Did Yahushua Declare All Foods Clean?
[pw = pagan word] This article first published D27/M01/Y21 Updated D03/M08/Y23
Mainstream Christianity Says Yes
Sadly in this children's animated movie, "Lion Of Judah" a Jesus is seen befriending a pig named Horace (sounds like Horus) in Jerusalem . This is very different to the real Yahushua who sent 1000s of pigs off a cliff in Gaderene which were being farmed contrary to Torah. Jesus then dies on a cross and thereby sets a lamb free from having to be offered up for sacrifice. The movie concludes with two ravens (unclean birds) talking : " So Boss now that we have been cleansed what does that mean?". The other raven answers "it means we're fit to be eaten"
The lie that Yahushua came to make all animals clean is thus
promulgated. This is the typical heresy that offends little ones
and it is clear that a millstone may as well be tied around the whole
neck of Christianity/Catholicism/Constantinism and it be thrown into
the water.
Our Short answer
Yes, all food has always been declared clean by the Father and thus the Son Yahushua would naturally declare all foods clean too. The reality is unclean things remain unclean - they are not food as declared by the Father. Yahushua NEVER cleansed unclean animals to be eaten as food ever! The prophesied plagues that have come upon the earth most notably COVID-19 are evidence among other things of not obeying the food laws of the Creator. More are on the way. In 2018 we already warned people of the coming plagues. Here is that web page: Listeriosis - Pork To Eat Or Not To Eat .
Strangely Christianity seems to agree with the fact that Yahuah's food law is there to prevent modern diseases. Here is FB Meyer on eSword Commentary on Leviticus 11:1-23:
THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN CLEAN AND UNCLEAN
There were good and sufficient reasons for excluding certain animals from Israel’s dietary. Devout medical men insist that this is the finest sanitary code in existence, and that many of the diseases of modern life would disappear if it were universally adopted. God made these distinctions matters of religion, that the well-being of His people might be doubly assured. These restrictions were also imposed to erect strong barriers between the chosen people and the heathen. So long as they obeyed, it was clearly impossible to participate in the heathen festivals, where many of these animals were partaken of.
ref F.B Meyer E-Sword
But they then jump to the other side of the fence
within the same
modern context as if modern disease has been done away with and as if
it is
not prophesied by Yahushua himself for the last days:
We
are not now bound by these
enactments. Our Lord made all meats clean, Mar 7:19...
ref F.B Meyer E-Sword
We will investigate this out
of context
verse, as echoed in Matthew (15), in detail as well as others.
The Baseless Arguments
So many will try
to use out of
context and corrupted scriptural verses to support the eating of
unclean things such as pig, snake and whatever else one might find at a
Wuhan wet market in China. This heresy is still being promulgated in
the midst of the plagues the world is facing. (see Listeriosis - Pork To Eat Or Not To Eat ).
Here is the common response, one which I received from a YouTuber:
It’s not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth — this defiles a person.” Then the disciples came up and told him, “Do you know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard what you said?” He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted. Leave them alone! They are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.” Then Peter said, “Explain this parable to us.” “Do you still lack understanding?” he asked. “Don’t you realize that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is eliminated? But what comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this defiles a person. For from the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false testimonies, slander. These are the things that defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile a person.”
Matthew 15:11-20
So at first this may seem like valid quotes. So, we ask what is the context of the verse being quoted? We note how the tail end of this passage is only used. Prior to this verse in Matthew Yahushua says:
Mat 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, TEACHING for doctrines the commandments of MEN.
So what is it that comes out of the mouth - THE COMMANDMENTS of MEN - VAIN TRADITIONS
let's go further back : The key verse is this:
Then:
Mat 15:5 BUT YE SAY (TAKANOT), Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
Mat 15:6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the COMMANDMENT OF ELOHIM (TORAH)of none effect by YOUR TRADITION (TAKANOT).
Mat 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you...
Now what had been the accusation? The scribes and Pharisees had accused Yahushua and his disciples of something. What?
So was the discussion even about Torah - the commands of men or about a tradition of the elders?
No it was not about Torah but about the rabbinic tradition ( TAKANOT) of men.
What does Yahushua do? Does he tell them get lost because the Torah is done away with - we can eat what we like?
No it is not about what we can or cannot eat is it? Let's check.
