(CLV) 1Ti 4:1
Now the spirit is saying explicitly, that in subsequent eras some will be withdrawing from the faith,

Have those, who are obedient to YHWH's perfect Torah, withdrawn from faith?

giving heed to deceiving spirits

Was Leviticus 11 given by deceiving spirits?

and the teachings of demons,

Is Leviticus 11 the teachings of demons?

(CLV) 1Ti 4:2
in the hypocrisy

Are those who claim to follow YHWH, while observing Leviticus 11, hypocrites?

of false expressions, their own conscience having been cauterized;

Is Leviticus 11 a lie?

(CLV) 1Ti 4:3
forbidding to marry,

Does Leviticus 11 forbid marriage?

abstaining from foods,

Does Leviticus 11 tell us that unclean animals are food?

which God creates to be partaken of with thanksgiving by those who believe and realize the truth,

Did YHWH declare that it's OK to disobey his word with thanksgiving?

(CLV) 1Ti 4:4
seeing that every creature of God is ideal and nothing is to be cast away, being taken with thanksgiving,

Are unclean creatures given as food of YHWH?

(CLV) 1Ti 4:5
for it is hallowed through the word of God and pleading.

Are unclean creatures "hallowed" (set apart) through YHWH's perfect Torah? If so; what are they set apart from?

Can we plead with YHWH to change his perfect Torah for us? Will YHWH entertain such pleas?


(CLV) 1Ti 4:6
By suggesting these things to the brethren, you should be an ideal servant of Christ Jesus, fostering with the words of faith and of the ideal teaching which you have fully followed.

Didn't Yahshua's entire ministry, teach obedience to YHWH's perfect Torah, unto death?

(CLV) 1Ti 4:7
Now profane and old womanish myths refuse,

Is Leviticus 11 an old wives tale?

yet exercise yourself in devoutness,

Is ignoring YHWH's perfect Torah, an exercise of devotion?

What is the truth?

(CLV) Ps 119:142
Your righteousness is eonian righteousness, And Your law (Torah) is truth.

Really? Acts Chapter 15. The entire Epistle to the Galatians. The Epistle to the Hebrews. Those under the Death live under the Old Law. Those in the New Life are not bound by the totality of the Old Law.

Study what the Israelites did before God commanded those dietary laws? You'll find they were an extremely disobedient people to the God who loved them so much. Our God can be strict when we disobey him, yet gracious to those who love him. He never changes in his covenant/promise, but he had to discipline the Israelites when they thought they could do what they liked.

Christ said its not what goes into the mouth, its what comes out of it.... and this is a faithfull saying, but if we become gluttons in our food, forget to thank the Lord for providing it and neglect our health we have only ourselves to blame.

In this age, i would not be surprised if those dietary laws are related to health. Daniel was a vegetarian at 13 years of age when captured by Nebuchadnezzar. Reading the 1st chapter of Daniel and you will understand in a spiritual sense that he didn't eat meat (because the life is in the blood and Nebuchadnezzar never gave thanks to God for the meat God provided for his table and the blood would not have been drained from the animal). Daniel didn't even drink the wine from the kings table and even at that young age he knew his appearance in 10 days would be healthier than others at the kings table.

Don't think Leviticus 11 is some command you have to live by letter by letter or in some form of legalism today, reflect on it and learn from it.

The New Covenant surpasses the Old Covenant .

god Bless.

Those letters say no such thing. YHWH doesn't have warring squirrels living in his head. There is harmony in his word. If we believe that his words contradicts itself; and that we can attack one set of instructions with another set of instructions; then we aren't understanding his words correctly.

I don't want to go jumping all over the Bible in this thread. Let's examine Leviticus 11 in the context of Paul's first letter to Timothy.

Yahshua was talking about the man made doctrine of washing hands before eating bread. Certainly you aren't suggesting that a man made doctrine of Ignoring YHWH's perfect Torah, was coming out of Yahshua's mouth?

You could have a thread starting here which will go round and round with over 1000 pages. Christ fulfilled the OT law. You as a Christian do not have to live by the OT law to enter heaven, you will never be able to live by the law, its impossible. Living in faith through Christ's one-time sacrifice at Calvary is the only way to achieve salvation and enter eternity. Follow the disciplines and instructions of Paul, Peter and others in the NT, disciplines which there are no law against.

god Bless

Christ's answer to the Pharisees.........Christ fulfilled the law. The Pharisees couldn't understand his sayings and grew frustrated as they were breaking the same law Christ corrected them with.

I can see that you are new here. You might want to review the SOP of this forum.

Christ fulfilled the OT law.

(CLV) Ro 8:4
that the just requirement of the law may be fulfilled in us, who are not walking in accord with flesh, but in accord with spirit.

