,” and, “Let everyone who claims he belongs to the Lord stand apart from wrongdoing.”
Matthew 7:21-23
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matthew 5:17-22
"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.' But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire.
Mark 9:43-47 CJB
If your hand makes you sin, cut it off! Better that you should be maimed but obtain eternal life, rather than keep both hands and go to Gei-Hinnom, to unquenchable fire! And if your foot makes you sin, cut it off! Better that you should be lame but obtain eternal life, rather than keep both feet and be thrown into Gei-Hinnom! And if your eye makes you sin, pluck it out! Better that you should be one-eyed but enter the Kingdom of God, rather than keep both eyes and be thrown into Gei-Hinnom,
1 John 2:3-6
Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
1 John 5:2-3
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law
Romans 6:1-2
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?
James 2:24
You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
Matthew 5:48
Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men-the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do." He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition

Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him
Ezekiel 18:30-32 ESV
“Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, declares the Lord God. Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin. Cast away from you all the transgressions that you have committed, and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Why will you die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Lord God; so turn, and live.”
Messianic Jews (Heb) 6:1-8 CJB
Therefore, leaving behind the initial lessons about the Messiah, let us go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of turning from works that lead to death, trusting God, and instruction about washings, s’mikhah, the resurrection of the dead and eternal punishment. And, God willing, this is what we will do. For when people have once been enlightened, tasted the heavenly gift, become sharers in the Ruach HaKodesh, and tasted the goodness of God’s Word and the powers of the ‘olam haba - and then have fallen away - it is impossible to renew them so that they turn from their sin, as long as for themselves they keep executing the Son of God on the stake all over again and keep holding him up to public contempt. For the land that soaks up frequent rains and then brings forth a crop useful to its owners receives a blessing from God; but if it keeps producing thorns and thistles, it fails the test and is close to being cursed; in the end, it will be burned.
Acts 3:19 ESV
Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out
Matthew 4:17 ESV
From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
2 Peter 3:9 ESV
The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
Matthew 3:8 ESV
Bear fruit in keeping with repentance
Revelation 2:5 ESV
Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.
Ezekiel 18:21-23 ESV
“But if a wicked person turns away from all his sins that he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does what is just and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him; for the righteousness that he has done he shall live. Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord God, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live?
Colossians 3:5-6
Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
“…Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, from which some, having strayed,
have turned aside to idle talk,
desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm………..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...”

The laws are for health and spiritually about obedience.
So your group keeps the entire law of Moses? Old wine and old bottles?
I’m just curious. I didn’t know groups existed that mixed these two areas. This was a new one for me.
well remember this same thing happened in pauls day too the Galatians were brought under the law again by the jews it happens when people forget that Jesus Fulfilled the Law now the Law is written on our hearts But we have to show mercy and grace to people in Love just point back to the Cross and resurrection of Christ they find freedom in Jesus. we have to live in unity and those whose conscience is weak we help them and bare their burden with grace and love but also tell them they don't have to live this way Jesus died to give them freedom from the law he fulfilled everything We couldn't keep the law due to our sin thats why we needed our savior. I know arguing with them though will just cause them to put up their fists and start swinging so just show compassion and point to the Lord For scripture reading to anyone struggling with being under the law again tell them to read the book of Galatians they ran into the same problem! Read Galatians! And then Pray for them to the Lord to help them and rest in the Lord he will take care of them we just take the prayer to him. It concerned me to when i seen the comments as well but then I looked up and remembered Our Lord has been handling situations like this for a very long time it'll be just fine!
Shalom @Robo1818 ,

What of Colossians 2:16-17
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Don’t let Gentiles judge you for walking in the commandments of Yahweh. I’m not being smug, I have no other way to put it but to ask it in a question. Do you think Paul is really saying don’t let someone judge you for not keeping the sabbath, or not keeping his feast days, or new moons which are basically sabbath days or eating what is clean. These are all eternal laws. The following verses he goes into things that you should not do. Hope that helps.
I understood that Paul was telling the Hebrews that lived in gentile nations to not let them judge them for keeping their laws but people like to use it as that it is giving them permission to do as the heathens and man made traditions.
@@katherineirons6245 yes you could be right. Fair point. I can see him warning those to not let someone make rules about these things. But I’m not sure that he is saying don’t do them. If they are a shadow of what’s to come I consider it good not bad.
@katherineirons6245 Jesus accused the Jews of imposing man made laws while ignoring the important parts of the law concerning love and forgiveness. Paul rebuked Peter for returning to Jewish ways. I think that you are misunderstanding this.😊
@DoublePlay21 at this point it had already come, Saturday was shifted to the Lord's day as affirmed not only by tradition, but by 2 early church fathers.
so we’re supposed to eat as Judaic people and not Christian people?
this implies we abide in OT still and not the new covenant?
Can you show me a video about if being unclean is a sin? I can't find one.
you're looking for a negative command, but the positive command was already cited in the video "be holy"
Tgey cant they make this ish up sure its been twisted over time
👍❤️🙌🏻😊
hello all, I do not hold to the dietary restrictions myself and I am not here to troll. I am genuinely researching the topic. I notice in Mark 7:18 that Jesus says 'WHATEVER goes into the person' and in Mark 7:15 he says 'NOTHING outside the person..' Do you believe He means nothing that is koinos? or nothing period?
What about the parable of the proigal son?when the mans son returned home he was over joyed and told his servents kill the fatted calf and let us eat merry.
What about it?
a calf is a cow, a cow is clean meat, not unclean.
Im not going to say it is required. But for me personally, after starting eating biblically (Noah's permitted diet), i am off all my meda, a1c under control, all.other levels back into norms.
You have provided a biblical answer here.
But don't I have to keep the whole law then?
Mark 7? Not what goes into us defines us but what comes out? Can you explain that
Shalom @jacksonjoe7456,

I got a question, God said to Adam that the animals was his companions and to name them. It sounds like God did not want Adam to eat animals (his companions) ?
Adam likely didn't eat any meat. God is not calling his children to return to the original diet.

