Did Jesus NOW Say "Hey, let's go get a ham sandwich!"???

DID JESUS DECLARE "ALL" FOODS CLEAN, OR JUST LEVITICAL FOODS?

Question 1:If G-d declared something an abomination/disgusting in His sight. Could Jesus be from the Father, and be ONE with the Father, and completely contradict Him???

Question 2: If Jesus declared "ALL" Foods Clean in His earthly ministry, why would Peter declare that NOTHING UNCLEAN had ever touched his lips, years after the Resurrection??

Question 3: Did you read the WHOLE Chapter Peter had the vision, and the WHOLE CHAPTER where Jesus said the mistranslated quote above?

READ THIS BIBLE CHAPTER REAL SLOW.
Mark 7
"Now when the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem, 2they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed. 3(For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash[a] their hands, holding to the tradition of the elders, 4and 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 ofcups and pots and copper vessels and dining couches. 5And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not walk according to(H) the tradition of the elders, but eat withdefiled hands?"

JESUS AND UNWASHED HANDS:
The Disciples were NOT eating pork. They were eating Levitically Clean Food (Broma/Bromatis) in the Greek. Jesus and His Disciples were first Century Jews, they would never even refer to a pig as food at all. The problem the Pharisees has was that like their version of what is lawful on the Sabbath Yeshua, also a Rabbi, was allowing His disciples to break a TRADITION of the Church leaders. He was not letting them break the Commands of G-d by eating something G-d said was not intended for the human body.


The Pharisees had a tradition that you must WASH YOUR HANDS before you eat. This part is backed by Torah. The problem is that they invented an entire ceremony that was required before you could eat, with someone else washing your hands for you and a paragraph long prayer and the whole nine yards. If you didn't do the entire TRADITIONAL HANDWASHING CEREMONY then what you ate, was considered by the Pharisees, jsut as unclean as eating pig or bat, or a snake or scorpions. The Pharisees did not ask the Disciples why they were eatign a X-mas ham, instead they asked why they ate with "Unwashed Hands". Then "JESUS declared All BROMA clean" Broma is Greek for Levitically Clean/Kashrut food. Their is another word for unclean food that is also translated unclean spirit. He declared ALL Levitically Clean Food as Clean, IF YOU GAVE YOUR HANDS A TRADITIONAL CEREMONIAL WASHING before you ate or Not!

The Pharisees also made their disciples fast on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Jesus did not make His Disciples fast and they questioned Him about this as well.

MARK 7 Continues about the Traditions of the Pharisees, such as Hand Washing.
"6 And he said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written,

(M) "'This people honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me;
7 in vain do they worship me,
teaching as(N) doctrines the commandments of men.'

8 You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men."

9 And he said to them, "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition! 10 For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother'; and, 'Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.' 11 But you say, 'If a man tells his father or his mother, "Whatever you would have gained from me is Corban"' (that is, given to G-d)[d]— 12 then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother, 13 thus(R) making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do."

What Defiles a Person


14 And he called the people to him again and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand: 15 There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him." 17 And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable. 18 And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, 19 since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?" Thus he declared all foods clean.) 20 And he said, "What comes out of a person is what defiles him. 21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person."

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SANITATION UNCLEAN AND SPIRITUALLY UNCLEAN IN MARK 7

The Pharisees got to a point of legalism in which they no longer distinguised between Kashrut Laws (the Sanitation code for good communal health) and the Moral Laws both given by G-d and upheld by Jesus. There are two kinds of unclean, one is that you are physically sick and most likely contagious (Koinos in Greek). The other is that you Spiritually sick and most likely contagious (Akathartos in Greek, from a root word meaning "Spiritual Death"). The Pharisees got the idea from that Greeks that the body was a reflection of the soul, and if you were sick or physically unsanitary then G-d must be upset with you and you are Spiritually Sick. Jesus said that not washing your hands thoroughly before you eat, and what goes into your mouth (like pork) can make you physically sick (Koinos), but what comes out of you is a display of your Spiritual Sickness(Akathartos).

Jesus also upheld the Levitical Diet by upholding the Torah in Matthew 5:19

A House in the Land of Shinar

"Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base." (Zechariah 5:10-11)

This prophecy of the latter days shows a woman named "wickedness" being translated rapidly in a great measuring basket (symbolizing commerce and finance "through all the earth," v. 6) to a base being built for it in the ancient land of Shinar (same as Sumeria). This was also the land of Nimrod, the leader of the post-Flood rebellion against G-d at Babel. "He began to be a mighty one in the earth. . . . And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, . . . in the land of Shinar" (Genesis 10:8, 10).

From this first Babylon in the land of Shinar, the dispersed followers of Nimrod carried their anti G-d, materialistic religion into every land through every age. Its current form is mainly a pantheistic, evolutionary humanism promoting a "new world order," featuring a world government and (supposedly) universal prosperity, without G-d, a world order such as Nimrod tried to build at Babylon long ago. This "new world order" isn't new at all, but it is trying to birth itself once again... maybe for the final stage!

In the final book of the Bible, this woman of wickedness is called "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." She is said to be sitting upon "peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues" (Revelation 17:5, 15). This monstrous system is evidently once again to have a house built for it in the land of Shinar. I am not being a paranoid conspiracy theorist, but isn't it a "coincidence" that we have "freed" Babylon recently??

It is interesting that Babylon (near Baghdad in Iraq) is partially rebuilt. Being very near the geographical center of the earth's land masses, this site is the ideal location for a world government. In any case, the day will come when Babylon will fall forever, and there will be "a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia" (Revelation 18:2; 19:1).

Think... don't feel as much, but THINK.
