Can We Eat All Things? (1 Timothy 4) - 119 Ministries
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 чер 2020
- 1 Timothy 4:4 is a verse often cited to support the typical understanding that God has abolished some of His commandments, specifically in this case, the dietary instructions. This appears to be a valid claim when the verse is examined in isolation. However, as soon as we employ sound hermeneutical principles by incorporating surrounding context, we find that 1 Timothy 4:4 actually teaches us that God's dietary instructions are not abolished at all. In fact, we find that 1 Timothy 4 actually proves that we should still be keeping God's dietary instructions. This 30 minute teaching is essential to anyone still struggling with Paul's letters and his teachings on the law.

Brother in christ I love the new and the old testament. The hole bible is truth still today and for ever, thanks for the scratchers
Every time this ministry says something like 'main stream Christianity believes"... I'm like yes, that is what I was taught too!
Then I learn so much from these topics.
I gotta confess, this is going to be a hard change for me. I have always been taught that Jesus completed the Law of Moses. I have always been taught such things. So now I have habits and likes that I need to change, all the while not being sure at all that my family will want to change too.
I am blessed by this teaching. Thank you.
@Mike N it was a false teaching, no truth in 119 Judaizing, Paul warned us of these false teachers. JESUS called them the synagogue of satan.
wow, so great to see when someone discovers, same case here, son of christian pastor, 28 years in Christianity, its hard but is a process you can't unsee once the Holy Spirit reveal it.
@@rickhuntling7338 false teacher according to the bible is to preach against the Law of God given to Moses (Deut 13) this ministry has a teaching about it.... no mainstream Christian pointing and teaching about false teaching mentions Deut 13 since all of them are false teachers
@@edgaralejos8989 @edgar alejos
I have a New Everlasting Covenant with the many, so why would Deut. apply to a me a gentile. No salvation in a land contract. You're teaching a false gospel from 119's seducing spirits and doctrines of devils; 1st Tim. 4:1-4
My JESUS fulfilled the law and all that the prophets said about HIM. HE said HE came for that reason. But you believe the jots and titles remain. "It is finished" was a lie, if the Torah law still remains in place. You call JESUS a liar, no truth in you nor 119 ministries.
Do the sacrificial jots and titles need be followed? My bible says they are fulfilled and "HE caused the sacrifice and oblation to cease" "it is finished". Acts 10 says HE made all things created clean that was unclean. Why do you call JESUS a liar? Kill and eat.
Some laws were given specifically to Israel. That’s where this debate needs to start.

Thank you for this! I’m fairly new to keeping Torah, and I’m constantly learning how God wands me to walk and defend my convictions through His word. He’s been confirming over and over that this IS the truth and the path I should be on.
Read the whole book of galatians straight through
And here’s a point I often bring up when people don’t understand - even today, we don’t eat every plant. Yes, according to the Bible every plant is given to us, but that doesn’t necessarily mean to use it for food. How many salads have you made with poison ivy leaves? Your cookbook didn’t have to explicitly tell you NOT to use certain plants because it’s understood not all are for food. Same thing for meat.

THANK YOU FOR SHOWING GODS TRUTH CONCERNING CLEAN AND UNCLEAN FOOD .
@patrickstannard5753 the dietary law is in the OT so it can't apply to NT believers like you and me. Study scripture don't be deceived by this sweet talker in u-tube. Many, many like you being deceived due to lack of knowldge of the bible..
@patrickstannard5753 you're being deceived by this false teacher as Christians are not under the Law of Moses (Rom:1-6; Mat5:17, Heb8:13, Jer31:31) inclusive of dietary law, the Sabbath, the ten commandments except for the moral principles and we're under the Law of Christ,
Love this video and you put it in a way that is easy to understand, may Eloah Bless you in YAHSHUA'S NAME. SHALOM BROTHER...
Thank you for this teaching well put and well said thank you Prasie YAH!
Thank you very much 119 ministries.
@119 Ministries Very well taught! very well taught.
Very well taught John. The whole word of God is righteous and truth.
LOL
Excellent teaching brother
Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters. One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died. Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.
This passage, to my study, is in regards to fasting specifically.
👍Awesome teaching brother 👍
👏🏼Thank you for sharing 👏🏼
🙏🏻YAH Bless🙏🏻
This is amazing!
Another great teaching.
Thank you so much!
Awesome finally the truth being taught! Excellent teachings!
Very well done.
HalleluYAH, powerful message
God has created meat to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.
I agree with all the breaking down of scriptures and that the dietary law never changed. And yes, Paul was an Israelite but, I think word “Jewish” is out of place here. Israel would be a better replacement. I know we get caught up in that word(Jewish) these days but, the prophets knew themselves by their tribe. Paul was from the tribe of Benjamin not, Judah. But, he was under the banner of Judah(including some Levite’s) bc of the land in that day.
