Mark 7 Study: What Defiles a Person (Thus he declared all foods clean)
Vložit

- Mark 7:1-23 is a passage that records Jesus clash with the Pharisees over traditions and commandments and what defiles a person. And this is a fascinating passage because we see how Jesus deals with different people, and we get a glimpse at His genius as a rabbi and a teacher in taking a particular confrontation or challenge from the Pharisees and elevating it to a profound teachable moment on an entirely different level. And, yes, we’re going to talk about that the controversial statement found in verse 19 about Jesus declaring all foods clean. But of course, it would be an injustice to the text to just pull that verse out on its own and talk about it. We want to understand the context of this entire passage and what’s going on here because it has a lot to teach us about Jesus and about walking out our faith today. So we’re going to do that first, and then we’ll circle back around and take a look at that provocative statement in verse 19.

As a former Seventh Day Adventist, finding this site has literally been God sent. I had left that church a few years before, but there is always some lingering bad theology to work through, and of course, family and friends still in the church that hammer you with their proof texts in an attempt to get you back. These teachings on this site are taught kindly, straight out of the Bible and food for the soul. I recommend it all the time and look forward to every new episode. Thank you for doing these videos.
Thank you so much, Mary! I'm glad you found us. God is so good.

@@TheBiblicalRoots, I second Mary's as someone who also grew up Seventh-day Adventist.

In this chapter, the Pharisees disapprove of Jesus's disciples for not adhering to a "tradition of the elders." (Mark 7:2)
They say, “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled [koinos] hands?” (Mark 7:5)
Due to their traditions, the Pharisees believed that touching food with defiled [koinos] hands rendered the food defiled, subsequently making the person defiled when consumed. It's worth noting that the term unclean [akathartos], denoting meats forbidden by God's Law, is absent in this passage.
The dispute did not revolve around Jesus or his disciples rejecting God's food laws. In truth, Jesus accuses the Pharisees of "rejecting and nullifying” God's commandments in favour of their own traditions. (Mark 7:8-9, 13)
It would be contradictory for Jesus to condemn the Pharisees for rejecting God's commandments while simultaneously rejecting them himself. Therefore, in Mark 7, Jesus did not dismiss God's food laws; rather, he rejected the tradition that considered a person defiled for eating food touched with defiled hands.
I would like to address an issue you may find in different translations e.g. NIV or NJKV.
Mark 7:19: “For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)
Verse 19 has been misunderstood. The text in the brackets is added in some translations, and is Mark’s parenthetical statement on the surface, we would think that Jesus has made all ‘foods’ clean, but we must understand the word used here for food is [broma]. Jesus was not changing God’s instructions regarding food because to do so would have been to go against His Father’s instructions - thus disqualified Jesus as the Messiah of Israel.(Jesus would be found in sin) This is actually good news for all who believe in Jesus, as it upholds the fact that he was indeed the spotless lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29). He goes on to teach us how things from our heart really defile us, not unwashed hands touching bread.
Conclusion: The common teaching that Jesus declared all things clean does not align with the context of the passage. Instead, what we observe is Jesus revealing a great truth here; there is nothing we can do to change the word of God. God declared what is clean to eat; nothing man can do will change it. Whether our hands are clean or dirty it doesn’t defile [koinos] the food [broma] and render it common [koinos] - according to the man made tradition; but what can defile us is what proceeds from our heart.
Excellent.
Amen and amen
Great explanation!
Spot on! Thank you and I hope everyone who watches this will read your post!
The veil becomes very thick when a Christian studies the Scriptures with the preconceived idea that they are separate and distinct from Israel. The prophecy chapter of the new covenant (Jeremiah 31) says that the renewed covenant will be made with The House of Israel and The House of Judah. How in the world can one confuse this?
The Lord didn't pull any punches, I would have loved to have been there and seen the look on the Pharasee's faces when he responded to them. He was teaching a lesson, while simultaneously pointing out the hypocrisy in their lives.
Good post. Hebrew roots pompous Pharisees suck. You really gotta be a deluded self righteous fool to think the lunch menu matters.
Just came across your channel and love your videos, learning so much! Thank you!
God bless
But didn’t Mark 7 take place before the old covenant ended? A lot of people are saying that Jesus’s definition of food would not have included pork or shellfish. When reading Mark 7 with that in mind, it certainly makes a lot more sense than Jesus was going around during the old covenant telling Jew to stop following the old covenant.
I just want to let you know that I truly appreciate you and what you’re doing! Your format makes it easy to learn about topics I have struggled with and opened up a world of knowledge that was previously seemingly closed or far off.
Thank you so much for sharing that Patricia! I'm glad you found us. God is so good.

Perhaps you should dig a little deeper and use some critical thinking. Did the old covenant laws end before or after Mark 7 took place? If you read Leviticus 11 Gods definition of food does not include pork or shellfish so if Jesus is God and He says all food is clean does that include what God said is not food?
You should consider reading the comments and testing the opposing arguments.
I appreciate your work, professor.
Good work, again.
Thanks for being such an important light!
Thank you, Mike!

Thank you so much brother Rob! When I first got out of the Hebrew roots movement and left our church of 10 years, God lead me to read from Acts- revelations at least 2 times without visiting any teachers or outside understanding! It’s amazing what the Holy Spirit can do when we give him room! Thank you so much for this cause right when I finished reading, your videos popped up on my CZcams feed and confirmed what Jesus was storing inside of me.
Hallelujah!!!

You answered my question, Rob. Thank you for this post.
Maybe you should ask him if Mark 7 took place during the old covenant or the new covenant. Also, ask him If Jesus’s, definition of food would have included pork and shellfish.
Excellent teaching once again Brother. I can hardly wait to meet you in person. I have all of my apologetic classes learning from you.
Great stuff!
Just love your teaching and your heart. So good and so clear.
Great teaching Professor Solberg. The Scriptures are crystal clear about all foods are clean. I can't wrap my brain around why the HRM are adamant to fight this topic. Stubbornness & pride perhaps? Eating clean is not a salvation issue, but yet the HRM club are bullying Christians they MUST eat clean, "It's your duty to follow the law" It's so messed up.
Do you not know, whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey (rhetorical)?
Food that is clean is Food. Yes all “food” is clean because God already said it was clean and is food
@@DedicatedtoYAH only that which is declared clean is food. This goes back to at least Noah's day. Unclean animals are not food.

I’ve seen many people destroy themselves by what they consume.
Many things we consume are not good for us, we have to control what we put in our temples.
Those with ears to hear, take care of the temple in spirit and in truth.
Freedom to consume “whatever” is what kills. These mortal bodies are perishing, but they are serving for a purpose for His own good pleasure.
Love God and others by taking care of the body. If we do not guard what we consume with our eyes, ears, and mouth -can (and will) lead to evil
Well,tell ya what mister. NOT all people can eat healthy wonderful food! Millions of Americans are below poverty level and are going to food pantries and have EBT cards. Actually, food pantries can't keep up with how many people are coming for food! And what they get at the food pantry is what they get! Canned goods, boxed goods, hot dogs, noodles & if the if lucky, meat. When one is POOR they will EAT what they can get. They will buy CHEAP food to maintain the budget. Cheap food is crap food, however, one is GRATEFUL for any food! During the Irish Potato famine people ate grass! During WW2 the Dutch ate Tulip bulbs. If there was a dead horse, it was fair game who cut buthcer it up. Cats went missing and dogs. I guess your blessed enough to eat a balanced healthy diet~ Good for you.And how dare you say what one eats leads to evil~ that is ridiculous ! That is a sin you even said that! Shame on you! The only thing that is a sin is gluttony regarding food, which is one of the 7 deadly sins~ Go experiment homelessness for a week. See what you will and can eat. The dumpster will provide.
This is where the lesson of grace upon grace comes to mind. As we grow and mature in Christ, submitting our will to His, we obey more and more of the law, not to our salvation, but to our obedience in all humbleness to His will for us.
@@stevepaige7557 very true. Christ grace leads to obedience to those who He baptizes with The Spirit of truth.

I have followed you for a while and really enjoyed the way you explain this subject. What a blessing❤
I keep wondering how many are still reacting to your teachings from Thora observing side. I estimate 20% or is it 80% trying to convince you how wrong you are? 😂
This is such a good channel, thankful i found it (the algorithm surely helped). But i have relatives in armstrongism wich means a sort of mix between 7th day adventists, mormons, jehova witnesses and 'jewish' law. A lot of the arguments used by hebrew roots really are just the same here.
Thanks again Professor Rob for such an insightful exposition of scripture! May we seek to be pure of heart rather than requiring or demanding a superficial "purity" of the externals, i.e. what goes into the mouth!
I suppose you believe fornication is a superficial "purity" of the externals as well (rhetorical)?
@@overcomeinone8371 fornication is one of the things specifically that the Lord Jesus said comes from an impure, or unregenerate, heart.
@@paulmiller7775 (119:160) Do you not know, "every one" means just that, and not only the ones you see fit; which Peter understood (Acts 10:14)?
@@overcomeinone8371 you cannot extrapolate “everyone of your righteous rules” to mean temporal ordinances which the Lord Jesus Christ abolished in His own body to reconcile us to God and create in Himself one new man in place of the two (Ephesians 2:14-16). And by the way, comparing food to fornicador is a non sequitor
@@paulmiller7775 (Matthew 15:20) You have no percipience, do you not know, Jesus unequivocally affirmed the issue here was "unwashed hands" (not unclean meats), and who am I to believe, you (man who lies), or Jesus, Peter, and Jah's law (Deuteronomy 14:3)? P.S. Rhetorical
This statement in Mark 7:19 is a perfect example of how people twist truth to suit their needs, or appetite so to speak. In some versions it is missing, in others it is posed as a question, and in others it is put in brackets (to imply that those words are a copyist's own commentary). The question was simple. Jesus was asked whether eating food with dirt defiles a man, and he answered in the negative. He was not clarifying on what should be eaten and what should not be. Notice that the Pharisees never raised the question of unclean foods at all. They were offended not because the disciples were eating unclean foods, but because they were eating clean foods with unclean hands (see. verses 2,5). So to say that in this verse Jesus was elaborating on which foods should be eaten is missing the point.
Thanks for finally clearing this up for good.
Obviously this applies to what is commonly accepted as FOOD, not what some sick people chose to also eat.
Shalom
Only what is declared clean is food. The unclean has never been food.