Lobster shrimp crab yummmm. My church has fish fry's with shrimp..The priest says its ok.
should we decide for ourselves what is okay, or listen to what other people say is right, or should we live by what the bible says?
@@reveriestandard My priest says shrimp& crab are fine👍🏻
@@reveriestandard according to my religion Jesus declared all food clean
@@reveriestandard so if shellfish a sin why does my Church sell it on Lent?? They also have Pork n kraut dinners😱... I go by what my bible and religion teaches(im catholic) but honestly ik all relugions are a cult..just depends how cooky you are ..id go to church all the time my kids do because they go to Catholic school
@@Nogames2281 so you take the word of your priest over the scripture?
The rules are easy to remember. Vegan. All sentient lives are sacred, not just yours.
Thoughts on Acts 15:28-29. in the defense of everything being okay to eat except of course meat of strangled animals consuming blood or food sacrificed to idols. thoughts? In short though If The Lord Jesus is against me eating bacon like im down to toss the bacon Lol... IM Thankful to The Lord Jesus when i eat my Bacon. Either way Jesus is Lord I'd follow what he wanted me to do. I just want to make sure this isn't a misunderstanding. anyways I understand where you're coming from for sure with the translation between the koinos and Akatharatos and everything its just as a Chrsitian right when i would watch Pornogrophy IMMEDIATELY I knew in my heart i'd sinned I knew it was wrong in my heart its like this conviction from the Lord saying you gotta turn away from this man this is not the way to go. with Bacon that never happend once and i seeked the Lord about this type of thing and was curious on it I mean i read the scritpures and i was willing to give whatever the Lord wants me to give up for him. I had convictions about Horror films and Pornogrophy things of that nature but never bacon or these unclean foods mentioned in the OT and i never really had a thirst for blood or strangled animals so I never ran into that issue and in the USA i just shop at wal-mart and so its not open market where i'd run into Idol food at least if there was idol food i wouldn't know about it I just get stuff from the freezer section lol

I'd be careful with the idea of just living based on what you personally feel is right or wrong. I've heard people justify adultery etc because of their circumstances. Here is a verse that covers this concept:
Jeremiah 17:5-9
""Thus says the Lord:
“Cursed is the man who trusts in man
And makes flesh his strength,
Whose heart departs from the Lord.
For he shall be like a shrub in the desert,
And shall not see when good comes,
But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
In a salt land which is not inhabited.
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord.
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
“The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?""
so it says that man's heart is deceitful and corrupt. That we shouldn't trust in our own understanding, but rather trust God, and follow Him, and take his advice, and trust His word.
Proverbs 3:1-8
""My son, do not forget my law,
But let your heart keep my commands;
For length of days and long life
And peace they will add to you.
Let not mercy and truth forsake you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart,
And so find favor and high esteem
In the sight of God and man.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
It will be health to your flesh,
And strength to your bones.""
again, it says "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding"
Hey I appreciate your response! Thanks! @@reveriestandard
Going over the letter to the Galatians was very helpful after watching this video! @@reveriestandard
@@dylansanders6263 no problem brother! I appreciate your heart for the truth!
The bible also says thou shall not covet thy neighbors goods, nor bear false witness against him, nor steal, nor murder nor take the Lord's name in vain. When are you going to support that?
Of course not. it is not because it is outdated but the food laws in the OT is not applicable to NT believers.
Repent and be born again
I try eating kosher but the price of kosher meat is so expensive.
You shouldn’t really have to buy “kosher” meat. Find a butcher who slaughters in a humane way and are grass fed.
@@GlennCJudah thank you
Interesting breakdown of the Bible, but what about 1 Corinthians 10:25-26? Which states “eat anything sold in the marketplace without raising questions of conscience. For the earth is the Lord's, and everything in it”
My friend argued that it’s saying you can eat koinos things, touched by unclean hands, but I argue that because it says “anything in the market,” if a market sells pork, you could eat it
That was in reference to food sacrificed to idols, not unclean animals. Unclean animals are not food
Exactly as said before...what is classified as food?...pigs and frogs and shellfish have never been called food by the Most High! HalleluYahah!
Your argument would be flawed. Israelites would have been shopping at KOSHER markets. There would have been no occasion to see anything else there.
A VERY good teaching using 'all' Scripture and 'no' quotes from men. Please, now ditch the agitating, repetitive music, lol. We love you, David. Thank you.
Mark 7:14-23 ?????
Very clear! Please keep making shorter videos like this. Documentaries are fine, but I don’t like the ones in-between that are like 20-40 minutes long
The real question should be: Should messianics worship another name as God?

Is Jesus the name given from God or is it the name from Rome?
@@sylviasandin4386 Yahusha is the hebrew name, it was turn in Iesus(in greek) and in Jesus(in English)
1 timothy chapter 4 says it all boy.
It really does. People that don’t know the truth will devote themselves to demonic doctrines saying that you can’t get married and have to stay away from the clean animals listed in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 that God declares is food. I’m not entirely sure what that has to do with the information presented in the video though.