God bless you
"....Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am Holy", says Almighty YHWH. "And you shall not make yourselves unclean..." This is the Law.....to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the edible creature and the creature which is not to be eaten." - Leviticus 11:44-47. All of YHWH's Laws are perfect and righteous, including His dietary instructions. "Enter by the narrow gate" which leads to life!! - Matthew 7:13-14. This teaching fosters nourishing words of faith, brothers!
Riiiiight, the narrow gate consists of not eating pork. I'm sure that's what Jesus meant.
Todd Cote, well we KNOW that Jesus never called Leviticus 11 a ‘Doctrine of Demons’ like you conclude. In fact Jesus never ate unclean meat 🥩. So do what Jesus did.
@@Husheo
Ok, you're first in the circumcision line though...
This is the most dangerous argument I’ve seen in the entire comment section by FAR. Jesus is the door to salvation. The gate that leads to life is certainly not dietary laws. The gate that leads to destruction is not eating pork or shellfish. Such a gross misapplication of such a fundamental doctrine throws everything you’ve said throughout this comment section into disrepute. Whether we should keep the Law of Moses or not is one thing, but implying that it has the power to save or condemn our souls is frankly counter-biblical and antichrist heresy. I hope that is not what you were saying, but it comes dangerously close. Be careful you don’t speak in a way that others may interpret your words as such.
Besides that, did you really need to go there? Does your argument really need that verse to support it, or did it just feel powerful to throw in there?
@@littlefishbigmountain the narrow path is jesus and jesus is the word, and part of the word is lev 11. Man cant keep it but jesus can. repenting means turn back to the word. lv 11 is part of the narrow way, its part of jesus
i think thats what he meant
Great teaching
Thanks so much!
Sometimes I wonder where all this people from the comments at, lol because where I am there is none that’s keeps Torah and it’s kind of sad.
I'm in KY
I’m not a hebew
Daniel, the only One who has kept Torah is Jesus, to keep Torah is to keep it perfectly and only Jesus is perfect
Ps some food for thought the Book of Hebrews clearly teaches that with the chAnge of the priesthood came a chAnge in the law , if you want to be under the Law , then you need the levitical priesthood ! The Bible says nothing about a Priesthood from Judah ( guess what tribe Jesus belonged to according to the flesh?? Judah
We aren't saved by our obedience , obedience is the fruit of being saved , "the Old Covenant made nothing perfect "
We are saved by Faith alone through Grace alone , by Christ alone to the Glory of God alone according to the scripture alone
Be a Berean search the scriptures to see if these things are so
Mike Winger has a good video on the Hebrew Roots movement I suggest you watch it

Thank you I appreciate your thoroughness regarding 1 Timothy 4:4-5 in showing how this scripture actually supports the food laws. It's very easy for some to misinterpret scripture....
I love Yeshua, with all my heart.
שבת שלום!
Thank you for this teaching. So many seem very intent on making me eat unclean things saying that Yeshua did away w the laws. For some reason it has become sticking point. It doesn't seem to affect them if I say I don't eat ice cream but to say I do not eat ham, bacon, shrimp, and (here in the south) catfish sends people into a righteous fit. I will be sharing this teaching w them perhaps since it comes from someone other than me they might at least listen.
Read Acts 15. The law of Moses was dealt with already. The judgement James gives is what was given to Noah. James did not establish the law as binding on new believers.
Anyone that teaches otherwise is opposed to Christ.
Yes, for about a decade I was a vegetarian. I didn’t care what others ate and never told them not to eat meat, but for some reason, they were always offended when they found out I didn’t. I always wondered what difference it made to them, after all, they wouldn’t ask why I chose beef over chicken for that meal. So why did they care about the rest? I think it was there conscience trying to prod them into looking deeper.
Todd Cote, you twist the Word of God. 1 TIMOTHY 4:1-5 does not contradict Acts 15. You conclude that Leviticus 11 is old wives fables and doctrines of demons, who also forbids men to marry. No Christian would ever call the Law of Yahweh a seducing spirit and fables.
@@toddcote4904 Did you watch the video fully? God is the same today, yesterday and forever. God bless you
Me too my Sunday community are a bit like this some of them have been, my sabbath community tho haven’t pressured. They only eat clean meats as they keep the Torah
beautiful
Can you see God on His throne saying...”AHHH!!! I gotta change that too?? All these instructions I need to correct because I really didn’t think this plan through thoroughly”. “So stupid of me to make pork unclean and make the seventh day the Sabbath. I should’ve know better. But hey, I got murder and stealing right. Fornication, I’m still on the fence about....possible new instructions forthcoming “. No.. Gods laws are for all people forever.
