Something else to remember is that today's kosher laws are somewhat different than those given to Moses. The Rabbis have added to the rules. Jesus dealt with the leaders of His day in making their own traditions & setting up man made rules & deeming them more important.
@Truthhurts413 Says:
I heard an interesting take on this and that is, in the Greek there are 2 words for “unclean” koinos which means “common” and akatharton which means “unclean” these people argue in the Greek the word koinos is used in Roman’s 14, peters vision, and in mark 7. Meaning unwashed hands or defiled meat you CAN eat. But the dietary laws of the old covenant still stand. Thoughts?

@amansdreamwillneverdie708 Says:
If Jesus was truly the Son of God, everything he ate would have been purified by his bodily fluids. So he probably never had any illnesses in his life. Furthermore, given his dual nature, he would never die of hunger or thirst, even if he could experience them.
@sonnyh9774 Says:
Absolutely, God cares about what we eat. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Ghost and we are stewards or managers of this temple, so putting crappy food and drinks that are destructive and negatively impact the "temple" should be avoided. Why wipe feces on the temple walls when you could use something more wholesome, pleasing, and aromatic ... in a positive sense. Too many Christians are over weight and sickly because they eat comfort food full of sugars and various other carbs.... and meats full of chemicals.... taking the cheap route and buying the crap food. Joel Salatin said "pay the farmer or pay the doctor". The choice is yours. Better food leads to better gut health which leads to better quality of life with better rest and more energy. God cares about what we eat.

God created capitalism and capitalism allows you to eat anything. Thus you a Christian can eat anything he or she favors.
@DenisReginold Says:
I'm mostly vegan, because i believe it is God's original and ideal diet according to Genesis 1:29 to maintain my health, but i do eat meat occasionally if necessary but i eat only meat that is permitted in the "Dietery laws" or "Kosher" meat, and i believe that part of the reason behind keeping Israel seperate from the surrounding heathen nations was to give them a better and healthier way of life than those nations, which includes the way they ate, this also explains laws concerning washing, bathing, personal hygiene etc.
@Tony41christ Says:
I'm going to be making a video refuting what Frank is saying because he is dead wrong. Jesus never did away with the dietary laws. Nor did he have the authority to do so. I will post a link to my video when I finish in the comment section.
@Tony41christ Says:
Frank is such a liar. Jesus never did away with a dietary laws.
@SuttonCreative Says:
This is a really big topic in my house. My wife’s a vegan, I’m not.
According to the bible, I feel the dietary restrictions are removed. So I’m free to eat what I like. However, the cruelty that animals go through just to get to our plates is staggering… I can’t believe that God is happy with that or would want me to buy into that?
The conclusion I’ve come too… does God care what I eat? No. Does God care how we treat his creation… yes.

So if the dietary laws were the old convent, then so was homosexuality. So under the new convent it's ok to be gay. Thanks Turek.

@franksantiago9366 Says:
I have a question about that. I recently (about 2 years now) went vegetarian or vegan to help heal my diabetes, which it has; I stopped eating meat, specially pork. Now, where did Jesus did away with the dietary laws. Is it okay to eat pork, seafood like lobster, shrimp, etc? I just want to learn about this. Thank you. God bless you all.