Hey, in regards to your side note, I really appreciate what you are doing and I know what you are saying about that is true. Basically, you're speaking to those who are willing to listen and or need your help because the are dealing with someone in their life.
As for me, my wife is the one I am dealing with and she doesn't seem to be willing to hear anything I say. She's always dominating me in conversation (when it's religion related) and truly being evil is speech and behavior. She's, hit me, threatened me with divorce and other non-mentionable things on many occasions. All I can do is try my best to remain calm as she uses cultic tactics and tries to use the bible out of context as a weapon towards me.
It's very very difficult and at times I do not know if I can take it anymore. Honestly, for a couple years now I've been battling the feelings of wanting out.
On a good note she's been improving slowly the last few months. Two days ago we talked gospel and it is the first time she actually didn't overtake me in conversation. In the end she didn't want to hear it anymore and began to play music and pray as an excuse to not listen. A lot of times when we talk religion she ends up chanting out of context bible verses and or will play religious music or her apologetic CZcamsr over me.
Prayers are much appreciated and thank you again for your videos. I have been soaking them in one by one. Kind of wish I could be sitting in a class under you.
Thank you for your vulnerability in sharing that, TIG! Sadly, you're one of many who have shared similar stories with me. You are in my prayers!

I feel for you. Marriage was created for our blessing. Having experienced disunity in marriage too, I would encourage you to pray and asked the Father to help you learn and change in the way he wants you to. Also, consider showing interest in her beliefs. Encourage her to help you understand her perspective. Listen and watch her teacher WITH her. Perhaps you can get to the point where she will watch your teachers with you. It would be great if you both could watch teachings from both sides and discuss with each other the differences. Ask questions that will cause thinking. Reason together, grow together.
I will be praying for you and your wife for the next 40 days.

Yes, it's very interesting when considering that John Mark was a disciple of Peter. Peter, like many of us, was a slower learner. But we can see in Acts, Peter came to understand what Jesus did and accomplished.✝️
Peter learned that people are not unclean and that he can eat with them.
@stevepaige7557 Peter learned that God used food as an illustration of a spiritual Truth. When he came to truly understand what Jesus accomplished, he very clearly spoke it. Read Acts 15... real slow. Take it for what it says.
@@kellydorney3514 where it says clean meat can be made unclean?
Or you think they mean pig is made magically clean by killing it properly draining its blood killing it and not offering it to idols
You do realize James concluded they would even learn clean meat has unclean parts hearing Moses preached every following Sabbath. Acts 15:21
@@makenoimageI think I may have replied to earlier in error
@@makenoimage Another twisting or adding to Scripture. Won't expect anything less
Rob, this blessed me. Thank you. Overwhelmingly, it’s still obvious that some so-called ‘foods’ are not designed for us to eat, but this was nonetheless a great reminder of Christ’s intentional elevation of purity of heart - a much weightier matter.
i have never received more backlash than when i started keeping Leviticus 11. i am always respectful in declining pork, shellfish, and catfish. i never comment on others eating outside Leviticus 11 and i only supply my understanding of scripture on this when legitimately asked for my understanding of the passages that are in question. (i preface that i am not a Torah Terrorist about this) Yet at best when i decline things to eat i am confronted (sometimes in a hostile manner) or at worst on two occasions people have served food and intentionally lied about the ingredients used to prepare the dish, then declare that they have pulled a fast one on me.
Not trying to project this onto anyone in the comments, but please if you are going to challenge your friends and relatives on their convictions to follow Leviticus 11, please do so respectfully.
as you a Muslim? Wait no, you are teaching we should follow Leviticus 11. so I am confused, Muslim or Judaizer? Abram ate Pig and was Uncircumcised
@@salpezzino7803 neither a Muslim nor a judaizer. i would be interested in seeing your source text for Abram eating pork, especially after his convenient with YHWH? Would you share your sources so i could research that?

Even though, as you say, Peter was the disciple to ask Jesus about what He meant regarding His parable in Mark 7, it seems odd that Jesus' message had not sunk in for Peter over a decade later when he saw the sheet/animal vision on the roof top and declared, "I have never eaten anything koinos or akathartos!"
Thank you, 8 years after Jesus' ascension and Peter was still not eating unclean. Peter also confirmed that the vision was about gentiles and not food.
Exactly
@@grey4621 Mr. Solberg has a video on that topic (Acts 10) as well, concluding that the event was actually about food and not just gentiles. What is also interesting in this current passage (Mark 7) is the missing verse (v.16) which Mr. Solberg mentioned: "If anyone has ears let him hear". By saying this Jesus is identifying that He has spoken in a parable. This is confirmed in verse 17 when "His disciples asked Him about the parable". My question is, What is the parable here? So far as I can see, there is only one, and it is very short and it is at the start of verse 15, "Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him". I could be wrong on this but it does seem problematic to take a parable and declare that it is appropriate for Law-abolishing church doctrine. Extrapolating this practice, with obvious hyperbole, do we all have to literally be virgins carrying lamps with extra oil in order to make it into the wedding feast? Incidentally, this also may relate to Acts 10 if we are to understand that the vision given to Peter is something of a "visual parable", a picture pointing to something else...namely non Jews being cleansed by God. Again, it would suggest that church doctrine regarding food is being extrapolated from a (visual) parable.
@@glennpayan4205 he can make as many videos as he wants, but it still directly contradicts what PETER said the vision was about.
Do you believe the disciple who walked with Messiah or a teacher thousands of years later who is against God’s law?
Solberg doesn’t realize our Savior would have been a false prophet had He taught against our Father’s law, per Deuteronomy 13.

