All Foods Clean (August 3-9, 2024, Q3 L6) 

Nope! You are reading into this text your false interpretation of scripture. By your understanding then when a person participates in an *‘unclean’ ritual,* that then passes through the body and is expelled in the waste of the person. This is how you understand Jesus’ explanation? Those caught up in the SDA counterfeit organization have been deceived and this post is just one example of the false teachings they are exposed to every week.

@@michuanni , it’s context. Jesus deliberately took them into primarily gentile territory and had them serve food to a mostly gentiles crowd of 4,000 at Bethsaida. He placed them in proximity to the gentiles and had the disciples serve them. That was not an old covenant model. Gentiles could come to Jews and submit to Jewish requirements, but Jews could not go to gentiles and engage in table fellowship with them. Jesus was preparing them for their new roles as apostles of the new covenant.

@@ColleenTinker Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question. I really appreciate it. Did I understand you correctly to conclude from the context that Jesus cancelled the food commandments? This interpretation can be correct, but it can also be wrong. There are 613 commandments and prohibitions in the Torah. Why would Jesus have chosen the food commandments in particular? Why don't the Pharisees and lawyers protest that he has just cancelled a number of prohibitions? The translators also disagree on exactly how this text should be translated. The NKJV says: " MK 7,19 because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?" I don't quite understand why the churches have to criticise each other's interpretations? We all have one goal. To make Jesus Christ the centre of our lives.

@@michuanni Jesus did not CANCEL the Mosaic law. It was in place until He rose from the grave having fulfilled all of its shadows. But He did declare all foods clean. In other words, He wasn't telling the Jews to feel free to start eating pigs; He was telling them that pigs do not make a person unclean. Intrinsically, pigs, shellfish, and all that moves does not make a person unclean. The Jews were under the law until Jesus rose from the dead, and Jews were not about to go and embrace unclean foods. Their identity was built around the law! But Jesus was saying that when the new covenant in His blood was inaugurated, no Jew would be considered ritually unclean for eating anything-and even more importantly, no gentile believer was to brought under the law, including the food laws. Food would not make them unclean. Knowing the Lord Jesus and being born again, on the contrary, would make them CLEAN.

Jesus was dealing with FOODS. He overtly stated that what goes into a person's mouth passes through the body and is eliminated through the digestive tract. He said no food makes a person unclean, but what is IN The HEART makes people unclean or designates them as clean. By "this He declared all foods clean". In other words, people cannot be contaminated by what they eat. Those levitical food laws were given to Israel for the specific purpose of keeping them separated from the gentiles so they would not have table fellowship together and develop intimate relationships. He was protecting the holy seed from which the Lord Jesus would come and was keeping His chosen people separate from the unclean, lawless gentiles. But with His death, burial, and resurrection, He destroyed the barrier between Jew and gentile and removed the wall of laws that kept them separate (see Ephesians 2 and Colossians 2). Jesus was foreshadowing what was about to take place as He went to the cross and rose from death: there would be "no distinction" between Jew and gentile, and all food would be clean. People could again eat "everything that moves" as God ordained after the flood in Genesis 9.

Not necessarily, the point of this ministry is to demonstrate Adventist doctrines that are wrong. Primarily to help former Adventists work through those false doctrines. I have worked with former Adventists, from my experience this kind of break down is very useful. I get your point…this kind of teaching is not going to appeal to everyone. However for former SDAs and those who interact with them this is vital information.

"Most passages of scripture can be looked at from different angles" - you say! "No one human being can think of all the perspectives...." you say! Yet this IS exactly what EGW did - IN HER OWN DEVIOUS WAY - and set it down as God's truth for her church....and she wanted EVERYONE to believe in her too....when some didn't, that didn't sit well with her. Among the numerous false beliefs she taught her church, then , and so it continues, that except for SDA'S, all other Christians are "infidels, unclean..." and whatever else she wrote - which are ABSENT in the Word of God! In closing, there is but One angle and One perspective in that it ALIGNS with the whole counsel of God. There is UNITY in Scripture because "scripture interprets scripture" and there is UNITY in the BODY OF CHRIST - HIS CHURCH - for He has made all believers ONE in HIM. Any teaching and preaching that deviates from that cannot be right; it can never be truth!

This text has nothing to do with animals BUT KOSHER practice

To avoid you being deceived by SDA false prophetess with her false gospel.😊

Also to help those who have been brainwashed by the SDA movement to unlearn its false gospel through the teaching of the Bible

To save the lost/deceived SDAs

True Christians also want to have a healthy lifestyle, as best we can, while living in this fallen world. However we also know that our health whether it be, good or bad, has no bearing on our eternal security that we receive when we believe. Unlike the teaching of the SDA’s counterfeit organizations false “messenger“ E.G. White when she declared those who eat meat could not be translated. "Those who indulge in meat-eating will not be translated to heaven. *Those who have indulged in meat-eating* will be proportionately weak in moral power, clarity of discernment, and firmness of principle, in comparison with those who have lived in a manner simpler and healthier. *The carnivore will not receive translation."* *Counsels on diet and food, specifically from the 1890 edition, page 49.*

You seem to have missed Genesis 9:3 3 Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

Jesus (God Almighty) says one just eats food and crap it out, thus food doesn't defile a person. It what is inside a person's heart that defiles himself or herself.

Wrong question. Eat whatever and however you want. If you want to follow Old Covenant Law go for it. But if you insist that others should also, you might be advocating that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ isn't enough. But it most certainly is.

​@@SwimdaddycycleNT TOUCH not the unckean thing and i will receive u unto myself, saith the LORD!!!

@@Swimdaddycycle So the reason unclean meats were not eaten before Christ died was? And since Jesus died now it's okay. Someone has some explaining to do. Seems like there is more logic in eating unclean meats before Christ died, sinners/pagans and gentiles were considered unclean. "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God". What God has made good he doesn't turn around and say it's bad. Adam and Eve did not eat unclear meats: snakes, crab, catfish, animals that clean up garbage, even today we have made cow illness in clean animals. Why would encourage eating something that could make you sick.

​@@Swimdaddycycle Jesus said, Unless you eat My flesh and drink My blood you have no part with Me" This would not be physical but Spiritual. This would be clean not unclean.😅😅