Unpopular opinion.
But there is no such thing as dietary law.
It is technically a dietary guidelines and it is to set the Israelites different from other nations.
Yes, there's a mention of clean and unclean animals or food. But it doesn't mean you gonna be sinless.
Jesus already says a lot about this. There's a lot of references in the new testament
Just an insight (not speaking for one). Jesus doesn't want people who follow traditions for the sake of following it. And not knowing the reason.
@onepercentpermile Says:
Frank
I find it very interesting that you took down a very nice comment I posted yesterday, about Jake Hilton wanting to do a friendly debate with you on the dietary law issue.
So I guess my real question is, why will you not cross examine?
@dustinfordham4007 Says:
The question at hand is invalid because it stems from an incorrect assumption. There is no place in scripture that forbids eating dairy products with meat. That is a rabbinic tradition kept by some Jews, not one of the commands that Jesus gave to Moses at Sinai. It was not a rabbinically "kosher" meal, but it was biblically clean.
As for those saying that the Law couldn't apply in Genesis because the qualifiers for clean and unclean weren't revealed until Leviticus and Deuteronomy, this argument doesn't stand. The context of the book of Genesis is that it was written after the events of the Exodus to an audience that had already been commanded concerning how to identify clean and unclean animals.
@wisdomdesignedlife Says:
Are foods offered to idols prohibited to eat by Christians even in private? Some argues that Allah the god who begets not, is an idol... and some group argues that the process of halal is a form of offering. Though I do not necessarily agree with these assumptions, my question is how do we square Acts 15:29 foods offered to idols, blood, strangled animals as being prohibited with Jesus blanket statement that it is not what enters the mouth that defiles man but that which go out of the heart...
@PazCristo Says:
WWJD is a fraud of legalism. If WWJD means ‘we need to do what Jesus did and not to do what Jesus did not do base on the Bible’. Then why those WWJD followers excrete ever day? The Bible never mentioned Jesus but Saul and Eglon did excrete.
@FirefighterAliveJC Says:
I 100% agree. But what do you say to the person who counters that and says that logic can apply to laws against homosexuality?
@bd6912 Says:
Awesome! 🔪🐈🍽😋
@rudydominguez196 Says:
Noah knew the difference between clean and unclean animals, so these rules did exist to some extent even before Moses.
Even though we, as gentiles, are allowed to eat unclean animals, I still try to avoid them to the best of my ability. If God didn't allow unclean animals in his temple, then I will try my best not to put unclean animals in my body (his temple).
@gregtucker2378 Says:
Ok Frank... a bit more due diligence here:
Please better explain to us, what was Gods purpose in keeping Israel separate from other nations AND how does a "restrictive" dietary regimin accomplish this?
Thnx
@clementa2419 Says:
Why the thumbnail picture is weird?
@airplayrule Says:
The Bible orders that, "Thou shall not kill."
That is what the Sixth Commandment in Exodus orders. In Exodus 20.13 the original Hebrew reads lo tirtzach. That means, "You shall not do any kind of killing." This instruction is crystal-clear and is directly aimed towards us humans. God and the Christ are not less intelligent than us to say something that can be misunderstood, but rather are more careful and accurate. Throughout the Old and New Testament there are instructions regarding killing, and some for murder. So in this, one of the 10 commandments, the fact that it says not to kill shows the true believer is one who accepts and follows it by not killing. I checked in the King James Version from multiple sources to further confirm that the word kill is correct and the word murder has been used instead due to sinful frauds. Besides, if we pretend the instruction was not to murder, that’s a slippery slope for people to go back to getting away with killing many people that the law doesn't protect because some persons in charge decided it's not murder. That isn’t right. But people are now striving to alter the commandment to mean don’t murder the humans. It’s very possible other religious instructions will be altered upon seeing them. This is foolish and the Bible already gives exceptions to the rule (e.g. self-defense, punishment, holy war).
The Bible says (e.g. Genesis 1:20) that animals have a spirit and (Proverbs 12:10) also states, “A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” Jesus Christ compared his love for humanity to a hen's love for her brood in Luke 13:34. The Hebrew writings forbid inhumane cruelty towards animals of burden (Exodus 23:5 and Deuteronomy 22:6–7, 25:4).
Some persons don’t follow God’s orders and that doesn’t work out in various ways. For example, the Bible (multiple verses in Leviticus) says you can’t eat meat and specifies multiple animals. One of them is shrimp, which many so-called Jews, Christians eat. Because these Judeo-Christian teachings aren’t followed, persons use it as an argument by saying we don’t have to follow other things that go against Judeo-Christian values either. And again, many people may search and find a number of religious arguments against the fact that animals have needs and rights that must at least be respected and given some assistance. But that doesn’t change what is righteous. To answer a few arguments, if you believe Leviticus is only meant for Jewish people because it’s a part of the Old Testament, then why are so-called Jews eating any of the fish, birds, and other animals the Bible tells them not to. And how come Christians still refer to the Old Testament when they want to. And nowhere in the New Testament is there any direct reference to Jesus killing animals and eating their flesh.
The closest I could find to it was in Luke 24:41-43 where it seems that some translations have been altered, misunderstood etc. If Jesus did ask for meat, remember what Genesis says is for meat (not animals). Anyway it says he was given honey and that he, “…took it (the honey) and did eat.” It doesn’t say he took them (the fish and honey) both. Some versions seemed to have been revised and have him specifically requesting for meat and/or even delete the part about him being offered any honey altogether.
And even if he ate meat he never instructed that we need, or even should try, to eat meat. In cases where meat may have been at his table, or when Noah during the flood got permission to eat meat, or even when Jesus multiplied the fish for many starving people, these are examples of exceptions to the rule. When we don’t have a choice, then it maybe ok to eat some meat to survive.
It’s like how sometimes it isn’t a sin to eat other human bodies when you maybe stuck (e.g. the Donner Party). Most all religions have cases where humans were killed out of necessity. Does that mean it’s ok to kill people? No, because only sometimes for good to triumph is the lives of some needed to be sacrificed. And after the flood Noah found all vegetation was destroyed and so God gave Noah a concession, not a commandment, to eat meat. But we’re reminded (Genesis 9:4) that we should ideally not eat flesh from a living creature. Some may refer to animal sacrifices in the Bible, as if lives of animals is nothing and can be used for selfish desires of people. But again, even if this has some truth it was an exception to the rule only. The Bible (Hosea 8:13) states, “They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat flesh; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins...”
Isaiah 66:3 is interesting because it teaches that killing a particular animal can be extra bad to the point that it’s like killing a human. The animal that verse speaks of is the ox, or a bull, depending on the version. It sounds similar to Vedic Dharma. Either way it says, “He that killeth an ox (or a bull) is as if he slew a man…” It ends saying, “Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.”
Romans 14:17 states, “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”
Now the person who wrote Romans 14 seems to imply he thinks that nothing’s impure. That maybe just the author’s faulty bias, but even if we can confirm that God agrees, this also maybe a part of God’s plan to allow mlecchas some restricted meat eating in order to eventually get them on the right path of no meat eating and into the spiritual world. And either way, the Bible still says (Romans 14:21) that, “It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.” If you think that this verse means that God wants you to stop eating meat only if anyone feels mentally or physically offended or hurt, there are many people that are bothered by meat eating, and this is more common in other times too. So, for what ever reason you may believe, God confirms that you shouldn’t eat meat.
Farming is better not only for animals, but humans, n the planet, in many ways.
So far, every1 who tried some flavors after googling "Morningstar" or "Gardein" or "Beyond Meat" foods with "store locator" has thanked me. try it and let me know: I may upload a vid with more cool foods.
the channel "Playitalready" will give details n facts on how all the major religions n sciences stemmed from the Vedas, on everything in this comment, n on more, eventually.
@nothingbutthetruth613 Says:
How can he possibly know that there were no dietary laws then? There clearly were laws in the world or else there would have been no consequences for anyone doing things wrong. How can Sodom be punished if there was no law saying you could not rob? What did Egypt do wrong? How did Noah know what was unclean if he didn't have any laws yet? It's clear that there was at least some sort of structured law system that was in place from God long before the revelation at Sinai.

