part of my role is to parse sets and identify elements of them that do not meet certain constraints.

test all things. hold on to what is good.
(1 Thessalonians 5:21)
God saw all that He had made, and it was very good.
(Genesis 1:31)
i shouldn't call unclean what He has declared clean. one doesn't have to be a preacher to know that
Let's consider the scriptures you posted.
1 Thess. 5:
20 Despise not prophesyings.
Lev. 11:
45 For I (The Word Which Became Flesh) am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
46 This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:
47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
Is. 65:
3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;
4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me (Don't show me God's Words !!!) ; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
Is. 66:
16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
17 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.
21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
Matt. 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, (Rebellion, disobedience, lust) 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.
22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
Matt. 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Matt. 7:
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
In your religion, is it OK to "despise the Prophesies"? Can you show me one place in the entire Bible where God "Prophesied" that He would make Pork clean?
He told us of the Messiah, of Him Changing the Priesthood, the age of the Gentiles, but never about reversing His Creation of what is clean, or what is Holy.
If I. trusting only in the Word of God which became Flesh, work to "Prove all things" there is not even a question about His creation.
2 Tim. 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
"God saw all that He had made, and it was very good."