It is about:
So it is about not washing hands before eating. And what are they discussing, is it even referring to meat of any kind here? No it is referring to BREAD. There is no Torah command against bread being forbidden (except for seven days when it is not to have leaven around Passover time).
Is this hand washing a commandment anywhere in the Torah? NO it is NOT. It is a Rabbinic tradition of the elders ( TAKANOT).
WARNING
Mark 7:19 has the NIV adding the words in parenthesis :
(In saying this Jesus declared all foods clean)
You can watch this short video regarding that: (please note we do not endorse or agree with everything this teacher preaches in other videos)Does Yahushua defend his argument by saying TORAH is done away with now? NO he does not. Instead he categorically raises the TORAH above the traditions and tells them to stop using their TRADITIONS to make void the TORAH which REMAINS. He uses examples of Torah referring to them as the COMMANDMENTS OF ELOHIM.
Yahushua had over and over again said you must discern between what is TAKANOT (vain traditions of men) versus TORAH (the commandments of YAHUAH)
Mat 23:3 so do and observe whatever they tell you (TORAH), but not the works (WORKS OF THE LAW ARE TAKANOT- VAIN TRADITIONS) they do. For they preach, but do not practice.
Mat 23:4 They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger.
Mat 23:5 They do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long,
Mat 23:6 and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues
Mat 23:7 and greetings in the marketplaces and being called rabbi by others.
Mat 23:8 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers etc etc
False religion, the doctrine that comes out of the mouth of these men is what defiles a man. This false religion that comes out of the mouth which alleges that Yahushua made all things clean, as if he removed the commands of Yahuah is one such heresy that defiles man. This is the heresy of Christianity steeped in Roman Catholicism which must eat pig and unclean things in obedience to Satan.
One has a very big problem with the theory that this "Jesus" removed the commands of Yahuah because Yahushua (pw Jesus) said.
Mat 5:18 For truly, I say to you, until shamayim (pw heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the TORAH until all is accomplished.
THE TORAH REMAINS AS LONG AS SHAMAYIM AND THE EARTH REMAIN.
Repent of the vain traditions of Rome - Babylon , her pig eating Christ Mass cult
Rev 18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues;
Rev 18:5 for her TORAH TRANSGRESSIONS are heaped high as heaven, and Elohim has remembered her iniquities.
Yet the rebuttals will keep coming with comments such as this:
Mark 7:19-23
This is what Jesus said
Are you above Gods word?
To which we reply:
No I am not above Yahuah's Torah. Are you? Please have respect to the Elohim of the scriptures who created shamayim and earth in 6 days and rested the seventh, please refer to Yahuah and Yahushua in future for that is the Elohim and Son I serve. I do not serve "Jzeus" or "God"
This is NOT what Yahushua said. Your "(thus he declared all foods clean )" was added by Rome. If all FOODS are clean as your poor translation submits then bloody meat as food should also be clean.
What sayeth the scriptures in the RENEWED COVENANT AFTER SOME JZEUS ALLEGEDLY NAILED YAHUAH'S TORAH TO SOME CROSS? Apostle Shaul ( Paul who is not an inventor or follower of Christianity says:
So both texts cannot be right. One translation has to be wrong.
You say bloody food is clean to eat, apostle Shaul publicly declares it is not.
Washing the hands or not washing the hands - bloody meat remains UNCLEAN - PERIOD so not all "foods" have been made clean by Yahushua. Yahushua is not above the law of his Father.
Are you above Yahuah's Torah and Ruach Hakodesh? Perhaps you need to get an uncorrupted translation here:
King James Version:
Mar 7:19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats (foods)?
Mar 7:20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
Mar 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Mar 7:22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
Mar 7:23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
So there is no "(thus he declared all foods clean)" which your Christ Mass swine eater the pope would like you to think.
If it were the case it would be "thus he declared all animals clean". We already know he declared all foods clean - that is why they are food, we can eat them, and the other unclean animals are not food.
Yahushua said the stomach purges foods. So are you turning Yahushua into some sort of Stomach god that shoves poop from within and makes you clean and that this Stomach god did not exist in the "Old testament" until J-Zeus turned up with his poop scoop? Simply by suddenly declaring all things clean that were previously unclean for the thousands of years prior to his coming are instantly clean and this is even before he goes to a cross where Christianity claims he nailed the Torah to, mind you. So Yahushua would have had pig on the spit and not transgressed the Torah? What insanity.
A: The stomach purges all FOOD a physiological process.