What does purging mean? According to a dictionary..it means to remove..cleansing in this instance means to remove.
So He actually removed all foods from the “things to be eaten” list? LOL
Did Mark 7 Take place during the old covenant or the new covenant?
New covenant…as it was taught and demonstrated prior His death.
Heb 9:16-17 confirms the testator has to die before his testament takes effect
Gal 3:15 Paul confirms no changes after death of testator
That’s why the disciples were teaching “Yay! we get to eat bacon now!!!”
During the 40 days after His resurrection He prepared pork chops for His disciples…even grilled catfish by the lake for them.
Because He lied when He said think not I have come to destroy the Law…
Obviously when we poop out food from our stomach purging it into the sewer we move the unclean foods to the clean category.
Ok I was being sarcastic the last four of those statements.
@@makenoimage 👍
All things are lawful but not all things are beneficial or advantages ( expedient)
(Mark 7:19; Deuteronomy 4:2) That's spurious, my bible does not say Jesus declared all foods clean, well because he kept the Father's commandments (not eradicated), "...for nothing common or unclean has at any time entered into my mouth."
From the video "34:21 Or in Colossians 2: “Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink…These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.”
Notice Paul writes "these ARE a shadow of things TO COME" decades after the DBR...so all these STILL ARE pointing to MORE things to come...what more? Day of Trumpet...Day of AtONEment...Festival of Tents...yup they still ARE shadows...just like Hebrews 10:1 has the Law "HAVING a shadow of the good things to come" and NOT "the Law HAD a shadow"
Yes Paul these shadows ARE present tense and not PAST tense as if done away with on the cross...exactly the false witness slander of the Synagogue of Freedman…that He would change the “customs handed down at Sinai " Acts 6:9-14
So indeed, don't let anyone judge you in XYZ…but the Body of Christ...
As why would nonbelieving Colossians judge believing Colossians if they were NOT keeping "Jewish ways"? lol...
or why would non believing Jews judge believing Colossians their NOT keeping "Jewish things" but merely following that heretic they claimed resurrected?
Just like today those poor believing Colossians were being judged FOR KEEPING those "Jewish things" by non believing countrymen "hey! why you suddenly DOING all that "Jewish stuff"?
And of course the non believing Jews resented the believing Colossians their crowding into synagogues and fellowshipping with them. "Why are you here?"
So don't let anyone judge you your keeping His Ways...but the Body of Christ...this ekklessia which was in the wilderness Acts 7:38
only His bride knows how to please Him
There is definition of terms in the word of God.
Food is defined in Leviticus 11 as clean animals, and that is the last point where God defines food.
So whenever you see the word "food" it's according God's definition, not according to man's definion of food.
"All foods clean" is in perfect agreement with and references Leviticus 11 because the animals sanctified for eating were declared clean.
Food was never redefined anywhere else after that.
1 Timothy 4:4,5, often misapplied to include all animal meat reads:
“4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. ”
To be sanctified by the word of God means to be set apart for holy use or to be made holy or to be declared holy. And that's a reference to Leviticus 11.
Where in the word of God was the swine declared a clean animal?
The vision of Peter seeing a sheet of unclean animals descending from sky inActs 10 was symbolic of Gentiles who were now no longer unclean or common in tne plan of salvation, according to the Bible's own interpretation of this vision:
Man's private interpretation of Peter's vision in Acts 10: we can eat pork now:
Peter's own interpretation:
Acts 10:28 KJV:
“And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. ”
The unclean animals symbolised Gentiles. This wasn't about foods.
I was understanding 1st Corinthians 10 to be referring to foods that are sacrificed to idols and having a clear conscience of whether the food they were eating was sacrifice to an idol or not and that it's not talking about whether what they are eating is kosher or not.
Also when Paul says all things are lawful for me but not all things are beneficial that makes me to understand that keeping kosher is not necessarily for the spiritual aspect of it but to be physically healthy and that kosher foods are the foods that keep us physically well and unculture foods are unbeneficial for our physical wellness. So as to imply that the dietary laws are still in effect and still apply. How I understand it is that Jesus and Paul were teaching the same thing that physical things don't make you spiritually unclean however there are certain things that are beneficial and unbeneficial regarding physical health
What do you mean by Torahism. I don't know what that is or maybe I do I just never heard it called that before and just need clarification
Hi, Aaron! "Torahism" refers to any belief system which teaches that Christians are _required_ to keep the Old Covenant law (eat kosher, celebrate the Torah feasts, keep the seventh day Sabbath, be circumcised, etc.) and that not doing so is sinful and disobedient.
By contrast, I believe the NT clearly teaches that those rituals are permitted but not required for followers of Jesus. "We have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code" (Rom. 7:6).
Blessings! Rob
Therefore, whoever nullifies one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Yes! And then at Matt. 5:21, Yeshua begins to give HIS commandments and continues through Matthew 7.
Then Yeshua confirms that we are to keep HIS commandments here:
“teaching them to observe ALL that 👉[ I ] have commanded you”👈
Matthew 28:20
Notice Yeshua says “all that I commanded you”, not Moses.
The commands that Yeshua was talking about in Matthew 5:17 - 20, he gives starting at Matthew 5:21 - Matthew 7.
Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 is a preface to his giving of HIS commandments.
What comes out of the heart is anger and looking with lustful eyes...is why He clarified "it's not don't kill or don't commit adultery but don't become angry or look with lust"
as with tattoos...its not the point of the ink entering the skin but the process of thinking to get a tattoo...deciding on a design...choosing the inker...etc...long before the ink is injected the heart is defiled...
if whatever enters is defilement the uncircumcized heart is already defiled accepting it...
25:38 What a shame
- Let's time travel...I am standing in a crowd with Jesus and he just explained how to take the law and commandments and expound on them and give them new spiritual meanings behind the law...then he says, what you suggest, (thus making all food clean).... EVERYBODY ..and I mean EVERYBODY would have just left and considered him a false prophet right at that moment.
Another point ...if Peter was with him when "declaring all foods clean" ...he would have had no issues when G_d told him to kill and eat in Acts 10 during his vision
Scholarly note:
KJV - textus Receptus - "Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? is the actual line
Latin: quia non introit in cor eius, sed in uentrem uadit, et in secessum exit, purgans omnes escas aka
for it does not enter into his heart, but enters into his belly, and goes out into retirement, purifying all the meat
Greek: οτι ουκ εισπορευεται αυτου εις την καρδιαν αλλ εις την κοιλιαν και εις τον αφεδρωνα εκπορευεται καθαριζων παντα τα βρωματα aka that it does not enter into the heart, but into the belly and into the excrement, it emanates, cleansing all the filth
Peshita says the same
and syriac versions
It will ALWAYS be about the defiling of the hands and NEVER about food
Hi, Andre. Great points!
As I mentioned in this video, "On that day, Jesus stopped short of openly declaring all foods clean Himself." His statement was intentionally enigmatic, hence no one accused Him of being a false prophet. He clashes with the Pharisees, makes a broad public statement to the crowd, and then He leaves the crowd and enters a house and only explains His statement in greater detail in private to His disciples. Why? Because to them it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven.
Also, Peter has a track record in the NT of needing to be reminded and getting things wrong. Its no easy feat to instantly change on something you've kept since you were a child, and that your people have kept for the prior 15 centuries. This is why we see Peter having to be reminded of the food laws in Acts 10, and again in Galatians 2.
Lastly, I have to disagree with your Greek grammar. If you look at the phrase καθαριζων παντα τα βρωματα in that passage, the first word, καθαριζων, functions as a present, active participle; it’s an action word. And it’s nominative, masculine, and singular which tells us that, in this context, in verse 19, the word καθαριζων refers to Jesus, not the food. Jesus is the one doing the action here. And what did he do? What’s the action? Well, this participle means “to cleanse.” So it's telling us that Jesus cleansed or made something clean. (Or if we want to use the pronoun. “He cleansed.”) And what did He cleanse? Well, παντα means “all or every,” and βρωματα means “food.” So Jesus "cleansed" or "made clean" all or every food. Or as the majority of English translators render it: “he declared all foods clean.” So in verse 19, Mark, the author of this Gospel, adds a comment to inform his readers that when Jesus said that “whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him,” He was declaring all foods clean.
Don't miss the fact that in this passage, while the Pharisees brought up hand washing, Jesus elevated the conversation and spoke about the heart of man.
Shalom, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots The magnification of the Greek grammar is eisegesis. Similar to Pardes in Judaism - Problem is your spiritualizing Greek text when the language was dispised.
Since we are speculating - more than likely the gospels were probably Hebrew or Aramaic.
"Peter has a track record in the NT of needing to be reminded" - More speculation - He was a good Hebrew man and was in harmony with Yeshua and the Torah.
From Revelations 14 - " 12Here is a call for the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus."
As much as you want to believe otherwise - You cannot redesign the text to make it fit your narrative. Jesus, The Apostles, and many of the first century followers were Torah observant. History says this not me.
@@AndreColon Hi Andre. The reason I believe the New Testament writings were most likely originally in Greek is because (a.) Greek was the lingua franca in the first century and (b.) we have only ever found Greek manuscripts, not Aramaic or Hebrew. And that doesn't bother me in the least because I believe God is able to communicate to us in any language.
Shalom, RLS
Sunday worship is a 'tradition' started by the Roman Catholic Church...You took a haf hour to explain why you are sincere and disobedient, in rejecting Sabbath worship.
When did the RCC church begin? Because we have Church Father that worshipped on Sunday. Don't tell me you blame Constantine. I can tell you what is a Tradition of Man, how Torah Keepers keep the Biblical Feasts. You can't keep them as God commanded, so you Torah Keepers are fakes and liars
@@salpezzino7803Greetings🙏..First I'm not Hebrew Roots,not SDA. I follow Jesus Christs "the Way" which was abandoned ,taken over in the 4th century by Constantine..
..I'm 60 and spent over ten years studying church fathers resource material . I have to tell you ,you are wrong..here is why,what I learned from Ante Niceae church fathers..fr you to say don't blame Constantine but offer no evidence why, means nothing , its pure dung..
Historically, Jesus,apostles, apostles students (church fathers); paul ,first Christians (Jews and gentiles etc ) all kept that original Sabbath day..ie: from Fri evening to Sat evening for over 300 years.till Constantine took over ..
Yes, it was only when the Jew hating, mammon loving, power mad,war mongering , leader of Roman empire Constantine took over ,that he and other Jew hating church fathers decided to change that Sabbath day .remember Constantine never baptised as a Christian till he at deaths door..
Also that Romans had there pagan gods days..Incl Sunday. Rather than ditch his ,the Roman people's Sun god day, he combined it with Sabbath .That would also help convert many Romans to Christ.
Another reason for doing so is the many church fathers hate of anything Jewish, they killed Christ, so they didn't want to share the Sabbath on same day as them.as well as anything Jewish..
So as, Jesus the apostles,apostles students (church fathers) paul, first Christians (Jewish and gentiles) ALL kept the original GOD Ordained Sabbath: Friday sundown to sat sundown, for first 300 years AD, then it's good enough for me as a follower of Christ too..
Are you sola scriptura? If so, , remember there is no Biblical mandate to change the GOD Ordained,given ,blessed,sanctified, Holy Sabbath day.
You also seem to ignore the thousands of years hate against Jews by Christians,and non alike.. Romans hated Jews fr the two Wars with them in first ,second century..Some church fathers hated them fr killing Jesus too.. (all in there letters)
So in the fourth century Constantine and those Jew hating church fathers, had a chance to reform Jesus way, make it a religion, and eliminate it's Jewish roots,anything Jewish..
It's then that the Roman Catholic Church was born..See the link ? Eg Roman..they hated Jews too, and apologised late 20th century for it's past anti Jewish hate, persecutions etc.
Yet, do you know,Jesus, apostles,Paul, the bible, it's prophets, and writers all Jewish .. that Jesus came to die for our sins..That GODS word says salvation is from Jews, to Jews first, then gentiles..The truth is out there if you drop your biases..Go and study ,read all church fathers records like I did..Instead of using your biases to make your truth..True facts are there fr all to see..
Exactly. And everyone in the comments just goes along with it. Blind leading blind.
God called eating unclean foods abominations just like he called homosexuality an abomination.
Isa 66:15-17 end days prophecy where God will destroy people who eat pork.
Relaxing commandments and teaching others to do so also would be something that we are saying (coming out of our mouths) which would in turn defile us through our deceit especially when we have the understanding that no unclean animals should ever be eaten. This is the understanding that I gain when reading these passages on our Glorious Messiah teaches! Shalom brother!

Isaiah 66:17 NASB1995

@@salpezzino7803 Thanks for your input. Yes only Yeshua/Jesus can cleanse. But many still go to gardens or idols and eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Mixture. Following one in the center. Eating swine flesh, detestable things and mice.

