unclean animals? Are we Required to keep food laws under the new covenant?

[montana123]

1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
1Ti 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1Ti 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Col 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

In the New Testament it is spiritual so we can pray over our food and it is clean which we can eat any animal we want.

Jesus took the physical ordinances of Israel out of the way nailing them to His cross for they were contrary to us which means they had no bearing on spiritual salvation which includes meats.

Which let no person judge you in meats by telling you what you can and cannot eat.

It is not wrong to eat pork in the New Testament if a person is spiritual being with God but if they believe they cannot eat pork and they eat pork then it is a sin even though it is alright to eat pork if they believed that.

Both of those

[1] Marriage​

​

[2] "meats" (plant food; Gen. 1:29-30)​

Refer to Genesis 1-3, as both of those things were "created" then. Most misread 1 Tim 4, as it has no alleviation of God's own regulation for diet.

The teachings of Roman Catholicism, teach 'forbiddance' of marriage for Priests, and commands to abstain from certain food for Lent, Liturigcal reasons, etc. As for intance, in the Roman Catholic Taxae Cancellariae (how much to pay for a mass, over a (Catholic) sin), we read:

Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink ...

...

Which let no person judge you in meats by telling you what you can and cannot eat.

Colossians 2, is not about clean and unclean (as those words are never used), but if you read the context, along with Eph. 2, Heb. 9-10, Eze. 45:17; Numbers 28-29, you will see that the context is "meat (offering) and drink (offering)". Paul is directly referencing Ezekiel 45:17, in those places in the NT.

God will indeed judge you, me or anyone, for eating/drinking that which God said not to.

Isa_66:17 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.​

Col. 2:16 – Plural sabbaths, “σαββατων” (G4521), NGPN

Context: “shadow”, “ordinances”, “against”, “carnal”, “worldly sanctuary”, “things to come”

[1.] 7th day made for man before sin of man & need of type/shadow (Mark 2:27; Col. 1:16)

[2.] 7th day is an eternal memorial, pointing backwards, “Remember” (Exo. 20:8)

[3.] 7th day is singular and specific (“the”, “ה”, “ha”) (Exo. 20:8,10,11)

[4.] 7th day differs from yearly, 7th year, & 50th year festal types (Lev. 23:3,4,38, “Besides”), as they festal types are governed by “moons”, not so the 7th day, being light (Pro. 6:23)

[5.] 7th day is called, “the sabbath of the LORD” (Exo. 20:8-11), & “My [God’s, His] sabbaths” (Isa. 56:4; Eze. 20:20), as opposed to theirs, called “your sabbaths” (Lev. 26:34,35), & “her sabbaths” (Lev. 26:34,43; 2 Chr. 26:31; Lam. 1:7; Hos. 2:11)

[6.] 7th day is a “commandment” (Luke 23:54,56), never of the “ordinances” (Col. 2:14,20)

[7.] Col. 2, speaks of “sins” (Col. 2:13), being “transgression of the law” (1 John 3:4), of which the 4th Commandment (Exo. 20:8-11) is central, whereas the yearly [of years] festal sabbaths are not in the Ten Commandments, but given later under Levitical priesthood (Heb. 7:11) because of sin

Albert Barnes [Presbyterian]:

“... Or of the Sabbath days - Greek, “of the Sabbaths.” The word Sabbath in the Old Testament is applied not only to the seventh day, but to all the days of holy rest that were observed by the Hebrews, and particularly to the beginning and close of their great festivals. There is, doubtless, reference to those days in this place, since the word is used in the plural number, and the apostle does not refer particularly to the Sabbath properly so called. There is no evidence from this passage that he would teach that there was no obligation to observe any holy time, for there is not the slightest reason to believe that he meant to teach that one of the ten commandments had ceased to be binding on mankind. If he had used the word in the singular number - “the Sabbath,” it would then, of course, have been clear that he meant to teach that that commandment had ceased to be binding, and that a Sabbath was no longer to be observed. But the use of the term in the plural number, and the connection, show that he had his eye on the great number of days which were observed by the Hebrews as festivals, as a part of their ceremonial and typical law, and not to the moral law, or the Ten Commandments. No part of the moral law - no one of the ten commandments could be spoken of as “a shadow of good things to come.” These commandments are, from the nature of moral law, of perpetual and universal obligation. ...”

-------

Adam Clarke [Methodist]:

“... There is no intimation here that the Sabbath was done away, or that its moral use was superseded, by the introduction of Christianity. I have shown elsewhere that, Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, is a command of perpetual obligation, and can never be superseded but by the final termination of time. ...”

-------

Jamieson, Fausset and Brown [theologians]:

“... the sabbath — Omit “THE,” which is not in the Greek (compare Note, see on Gal_4:10). “SABBATHS” (not “the sabbaths”) of the day of atonement and feast of tabernacles have come to an end with the Jewish services to which they belonged (Lev_23:32, Lev_23:37-39). The weekly sabbath rests on a more permanent foundation, having been instituted in Paradise to commemorate the completion of creation in six days. Lev_23:38 expressly distinguished “the sabbath of the Lord” from the other sabbaths. A positive precept is right because it is commanded, and ceases to be obligatory when abrogated; a moral precept is commanded eternally, because it is eternally right. If we could keep a perpetual sabbath, as we shall hereafter, the positive precept of the sabbath, one in each week, would not be needed. Heb_4:9, “rests,” Greek, “keeping of sabbath” (Isa_66:23). But we cannot, since even Adam, in innocence, needed one amidst his earthly employments; therefore the sabbath is still needed and is therefore still linked with the other nine commandments, as obligatory in the spirit, though the letter of the law has been superseded by that higher spirit of love which is the essence of law and Gospel alike (Rom_13:8-10).”