A: Food is a material need ( not spiritual).Washing hands does not have anything to do with defining whether food is clean or unclean as per Torah. it is what Yahuah has declared as physical food, it is what is defined by HIM not you. It is what he has Created as food versus what he CREATED as non food.
As we see in His WORD (TORAH), which I am obviously not above while those who eat unclean things obviously are, there are:
TWO SEPARATE CATEGORIES OF BAGGAGE ON THE ARK:
Category 1 NON FOOD ITEMS - ONE PAIR OF EACH UNCLEAN ANIMAL
Gen 6:19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
Gen 6:20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
Category 2 FOOD ITEMS , PLANT FOOD, AND SEVEN PAIRS OF CLEAN ANIMALS
FOOD IS THEN DESCRIBED AS THAT WHICH IS EATEN VERSUS THAT WHICH IS NOT TO BE EATENexplained here:
TWO CATEGORIES IN EDEN
CATEGORY 1: FOOD
CATEGORY 2: NON FOOD
Gen 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Elohim hath said, Ye shall not eat of it...
BUT LIKE EVE SOME ARE ABOVE THE LAW OF YAHUAH, THEIR LUSTS DEFINE WHAT IS "GOOD" VERSUS WHAT YAHUAH HAS SAID IS BAD AND DEADLY.EVERY CREATURE OF GOD IS GOOD?
Now let's look at a commonly used text which is not even in the context of unclean versus clean but this is usually the next passage these Torahless heretics turn to as "proof".1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats (FOODS), which Elohim hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
1Ti 4:4 For every creature of Elohim is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1Ti 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of Elohim (pw God) and prayer.
Note it is purified by the Word of Elohim (TORAH) and Yahushua is that Torah made flesh yet apparently these heretics declare that Yahushua's words contradict the words ( Torah ) of his Father and he suddenly could say everything is clean and edible. We note that Shaul make sure to remind us the THE FATHER'S TORAH makes what he has declared Food as Purified for consumption NOT WHAT SOME CHEEEESUS Roman Catholic imposter supposedly said thereafter.Do we see any of the disciples going whoa, whoa, whoa, no way, we have been eating nothing unclean for 1000s of years under torah and now we can eat pig?
If this was the case why was Kipha (Peter) still saying he had not eaten anything unclean when given the vision on the rooftop long after Yahushua had come and gone. Why would he have been freaking out after this alleged wonderful revelation from a so-called pig eating Cheesus that everything is allegedly edible.
Now let's look at "For every CREATURE of Elohim is good and nothing to be refused.
TWO CATEGORIES OF CREATURE
Catgeroy 1: People(who are marrying):
One receives a marriage partner in thanksgiving/worship (to worship Yahuah as one) and that partner has been PURIFIED BY THE WORD OF YAHUAH , ONCE AND FOR ALL BLOOD OF YAHUSHUA if they are a born again believer - keeper of Torah. The Catholic Church forbids marrying by priests saying they must be married to the "church" No such command by Torah.Category 2: foods that are abstained from:
False religion says you must abstain from or cannot eat these foods for whatever reason (these are not Torah commands but man-made).
Rabbis say you cannot eat milk products even if they are in contact with clean foods like beef. This is a false interpretation of Torah.
Catholicism taught that one should fast before taking their
abominable mass /
Eucharist. No such Torah command, neither any mass or Eucharist . Thus
many started eating their "wafer god" Eucharist in the
morning.
(see Transubstantiation - How Low Can You Go?)
It
must be said here that the Catholic believes he is eating blood, the
literal blood of Yahushua
(pw Jesus). Thus one thing is commanded to be abstained from (
Torahless - Strike 1) and another unclean thing - blood to be eaten (
Torahless - Strike 2 ) This is really the doctrine of devils,
of
seducing spirits if anything.
What Yahuah has CREATED as FOOD cannot be overturned
as a non-food
and what he has said is unclean cannot be "DECLARED" as "Food".
Simpling making a "declaration" does not change what the CREATOR HAS
ALREADY "CREATED" .This that is called CREATED "food" is limited to and
defined as just that
1Ti 4:3 .... meats (FOODS), which Elohim hath created to be received with thanksgiving
A: No, Yahuah forbids sea creatures with no fins and scales to be eaten.
A: To clean the oceans. Their function has been created for cleaning the ocean not for eating. Yahushua cannot override that by a sudden so-called declaration.