Mark 7:14-19
“And calling the crowd to Him, He said to them, “Hear Me, everyone, and understand: “There is no matter that enters a man from outside which is able to defile him, but it is what comes out of him that defiles the man. If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!” And when He went from the crowd into a house, His taught ones asked Him concerning the parable. And He said to them, “Are you also without understanding? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside is unable to defile him, because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purging all the foods?” (TS2009)
The problem
Christianity uses this particular passage to foist another lie upon unsuspecting people.
In many of the versions of Scripture that they wish to use, v. 19 is as follows:
“…since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) (ESV)
“For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)” (NIV)
“…because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? This he said, making all meats clean.” (2015 ASV) You’ll notice that they’ve even done away with the brackets, falsely indicating that the words about the Messiah making all foods clean is something present in ancient manuscripts (MSS).
“…because it is not traveling into the heart, but into the belly and travels into the sewer? (He said thus, cleansing all foods.)” (MLV2019)
Anytime, in our current Bibles, there is a word or phrase that is in brackets [], parentheses (), italicized, or grayed out, this indicates that those particular words, so marked, are often not found in any ancient extant manuscripts, or even the newer ones, for that matter. Studying different manuscripts will give the best interpretation.
A resolution
Ultimately, this passage is about the transference of ritual impurity. Therefore, the disciples ate with “unclean hands,” according to Pharisaic traditions, making what they ate “unclean.” We must remember what was and what was not considered food at the time of the occurrence portrayed here. The disciples were not chowing down on BLTs. The Pharisees were not protesting whether what the disciples ate was deemed clean or not. They would have outright excoriated Yehoshua and His disciples if that were the case. The key to understanding is in 7:1-5, where we see: “Now when the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem, they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed. (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands properly, holding to the tradition of the elders, and when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions that they observe, such as the washing of cups and pots and copper vessels and dining couches.) And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?” (ESV)
Reading this particular passage, in context, we see that the Messiah was teaching that what His followers did was acceptable regarding eating. They ate without the traditions of man (Mk. 7:3-9). That is, they ate without washing their hands in any ritual manner. Eating the food with unclean hands wasn’t the problem, but it was with the religious teachers and their thoughts. “For out of the heart come forth wicked reasonings, murders, adulteries, whorings, thefts, false witnessings, slanders. These defile the man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.” (TS2009, Mt. 15:19-20)
Another thought gives a more profound understanding of this matter. An example is hand-washing after waking up. Rabbinic rules indicate that Jewish tradition held that a “foul spirit” was on the hands of a person who slept and awoke. Upon waking from sleep, a proper hand-washing ritual had to take place (Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chayim 4). If anyone did not follow the rules down to the letter, that person’s hands would be considered unclean. So, anything that the person handled became unclean. These compounded rituals are precisely what the Messiah came to abolish in following the Torah properly. He and Rav Sha’ul came to give the proper understanding that Torah should hold in the lives of obedient believers rather than taking to traditions made by man, such as what we have today.
Concerning Mk. 7:14- 19, we can see the Messiah spoke to the hyper-religious leaders and that what they did was not scriptural. He had come to set them straight. And they killed Him because of that.
There is a dispute regarding whether or not the phrase “he declared all foods clean” is simply a side comment from the author of this book of Scripture. Most versions hold to this understanding, although there is a number that do not. Another more straightforward way of thinking about it, while still maintaining the integrity of the thought of the text, might better be “and so He declared the way of eating foods was clean.” Food was not the direct focus of the thought in this passage, but the way of eating was. Acceptable foods did not become ritually unclean when touched with unwashed hands. The idea was regarding ritual impurity taken to the ‘nth degree by the religious leaders of the day. The Messiah was doing away with the “works of the law” that had become so burdensome to all. Rav Sha’ul later did the same thing.
Let me restate it differently: The food was clean. The religious leaders and Yehoshua would have flipped out if His students had a BLT. Do you get the drift? According to the religious teachers, the people were not clean because they did not uphold the traditions of the religious leaders. The food (clean food) was good to go.
Man does not become unclean because he doesn’t follow religious traditions. Man becomes unclean through his vanity in his words and the behaviors that stem from his heart, not his stomach. Doing away with the religious tradition and holding to a proper view of the Torah (which includes not eating unclean animals) was and continues to be our goal for living in the Ruach HaChodesh through the Messiah.
Again, a thought that can help clarify the problem is understanding what was considered food and what was not. Swine’s flesh, horses, Fido, Morris, crustaceans or fish without fins and scales, particular fowl, and whatever else may be edible were never considered food in the first place. So, what was never considered food in the first place wasn’t included in the thoughts given here.
Nothing would have magically transformed all of these unclean things into being acceptable. If ALL foods are now clean to eat, we can eat dirt and still consider it food. I speak facetiously but take the conclusion to an absurd length to show the impossibility of just any old thing being considered food. Is eating human flesh now considered something we can do without a second thought? Don’t forget: Man is an unclean animal! Dig in!
As regards what makes a man unclean, please read Mk. 7:20-23: “And He (Yehoshua) said, “What comes out of a man, that defiles a man For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil reasonings, adulteries, whorings, murders, thefts, greedy desires, wickednesses, deceit, indecency, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these wicked matters come from within and defile a man.”
A question might be asked at this point. How many items in the list immediately above might be considered when it has been concluded that one perverts the Logos given to true, faithful, and obedient believers? Evil reasonings? Murders? Greedy desires? Wickedness? Deceit? Pride? Foolishness? All of these things have nothing to do with food other than when people try to pervert the true meaning of what food is in Scripture. The sin is in the perversion of Scripture.
The Sadduccees and Pharisees were ready to fight merely over Paul's teaching of "One resurrected"...the Pharisees declared they saw "no evil" in Paul Acts 23:9 You think they'd say that if Paul was teaching "we can eat pork now"? LOL
Many years later Peter kept from eating unclean...HE WAS THERE when that "does not defile" was taught...and yet Peter still did not eat unclean meats.
The disciples were about to be killed for merely teaching One resurrected...Gamaliel told them "leave them alone" ...would he have said that if the message was "we can eat pork now?" LOL
That Christendom claims "He changed the customs handed down to Moses from Sinai" is EXACTLY the false witness the Synanagogue of Freedmen wished to slander Stephen with Acts 6:13-14
what defiles a man is from the heart...an already defiled man will accept defilement...just an uncircumcised heart will accept unclean as food...
what comes out of a defiled man's mouth is "yes I will have that pork"
Many believe Romans 14 says that Christians are free from
All former restrictions regarding the meats they may eat.
They cite as proof verse 14, in which Paul wrote,
"know - that is, I have been persuaded by the Messiah...That nothing is unclean in itself.
But if a person considers something unclean, then for him it is unclean."
This approach, however, fails to consider the context of Paul's letter as well as the specific Greek words he used.
.
.
Those who assume the subject of Romans 14 is a retraction of God's Torah regarding clean and
.
Unclean animals must force this interpretation into the text because it has no biblical foundation.
.
.
The chapter itself shows that the discussion concerned meats sacrificed to idols and Fasting.
Verse 2 contrasts the person who "eats only vegetables" with the one who believes
"He may eat all things" Meat as well as vegetables.
.
.
Verse 6 discusses eating vs. not eating and is variously interpreted as
Referring to fasting (not eating or drinking), vegetarianism
.
(Consuming only vegetables) or eating or not eating meat sacrificed to idols.
.
Verse 21 shows that meat offered to idols was the underlying issue of this chapter:
.
"It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which
Your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak."
.
.
The Romans of the day commonly offered both meat and wine to idols,
With portions of the offerings later sold in the marketplace.
.
Should a Christian question the source of his meat?
.
Some thought there was nothing wrong with eating meat that had been
Offered to idols because idols were worthless and phony.
Others carefully checked the source of their meat or gave up meat altogether.
.
.
Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 8 that the main concern for a
Christian is to not defile his own conscience or the conscience of other Christians.
Jewish Believers in Messiah Yahshua especially might have been inclined to feel
Contaminated by anything related to idolatry.
.
.
But because an idol cannot, by itself, render anything pure or defiled,
A person's conscience, not the idol, is the real issue.
.
.
Romans 14:3
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.
Well, this surely clears up that all things can be eaten, Right? Nope.
.
Romans 14 is often misunderstood (and is often used to discredit the Sabbath).
The Context of Romans 14 is Fasting. Not keeping Sabbath or Eating unclean Foods.
So what is the point of Paul's instruction about eating or not eating in Romans 14?
Depending on their consciences, early believers had several choices.
Those wishing to be sure of avoiding meat sacrificed to idols could choose to eat only vegetables,
.
To Fast or to avoid food altogether when faced with the prospect of consuming foods of suspicious background.
Many believe plagiarism is a sin.
Mark chapter 7 did NOT make all foods clean. Christians miss the point of what's being said here.
Yes, what enters the mouth goes into the stomach and out as waste. This doesn't defile the man. But what comes out of the heart defiles the man.
What is not understood here is DISOBEDIENCE comes out of the heart is what defiles the man. This passage is NOT about food at all.
The Torah lists the foods God says we aren't allowd to eat. We don't eat them because GOD SAYS DON'T EAT THEM. This passage is about obedience to the commandments. Disobedience comes out of the heart for not obeying the dietary laws. If you love Me, keep My commandments. For this is love.
Foods have zilch to do with Mark chapter 7 but obedience to the Torah which says, don't do what I command you not to do.
Don't eat the foods I don't want you to eat is the message of Mark 7!! Same with Peter's sheet in Acts chapter 10.
This vision wasn't about certain foods becoming clean or those that were forbidden are now clean.
Acts 10:28-35 was about not calling the gentile believers unclean. Jews are being told to stop shunning gentiles any longer becase God Himself saved the gentiles also. This vision was not about foods but all believers even gentiles were not to be shoved away any longer and were to be accepted now by the Jewish believers in Yeshua. The dietary commands are just as important as are the 10! The Feasts are also as important as are the 10 commandments.
All of Torah commands are to be obeyed by the whole world. Isaiah 24:5-6 makes this clear. Torah is not just forJews only, but the whole world is guilty for transgressing the law, violating the statutes and breaking the everlasting covenant. This includes the new covenant in Jeremiah 31:31-34.
Start teaching Torah Christians and appy it with the grace given us at Calvary. We are saved by grace apart from the Torah law. So AFTER we receive salvation by Calvary, the Torah is now WRITTEN on our hearts.
Isaiah 8:20 says it best, " To the law ( Torah) and to the testimony of it ( Christ Jesus ) if they speak not according to this, there is NO LIGHT in them." Jesus is the living Torah as He was the Word made flesh and dwelt with men. John 1:1-18. Return to the Torah church and apply it in love, not works for salvation but obedience after receiving salvation.
We have to understand what Phariseeism is. It is man made rules invented by the Rabbi's, which violated the Torah law given us at Mt. Sinai.
Deuteronomy 4:2 and 12: 32 commands us to not add to or subtract from the written Torah.
The Pharisee violated the written Torah and added their own laws. This teaching is called the Talmud which contains the Mishna and Gemara. In other words, the first 5 books of Moses became over 63 volumes of Rabbinic baloney, their interpretation. Man made laws. The Torah says nothing about washing hands or eating from ritually contaminated vessels.
The Pharisees had the PPL controlled. If the PPL didn't walk the Pharisees line, they were kicked out of the Synagogues. The feared the Pharisees and their man made rules which were not in the written Torah at Sinai.
Jesus set the common ppl free from Phariseeism and the ppl loved Him for it. Jesus purposely broke Pharisee law.
Look at the water into wine miracle.
The guests were running out of wine for the marriage. Miriam, mother of Jesus told the servants to do what her Son said. The pots were ceremoniously unclean. According to Talmud, the water put in " unclean " pots was not to be used for 24 hours..Those pots had to be filled with water clear up to the brim and set for 24 hours to be ritually clean according to Talmud. Torah said nothing about this.
Jesus commanded the servants to fill the water pots. He did His miracle here turning the water into wine. When the master of the wedding tasted the wine Jesus set before them , they marveled.
He said to Jesus, the good wine is brought out at the start of the banquet. You have saved the best for last. The master of the wedding didn't know where the wine came from. But the servants knew.
I can just imagine how irate the MC became when he found out what Jesus had done. Jesus violated the Pharisee Talmud. I just bet the MC was madder than a hornet when he found out what Jesus had done. Jesus used the pots the Pharisees deemed as ritually unclean.
Jesus did everything to belittle the Pharisee rules. He even healed the man who laid on a mat / bed for years. This healing was on the Sabbath. He told the man to take up his bed and walk home.
By doing this the healed man violated the Talmud which said no one can walk so many steps on the Sabbath. The Torah said no such a thing. Is it any wonder the Pharisee set out to kill Jesus? Jesus was ruining the hold on the common Jews the Pharisees had over the PPL.
And we know how Jesus chided the Pharisees in Matthew chapter 23. Jesus came to set the common Jews free from the hold the Pharisees had on the PPL.
Again, no wonder the Pharisees plotted to kill Jesus.
I have to disagree with you on the dietary laws. Everything else you said is spot on.
Has the pig changed? Isaiah 66:17 speaks loud and clear.
I choose to keep Torah law, ALL OF IT including the dietary laws. The Torah never passed away at Calvary. It became written on our hearts.
Paul says in Hebrews 7:12 that with the new covenant there became a necessity to change Torah. Because the Priesthood changed. The service to Torah changed. The changes are these;
The sacrifice changed from animal blood to that of Jesus' blood.
The circumcision changed from flesh to heart. And of course the Priesthood changed as Hebrews 7:12 says. The new covenant brought about better promises. Jesus is now the High Priest thereby taking away the family of Cohen as High Priest. Jesus is now the High Priesthood after the order of the Melek Zedek or Melchizedek. Psalms 10:4.
But every other Torah law is still in force, including the dietary and the laws of the Biblical Feasts which are prophesies of the Father about His Son.
If you choose to eat pork, I don't condemn you. Scripture does. You are transgressing the Torah which is sin according to 1John 3:4. I choose to keep Torah because it's disobedience to Torah which defiles the man. The dietary laws are still in force. But do what you choose. I choose to obey the Father's Torah. Blessings to you, sir.

I like your videos, I just think you have guests that misrepresent reality in their critiques.
Didn’t Mark 7 take place during the old covenant?
Another philosophical discussion, not biblical at all. What if your definition of food is not what Jesus meant? If peter was the one asking Jesus about what he meant why was it so difficult for Peter to eat unclean foods in Acts? Jesus as a Jew, i am sure Jesus ate clean foods based on Leviticus 11.
What is unfortunate is the fact that we do not take the time to read the bible for ourselves and ask the Holy Spirit to iluminate us.
By the way I'm not in any manner trying to hold judgment on anyone or condemn anyone The things I'm saying I'm saying to provide my perception of the matter for the purpose of discussing and whatnot so we can all be of one mind and one understanding regarding the matter
That statement doesn't exist in the KJV, but let's say the statement does belong, it still wouldn't mean what people think, not all animals are food, so the statement wouldn't apply those animals anyway.
So you're saying that pork goes into the stomach, defiles a man & out comes sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly?
@@kimartist Lol! Your reply makes no sense, I said the statement only applies to that which was deemed food, it couldn't apply to pork since it was never given for food, those who eat pork are defiling their temple with an unholy thing, the bible says in 2 Corinthians 6:17 not to touch the unclean thing, the word "unclean" is the greek word akathartos and is the direct translation of unclean given in Leviticus 11, so all who believe they can eat whatever they want are in denial.

