Does God Care About What You Eat?
Do you think God is concerned about what we eat? Before you answer that, let me ask you this. Does God care about where you go? What you say? What you listen to? Then perhaps, He just might care about what we eat. Men, and women, spend a lot of time and effort trying to discover what is healthy for us to eat, and what is not. Believe it or not, our Father gave us good instructions in this area, if, we choose to listen. And after all, He should know!! A good place to check me out is in Leviticus. In chapter 3:17 He tells us not to eat fat or blood. Then in chapter 11, God gives us His list of those animals, fish and insects that we are allowed to eat. He also gives us a list of those that are unclean or an abomination to us. Remember, these are instructions from God. Once again, in chapter 20:25-26 He tells us we should make a distinction between what He calls clean and unclean foods and, now this is important, that we should be holy unto Him because we are His people. Now check out Isaiah 65:3-6 and Isaiah 66:15-24 and see what is said concerning a future judgment. He seems to really, really care about what we eat!! Now, many would say that God later changed His definition of food, that Jesus somehow gave us permission to eat the abominable. So let’s examine the question… Does Jesus (Yeshua) ever teach against His Father’s instructions for us? What about Paul or Peter? Let’s find out by going to those Scriptures that many believe justify changing God’s definition of food. READ MORE "Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain." (Ps 127:1)  |

I think he wants you to eat his kid, and drink his blood.

Isn't that the tee shirt Jesus wore when he drove out the money changers from the Temple? It was just a few days before he advocated cannibalism as a replacement for the Passover feast for his followers? So how in rabbinical law can you justify "cannibalism" as a dietary desire of the deity? Even figuratively? |

Passover feast was not replaced by Yahshua...

You are objecting to a theology view? Have you been to a communion service? Here's Jesus' own instructions: "While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you; for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins." Just what's the disruption? Is it the image that conjures? Did not the Father offer his son as a "food" - "...take, eat.." Is it not religious? Is not Christianity a 'blood cult'? Were not early Christians accused of cannibalism prior to the Church become the state religion in the 4th Century Roman world? Is it not a religious opinion? Even the Jews on here object to the language of the Christian communion. Such a notion is forbidden in the Old Testament, as is child Sacrifice – which apparently the act of Jesus on the cross is – and to which the Jews even object. Yet, this, I would think in the Christian mind, is the "food" god cares about Christians eating. Is it not? Which side are you taking? Are you permitted to take sides? Are you going to referee religious dialog? Are you going to decide who speaks for God or questions the doctrines of others? You certainly can. But what, pray tell, is “disruptive”? What is the criteria? Our has someone been "offended"? Are they Christian? And what does their founder, Jesus Christ say they should do when offended? This is a religious issue... and I am "in" the military as a civilian instructor and a veteran so I guess I fit the criteria for "religion in the military"? Many of the Christians posting here have been "disruptive" in their views and posting of Scripture. But, small matter... I'm sure they will whine when things don't appear as they want to in their efforts to monopolize the theme of the thread. You're not part of that "monopolization" effort, are you? |

Blessings ReduceTension,
As did most every Christian on here, I ignored your earlier post because it seemed to be baiting at most and not worthy of you. I debated much with myself before psoting but felt that I wanted to say a couple of things about this second post.
Dietary restrictions is what this post is about and your post misquoting an allegorical teaching is clearly disruptive to me. Just my $0.02, LJ |

Mainedawg, Question: Why is the comment considered disruptive? Is it becuase it was written by a non-Christian? Jesus (the Christian God) indicated that his body and blood were to serve as food and drink to his followers. That is written in the NT, if the idea is disruptive, Jesus started it! Ixcatzin |

all4truth, So Jesus' teachings are allegorical? Tell us what did Jesus REALLY mean when he talked about his body and blood? Why did he compare the bread and the wine with his body and his blood? Does that sound pagan? It does to me, because NOWHERE in the TANAK G-d talks about drinking blood! IT IS FORBIDEN and that is not an allegory. Why would Jesus EVEN mention his blood as a drink and his body as a meal?? Explain to us the TRUE meaning of Jesus 'allegory'. Thanks Ixcatl Interesting.... Ixcatzin |