Yeah, let's give God a break! So, He just happened to write a temporary "ceremonial law" in stone, right next to nine eternal "moral Laws". Everybody's entitled to a mistake! *_D'oh!_*
right ?
@@sourmilkministries9445 which Tables? The originals Tables didn't last 5 minutes down the mountain. So much for stone never needing replaced. Where are the replacements today? My bible says nailed to the cross, obsolete, old school master, ready to vanish and contrary to us.

Why do Christians want to change God's word and find loopholes and taking words of apostles over what God commanded ..humans make mistakes.. God is very clear.. I would rather choose what God says over how Paul taught. It's easy to see Paul's writing in contradiction without putting it in context

thank you all so much Praise God this has been a struggle im my Life
SHALOM Brethren
Shalom!
I receive this as truth and the Spirit and the Word testify to it! And we know today that many people are unhealthy that are eating these foods that were commanded not to eat. Sadly many sickness and disease are caused by our disobedience.
Before the dietary law was written, it existed. The average person believes Noah took 2 by 2 of each animal. Not true..
Genesis7:2-3
2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are👉🏾 not clean by two, the male and his female.
3 Of fowls also of the air by 👉🏾sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
Like the Ten Commandments. The dietary law is valid throughout all generations.
*_The Old Covenant cannot Sanctify anymore_*
The teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ were not meant to be changed. Unlike the Law of Moses or the Ten Commandments, they were given to be observed until the end of the world.
(Matthew 28:20) *“Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”*
The Law of Moses was until John.
(Luke 16:16) *“The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.”*
The Law of Moses was for the Israelites.
(Malachi 4:4) *“Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.”*
These are God’s commandments given to Moses on the mountain and was called by God the “Law of Moses”. Just like the commandments given by God to Jesus Christ for Christians, which was called “The Law of Christ”.
(Galatians 6:2) *“Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”*
The Law of Christ came from God; just like the Law of Moses.
(John 12:49-50) *“For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting:whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.”*
What is this “Law of Moses” given to him by God on the mountain, that has with it statutes and judgment?
(Exodus 31:18) *“And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.”*
These are the Ten Commandments written on two tables of stones with the finger of God.
(Deuteronomy 4:13) *“And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.”*
It is also called “The Covenant”, which, later, was declared the _“Old Covenant”._
(Hebrews 8:13) *“In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.”*
It was the law that was changed when the priesthood was changed.
(Hebrews 7:12) *“For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.”*
Jesus Christ succeeded Moses and his priesthood.
(Hebrews 3:1-4) *“Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honor than the house.”*
In the Christian dispensation, the Law of Moses can not sanctify anymore!
(Acts 13:39) *“And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.”*
Thus, the change in Sabbath
Yuno Gasai 17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Matthew 5:17-18
Yuno Gasai 11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and
have not works? can faith save him?
James 2:11-14
Yuno Gasai 26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
Hebrews 10:26-30
Yuno Gasai
The law is still intact.. The only law done away is the sacrificial law or animal sacrifice. In fact the new covenant says the law will be written in our hearts.. Peace in Jesus name

Food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do. Because the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. REV2:14
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. REV2:20
The above words are printed in red in my bible. Cheers
wow, what a Christian response!! nooo the bible show it does and will make his anger fall over those who eat unclean food
@@AnHebrewChild Are we ignoring Romans 14?
Amen.
Superb breakdown of that scripture, YAH be praised 💯 ❤️ 📖🙌
The diet was never changed. But in Acts 22, Peter's dream was about the Jews who were not allowed to have dinner at the same table as a Gentile were now allowed. Meaning, the Gentiles had the same opportunity to be saved or set apart for the kingdom of heaven.
The apostle Paul warns against conscienceless men who put on a display of sanctification that is false, “forbidding to marry, commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be partaken of with thanksgiving by those who have faith and accurately know the truth. The reason for this is that every creation of God is fine, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is sanctified through God’s word and prayer over it.” If God’s Word declares a thing clean, it is clean, and the Christian, by giving thanks for it in prayer, accepts it as sanctified, and God counts him clean in eating.
Sanctified by his words as in Explicit instructions on holiness in Leviticus 11. Not word or prayer. Word AND prayer. Thank You God for clean foods. The Holy Spirit will not guide you to eat meats declared unclean neither will Jesús because it’s three entities in one, the Triune God. Thus, Jesus does not permit us to eat food unclean and neither does HOLY (set apart) Spirit as they would not contradict scripture.
All scripture is God Breathed and profitable..