Sorry this chapter doesnt tell me that lizards and ants etc are clean to eat to eat.

Its recommendable to have another person to discuss scripture about this so we can make informed decisions base on thus said The Lord and faith. But not based on a bias study.

If from the heart comes the evil thoughts of murder, lying, sexual immorality etc, where did it get there in the first place? The answer is in James 1:13-15, “… each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then the desire when it has conceived ( or carried it out), give birth to sin…..”, the result of sin is what comes out of the heart, which is our spirit, and this is what contaminates us. When the Spirit creates a new spirit in us, we no longer have a contaminated heart because it has been renewed and continuously cleanse by the Spirit in us from the Father.
The words “thus he declared” are not in the Greek text of Mark 7:19. Translators added these words. Apparently they do not appear in any Bible translation prior to the 20th Century. Given the context, it is obvious they don't belong. As for the Acts 10 story of Peter's vision, once again we see the text being eisegetically interpreted . Note that when Peter explained the vision to his colleagues in verse 28 he doesn't mention anything about a change in God's food laws. He provides his interpretation of what the purpose of the vision was and it had nothing to do with a radical change in God's law. There are many errors in the argument presented here and one should heed the warning of Isaiah 66:17, a prophesy regarding Christ's return; "They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.
Hi, Zegrebnik. If you're legitimately interested in learning the facts about the phrase in Mark 7:19, we have a video that shows those words existed as far back as the fourth century. In fact, you can view the Greek manuscript yourself online here: www.codexsinaiticus.org/en/manuscript.aspx.
Here's the video where we walk you through it:
*Mark 7:19 Manuscript Evidence: Did Jesus really declare all foods clean?*

You can make up your own mind about what the facts mean, of course, but you at least deserve to know the facts.

@@TheBiblicalRoots If you are right about “all foods clean” being part of the original Mark 7:19 text it still doesn’t Help to further your argument unless part of your argument is that Jesus is not God because the Bible teaches that Jesus is God, The One who Gave His definition of food to Moses and Erin in Leviticus 11. You are inserting your definition of food into the text as opposed to using God’s definition of food that comes from the Bible (Leviticus 11).
I would also like to point out that your argument hinges on God’s food laws only being for the Jews During the old covenant but Mark 7 records Jesus *(a Jew)* talking to the Jews during the old covenant. Your teaching implies that Jesus did away with Old Testament law before the cross. Is that what you believe?

Jesus can't lie right?? he said he's not abolishing the law...you are saying he did in fact abolish one of the laws, the dietary laws??
if so what is the fulfillment? You do know Jesus can't lie right, and every fulfilled law didn't get abolished??
example, animal sacrifice - Jesus was/is our sacrifice and did what the animal sacrifice never could do...
Levi priesthood, again Jesus was/is the ultimate priest, obvious he does more than a typical priest could ever do...
one more...Jerusalem was the place of worship, now we still must worship but we are now not limited...“Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship... But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him (John 4:20-24).. I could do this many more times...
You see? So if the dietary law was fulfilled WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT IN THE BIBLE, BECAUSE BY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, JESUS LIED AND ABOLISHED A LAW AFTER HE SAID HE WOULDN'T :)
lastly..An unclean animal was not described as defiled/common...In Acts 10:14 Peter distinguishes “common” koinos from “unclean" akathartos...

@@salpezzino7803You need to learn about Judging sir..Ie; Superficial judgment is wrong. Passing judgment on someone based solely on appearances is sinful (John 7:24). It is foolish to jump to conclusions before investigating the facts (Proverbs 18:13). Simon the Pharisee passed judgment on a woman based on her appearance and reputation, but he could not see that the woman had been forgiven; Simon thus drew Jesus’ rebuke for his unrighteous judgment (Luke 7:36-50).
Harsh, unforgiving judgment is wrong. We are “always to be gentle toward everyone” (Titus 3:2). It is the merciful who will be shown mercy (Matthew 5:7), and, as Jesus warned, “In the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you” (Matthew 7:2).
Self-righteous judgment is wrong. We are called to humility, and “God opposes the proud” (James 4:6). In Jesus’ parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, the Pharisee was confident in his own righteousness and from that proud position judged the publican; however, God sees the heart and refused to forgive the Pharisee’s sin (Luke 18:9-14).
Finally, Untrue judgment is wrong. The Bible clearly forbids bearing false witness (Proverbs 19:5). “Slander no one” (Titus 3:2).
Unless you know everything 100% about the person you wish to judge , then don't Judge.. a criminal court doesn't Judge anyone before hearing seeing ALL the evidence sir..
you'd think "5But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him: 6Whoever claims to abide in Him MUST WALK AS JESUS WALKED.

One cannot believe what Scripture says about itself as being God-breathed and believe some of it is not God-breathed.
Rob as you seek honest answers Hosea 6:6 tells us that as Hebrews 10:8, no offering under the law is satisfactory, even the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross could not atonement for sins. There was not a sacrifice of the law by Jesus, but by faith in his blood in heaven he can be the Mercy Seat, and only by forgiveness of past sins at baptism can the sanctified be perfected.
We have to have a circumcised heart, and accept Jesus as our Judge that our past sins can be remembered no more, as Hebrews 10:16-17.
Grace comes by mercy not a blood sacrifice, Jesus changed the covenant on his death, as Hebrews 10:16, the ordinances (rites and rituals) of the OT were nailed to the Cross.

Hi, Simon. I have to admit, I was a bit shocked by your statement, "even the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross could not atonement for sins." I had to re-read it three times. Because that's not what the Bible says.
"He himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for those of the whole world." (1 John 2:2)
"This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." (1 John 4:10)
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood-to be received by faith." (Rom. 3:23-25).
"He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption." (Heb. 9:12)
RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots It is not his blood on the Cross that directly affects us, the blood of the covenant is by faith in his blood in heaven, all that you quote comes about indirectly in the new covenant for which his blood has ordained in heaven as Hebrews 9:22.
You my friend should be shocked that you follow mere theories of atonement on the Cross, but it is the elevation of Jesus after his sacrifice, to be our high priest over the Mercy Seat that brings atonement.
The covenant assumes atonement at baptism, as it assumes our promise to obey the law of righteousness, but Romans 7:1-4 tells believers where their responsibilities lie.
I have said before you ESV reads different to the KJV in Romans 3:25 and elsewhere. The Cross is not a temple event of the law, it must be understood in the context of a curse, not blood on a Mercy Seat.
Hmm.. I was wondering if you were going to reference Peters dream of the sheet with the animals…the meaning behind the dream was of the gentile that was to speak with Peter. Jesus did not cleanse the unclean meat there.
Rob,
You disparage the HR argument that the Israelites did not consider unclean animals as food, but I would have you consider, despite globalist propaganda, that we (or at least I) do not consider meal worms or cock roaches as food. Thus, the subject of Mark 7 and Matthew is authentically dirt on the hands, not food. Notice the parallel account in Mt 15:
18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20 These are the things which defile a man: but TO EAT WITH UNWASHEN HANDS DEFILETH NOT A MAN.
Yes, the problem is not eating with unwashed hands but what comes out of the heart…sin. What is sin?
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW. (1 John 3:4)
What does God expect of us?
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and KEEP HIS COMMANDMENETS: for this is the whole duty of MAN. (Ecc 12:13)
1 All the COMMANDMENTS which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.
2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, WHETHER THOU WOULDEST KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, OR NO.
3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that MAN doth not live by bread only, but by EVERY WORD that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth MAN live.
H120, adam - human being, mankind [not just an Israelite].
Centuries later, Yeshua quotes Himself and substantiates Torah with these same words in Mt 4 -
4 But he answered and said, It is WRITTEN (Dt 8:1-3), MAN shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY WORD that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (Mt 4:4)
G444, Anthropos - man-faced, i.e. a human being [not just an Israelite].
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS (Torah).
3 For this is the love of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and his commandments are not grievous. (1 John 5:2,3)
The (Re-)New(ed) Covenant is God writing His commandments (Torah) on our hearts so we have a desire to pursue them; i.e. circumcision of the heart.
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law (Torah) in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. (Jer 31:33)
51 Ye stiffnecked and UNCIRCUMCISED IN HEART and ears, ye do always RESIST THE HOLY GHOST: as your fathers did, so do ye.
53 Who have RECEIVED THE LAW by the disposition of angels, and HAVE NOT KEPT IT. (Acts 7:51,53)
And then, as we discussed previously in another thread, there’s the non-sequitur logic you propose:
Let me get this straight. Leviticus 11 delineates COMMANDMENTS OF GOD concerning clean and unclean. And Yeshua, in Mark 7, has just excoriated the scribes and Pharisees for following the “tradition of the elders” (Oral Law) which causes them to BREAK GOD’S COMMANDMENTS (Torah):
5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the TRADITION OF THE ELDERS, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you HYPOCRITES, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Howbeit in VAIN do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the COMMANDMENTS OF MEN.
8 For LAYING ASIDE THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD, ye hold the TRADITION OF MEN, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9 And he said unto them, Full well YE REJECT THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD, that ye may keep YOUR OWN TRADITION.
13 Making the WORD OF GOD (Torah) OF NONE EFFECT THROUGH YOUR TRADITION, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. (Mark 7:5-9,13)
So, after condemning the scribes and Pharisees for breaking God’s Commandments and demanding others to do the same, He, Himself, is now going to LAY ASIDE THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD (Lev 11), teaching others that it’s OK to eat unclean foods? This would make Yeshua quite the hypocrite, would it not?
Oh, but this is a “secret revelation” to His followers? So, where was Matthew? Why doesn’t he relate this “shocking declaration”? You are joining Marcion and the other Gnostics? Then, you need to explain so many verses like:
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, and the faith of Jesus. (Rev 14:12)
…and Ez 43 - 48 where all the OT laws will be enforced over all the earth during the Millennial Reign. Still waiting for this one.
Shalom
34:47 “or how about the descision of the Jerusalem council in Acts 15 where they decided to require “no greater burden” of the Gentile believers than four prohibitions none of which included avoiding the animals labeled unclean under the old covenant.”
So you do insist that believing Gentiles could bring a pig to the synagogue for the potluck after hearing Moses preached every Sabbath…
and as long as that pig was 1) not strangled 2) drained of blood 3) not offered to idols then this pig was clean to eat
Because His death sealed the new covenant which included this claim of His cleansing all foods…added decades later as you admit
A teaching however not applied or given evidence in scripture…AT ALL…never mind during the Testator’s lifetime prior His death…
Hi, MOI! The problem with that theory is that it is not supported anywhere in the Bible. We don't see Gentiles entering the synagogue to learn the law, and nowhere in the NT does it tell us that Gentile followers of Jesus ever should (or did) learn the entire law.
In fact, Jesus specifically told His followers, “They will put you out of the synagogues” (John 16:2)! And He said their adversaries “will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons” (Luke 21:12). And that came true: Believers in Jesus were eventually forced out of the synagogues by Jewish rabbis who instituted _Birkat HaMinim,_ a benediction against heretics that made it clear that even Jewish believers in Yeshua weren’t welcome in the synagogues.
So, I think the most reasonable conclusion is that Gentile followers of Jesus weren’t going to attend synagogue every Sabbath to learn the rest of the law. There is a far stronger and more biblical reason that those four restrictions were given. Here’s a video we made on that specific verse: *Acts 15:21, Hebrew Roots, and the key to the Jerusalem Council* czcams.com/video/e7q892CiklY/video.html

