We’re going to be talking about God’s kosher laws as they pertain to food.
But before we dive in, as with many of the other topics I discuss, there are some foundational principles and mechanics you’ve got to understand first or else you’ll be building your theology on a bed of ever shifting and unstable sand as opposed to good solid rock.
So let’s get started.
The first point you should never forget is that the very first law the Lord ever gave to mankind dealt with food and what was okay to eat and not to eat.
Of course I’m referring to God’s instruction to Adam and Eve to NOT eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
The second most important point connected to this first one is that God originally used food to demonstrate the most important methodology He utilizes in order to bring about His Will in this world.
I would go so far as to say that this is the most visible and preeminent activity of the Lord.
Do you have any idea of what I may be talking about?
I’m talking about the fact that the Lord DIVIDES AND SEPARATES.
Or to put it another way, the Lord defines boundaries for mankind by either prohibiting certain things and/or permitting certain things.
In fact the very act of salvation involves the process of division and separation.
For on judgement day, the Lord will draw a line in the sand and those who will be saved will stand on one side and those who will be condemned will stand on the other side.
God actually demonstrated how He separates and divides at the creation.
All you have to do is go back to the first chapter of Genesis to see this.
First, God separated the night from the day which symbolized dividing good from evil.
He then divided the dry land from the waters of the seas.
When He created the first humans, He divided them into male and female.
He later divided and separated mankind into distinct tribes which later became separate nations.
Afterwards, He separated the people of Israel as a set apart nation unto Himself.
Later on, the Lord even went so far as to separate the tribe of Levi away from all the other tribes of Israel.
Finally, the Lord separated the Levites into Priests and non-Priests.
So you can see the Lord is all about the business of election, division and separation.
On the other hand, the devil is all about the opposite.
Satan seeks to erase the Godly distinctions that the Lord has established.
I don’t mean to keep beating a dead horse here, but the promotion of homosexuality as an okay sexual option or the so-called transgender movement in our day and age is nothing less than a rebellion against God’s divine separation of the sexes.
The interfaith movement that seeks to promote the idea that all religions are really the same and all are really just worshipping the same god is another prime example of how evil forces in the world are seeking to undermine and erase the one true monotheistic faith of the forefathers Abraham, Jacob and Isaac.
Heck, I would even say the so-called trinity teaching is a blasphemous denigration of the fact that God is only ONE as defined in Scripture because it seeks to share His divine nature among two other beings.
Let me close by saying that the food Kosher laws are just another way God separates and divides.
For those to whom He would call His own, the Lord has divided food up into…
…the suitable and unsuitable…
…the ritually clean and unclean (okay for sacrifice or not)…
…and the acceptable and the unacceptable.