2 Timothy 3:16-17.
its clean per scripture set in stone already
amen. Ronald 100% correct.
That inspiration means God-breathed.
Not all people have access to clean foods. Most poor people will die in starvation if they follow this rules. I think Acts 10 means that we should not judge people who eat unclean foods or do unclean act but still encourage them to Gods teaching. If you can afford and avoid eating unclean foods then its best but eating unclean food because you have no money to buy anything will not also make you a sinner. Jesus die for one of this reason.
For God judge the heart and not the stomach. The food we eat will not clean or defile our soul but what we put in our hearts and act in our lives.
I think it all hangs on whether one believes that Jesus nailed the law to the cross or if He did not nail the law to the cross. If digging deeper, it shows that Jesus did not nail the law to the cross.
I believe God gave into their heart because he loves us. To me it’s like go ahead and eat what you want but I told you in Leviticus 11 how to eat, and Genesis 1:29 and if you get ill it’s their own fault.
When we are told to be holy like Christ is holy, and to keep His commandments, it makes sense that if we are to be 'set apart' then we are to be different from the world. If Jesus did away with the law, then what makes us different apart from our faith? Yes that is important, but for most other things how do we differ from the world? God's laws made the Israelites set apart, so it makes sense that those laws still stand today. I was a vegetarian for most of my life, and have only recently started trying little bits of meat here and there, so these food laws never really affected me but I will not eat what the Lord has not made for food.
Thank you for these videos.
They Pharisees believed that Moses came down from the mountain with 10 commandments and a oral law
Excellent!❤😂🎉😊😅
I do not remember having ever heard the book of Timothy being used to teach that all food is now considered clean in my almost 60 year lifetime. Usually the book of Acts and the Gospels are used.
@Julie L I understand that... I was just wondering why they targeted this verse, when none of the teachings I knew of had every used it to justify eating all foods by believers in Jesus Christ. I would figure they would have an easier time with the Acts, if they avoid Paul upbraiding Peter for going back to the dietary law while living with the gentile believers when the other Jews had come.
Acts 10:11-17 teaches all things are made clean to eat. It took Peter three times to convince him the dietary laws are no longer a barrier. Any believer can read this truth no matter the 119 scriptural gymnastics they put it through.
The truth will set you free.
✝❤
I hope you realize that vision was talking about the Gentiles. You have to let scripture interpret scripture.
@Mommy Made It Also foods. What actual spiritual benefit does avoiding shellfish is obtained for a believer that deeply loves Jesus & His neighbors?
@rickhuntling7338 literally read the rest of Acts 10, and Peter states that the vision was referring to the believers who are of gentile origin. He literally went after that vision to the Italian company in which they, and everyone there accepted messiah and was baptized. The next chapter reiterates it when Peter was challenged on why he went, that it was about not making a second class of believers out of the gentiles who trust in messiah. It was a vision from Yah that went against the tradition of the elders(this tradition was that gentiles were always unclean regardless and that those who were Israel were to stay away from them). Any believer can understand this, and you selectively ignoring scripture to prove a point is the same mindset that breeds lawlessness. Please, take your own advice
This is the 10th video I have seen from 119 Ministries. Every video thus far has explained why Scripture means something other than what it actually says. Am I the only one noticing this?
Eat don’t eat, salvation is to the believer..........EPH 2:8-9.
And the doers of His words
Just as the food provided by God for his priesthood was sanctified, so the food provided by him for his Christian servants is likewise sanctified, as all things partaken of or engaged in by his sanctified servants should be.
If Act 17: 11 reflexs the intelligent thinking of the early church ...then Paul MUST HAVE BEEN EXTERMELY CAREFUL with his doctrine: ....since the early church would have been aquainted with the old testament.
The old testament said that certain food is seen by God as abomination(see Isaiah 66:17)Those who claim that you can eat all food now can eat the mouse and the pig .......I will continue eating ONLY clean food.( see Leviticus 11) I do not think that when Jesus died on the cross he change
scavengers like cockroaches and vultures (cobos) into eatable food!.
I am in 100% agreement with this video. I need to know how to explain why the sacrificial law is no longer applicable. I understand the concept but have a hard time when in conversation explaining why one law still stands yet another is done away with if all scripture is indeed to be adhered to.
New priesthood, but same concepts. Our flesh is the sacrifice/ Christ is the sacrifice made on the eternal altar Hebrews 9: 26>>hebrews 9:16-28 Hebrews 10: 1-18
Hebrews is just a really good read😊
I think one of the problems is " im not a jew there fore I don't have to do x". Which I could go on a rant. However, because people don't understand why/ when/ how Israel did certain things, they throw their own bent /understanding onto NT scripture and easily mangle it. At the end of the day, no we don't need Israel's full history. But with a sincere seeking of HIM, his spirit will lead to all truth and a softened heart will recieve it😊.
