When a spirit comes, and tells me that it's OK to ignore YHWH's perfect Torah; how do I test that spirit?
The test of a spirit is whether or not it confesses Jesus as Lord. If it is of God, it will confess that Lord Jesus came in the flesh. People can disagree about doctrine, but not about the person of the Lord Jesus.

So of the spirit says that Master Yahshua came in the flesh; then it's all good; or does it have to say Lord Jesus came in the flesh?

Hello @HARK!, I'm not sure why you would need to test a spirit that tells you to ignore any portion of the Bible, so a little context here would be helpful.

Thanks!

Compare what any spirit says to the Torah, and if it doesn’t line up...

What if the spirit tells you that it's ok to have a BLT for lunch tomorrow? ;)

That's why I asked @HARK! for a little context in my last post.

If a spirit told me that, I would know that it’s not the Spirit of God.

John says not to believe every spirit; but to test them.

(CLV) 1Jn 4:1
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are of God, for many false prophets have come out into the world.

There's a prime example of a spirit that would contradict Yahshua.

Hello again @HARK! & @Dkh587, just to be clear, do you guys believe that YHWH is opposed to a Christian eating bacon? If so, why do you think that?

Thanks :)

Thanks David,

Yes. His Ruach told me that. I found it in his perfect Torah; and it seems that his Ruach was backing up his perfect Torah.

Is there a better way to test this?

¡hola!

it is abominable to God to eat any unclean animal, so yes, he is opposed to Christians eating unclean animals.

followers of Messiah are called to holiness, not uncleanness.

it is abominable

The abominable part....I forgot about the abominable part.

It seems that some Christians believe that YHWH changed; and that some of the abominations are OK now. I can't find a list of the OK abominations in scripture though.

Pigs are listed among animals that are not food for us .... it's a health issue ... not a sin issue.
