What food can we eat?

[FollowerofYeshua]

What foods are ok to eat without bracking the law? Also were in the bible does it say which foods are clean and unclean? I'd like to start eating only kosher foods and I've been reading and I'm not exactly sure what I can and can not eat. Is it ok to eat chicken? What meats can I eat?

You can always do the garden of eden diet, for that is what we will be going abck to for the eternity life. In the wilderness of sin, God tried them on the diet but it was still a little too early for "angel" food. and Daniel turned out better than his collegues when him and his buddies did it.

One thing about the vegie diet is that you do not have to worry about the unclean critters.

I was on the veggie diet for ten years and I beleive it has a lot to do with my "young than my years' appearance.

You'll find clean and unclean animals listed in Leviticus chapter 11.

Basically, you can eat chicken, turkey, lamb, beef, veal, fish with fins and scales.

We are commanded not to eat pigs, rabbit, and any sea creature without scales (which would include: all shellfish, squid, octopus, shark, some tunas, swordfish, dolphin, whale, etc.)

We are also forbidden to eat the blood of any animal.

There are numerous other animals we can and cannot eat, but as I said, these are the basics.

I gots a quick question: Why would G-d make animals that he didn't want us to eat? Unless they were there for temptation?

I don't quite understand your question. I mean, when you see a gorilla or opossum or monkey are you tempted to eat them?

 

[Buccaneer]

What about SNAKES??

nar aquatic (all) snakes have scales. are snakes clean?
Also is it okay to eat a fish you caught with a shrimp? I know it sounds picky but alot of orthrodox jews wont even eat meat on the same plate that had milk on it, so this isnt really too stupid to ask.

 

[Sephania]

No Shrimp! And snakes???? Why would you even want to eat such a thing that HaSatan is represented by?

No, No, NO!

Here are some of the links I have that are good to read regarding all aspects of Kosher.

If your not allowed to have dairy and meat on the same plate then is it not ok to have a sandwich containing cheese and chicken.

All creatures with fins AND scales are clean.

Just fins and NO scales = unclean
Just scales and NO fins = unclean

All of Yahweh's creatures have a purpose, whether it be food for human consumption, scavengers of the earth and waters to keep them clean, part of the food chain, to regenerate the flora, etc. etc. etc.

Not everything was created as food for humans and Yahweh certainly did not put them on the earth to tempt us. He clearly tells us in Leviticus 11, which of His creation He intended for our consumption.

Now that is not exactly a command from Yahweh,.... do not mix meat and dairy...

The whole idea of not mixing these two foods comes from
Deuteronomy 14:21
Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

However, I have heard several people say that they feel very heavy in the stomach after eating meat and dairy together.

There could be something in it.

I know camels are unclean, but what about their milk?


Gen 32:13 He lodged there that night, and took from that which he had with him, a present for Esav, his brother:

Gen 32:14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,

Gen 32:15 thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.

 

[Sephania]

Another way to say female?

 

[Buccaneer]

still never answered if it is alright to eat a clean fish which you caught using a shrimp as bait.

 

[Katydid]

Who uses shrimp as bait???? I have no clue the answer to your question, I wish I did, but you know, who uses shrimp as bait?????

 

[Buccaneer]

I used to salt water fish every weekend years ago. Shrimp is a very good bait to use and if the fish bite at shrimp being bait they consume wild shrimp as well. if kosher foods eat nonkosher do we inhereit that uncleaness as well?

 

[Katydid]

WOW!!! I never realized that shrimp were bait. OK now I am curious because that means we would have to be careful about what kind of fish we buy.

 

[Buccaneer]

Haha hardly. I doubt it is that its not okay. By that same principal wed be okay eating soem unclean animal which eats clean ones (like a tiger to a goat)