Dietary laws are still in play. Because we haven't kept them. And I myself have an hard time with this. Asking for prayer 🙏.
The law of the creator is forever..read your Bible...
Some "feel good" churches will try to convince people, we're under a new covenant with God. There is no new covenant and His word does not change nor is meant for confusion. I stopped eating pork or other unclean foods. An invite for a meal at another person's home ensured this to me. I ate medallions (beef tenderloin wrapped in bacon). The next day I had an upset stomach and was convinced this is not something that He wants in my body.
Listen to His commands for us, not mankind's excuse to sin.
Have a blessed Sabbath.
I have a few questions... maybe you can address this in a future video:
1) What are some laws that apply to culture and time? How do we distinguish from them? For example, Rob Skiba said in VHC last week that even Jesus couldn't follow all of God's law because some of them applied only to women. If some of the law is that specific, then couldn't some of the law also be specific to culture and time?
2) What do you think about the vision God gave Peter in Acts 10:10-28 about eating unclean animals? God said, "do not call unclean what I've made clean." I know He was referring to Gentiles, but why use unclean animals and tell Peter to eat them? Couldn't He just have said, "hey gentiles are now my people too"?
3) How can we be certain what is considered scripture and not since a lot of different denomination accept different manuscripts as scripture that others do not? For instance, Ethiopia accepts the book of Enoch as scripture and most of Western civilization does not. How can we be sure which is which when quoting that "all scripture is inspired...and profitable for doctrine" (2 Timothy 3:16-17)? I hear this verse being thrown into the mix every time someone wants to reinforce their point, but it doesn't quite do it for me because I could easily pick up some thing I like out of the Bible and then quote that verse, when it isn't necessarily true. Like I can say "there is no God" from Psalm 53:1 and say hey "all scripture is inspired by God"... probably a horrible example and it was meant to be extreme, but you get my point right?
4) I noticed you going all over the Bible to support your stand, but if we study scripture as you said, using Hermeneutics, then shouldn't we explore other instances that confront the same topic? Like, Mark 7:19 from Jesus Himself and Genesis 9:3 when God Himself told Noah that "every moving thing that lives shall be food for you"? Did God change His mind here? Wouldn't He have told Noah, every living thing that moves shall be food for you, except...?
5) Was Leviticus law given to priests or to everyone? In Leviticus 11:4 says, "The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a split hoof, it is 'ceremonially' unclean for you" so doesn't that mean that it isn't to be used in ceremony only?
These are genuine questions. I've abstained from eating pork since I learned some of this because I rather be safe than sorry, but I'm still on the fence on this subject because I am afraid to become legalistic. I don't even miss pork, I barely ate it before, that is not my motive. My motive it to not become a legalistic Jew since Jesus wasn't too fond of those (Pharisees). You said it yourself, examine and question everything. I know that I am saved by grace, but my desire to obey God is because I want to show Him I love Him. Thank you for your ministry.

@@cr3684 they never replied, but the Holy Spirit did. I’m convinced now, through scripture and study that the diet laws do apply to this day. I’m 48 and have never been healthier. I’m studying scripture in Hebrew now… that’s how deep I’ve dug. Trust His Word and seek with heart and sincerity.
@Van Santos Seems like you brought up a good point that they didn't want to answer publicly. If you wish to eat those foods, Scripture has it that you may. The truth is that they're food for a body that'll perish, and many verses show this.
Don't let what's in this video take your eyes off Jesus and have you become superstitous, fearful, and confused about what food you ate.
I have learned a lot from your videos, especially the Paul Paradox, thanks a lot! I have questions: Are we(non-Israeli) also required to observe your biblical feasts, traditions? Which laws are we exempted from?
Shalom, UA-cam isn't the best place for discussions, a better place to ask your questions would be to contact us on our contact us page on our website. You can find it here: www.119ministries.com/about-us/contact-us/
I would check out their website and sign up for their “school.” They send videos each week for you to watch and test and it is a great place to start and kind of learn in order instead of jumping around. I’ve learned a ton and really enjoyed them, especially the video The Lost Sheep.
Hod commanded the Israelites to keep the feasts throughout their generations. Lev 23:2 says “ The feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts.” They are the Feasts of the Lord. The Catholic Church changed the feasts as they changed the Sabbath. The early church fathers and bishops were animtisemites. They didn’t want Judaisers attending their churches. The disciples kept the feasts. Jesus kept the feasts. Paul kept the feasts. The church kept the feasts during the days of Paul. The disciples and believers were at the feast of Pentecost in the upper room when the Holy Spirit came with tongues of fire. Pentecost is a feast that celebrates the 10 commandments being given by God. Paul wrote about keeping the feasts.
