The dietary laws, of Lev 11, that separated the descendants of Abraham
and the Gentiles were abolished with the death and resurrection of
Jesus Christ. All men are descendants of Noah. In 1 Timothy 4:1-4,
Paul is referring to this blessing that God gave to Noah after the
flood:
"AND GOD BLESSED NOAH AND HIS SONS, and said unto them, Be fruitful,
and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the
dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every
fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the
fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. EVERY MOVING
THING THAT LIVETH SHALL BE MEAT FOR YOU; EVEN AS THE GREEN HERB HAVE I
GIVEN YOU ALL THINGS. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the
blood thereof, shall ye not eat. " Gen 9:1-4
THAT BLESSING IS FOR ALL MEN!

Donna answers Andrew ....
Jesus said:
" ... Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that
WHATSOEVER thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile
him; Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and
goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts,
adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness,
deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
All these evil things come from within, and defile the man." Mark
7:18-23 (KJV)
Andrew, you cannot use Isaiah 65 or Isa 66:15-18 to sup****t the SDA
heresy (The gospel of Health Reform) that makes vegetarianism a
requirement for salvation. Your contrivance fails because "clean
animals" were eaten; and all Israel was commanded to eat the annual
Passover lamb.
Jesus, the apostles, Daniel, and the people of Isaiah 65 and 66 were
all born during the time when the Mosiac Law was in effect. The food
laws of Leviticus 11 were an added requirement for a covenant
relation****p with The Father that ended with the death and
resurrection of Jesus Christ.
When you quote either Isaiah 65 or 66:15-18 as a requirement for New
Testament believers, it is obvious that you do not understand the
difference
between The Ten Commandments and the Mosaic Law.*
The food warnings of Isaiah 65 and 66: applied to people who were
required to obey the food laws of Leviticus 11 and THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS. The food did not defile those men. It was their
disobedience to God that defiled them and resulted in their
punishment.