@nothingbutthetruth613 Says:
Everything he is saying is wrong and based on nothing it actually says. It says don't eat these foods. How much clearer could you get? The answer to the question of the title does God care what we eat is of course He does. If He didn't, He wouldn't have told anyone what to eat. Do I really have to spell this out? However, this is only for the Israelites and was never meant for other nations but God doesn't say things He doesn't mean. That frankly sounds like heresy. Btw where does the questioner in this video get the idea that they ate non-kosher food? It doesn't say that at all.
@jadugarqatil Says:
Lies! Lies! Lies! You lie in the name of Jesus, much like Paul. Fear accountability on the day of judgment.
@npsit1 Says:
Yes, in the Old Testament they had dietary restrictions. But after the flood, God told Noah in Genesis 9:2-3 "And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air, on all that move on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hand. Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs." Jesus later said that all food is clean in Mark 7:18-20, 'So He said to them, “Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?” And He said, “What comes out of a man, that defiles a man.' However I would still argue though that it would be sinful to eat meat that has been used as a sacrifice to another god as we're told in Acts 15:29, "We should abstain from food that has been offered to statues of gods, drinking blood, eating strangled animals and committing sexual sins."
@lheggestad Says:
2 problems here. 1, The question is wrong. Abraham's meal did not break any dietary law. "Kosher" is not a biblical requirement. It is a Rabbinic expansion on the law, a "fence" so to speak, to keep you from getting close to breaking the law. 2, the answer, Jesus did away with dietary laws, is not true. Jesus did not do away with dietary laws. What he did was he did away with the protectionism Jews used to separate themselves from gentiles - to bring gentiles into the fold. That is not doing away with the law. The law remains. And Jesus kept the law. Whether Christians are required to keep the law is a different question. But the law remains.

It's a lie that the OT laws were done away with when Jesus was crucified.
It's a lie that the OT laws were done away with in Acts 10
Jesus didn't die so we can eat pig. Still, prohibited to this day.