If Jesus made all animals clean, there would not have been the Spanish flu pandemic.
Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
Yet you believe the earth is flat?
Can we? should actually be Should we?
If Leviticus 11 is doctrine of demons, then so is Leviticus 18 and the rest of Torah.
Thank you, women are also Unclean during periods. We should remember that
Shalom,
There are times that both men and women are unclean but that is in the context of the temple and is not a sin. Clean and Unclean animals are in the context of what is defined as food (clean) and not food (unclean).
Hopefully this helps clarify this.
Blessings and Shalom
Was this reposted? I remember watching this over 4 years ago… maybe im wrong. Either way i LOVE this teaching.
Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink. The 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. You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God. Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister. So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves. But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.
At 23 minutes, the scripture is Titus 1:14 and not 1 Timothy. I only noticed because I started taking personal notes from your videos to help me learn Scripture. I learned something or had my eyes opened in realization this time while taking notes about Lev 11:7-8 with the word carcase comparing this verse with the sheet of the 4 corners. I recently ate eggs and not bacon at an outing and this verse showed my error in understanding. Thank you for your videos.
I was about to post this when I read your comment. Good catch, brother.
Shabbat Shalom; thank you for this lesson. It was quite informative and helpful for the most part! I must say that I agree with most of what was stated. However, my question is this. Can you provide scripture to back up the birds that you showed as set apart! I believe the three you showed were; chicken, turkey and duck! Isn’t duck a part of the swarm family of which is unclean???
Leviticus 11:18
I would really appreciate your help in this area! Thanks 🙏
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Acts 10:13-15
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
Acts 15:29
That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
Romans 10:4

Galatians 5:18

Shalom. Thank you for your videos. They are a blessing. It seems to me that those that eat clean (I try) that the only creatures in the water that can be eaten are fish because they have fins and scales. That being the case I avoid catfish since they have no scales. But don't shrimp and lobster have both? They have fins on theirs tails and the armor that sheilds their tails, that appears segmented, couldn't they be considered scales? If God wanted to say you can only eat fish with fins and scales why did he say creatures? What else in the sea or water can we eat?
Another thing that confuses me is Matthew 15:17 "Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated? 18But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man."
It is as if he said you can eat whatever and it's ok. I still try to eat clean because of obedience to God.
Thanks and peace to all.
shrimp and lobster are bottom feeders, unclean by nature and we can safely assume theyre unclean by god. a fish scale is very different to lobster scale. i dont know about shrimp i never liked them.
matthews verse is about jesus being asked a question about why he isnt washing his hands because dirt on hands while eating was considered by the pharisees unclean, theyre taking the clean levels to the extreme, jesus is saying it doesnt matter about such small matters.
now the main kicker is this, do you really believe Jesus a jew, God made flesh was saying 'yeh its ok eat pork' he still hasnt gone to the cross for a perfect sin offering and people think here he is advocating unclean eating. the Jews around him would be calling him out for blasphemy and Peter in Acts wouldnt say 'surely not lord' because he still knows its unclean despite people supposedly thinking jesus told peter 3 years prior its ok to eat anything. none of the mainstream reasoning makes sense
God always gives us the opportunity to choose between good and evil, to do his will or my own selfish will.
To Matthew. This text is about the unwashed hands, not about allowing everything on earth to crawl, please note the context. :)
They were made clean , just like us, through the shedding of blood by Yeshua on the cross
God's vision to peter in Acts
Did Messiah keep the perfectly? Think Deuteronomy 13 Shalom
@@ShadrachTheThird You're misinterpreting Peter's vision. Consider watching our (Sour Milk Ministries) video entitled:
Video 8: Peter's Vision - What Torah Keepers get WRONG!
Galatians 5:18
Great teaching, thank you. I still do not know if we can eat Goose and Duck, as its difficult to interpret for me at least. How about a Scriptural teaching on a list of 'What we can eat'?
Can we eat Halal food if it is offered to us as a guest in someones home? Can we only eat Kosher meat?
Clean animals are grouped by 'kind' or species. It's not a specific list, but families of animals. As animals are different around the world, the idea must be universally applicable. There weren't chickens as we know chickens back then. Apart from scavenger birds, who get all or nearly all their diet from dead meat, I don't see a reason not to eat any bird, including Goose or Duck.
