What do you believe about unclean foods?  And what about food polluted by idols?

Why does everyone attack Aviva for?  This is only a question... isn't it?\n\nThe Answer to the Question:\n\nActs 21:25 As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they should abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality."\n\nAND\n\n1 Timothy 4:3-5\n(3) They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. (4) For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, (5) because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.\n\nThere is nothing wrong with eating pork, etc... no unclean foods in that sense.

It would be hard not to eat anything that was living since plants are also alive. I know that you meant of flesh and blood. I don't think the fish means lets go eat seafood. I think it is a symbol for the fisher of men. I don't eat any animal because I feel life is precious and should be respected. I don't tell other people what to eat because I feel people should be allowed to believe and live as they want.\nLove & Light\nSharon\nOne Planet = One People

This is something I found by an anonymous guest writer on another forum some time ago but it is in the same vein as your question and I think it provides an aswer, I'm sure the person who wrote it won't mind me posting it here, enjoy:\n\n(quote)\n"Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.\n\nI do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them.\n\na) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?\n\nb) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?\n\nc) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.\n\nd) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?\n\ne) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?\n\nf) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an Abomination (Lev 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?\n\ng) Lev 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?\n\nh) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev 19:27. How should they die?\n\ni) I know from Lev 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?\n\nj) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev 24:10-16) Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)\n\nI know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help.\n\nThank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.\n\nYour devoted disciple and adoring fan."(unquote)

Yuck, I'll be sure not to fry an egg on a sidewalk on a hot day in China.\n\nAlso for the time being, until I get the word, I'm not picking any chewing gum off the ground anymore to recycling it either.

I just learned this one myself, and it's kinda gross, but eating boogers builds up your body's immunities to disease.\n\n\n(told you it was gross)

Read a little further into the bible, and you will find that God specified many things that He made for man's benifit.\n\nLooks like you already have a bible handy, so this shouldn't be a problem for you.\n\nThere is a list of foods in various religions, on the second webpage.

Actually the Bible says we are allowed to eat meat. \n\nHowever there is a discussion about this in Romans 14. It basically says that eating meat is not bad in of itself, however if a person feels like it is bad, then it is bad for them and we are to respect that.\n\nAlso as for Daniel, he did not eat meat because the meat that was available to him was from animals that had been sacraficed to idols (other gods). (Dan 1:8-15)Daniel didn't want to eat that meat because he felt like it went against God, so he and 3 others asked that they only be given vegetables to eat. The king over them worried that they would not be as healthy if they did not eat meat, but they allowed it. At the end of a period of time, Daniel and those who ate only vegetables became stronger and healthier than those who ate the meat sacraficed to idols. It was asomething God did supernaturally to prove to the people He is God. But that was an isolated event. People today don't usually sacrafice animals to other Gods, but if they did, then yes, it would be wrong to eat that particular meat.

I think you may be confusing Jesus' ministry with your respect for animals.  I understand and respect your beliefs, but I really don't think anyone who eats an animal product is being untrue to anything Jesus taught or to Christmas.

It is similar to what health enthusiasts have been promoting for 5 decades--back to nature. It is the man-made things that are bad to eat and cause pollution. Notice that there is not a big list of what plants to eat or not eat. Man can eat meat in case he needs to. The bible recommends plant foods in the beginning.\n\nThen after the great flood plant foods are hard to come by so then there is the involved list of which animals to eat and not eat. But now there is an abundance of plant foods in stores like never before. Also it appears that raw plant foods are the best for health. That automatically fits into the makers diet, almost like a garden of Eden diet.\n\nThis is my first post on this site and I read the rules and guidelines but not sure if it is OK to refer to another site so I guess I can try and find out. www.phifoundation.org/heal.html There is this great 4 paragraph story on this webpage about a minister who recovered from many health problems including depression by switching to an 85% raw vegan diet.

Somewhere, Jesus said that in truth, nothing is dirty...God is neither male nor female, but has aspects of both...and beyond...God is in a sense, indeed within the sewage, and your eyeballs, your brain cells...everything projected and created contains the perfect breath of All That Is.  \n\nWhat is projected is as a dream, what is created is wholly good, without opposite.

For most muslim countries, only cleaning with water is sacred.  They must present themselves at least 5 times a day for worship and any form of uncleanliness is taboo.  Wiping clean with toilet paper is not clean enough.\n\nUnless the nation is very into the environmental friendliness policy.  Imagine how many trees they save!

All right, Rev Trask. This does it! Have you been taking your medication?\n\nActually, you forgot to include deviled ham. How many sinful foods have we been eating? Are we doomed?

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT MEAT YOU EAT. GOD HAS CHOSEN ONLY CERTAIN FOODS TO EAT.\n** TEXTS THAT INVOLVE THE CLEAN AND UNCLEAN MEATS:\nGEN.18:7-8; LEV.11; 20:25; DEUT.14; ISAIAH 66:17; EZEK.22:26; DAN.1:8; MATT.3:4; LUKE 24:41-43; ACTS 10:10-14; 1COR.3:16-17; 9:27; 2COR.6:17; AND REV.21:8.\n\n**ALSO YOU CAN'T EAT THE BLOOD OF THE MEAT (LEV.17:14).\n \nJUST A NOTE FOR OTHERS----TO ME; IF THE CLEAN AND UNCLEAN MEATS WEREN'T VALID FOR TODAY; THEN WHY OH WHY WOULD THE LORD PLEAD WITH FLESH NOT TO EAT UNCLEAN MEAT--(ISAIAH 66:15-17). ALSO NOTICE DEUT.14:4 "SHALT NOT EAT ANY ABOMINABLE THING" AND REV.21:8 "...THE ABOMINABLE SHALL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE: WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH."

Leviticus 11:7 - And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. \n\nThis chapter talks about what you can eat.

I believe that our bodies were creasted in a fascinating way-  that science and medicine have not even scratched the surface of the wonders and intricacies of our bodies.\nI believe that God created our bodies with the ability to heal itself.  I believe however that He gave us certain laws, dietary and otherwise that teach us how to nourish and care for our bodies so that it can heal.  When we do things contrary to God's word, we hinder our bodies ability to heal itself.  I believe in faith healing to a degree-the evidence of faith is obedience.  You can have all the prayer and belief in God and His ability to heal but refuse to lay down the sin that so easliy besets, continue eating man made garbage or filling your body with unnatural chemical substances and you are blocking oyur healing.  At the same time, you can do all the right things but not put your faith in the God who created your body, not believe that you can be healed and you hinder yourself there too.  Faith and obedience work together.  I have seen and heaed of all manner of "incurable" diseases healed - but just as a machine needs the right amont and kind of oil , certain componants and ingredients to work and function as it was designed to, God made everything that our bodies need to be nourished, grow , heal and function properly- if we refuse to feed our bodies the things that were specifically designed for it, then we will continue to be sick and just get sicker

paul when he had that vision was being shown by God about cornelius. it wasnt about food. jews treated gentiles(non jews) very unclean much like pigs and dogs. cornelius was a believer ofGod and God tried sending paul to him, but paul being a jew wasnt about to defile himself. God showed him through the animals that only God can say what is clean and unclean

Sure just in moderation.  Just to go abit off subject if nichill18 studied her Bible she would know that animals do not have souls.  If they did they wouldn't be so tasty.  :  )