Your response inspires further response on my part but will leave it at this for now.
Hope you also noted some other issues I offered also regarding the switch to new covenant and claimed changes developed in later decades/centuries
@@TheBiblicalRoots Might I start with confirming what occurred in ancient synagogues?
“Now it does not please me that such decrees should be made against our friends and confederates, whereby they are forbidden to live according to their own customs, or to bring in contributions for common suppers and holy festivals, while they are not forbidden so to do even at Rome itself; for even Caius Caesar, our imperator and consul, in that decree wherein he forbade the Bacchanal rioters to meet in the city, did yet permit these Jews, and these only, both to bring in their contributions, and to make their common suppers. Accordingly, when I forbid other Bacchanal rioters, I permit these Jews to gather themselves together, according to the customs and laws of their forefathers, and to persist therein.” Flavius Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews bookXiv 213
Just to confirm communal potlucks occurred there.
Now on to “did Gentiles eat with them”?
@@TheBiblicalRoots did Gentiles fellowship?
Acts 13:42As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people urged them to continue this message on the next Sabbath. 43After the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to continue in the grace of God. 44On the following Sabbath, nearly the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.
Please note Paul could easily have said “hey guys please meet me tomorrow on the Lords resurrection day the NEW day of fellowship”…or even on Wednesday night vespers
Acts 14:1 At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue. There they spoke so effectively that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed.
Acts 17:1Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to aThessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
3 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.
4 And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout aGreeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
Note the message here did not include “Sabbath is done away with…we can eat pork now”
@@TheBiblicalRoots Luke 7:3When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant. 4 They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this, 5for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.
Well to be fair maybe the Roman built the synagogue but was not invited to visit?
After all there was a middle wall of separation even at the temple to keep the “unclean” away…
BUT what is considered food?? Certain not unclean meats.
Hi Jeep. The Greek word used in this passage is _bromata,_ which refers generally to all foods. It means "that which is eaten, sustenance."

@@TheBiblicalRoots And the unclean are not for sustenance.
@@stevepaige7557 tell that to Noah After the flood
@@salpezzino7803Very true..Torah defines righteousness for Israel by specifying that certain animals are “unclean/clean to you” - that is, only unclean for the children of Israel (cf. Lev 11:4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 29, 35, 55; Deut 14:7, 8, 19). As non-Israelites, Noah and his family could have eaten any food they liked without becoming unclean or unrighteous.
@@Mikhael1964 wow, thanks however, I am pretty sure righteousness has nothing to do with eating certain animals, Unless you mean, every law must be kept perfectly for righteousness?
Here is some food for thought, and I swear it's clean - if in fact, Yeshua declared all foods clean in His ministry, if He died and rose again, and His disciples were all there learning from their master, from the Rabbi, why is it that when the LORD commands Peter to rise, kill, and to eat unclean animals, he refuses? If in fact Yeshua declared all foods clean, Peter would never have refused. He would have adhered to his Rabbi Yeshua. Peter would have said, "Oh, no problem." I like crab legs. Yummy! Dipped in butter. Right? This is what the flesh tells you. Right? But His Word/Scripture says that eating these things is abominable.
It's ironic that Peter asks for clarification and then he is the one who gets the vision; three times! Then what happens? Three Gentiles show up and say an angel of the Lord sent us saying you have a word for us. Then What? Peter preaches the gospel to the common (unclean) Gentiles. Peter also declares: Acts 10:34-35 NASB95, ..."I most certainly understand NOW that God is not one to show partially, but in every nation The Man who fears Him (God) and does what is right (could that be follow the commandments?) is welcome to Him. So while preaching the gospel they receive the Holy Spirit.
Now in Acts 11 Peter has to explain his action's to those in Jerusalem who criticized him for being with Gentiles. Acts 11:18 NLT they stop criticizing and said "We can see that God has also given the Gentiles the privilege of repenting of their sins and receiving eternal life. " Great right? So now jump over to Matthew 19:16-17 and see what Jesus says how to receive eternal life.
Please chew on all this food for thought and let me/us know if you are a "Christian" a "Hebrew Roots" a "Seventh day", "Catholic" etc, etc. Whether a lot of us are swinging too far to the extremes of the pendulum (the wide roads), and should be more down the middle with the Scripture (narrow path). The Scripture that loves both Jew and Gentile, both circumcised and uncircumcised. The narrow path that instructs us to "hear and obey". The Scripture that says "If you love Me, you keep My commandments". John 14:15 NASB95
Deuteronomy 12 tells you the difference between animal sacrifice and non animal sacrifice it says, Deuteronomy 12:13 you are not to offer your sacrifices wherever you choose; 14 you must offer them only in the place that the Lord will choose in the territory of one of your tribes. Only there are you to offer your sacrifices that are to be burned and do all the other things that I have commanded you. 15 but you are free to kill and eat your animals wherever you live. You may eat as many as the Lord gives you. All of you whether ritually clean or unclean, may eat them just as you would eat the meat of deer or antelope. Good news bible/TEV
As Leviticus 23 has the Commanded offerings for the Commanded Feasts. Just more evidence Torah Keepers is a Oxymoron
I just don't understand food laws being put to an end. I'm looking at food laws as a scientific biological physical aspect and the evidence shows that those food laws are still applicable that there are things that are unhealthy for us for our physical being. And guys think we're doing the same thing as the Pharisees just on the opposite side of the spectrum, by teaching that The dietary laws are instructions no longer are in effect. Because they are still in effect. the problem or the question is not whether those laws still apply but rather the confusion and misinterpretation of what those laws are to be properly applied to. The Pharisees were saying because of physical uncle uncleanness your spiritually unclean thus it's a Miss application and one that they can use or we're using to make themselves appear to be holy men because from there standpoint all I have to do is wash my body and my garments and have currency and conclude based off of those things that my heart is pure which is how they are pious. So I think it's wrong to say that those laws don't apply still and that is not what is in question what's in question is are you applying them to the right things are you applying physical laws to physical things and leaving it at that or are you applying physical laws to your spirit man. So if you want to live a long healthy life I would conclude that part of succeeding in that you would be wise to keep kosher because if all I ate was steak fat or pig or if I just drink blood eventually that is going to cause me physical illness I'm going to get diabetes and cancer and so on and so forth. So my conclusion my final understanding of what Jesus was saying and what Paul is saying is not that the kosher laws are no longer in effect but rather what they were doing was properly applying them. What we're doing by saying kosher laws are nullified is the reverse of what the Pharisees were doing. The Pharisees were overapplying and now by saying that kosher laws aren't relevant anymore what we're doing is underapplying we're taking the opposite extreme of the law. They were applying physical matters to both physical and spiritual wellness and by us saying that the kosher laws no longer apply we are well it's self-explanatory we're not applying the law at all to either the physical or the spiritual and that is just as wrong. If I eat a bag of drugs it's going to cause me to be physically unclean or physically ill now that doesn't directly affect my spirit although it can eventually have an effect if I become physically unwell and miserable I could start treating people poorly.
@26:45 I think that is twisting and distorting what he's saying. If Jesus was saying that kosher laws don't apply or are not in effect wouldn't he be saying something more like this " All things can be used for food " isn't that a more clear understanding more direct understanding to get to the point that kosher doesn't apply anymore. I don't believe that that's what's being said if that's the case what's wrong with me eating human flesh or flies if that's the case that there's no longer kosher law that it doesn't apply anymore what extreme can I go to I can eat whatever I want it doesn't matter if I can digest it that means it's food for me now? I don't think that's what's being said
Hi, Aaron! You mentioned that you're "looking at food laws as a scientific biological physical aspect and the evidence shows that those food laws are still applicable that there are things that are unhealthy for us for our physical being." I understand where you're coming from. And I think it's important to recognize that the Bible does not state that the food laws were given for the purposes of biology, nutrition, or health. It just doesn't. That might make sense to our human, scientific minds. But the one and only reason the Bible provides for the Old Covenant food restrictions is to set Israel apart from all the nations around them (Lev. 11:44-45). The Hebrew word for this set-apartness is _qadosh,_ which is translated "holy."
Blessings,

Wow Mark 7.19 Jesus never insinuated that we can eat anything the prof added that to prove his argument. Here is a classic example of taking scripture out context Jesus here was pointing out by observation the pharisees hypocracy, by putting the tradition of man over Gods law.
Notice Leviticus 11:1-3 (KJV) And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. If Jesus that we can eat all things then He is contradicting Himself or He change His mind which in Malachi 3:6 (KJV) For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. I find it very sad a lot of the comments have argreed with the prof
What part of NOTHING THAT GOES IN YOU CAN DEFILE YOU did you not understand?
Dont forget the people that Jesus is talking to are Jews and from that perspective, Jesus wouldnt never have insinuated unclean foods by using this phrase, for them to initiate the consumption of lions and hippos. Also if that was the jews would have asked Jesus, why He's changing what God said that was unclean,but noone did so therefore this argument is totally unsubstantiated. Its like using Acts 10 to prove the same point but if you read and let the Bible interpret itself youll find Acts 10:28 (KJV) And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. It had nothing got to do with food.
This is what the Lord said about people that eat unclean meat
Isaiah 66:17 (KJV) They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating SWINES FLESH, AND THE ABOMINATION, AND THE MOUSE, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.