@@ianbell2288 I think Paul would say to eat as long as your conscience is clear, and the food is clean. Paul said meat offered to idols means nothing, because there is only one God. Just my opinion. And, if you have someone serving Halal food, what an opportunity to witness while sharing a meal!
what does this mean in Acts 10:10. 10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
I will take objection to one thing. Paul was not a Jew. Paul was a Benjamite from the tribe of Benjamin. (Romans 11:1) After the dissolution of the Northern Kingdom of Israel there were only three tribes that remained intact, Judah, Benjamin and of course the Levites who administered to the duties of the Temple and various synagogues. At the time of the Babylonian Empire all living in Judah were lumped together as from Judah or just simply Jews by the Babylonians. The tribal distinctions had become irrelevant by then, however those like Paul knew their family heritage and that is why he stated that he was from the Tribe of Benjamin. Today we refer to the Jewish religion but quite frankly it would be more proper to say the Israelite religion since it was shared by all 13 tribes from the time of Moses and by the time of Paul only the Jews, Benjamites and Levites were left and after the Cross the Levites had no more duties to perform. Those from the Tribe of Judah were the most numerous of the three so that is why then and today we refer to the remnants of the Israelites as Jews.
Good explanation and good topic on clean and unclean foods. Today it does seem that modern Christianity is far more comfortable aligning with the Pagans rather than the Jews in taking on the Pagan practices of eating unclean foods rather than following what God says.
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things..... Genesis 9:3
😊
On the next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the sixth hour to pray. But he became hungry and was desiring to eat; but while they were making preparations, he fell into a trance; and he saw the sky opened up, and an object like a great sheet coming down, lowered by four corners to the ground, and there were in it all kinds of four-footed animals and crawling creatures of the earth and birds of the air. A voice came to him, “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!” But Peter said, “By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything unholy and unclean.” Again a voice came to him a second time, “What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy.” This happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into the sky.

Shalom Micah,
For what it's worth, here are our thoughts on Peter's Vision in Acts 10
www.119ministries.com/teachings/video-teachings/detail/acts-10-peters-vision/
Blessings to you and yours
Peace brother! The rest of Acts 10 tells how Peter interpreted his vision from the Father. My understanding (though also potentially flawed as I am just a man) is that Christ died for all men, therefore sacrificing all of us, “What God has cleansed, no longer considered unholy”. So gentiles can be preached and taught which was considered blasphemous by the Jewish people at the time. May the Lord bless us both on our journey of understanding! Peace and blessings!
Could you explain Deuteronomy 12:20-22 thank you.
Mark chapter 7 and acts 10 declared all foods clean. Jesus Himself declared all foods clean
And He said to them, “Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him, because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?” (Thus He declared all foods clean.) And He was saying, “That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man.
- Mark 7:18-20
(Thus he declared all food clean) was added later by interpreters. Read the whole chapter in context. It starts with the Pharisees having a problem with the disciples eating BREAD (not an unclean food) with unwashed hands (a non-biblical Pharisee tradition.)
It's clear that Jesus takes the Pharisees to task for their extra-biblical traditions that nullify the ACTUAL Law of God which both Jesus and the disciples followed, including the dietary instructions of Lev 11.
@@redneckreject4126 He actually refers to things that go into the mouth. So he's talking about food being food. And show me some solid proof that this particular text was added later. I understand some texts were added later and not in the early manuscripts. For example "the woman caught in adultery" story. But this according to the sources I have was apart of the early manuscripts.
Micah, we (Sour Milk Ministries) have videos on Peter's vision (Acts 10), as well as Mark 7, that you might find helpful. The videos are entitled: _Video 22: Triple Play! Un-twisting Mark 7_ & _Video 8: Peter's Vision - What Torah Keepers get WRONG!_
@@micahlantz905 he contrasts the man-made pharisee traditions against the Law of God as given to Moses.
Again the context was NOT ABOUT eating anything you want. It was eating a biblically clean food (bread) with unwashed hands. The Pharisees were acting like the disciples were breaking the Law of God.
Nowhere in The Law is it commanded to wash your hands. That was an ADDED man-made tradition.
Jesus and all the disciples were Hebrews who followed the Law of God. In fact, it's indisputable that they continued to follow the law ALL THE WAY through the New Testament.
So Jesus sinned? Sin is transgression of the Law 1 John 3:4.
He also violated the commandment to not add or take away from the Torah?
Or are we missing the context of Mark 7?
Can't be both.
Why is it then that James defines walking orderly as following the Law Acts 21:24? Not only that, but Paul participates in a Nazirite Vow!
Why in Matthew 23 does Jesus POINT BLANK tell his followers to listen an observe what the Pharisees tell them when they read from Moses?
I'm conflicted about chicken 🐔 some argue that it's not clean including eggs
Not quite sure I am hearing what you have to say.

