1Tim.4:
1(YLT) And the Spirit expressly speaketh, that in latter times shall certain fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons,
2in hypocrisy speaking lies, being seared in their own conscience,
3forbidding to marry — to abstain from meats that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those believing and acknowledging the truth,
4because every creature of God [is] good, and nothing [is] to be rejected, with thanksgiving being received,
5for it is sanctified through the word of God and intercession.
Matt.15:
10 And having called near the multitude, he said to them, ‘Hear and understand:
11not that which is coming into the mouth doth defile the man, but that which is coming forth from the mouth, this defileth the man.’
12Then his disciples having come near, said to him, ‘Hast thou known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?’
13And he answering said, ‘Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant shall be rooted up;
14let them alone, guides they are — blind of blind; and if blind may guide blind, both into a ditch shall fall.’
15And Peter answering said to him, ‘Explain to us this simile.’
16And Jesus said, ‘Are ye also yet without understanding?
17do ye not understand that all that is going into the mouth doth pass into the belly, and into the drain is cast forth?
18but the things coming forth from the mouth from the heart do come forth, and these defile the man;
19for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, evil speakings:
20these are the things defiling the man; but to eat with unwashen hands doth not defile the man.’
Hi One Son, welcome and nice to meet you here
Let's look at the scriptures in details...
Matthew 15:10-20
[10], And he called the multitude, and said to them, Hear, and understand:
[11], Not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.
[12], Then came his disciples, and said to him, Know you that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
[13], But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up.
[14], Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
[15], Then answered Peter and said to him, Declare to us this parable.
[16], And Jesus said, Are you also yet without understanding?
[17], Do not you yet understand, that whatever enters in at the mouth goes into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
[18], But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
[19], For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
[20], These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashed hands defiles not a man.
The above scriptures are also repeated as a variation in Mark 7:15-20 *
Mark 7:15, 18-19 These scriptures are a repetition of
Matthew 15 where JESUS is showing that it is not the washing hands, plates or cups that defiles a man but sin that originates in the heart of man. Jesus
does not say anywhere that there is now no longer clean and unclean dietary laws so what you claim here is
not biblical. There is
no scripture that says God has abolished the dietary laws and JESUS definitely does not say this in
Matthew 15 or
Mark 7.
Your next key scripture is from Timothy...
1 Timothy 4:4-5 For every creature of God
is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; 5
FOR IT IS SANCTIFIED BY THE WORD OF GOD AND PRAYER.
This is a reference of foods that can be eaten that are
sanctified by the word of God and prayer. This is a reference back to what foods
God says are clean and unclean (Word of God). This scripture is not a reference saying you can now eat anything you want to eat, as that would not be
sanctified by the Word of God. The Word of God says to make a difference between what is clean to eat and what is not clean to eat in
Leviticus 11 and
Deuteronomy 14
Then we have this...
Philippians 3:18-19 [18], For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: [19], WHOSE END IS DESTRUCTION, WHOSE GOD IS THEIR BELLY, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.
Then we have these scriptures talking about the second coming here...
Isaiah 66:16-17 [16], For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many. [17], They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, EATING SWINES FLESH, and THE ABOMINATION, AND THE MOUSE, SHALL BE CONSUMED TOGETHER, SAYS THE LORD. [18], For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory....
Somethings we are taught in the Church are not always what the bible says. Something to pray about dear friend.