You as a Christian do not have to live by the OT law

Again:

(CLV) Lk 16:17
Yet it is easier for heaven and earth to pass by than for one serif of the law to fall.

you will never be able to live by the law, its impossible.

(CLV) 1Jn 5:3
For this is the love of God, that we may be keeping His precepts. And His precepts are not heavy,


(CLV) Dt 30:11
For this instruction that I am enjoining on you today, it is neither too difficult for you, nor is it too far off.

(CLV) Dt 30:12
It is neither in the heavens for you to say: Who shall ascend to the heavens for us and take it for us and announce it to us that we may do it?

(CLV) Dt 30:13
Nor is it across the sea for you to say: Who shall cross across the sea for us and take it for us and announce it to us that we may do it?

(CLV) Dt 30:14
For the word is exceedingly near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, to do it.

Living in faith through Christ's one-time sacrifice at Calvary is the only way to achieve salvation and enter eternity.

1 John 2:3-6
Complete Jewish Bible

3 The way we can be sure we know him is if we are obeying his commands. 4 Anyone who says, “I know him,” but isn’t obeying his commands is a liar — the truth is not in him. 5 But if someone keeps doing what he says, then truly love for God has been brought to its goal in him. This is how we are sure that we are united with him. 6 A person who claims to be continuing in union with him ought to conduct his life the way he did.

ollow the disciplines and instructions of Paul, Peter and others in the NT, disciplines which there are no law against.

(CLV) Ac 25:8
Paul defending that "Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the sanctuary, nor against Caesar did I any sin."

(CLV) 1Co 11:1
Become imitators of me, according as I also am of Christ.

You have yet to answer one question from the OP.

I knew this was going to get into a 1000 page thread. i think you are picking and choosing what Paul says regarding law's. Mixing up the laws of being a Roman citizen to the behaviour and commands of Christ as a believer in him and living in him.

If you want to continue living by the OT law (laws which the pharisees and chief Priests) couldn't even live by, don't let me stop you. I can't. Only the Holy Spirit will convict you.

Galatians 4

4 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;

2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.

3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:

4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.

9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.

11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all.

13 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.

14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

15 Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.

16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

17 They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.

18 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.

19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,

20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.

21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?

22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.

23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.

24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.

25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.

28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.

31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

Some people adhere to it ... some do not. We aren't suppose to argue about it.

Romans 14:3

3The one who eats everything must not belittle the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted him. 4Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

I really wanted to discuss the verses presented in the OP; but we seem to keep going off on tangents.

If you want to continue living by the OT law (laws which the pharisees and chief Priests) couldn't even live by,

(CLV) Lk 1:5
There came to be, in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zechariah, of the routine of Abiah, and his wife, of the daughters of Aaron, and her name is Elizabeth.

(CLV) Lk 1:6
Now they were both just in front of God, going in all the precepts and just statutes of the Lord, blameless.

(CLV) Jb 1:1
There was a man in the land of Uz. Job was his name. This man was flawless and upright, fearing Elohim and keeping away from evil.

(CLV) Php 3:6
in relation to zeal, persecuting the ecclesia, in relation to the righteousness which is in law, becoming blameless.

I get it, you're a Judaizer. You believe that Christ is not sufficient for salvation, instead, just like the Judaizers among the Galatians, you insist upon following the old Law of Death. It is very telling that you want to restrict everything to merely Lev 11 and Timothy instead of looking at the New Testament as a whole. You already know that looking at the New Testament will reveal that you are merely attempting to sow lies and discord.

I have answered you with the proper Scripture. Where, in Timothy, does it say that we are to never consult anything but that specific epistle?

This that you don't accept the law of God doesn't mean that it is not active for the visible and the invisible world.

3The one who eats everything must not belittle the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted him. 4Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

(CLV) Ro 14:1
Now the infirm in the faith be taking to yourselves, but not for discrimination of reasonings.

(CLV) Ro 14:2
One, indeed, is believing to eat all things, yet the infirm one is eating greens.

(CLV) Ro 14:3
Let not him who is eating be scorning him who is not eating. (fasting) Yet let not him who is not eating (fasting) be judging him who is eating, for God took him to Himself.

Not eating is called fasting.

(CLV) Ro 14:4
Who are you who are judging Another's domestic? To his own Master he is standing or falling. Now he will be made to stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

(CLV) Ro 14:5
One indeed, is deciding for one day rather than another day, yet one is deciding for every day. Let each one be fully assured in his own mind.

(CLV) Ro 14:6
He who is disposed to the day, is disposed to it to the Lord; and he who is eating, is eating to the Lord, for he is thanking God. And he who is not eating, (fasting) to the Lord is not eating, (fasting) and is thanking God.


This passage tells the readers not to squabble over which days to fast. YHWH gave no commands on which days to fast.

We can find an example of these set fast days in Luke 5: 33-35


How does any of this answer any of the questions presented in the OP?