119Ministries Greetings, from an “exiled”
Scot 🏴 living in England 🏴. Many thanks for your response. I posted in agreement with what your teaching said. I’ve been studying the Bible with Tom Bradford of “Seed of Abraham” ministries. He says that a follower of Christ can lose their salvation, mainly based upon what God says in the letters to the seven congregations in the Revelation. Do you have any teaching on that subject you can send me please?
Love and peace in Yeshua Ha Meshiach
We are called to be set apart, a peculiar people. This is one of the things that set us apart from the world. If you watch any of the cooking channels on tv, 98% of the dishes they prepare have pork or shellfish in them. I rarely ever see anything that Yah would allow me to consume.
@Julie L they follow added laws called the Talmud. That's what our Savior was teaching against, not His Father's Law. They are not saved because they do not acknowledge Yahusha as Messiah. When Yahusha went around teaching Repent and sin no more, what do you understand that to mean? Sin is transgression of the Law.
@Christian C I didnt say they didn't follow Torah but Yahusha spoke against the Talmud. They are added laws. Ask your neighbor about those. Yahusha also spoke against the hardness of their hearts. The transformation should begin in the heart first. Once you love your Creator with all your heart, you will want to keep His Commandments and laws.
I eat chicken Turkey and beef and salmon and tuna
How do you make the difference between what laws apply to us and which dont? Which were given only to the Israelites/Jews and which were given to all?

I have some sincere questions. Is it possible that Christ in Peters vision (Acts 10), was using unclean animals to also convey to Peter that not only were gentiles to now be considered clean, but also the food gentiles would have eaten as well? The reason I say that is that God could have used (gentile people rather than animals) in the vision. Would Paul/Peter have wanted the new converts to accept the sacrifice of Christ but be hung up on dietary restrictions? Also, why did Christ say "whatever enters a man cannot defile him", while not making an exception for unclean meats? Why isn't dietary restrictions in 10 commandments? Why are dietary laws placed in Lev. 11 right after the laws for animal sacrifices in the temple? Did it have something to do with cleanliness in that the bacteria in swines flesh would have contaminated the temple, and the priesthood would have gotten terrible diseases? I seriously would appreciate some answers to this. Thanks!

We would suggest our Pauline Paradox Series. In part 5 we go over the book of Romans and these specific verses. We suggest you begin in part 1 and you can find it here: www.119ministries.com/teachings/video-teachings/detail/pauline-paradox-part-1-is-the-majority-ever-wrong/
It's pretty clear
1 Timothy 4:1-5 "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer."
It seems that you're saying that it's "pretty clear" that you can eat anything you want, as long as you receive it with "thanksgiving". If that's true, then you've made the same error that most people do, in that you fail to keep verse 4 in context of what was said in verse 3. See our 5 minute video entitled: _Video 10: A Doctrine of Devils? Understanding 1 Timothy 4_
@@sourmilkministries9445 So are you circumcised too?
@@333grace So, instead of watching a 5 minute video, which would expose your error concerning 1 Timothy 4, you decide that it would be better for you to try to sidetrack the issue with an unrelated question?
@@sourmilkministries9445 You assume I did not watch it. I did watch it. I disagreed. I thought I'd throw in a question that aligns with your way of thinking. However, apparently you did not catch the correlation. Regardless, the LORD's word states with regard to eating:
1 Corinthians 10:23-33
23 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. 24 Let no one seek his own, but each one the other’s well-being.
25 Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience’ sake; 26 for “the earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness.”
27 If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake. 28 But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience’ sake; for “the earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness.” 29 “Conscience,” I say, not your own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience? 30 But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the food over which I give thanks?
31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 32 Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God, 33 just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
@@333grace There is no correlation, because you don't know my way of thinking. And, pray tell, what exactly did you disagree with? As for your citing of 1 Corinthians 10:23-33? The context of that passage is the eating of CLEAN meats that may have been offered to an idol. It's not in the context of eating UNCLEAN meats, such as pork. In fact, we have a video which demonstrates just that. It's entitled:
Video 13: Double Trouble! (Understanding Romans 14)
Why did the man in the video not cite Romans 14:1-13 (the law of Liberty for Christians) especially verse 3 - the one who eats is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him.
Verse 2 says One person has faith that he may eat ALL THINGS, .........
Question - Is fried pork chop not food to eat? Will you judge me if I eat it?
Pork is unclean, romans 14 has nothing to do with the dietary laws. or the sabbath.
We (Sour Milk Ministries) have a video that will help explain what's actually being said Romans 14. It's entitled:
_Video 13: Double Trouble! (Understanding Romans 14)_