@@TheBiblicalRoots Proof worldly seminaries are of the devil....... You came out teaching false doctrine from day 1........Studies PhD Student in Bible Exposition at Liberty University
I agree with the thrust of the argument presented here, just not in some of the details. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't meat that is "clean" the only meat that is been declared "food"? That is to say that animals that are declared unclean have never been food.
When talking to the Pharisees, the subject of food automatically only included that which is declared clean by God and thus fit for human consumption. The washing that was imposed by the Pharisees wasn't going to change food (that which is declared clean by God) into something that wasn't clean. And it definitely could not make unclean meat (not food) into clean meat (food).
No one here, least of all Jesus, is teaching anyone to disregard any part of the law. The knowledge concerning clean & unclean animals goes back long before the law given to Israel. Animals are either clean or unclean. The unclean animals are those that are the garbage men of the planet. Their flesh is filled with garbage. This is just how it is.
But these are the lessons where grace upon grace comes to mind. As we grow and mature in Christ, submitting our will to His, we obey more and more of the law, not to our salvation, but to our obedience in all humbleness to His will for us.
Am I mistaken that the only part of the His instructions that were removed were those of the Levitical priesthood as Jesus is our High Priest forever?
Also remember,Jesus was not actually advocating eating those unclean foods fr a living..lol..
If you go and eat some bats,dogs,camels,donkeys,all unclean foods fr a month, then see how you are after.. you will be 🤮 I guarantee..
@@josephpchajek2685 You stated, "...which by your logic would make the food defiled...". I don't see where I stated or implied that. You'll need to show me. As I stated in my post, I agree with thrust of the teaching, that what we output is what defiles us.
The teaching of Christ is that food (that which is declared clean by God in His instructions for us) eaten with unwashed hands does NOT make the food unclean. All food is clean by design. It is allowed to be eaten. That is it. Man's/Pharisee's traditions won't make the clean food unclean because we don't wash our hands. No semantic play here.
That which is not clean (as declared by God in His instructions) is not food. God's instructions stand as always. And He did not contradict himself here. Food is clean by definition. Jesus declared ALL food clean whether our hands were washed or not. Unclean animals are not food. And that was not on the table nor the issue at hand.
When we go to Acts 10 as a proof text, that could be a bit tricky as it isn't about food but people.
In verse 19 & 20 we see this:
Acts 10: 19 While Peter was reflecting on the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men are looking for you. 20 But get up, go downstairs and accompany them without misgivings, for I have sent them Myself."
And then further down we see this:
Acts 10:28 And he said to them, "You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a man who is a Jew to associate with a foreigner or to visit him; and yet God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean. 29 That is why I came without even raising any objection when I was sent for."
And a little further down still we then see this:
Acts 10:34 Opening his mouth, Peter said: "I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality, 35 but in every nation the man who fears Him and does what is right is welcome to Him."
I don't think the passage is actually about food.
was those people in Peter's vision? How can Jewish Believers eat with Gentiles who ate Pig? Now read Acts 11. So you are saying for 2000 years Jesus's Bride has gotten it wrong, and have been enjoying Bacon until your Satanic Cult's false teachers started recently teaching that 2000 years of Men of God had it wrong. Has everyone in your cult grew up eating Paint chips? I don't see paint chips on the list of things not to eat
Although I do follow the biblically clean food laws found in Lev. 11, I would like to add I do not follow these laws for any kind of salvation or righteousness. I eat biblically clean because I trust my creator knows what is best for us and that He knows His creation better than we do.
I am not here to argue with anyone on this matter, and I am NOT trying to be confrontational. I am trying to offer a different perspective on this topic. Has anyone ever considered WHY God made the distinction between clean and unclean animals? Has anyone ever considered what the unclean animals eat? Almost all of the unclean animals are scavengers. They eat garbage! Dead animals, their own excretment, and pretty much whatever they find. It is what the animals eat that makes them unclean. Many of them are full of toxins and parasites, which our bodies do not digest well and some of us are even allergic to them. The dietary laws are God's wisdom and shows that He cares what we put into our bodies. God tells us that we are blessed when we obey and cursed when we disobey. The blessings that come from obedience to the dietary laws is better health! It is NOT salvational, or righteousness, or earning us any kind of merit. The curses that come from not obeying these laws is diseases, illnesses, and sickness. The dietary laws are for our protection and are showing us God's wisdom!
I do not have to twist Mark 7 into saying something that it is not saying. Mark 7, in context, is NOT about the dietary laws. It is all about these additional traditions of the Pharisees. It does not ever mention the dietary laws. Mark 7:19 that states: "thus purifying all foods" is specifically talking about the food that was ate with unwashed hands. That was the entire context of the passage. Whatever you eat with unwashed hands will be eliminated from the body when you use the restroom. These traditions of men were making the actual commandments of God of no effect. Jesus did not "make all foods clean" as that is not what all translations even say. That is why it is in paranthesis in most translations that state it that way. Jesus did not change the dietary habits of any animal and it is what the animal eats that makes it unclean. This entire passage in Mark 7 is NOT dealing with food laws, it is dealing with traditions of the Pharisees that were making God's laws to no effect.
The dietary laws are not restrictions that were given to see if we would jump through theological hoops for God. They were given for our benefit. They were given to keep us healthy. If there are any "Hebrew Roots friends" that are saying these restrictions are salvational or earn you some kind of righteousness, they are in error. I do not condemn anyone who eats unclean animals. If you want to eat unclean animals, you go right ahead. But do understand that there is wisdom in these instructions and they were given to protect you. Also understand that Kosher is not the same thing as eating biblically clean. Kosher are restrictions given by Rabbis and are not scriptural. Eating biblically clean is just avoiding the animals God has declared unclean and are not food for us. I hope that some of you will reconsider the dietary laws. These laws are NOT salvational, they are for your protection! We have an awesome Creator who cares about what we put into our mouths as well as what comes out of it!
.With respect, has it occurred to you that many have us, including Rob, have diligently looked into these matters to know how to rightly divide?
Where in scripture does God say unclean animals are toxic?
Have you considered that YOU might be the one in error?
If you choose not to eat certain things that is your right.
However, it is no sin for believers to eat all things, for Jesus has made all things clean.
Jesus made all things clean.
Will you or anyone else dare to suggest that Jesus did NOT make all things clean?
Have you considered that this issue might go beyond food to point to Jesus's glory?
Have you considered Romans 8 that all creation groans to be liberated and all creation waits for the revealing of the sons of God?
Have you considered that God saving every type of animal in the ark, through the waters of baptism, may have pointed to something greater?
Have you considered that when God made his covenant with Noah he also made it with all the animals?
If you remain stuck on food you go around the same mountain and are missing so much of God's amazing work.
Please consider listening to some of Rob's many teachings but even more, seek the Lord.

One thing you didn't explain was the reason why did God commanded in Leveticus not to eat unclean animals. The man made commandment was the superficial hand washing...the God made commandment was to not eat unclean meat. Why the God of the OT contradicts the God of NT? Is not the same God who gave the commandment? Is He changing? (don't think so). Jesus changed their views before His sacrifice so is not a postsacrifice amendment. Did Jesus come to earth so we can eat pork? Did our digestive system change after Jesus came to earth? You started well in saying that the food of the matter was the defiled food not the unclean food..so about that was Jesus talking about. If our bodies are the Temple of Holy Spirit...and the food we put in is a sacrifice that we will not die from starvation...why would you put pork, an unclean food in your temple? I would say this: THE ATTITUDE TO DEFY GODS COMMANDMENT REGARDING EATING UNCLEAN FOOD COMES FROM YOUR HEARTS...AND THATS DEFILE YOU

When Paul says to eat everything he doesn't say it to jews..he tells it to gentiles who had doubts about eating clean food but sacrified to idols...and they didn't know what to do.

Having that clarified, let’s look at the clean and unclean food, and the assumption that Jesus pronounced all food clean, and that there is no distinction between clean and unclean food anymore, between lamb and pork for example.
First of all, the food that the disciples ate was clean food according to Leviticus 11. It was not about bread made out of flour and water, the word “bread” used in this passage had a broader meaning. It is like when Jesus said, “...Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4 KJV)
Moreover, if the disciples ate unclean food (pork, shrimp, etc), be sure that the Pharisees would have mentioned that.
So, now when the Pharisees mentioned that the disciples ate food, without performing a ritual washing, they in fact said that they became spiritually defiled by the ingested food contaminated from their contact with the gentiles/unrighteous.
Jesus, in the following paragraph, is saying that it is not the food that defiles a person but what is in the heart: “And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; [19] Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?” (Mark 7:18, 19 KJV)
What does He mean then, by saying “purging all meats” ? Did He refer to the distinction made in Leviticus 11, between clean and unclean food (beef and pork for example) and thus removed any dietary restrictions?
From what we study up to now, it is clear that by saying “purging all meats” (KJV), “purifying all foods” (NKJV), Jesus declared that the ingested food will not defile a person spiritually, it will not make a person unrighteous. One does not need to perform a ritual washing, because the food is *clean*, it is not contaminated with sin or “unclean”.
Thus if a gentile offers you food, invites you to dinner, or you had contact with a gentile or unrighteous person in the marketplace, is “clean”, is good, there is no problem about that.
Considering the overwhelming evidence provided in this commentary, we can safely draw the conclusion that the matter presented in Mark 7:1-23, is not about eliminating the dietary restrictions made more clear in Leviticus 11, but is about setting straight the misconception that if something will come in contact with a gentile or an unrighteous person, will not defile someone, will not render that person unrighteous or make a sinner out of him/her. The evil things that come from a heart that has not been born again, that is what defiles a person.
Regarding the way Jesus interacted with the Pharisees, and the advice we get in this video to likewise regard those of different faiths, those named in the video, I think that we should first seek to have a deep relationship with Jesus. That will help us love our neighbor to the point we are willing to give our lives for him\her. That was Jesus' attitude, He was willing to die for those Pharisees, and He did, and it was not with hatred that He spoke to them (even though you may call it a righteous hate). Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimathea and Saul of Tarsus, were among the Pharisees who gave their life for Jesus, so we cannot judge and put all into one pot and call them “pigs and dogs”. Those three named above were not the only ones: “Nevertheless *among the chief rulers also many believed on him* ; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:” (John 12:42 KJV)
why would any of the Jewish disciples eat 'unclean" while they were with Jesus? They would be breaking the law they were under for their entire lives. After the Cross would a Disciple of Jesus be able to eat 'unclean' food when eating at a Gentiles home? For 2000 years Men of God interpreted Mark 7, Matthew 15, Acts 10 - 11 - 15 - 21, Romans 14, 1 Timothy 4, Colossians 2, 1 Corinthians 10:27 If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience --- as there are no longer dietary restrictions for those In Christ, Yet, are you saying they All were wrong? And why Now?
I wonder how Jesus's Bride missed your assumption? - "the assumption that Jesus pronounced all food clean, and that there is no distinction between clean and unclean food anymore, between lamb and pork"
The Pharisees did mention that = "Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?” - "the Pharisees rose up and said, “It is necessary to circumcise them and to order them to keep the law of Moses.”
Torahists bound & determined to make the Kingdom of God about food & drink apparently. Would that such zeal be expended upon healing the sick, raising the dead, delivering demons & preaching the Gospel to the poor of the resurrection of their Lord & Savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth rather than bacon/not bacon... 🤔 As if His death on the cross cleansed nothing. Purified nothing. Redeemed nothing. Restored nothing. And defeated nothing evil with the Author & Power of Creation itself. They have a weak/effete "gospel" which is no gospel at all.
@@kimartist The Satanic Cult Hebrew/Jewish roots teach that Jesus died a Murderous Death on the Cross and was Resurrected to sit on the right hand of the Father to show us how to keep the law of Moses. You cant make this crap up.
@@salpezzino7803 So yeah Jesus defeated the law of sin & death to show us how to defeat the law of sin & death too, even though Jesus ALREADY DEFEATED the law of sin & death, because that's what DEFEATED MEANS & so we must therefore continually beat the dead horse of sin & death, because it makes so much sense to continuously beat something already dead AND it shows God how much we love Him 👈😃👍👀
@@vaio4908 you seem double minded. Christians have a form of godliness but they lack the power thereof. They cannot get through Christ power, victory over sin in their life? Do they have the imparted divine nature of Christ or not? What about the righteousness of Christ, still there or is it gone? You cant be saying only those who keep the law of Moses are truly saved.
And this is unbiblical "The true gospel is the good news that Jesus paid for our sins and will forgive everyone who comes to Him in faith and contrition of heart asking for forgiveness"
You are not only diminishing the glorious message of salvation by adding the law of Moses to it, you are teaching the Damnable false gospel Paul speaks of,
the "Law of God is still the moral standard" has No Dietary Restrictions, by your own admission. The Law of God/Moral law are the 10 Commandments, not the law of Moses
And that is the logic of the genius.. Jesus declared all foods clean because He knows that an obedient follower will not eat anything unhealthy. When you decide to eat just because it tastes fine, even if your honest doctor frowns, you already defile yourself - not the food defiles you..
pretty stupid logic, if you ask me. Plus that is Unbiblical
@@salpezzino7803 Remember the Bible doesn’t explain exactly why specific animals are listed as clean or unclean, but we can know that whatever GOD tells us to do is for our good (Deuteronomy 10:13)..And GOD designed the animals-some fit for food and some not.
The Bible also teaches there are meats that are designated as “unclean” (or unfit) for human consumption. These meats include pork, shellfish and the meat of other specific animals, sea creatures and birds. These laws are not ceremonial, but rather, they reveal God’s design of the animals and our digestive system.
Every father wants what is best for his children, and God is no exception. We cannot remain clean if we eat things that are unclean.
GOD has given some detailed instructions regarding clean and unclean animals-the ones we are to eat and which ones we should avoid.
Food Scientist ,thousands of years later ,have actually found the Bible to be correct on those foods listed clean and unclean . They state the unclean foods listed contain bad bacteria that is harmful,bad for human beings.And the clean foods listed and clean for human consumption..
If you think ALL those unclean foods GOD list are now clean to eat, go and eat them all fr a month ,,and come back tell us how fit and healthy you feel..Snakes, Camels, Bats, Dogs, etc..
We should be truly thanking , praising, our almighty GOD for providing that information for us. He loves us so much he warns us what's bad for us to eat,what's unclean..Praise ,honour, Blessings to him I say..AMEN 🙏🙌..