-------

Justin Edwards [Congregationalist]:

“… A holy-day-sabbath-days; in the original, a festival-sabbaths. The days referred to are those required to be observed in the ceremonial law-days associated by God with meats, drinks, and new moons. The passage does not refer to the Sabbath of the moral law, associated with the commands forbidding theft, murder, and adultery. This weekly Sabbath was never against men or contrary to them, but was always for them, and promotive of their highest good. The observance of it caused them to ride upon the high places of the earth, and to possess the heritage of God’s people. Isaiah 58:13-14; Jeremiah 17:21-27. …”

Both of those

[1] Marriage​

​

[2] "meats" (plant food; Gen. 1:29-30)​

Refer to Genesis 1-3, as both of those things were "created" then. Most misread 1 Tim 4, as it has no alleviation of God's own regulation for diet.

The teachings of Roman Catholicism, teach 'forbiddance' of marriage for Priests, and commands to abstain from certain food for Lent, Liturigcal reasons, etc. As for intance, in the Roman Catholic Taxae Cancellariae (how much to pay for a mass, over a (Catholic) sin), we read:

"... For a layman not to be bound to observe fasts commanded by the church, and to eat cheese, 20d. {1922, HBS 264.6}​

​

For permission given to counts to eat meat and eggs on forbidden days, on account of their health, 12nd. . . . {1922, HBS 264.7} ..." -​

As for marriage, see -

"... You ought anxiously to consider again and again what sort of a burden this is which you are taking upon you of your own accord. Up to this you are free. You may still, if you choose, turn to the aims and desires of the world (licet vobis pro artitrio ad caecularia vota transire). But if you receive this order (of the subdiaconate) it will no longer be lawful to turn back from your purpose. You will be required to continue in the service of God, and with His assistance to observe chastity and to be bound for ever in the ministrations of the Altar, to serve who is to reign. ..." - https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03481a.htm​

1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
1Ti 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1Ti 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

These scriptures are not speaking of the Roman Catholic Church but the new age movement.

Which this shall come out at the latter times the last days of the last days and the Roman Catholic Church has been around for many years.

It is an interpretation of the Bible and religions according to the occult and evolution, and people are still evolving to be spiritual, and Jesus is an ascended master in the occult, and there is no personal God, and the New Age Christ is the final teacher.

The new age movement is of seducing spirits and doctrines of devils which they believe Lucifer is a solar angel that descended from Venus to Earth years ago to bring the principle of mind to the then animal-man and will cause mankind to evolve in the future to be spiritual.

They will forbid the coming together of a man and a woman for population reduction which they push homosexuality in society for population reduction.

Which they even try to confuse the children about their gender, and invite them to gay pride events, and drag queen shows.

Which American Girl Doll Company has a book about making the transition to the opposite sex and if they are confused taking puberty blockers until they decide.

Which they believe Jesus was genetically born a woman and transgendered to be a man as they want to portray Jesus in a different perspective in society as part of the occult, an ascended master, and a transgender to cause people to look at the Bible differently instead of how it was traditionally taught for years.

Which they believe when people evolve there is no man or woman for they are spiritual and believe now that no single approach to gender and sexuality exists.

So they influence people to believe they can be whatever gender they want to be and whatever pronoun they want to be.

The new age movement want to display Jesus as a person who identifies with everyone even if it is against what the Bible teaches which seems like what the hegetsus movement is doing so the new age movement can unite the people together to influence them with the new age movement interpretation of religions.

Which they believe the next evolutionary step is the 5th root race, Aryans, 6th sub-race, that will happen in the United States in the 21st century.

Which is the new age movement to become enlightened to evolve along with the New Age Christ.

When the New Age Christ starts working in the world he will push the agenda of the new age movement to prepare the world to accept him when he claims to be God by evolving to be spiritual and godlike and will share this power with all people who follow him.

They will command to abstain from eating meat for they reverence nature, Mother Earth.

2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

The time will come when the world will not want to hear the truth of the Bible but want to hear it according to the new age movement which they will change the operation of God on Earth to the operation of the new age movement and people will become spiritual and godlike which is the imaginations of people which are fables.

It is because of the new age movement that the world rebels against God by stopping the preaching of the Gospel and the belief in a personal God on a world wide scale all nations governments supporting it and nothing can be taught contrary to the new age movement.

When they follow the New Age Christ then God will end sin on Earth.

But even though those scriptures is speaking of the new age movement the Pope and Vatican will go along with the new age movement interpretation of the Bible and the Pope will be the head of the unified religious system with all religions interpreted by the new age movement.

The Pope and Vatican was always false and it is obvious that when the Roman Empire embraced Christianity they did not get rid of their pagan and occult ways and it became their foundation for interpreting scriptures so they can be influenced to change their beliefs for they do not have a strong foundation to avoid it.

Which Jesus said the gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church but if its foundation is not the truth then they will falter.

Which the Pope and Vatican is not strong enough to combat against the changing times of the world where they now believe the Bible is of the occult and evolution so they will go along with it especially when their foundation is of the occult all the while interpreting the Bible according to that which will only get worse and a worse interpretation for them than what they already were going by.