A: curses - the eradication of bivalves by Torahless consumption has caused the earth's oceans to become polluted and this then has reduced real FOOD, (clean fish) in the ocean to die.
A: No.
Rev 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name [YAHUAH יהוה ], small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
Q: Is every Creature ( person) created to be received.
ALL AND EVERYTHING IS LAWFUL?
Please do not make blanket statements where the word "every" or "all" are used.Some will take Shaul's (Paul) words "all things are lawful unto me" to mean the Torah is done way with. So, is committing murder also lawful to Shaul? Is that what he is saying here? NO, of course not!
Every vessel is always subject to Torah and the Torahless face destruction:
2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
2Ti 2:21 If, (IF IF IF) a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, PURIFIED, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
Historical Evidence
After all this scriptural proof (even that of Acts 15) many will still claim that the early "church" would not have been under the food laws. They will have a very hard time proving such a theory. Early records show Tertullian speaking out against those who persecute believers and try to get them to compromise on the food laws:
"We do not include even animal’s blood in our natural diet. We abstain on that account from things strangled or that die of themselves, that we may not in any way be polluted by blood, even if it is buried in the meat. Finally, when you are testing Christians, you offer them sausages full of blood; you are thoroughly well aware, of course, that among them it is forbidden; but you want to make them transgress.”
While we do not endorse the use of the word "Christian" for believers or "cross worship", the following fact of history is revealing. With less influence by Catholic heresy we see in ancient China the following evidence:
"The Chinese called Muslims, Jews, and Christians in ancient times by the same name, "Hui Hui" (Hwuy-hwuy). Crossworshipers (Christians) were called the "Huay who abstain from animals without the cloven foot"

Even as late
as the
year 392 CE, a religious council in Constantinople (the Synod of
Troullos) prohibited the
eating of any food made of blood, on pain of excommunication for the
layman, and of unfrocking for a priest.
The practice of drinking human blood, which was prevalent in ancient
times, was especially repugnant to
Christians.
M’Clintock & Strong’s Cyclopedia, Volume I, page 834, observes:
“So
far were they from drinking human blood, it
was unlawful for them to drink the blood even of irrational animals.
Numerous testimonies to the same effect are
found in after ages.”
The apostolic decree to “abstain from blood,” was long understood as binding. The early Christian Bishop Eusebius tells of a young woman near the end of the second century, who, before dying under torture made the point that Christians: “are not allowed to eat the blood even of irrational animals.”
web ref: God’s Word on the Sanctity of Blood _ EARLY CHRISTIAN BELIEFS
“The precepts hereby set down in a precise and methodical manner [in Acts Chapter 15] are qualified as indispensable, giving the strongest proof that in the apostles’ minds this was not a temporary arrangement, or a provisional measure.” Professor Edouard Reuss – University of Strasbourg.
“God and men view things in very different lights. What appears important in our eye is very often of no account in the estimation of infinite wisdom; and what appears trifling to us is often of very great importance with God. It was so from the beginning.” – An Enquiry Into the Lawfulness of Eating Blood by Alexander Pirie, 1787.
The final one is most embarrassing to those Protestants still
today
who reject the food laws as if they were done away with when their
so-called"father" of Protestantism himself shows some
adherence
to them, albeit corrupted, but definitely less corrupted than today:
“Now if we want to have a church that conforms to this council (Acts 15),…we must teach and insist that henceforth no prince, lord, burgher, or peasant eat geese, doe, stag, or pork cooked in blood…and burghers and peasants must abstain especially from red sausage and blood sausage.”

Christianity's Weakness
The weakness of Christianity's witness in trying to preach truth to gays is clearly seen when they reject the food laws of Torah. This was abundantly clear in Ray Comfort's Christian movie Audacity as we highlight here:CONCLUSION
That which comes out of the mouth is in the heart, thus false doctrine and prideful humanistic boastings defile a man for they are from the heart. This has nothing to do with abrogating the CREATOR'S laws that forbid eating pig and snake and whatever else you can find at Wuhan wet market or at a Donald Trump campaign (selfie- eating pork at Iowa State Fair) which Yahuah has not created for food. One who's heart is purified to obey Torah is undefiled not one who washes their hands before eating food or worse eating unclean things which are forbidden to eat in the first place contrary to Torah.Beware the Stomach God!
Php 3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose "god" is their stomach, and whose splendour is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