Rob,
Continuing “other food verses”:
ACTS 10
Peter: Oh! I get it now!
Similarly, with regard to Peter and Cornelius in Acts 10, it has probably been 5 to 10 years since the crucifixion and all this time, Peter has maintained a “kosher” diet, avoiding unclean foods. I know, Peter is a little “slow” sometimes, but don’t you think God would have clued him in before now if he didn’t need to continue to observe this Commandment? Notice Peter’s own summary of the account indicates that God was instructing him NOT TO CALL ANY MAN UNCLEAN.
28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an UNLAWFUL THING (Oral Law) for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I SHOULD NOT CALL ANY MAN COMMON OR UNCLEAN.
Shalom
it is NutZ how the Satanic Hebrew/Jewish roots Cult, rejects 2000 years of understanding. Yes, it ALSO has to do with Gentiles, Gentiles eat PIG, so Peter was breaking bread with a Gentile. Read Acts 11 and then Galatians 2:14 But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, “If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?” --- Stop Vomiting what your false teachers teach.

@@salpezzino7803
Sal,
I think it is PRESUMPTUOUS of you to state that Cornelius and those of his household are NOT following the Commandments of God. Yes, the Scripture does NOT specifically state outright that he was Torah pursuant…but, it does intimate that he was well respected among the Jews. That indicates to me that their esteem of him was not based solely on his alms giving. It is quite likely that Cornelius was a “phoboumenos”. Note the following:
The Greek word used for ‘devout’ (eusebes) in Acts is a general religious term that could describe pagan worshipers, Gentile worshippers of Yahweh, and even Jewish worshippers. By pairing eusebes with “one who feared God” (phoboumenos ton theon) Luke “unambiguously defines Cornelius as a worshipper of the God of the Old Testament.”11 Luke uses the words phoboumenos ton theon ten other times in Acts to describe Gentiles who fear the God of Israel, those who stood somewhere in between paganism and Judaism.12 Interpreters and scholars have defined the God-fearer in a variety of ways. God-fearers were not Jewish proselytes, and they were not circumcised. A God-fearer could be simply a non-Jew sympathetic to ethical monotheism who attended synagogue services.13 In the case of Cornelius, who “gave many alms to the Jewish people and prayed to God continually,” a God-fearer is not one who merely sympathizes with Judaism but someone who actively participates in Jewish piety (Acts 10:2).14 Martinus de Boer attributes the following activities to God-fearers: praying to the God of Israel, attending the synagogue, alms-giving, adhering to food laws, and observing the Sabbath.15 Luke describes such a God-fearer in the person of Cornelius. (Truett Journal of Church and Mission, Vol. 7, Num. 1, pp. 7,8, 2010)
This understanding falls right in line with the four things (actually five counting Sabbath) required of newbie believers in Acts 15. The Jews would not have allowed Cornelius into the synagogue if his presence would have rendered them “unclean”.
Also, understand that by the time you get to the Torah restrictions of “things strangled or blood”… slaughtering of animals…in Acts 15, you’ve already determined what animals are to be slaughtered for food (Lev 11).
So, if Cornelius is a phoboumenos, as defined above, he is already following the Torah except for circumcision and ritual immersion…there is no reason for Peter not to bring the Good News about Messiah Yeshua to him…. he is “clean” already and Peter should not reject him because of his ethnic label, gentile.
Shalom

What do you think about following Roman rooted traditions? Traditions of men made to keep people from celebrating YAHWEHs 7 appointed Holy days of which Yeshua is the substance. No I am not a 7th day Adventist or any other denomination. Just a disciple following Yeshua as best I understand.
Biblically He rose on the Feast of First Fruits though. A Holy Day. Only God determines what is Holy. Not man. He being Jesus was the first fruits resurrection. This is not for another month this year.
The devil wants to hide and twist what God commanded us to celebrate which all point to Christ already and always did.
He is the substance of them all.
All point to His first coming and second coming. 7 appointed Christian Holy days are already prescribed by our Father. That He says are Holy and we don’t get to change that I don’t think. That’s how much He loves us. He even asks us to rest on them. Wow! He loves us so much he wants us to rest and set aside days and times He appointed for fellowship.
Something to think about. Does it matter to people what day a person celebrates their birthday or an anniversary or can a person just choose whatever day they want because it doesn’t matter to them. We don’t just love however we want. Others tell us how they desire to be loved as is fitting in the Lord. Same with our Father. He gives the instructions of Love. Interestingly we don’t know Christ’s actual birthday but it is most likely and historically accurate it was Spring or Fall. Passover or Feast of Tabernacles.
Should churches incorporate egg hunting? And teach children to do egg hunts? The first thing they think about and feed is the flesh and self associated with candy.

Good point! The decision of the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15 was to require “no greater burden” of the Gentile believers than those four prohibitions, none of which included avoiding the animals labelled unclean under the Old Covenant.
Shalom,

@@TheBiblicalRoots umm...I am arguing that Acts 15 did NOT provide for the eating of unclean meats but was clarifying to the believing Greek that even CLEAN meat could be made UNCLEAN if it was brought to Sabbath potluck at the synagogue with blood or not properly killed or offered to idols...
Its not like you can kill a rat cleanly drain its blood not offer it to an image and eat...lol
even the Muslims don't think Issa changed that custom handed down to Moses at Sinai
Peter was there when He spoke regarding the clean vs unclean and decades later was STILL not eating unclean
@@TheBiblicalRoots as for "burdens we are to bear"...not one of the Jews at that council was circumcised AS AN ADULT in the custom of Moses and yet now of the believing Gentiles "a burden expected but not carried"
Matt 23:4 and Luke 11:46 He deals with that
Peter refused to place on their necks what was already impossible in the OT..."salvation by circumcision" as it was the Judaizers that were insisting of these believing Greeks "circumcision in order to be saved"
even circumcision is made uncircumcision through disobedience
what matters is the HEART remains circumcised...
@@TheBiblicalRootsYou have no percipience, according to your reasoning (man's wisdom), I suppose you believe murder was too much of a burden as well for the gentiles not to do (rhetorical)?
@@TheBiblicalRoots even today everybody knows Jews don't eat pig...what they don't realize is that even a rare beefburger dripping in blood is "unclean"...
same with the Greeks a cosmopolitan diverse people who were not rude enough to expect Jews to share with them pork but were unaware that even lamb could be unclean...
is why James concluded "for Moses has been read on every Sabbath"...here those dietary details would be better understood...
Greeks also had laws on sexual immorality too...but Moses has his own definition...so show up to hear him on Sabbath...is what James expected...
If Yeshua declares all meats clean would he fulfill the role of Messiah? No. All “food” was already clean
where is one of many 'roles?' The coming of the Kingdom to All Nation, that would be pretty hard to do with dietary restrictions. Which false teachers do you get your vomit from?
@@salpezzino7803 Hello! My question isn’t filled with any anger, malice or lack of love. Gentiles have always had the opportunity to choose to follow the congregation of called out believers. HalleluYAH! Yes Yeshua takers away the death penalty and gives access for anyone anywhere on earth to repent, confess, and believe to share in the commonwealth of Israel. Understanding the scriptures and eating clean food would take time and learning. A new heart ❤️. A want to obey heart with the flesh cut off. Notice they say because Moses is read every Shabbat. So we can start with telling the pagans to stop these things immediately because they will learn Torah in Spirit and Truth every Shabbat. Again, this is a conversation. Maybe we disagree. Then so be it. Jesus will soon make all things clear when he rules and reigns and teaches Truth from Zion without deception or lies. Then people still will need to choose to obey or rebel
”Instead, we should write a letter telling them not to eat any food that is ritually unclean because it has been offered to idols; to keep themselves from sexual immorality; and not to eat any animal that has been strangled, or any blood. For the Law of Moses has been read for a very long time in the synagogues every Sabbath, and his words are preached in every town.”“
Acts 15:20-21 GNTD
If all food was clean then why would Jesus need to "declare all foods clean"? 🤔
@@salpezzino7803 ALL nations who accept His ways…and menu…they wouldn’t be happy otherwise
You have something with vomit? It’s clean have at it…
@@kimartist Because He was showing that the unwashed hands played no part in making food unclean.
