Discuss Deuteronomy 14 Page 3

Hello saints. Awhile ago when i rededicated my life to Christ, i use to think that i was not to eat pork, because God had commanded in Deuteronomy 14:8 not to eat the swine, because it divided the hoof, and was unclean to us. ..... But what i have come to learn; is that the time that we are in, is now the time of faith, and grace, where as before; you use to have to kill, and burn animals, to ask forgiveness of your sin. ..... It was if God was saying to us; since you only believe in what you see, than here are the orders in which i want you to go about approaching me. (i'm just saying that's what it seems like he was saying) Because God declares alot in his Word that he does not change, but now has he made Christ the sacrifice, that never needs another, and all that we have to do now is believe on his ultimate sacrifice; that it covered all of are sins, that we asked forgiveness for. So now we only have to acknowledge God, and ask him, and believe that he received, and will answer our request, SO NOW ARE WE SAVED BY GRACE TROUGH FAITH; AND NOT BY THE LAW: So now we approach God by relationship, and not by old guide lines and doctrines, because now God has perfected the order. (meaning he has now taken the training wheels off!) HALLELUJAH!

The Pelican? Jackdor, The Hebrew translator of the AV came up with "pelican" because the verb translates as vomit or reject for Ha Ka'at and this was considered as a feature of this bird. Leviticus 11:18. At least NIV keeps to "desert owl" for Deuteronomy 14:17 and Psalm 102:6 whereas NKJ Leviticus 11:18 and Deteronomy 14:17 the jackdaw appears for the same Hebrew word, the Pelican!. From Psalm 102:6 the "desert owl" flying through the ruins may be the right answer? Where does the "white" of white owl come from? The "swan" but where does the same word get its "mole" in the AV Deteronomy 14:17 I wonder. Most calamitous of all what is a gier eagle. I cannot find the word "gier" in the Oxford Dictionary!

The Bible is God's Blue Print to living a healthy life. I think this verse shows that God wants all mankind to stay away from the swine for health and life.

The More I Read That The Old Testament It's Only Witnessing A Testimony An Covenant With God's Peoples Back Then The Dispensation Of Israel The Mosaic Law Was Not Given To Gentiles This Is Not Unto God's Peoples Today The Dispensation Of The Church; When Jesus Went To The Cross The Purpose Of The Mosaic Law Ended With Christ.

Let us not forget that Chapter 11 of Leviticus as well as Deuteronomy 14 are the food laws that we are to keep forever and they are not just ceremonial laws as Doug suggests. Yahweh is the same today and forever, He changes not; see Malachi 3:6, nor does Yahshua change either, see Hebrews 13:8 and 9. Sin is the transgression of the law period; see I John 3:4. Take note of I Timothy 4:3 "to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. His Word is the Truth, so let's obey Him and not eat any abominable thing such as pork, etc. See Deuteronomy 14:3; Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing. And finally see John 14:15; If you love me keep my commandments. Enough said!