Blessings ixcatzin,
Based on the order and wording of your two quotes, do you expect me to believe that you are really sincere in looking for an answer or trying to 'bait' for a response from me, a Christian? My rationale for asking you this question, so there is no confusion between. (1) In many posts and on multiple thread you have repeatedly called out WT for speaking of anything that is considered 'Judaism' and stated that he and I on ocassions should not write on things for which we are not part of. Yet you appeared to negate a non followers wording as disruptive when they speak on things for which they are not part. I would not expect such a contradictory position from a Jew. (2) You persist in taking the particular view that best fits your position "Jesus (the Christian God)" to justify your position. A more accurate and universally accepted statement would be "Jesus (The Christian Messiah)" but that would lessen your statements and not serve your pupose as well. (3) Since you already stated what Jesus meant, there is no need for me to make a statement. Since you did not phrase anything as a question, I can only conclude that your MIND IS MADE UP and so why put up a sham as if you are REALLY looking to get an understanding from me. (4) As for taking things out of context, I suggest you read what MOses said to Pharoah about the religious sacrifices that the Hebrews needed to make to their God and what the Egyptians might think of the required practices. Seemed to indicate that the Egyptians might think they were wierd since they did not understand. LJ P.S. My suggestion is for you is to be careful of: (a) splinters and logs (b) pots and kettles

John 6:53-65 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. 59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. 60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? 61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? 62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. 65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. His discourse with the multitude. The flesh and blood of the Son of man, denote the Redeemer in the nature of man; Christ and him crucified, and the redemption wrought out by him, with all the precious benefits of redemption; pardon of sin, acceptance with God, the way to the throne of grace, the promises of the covenant, and eternal life. These are called the flesh and blood of Christ, because they are purchased by the breaking his body, and the shedding of his blood. Also, because they are meat and drink to our souls. Eating this flesh and drinking this blood mean believing in Christ. We partake of Christ and his benefits by faith. The soul that rightly knows its state and wants, finds whatever can calm the conscience, and promote true holiness, in the redeemer, God manifest in the flesh. Meditating upon the cross of Christ gives life to our repentance, love, and gratitude. We live by him, as our bodies live by our food. We live by him, as the members by the head, the branches by the root: because he lives we shall live also. (Jn 6:60-65) "Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain." (Ps 127:1) |

Don’t quote me on this I am no bible scholar but my limited understanding is that the old covenants that God gave to Moses for the children of Israel were broken when Jesus died and “Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.” But only some and I don’t understand it clearly, one pastor explained it to me, as some were laws and they stayed but how they knew which were laws and which were not I do not know maybe all4truth or one of the other scholars has more information. God bless and protect all our people in harms way where ever they are. Pro Deo et Patria |

Blessings forgodandcountrysbc,
Thank you for your compliment but I am a very junior scholar if at all. But I would share three things that I have learned. (1) About the tearing of the veil. A OT Prophesy states taht God would make a new covenant with His people. One where one man would not have to teach another about Him. That His laws would be written on each of our hearts and we would worship Him as He commands. My understanding is that tearing of the veil symbolizes the new covenant where we once again can go straight to YHVH (Our Father in Heaven) through Our Lord, savior and High Priest Yahshua(Jesus). (2) Yahshua taught that not one law has been removed and that He came to fulfill the law and not to remove it. Just be careful to really understand what the real laws and what are the additions by men along the way. (3) YHVH is interested in your faith and belief. Yahshua will be right there with you to enable you to keep His laws and also to cover for you when you fail. Awesome they are and Glorius beyond my words to describe. Brother WT is very direct and TRUE in his teaching and sharing and you should go directly to him with any questions. I am sure he will share more based on your post here. LJ

Actually He speaks to me often otherwise our little Christian shop would have closed it doors long ago it’s just the more technical aspects I don’t know, despite having several pastors in the family line I am an electronics and radiation expert if I do give a sermon I keep it simple.
