mg_anti AM: A questioner would be justifed in thinking that an answerer on R&S would have access to a Bible...

Micros: Your conjecture is unprovable from real Bible study.

cdlfamilyof4: I assume from your comments that you are Jewish. That is fine. However, most folks do not understand that the New Testament does not in any way, shape, or form release a believer from the food laws or the Sabbath and High Days. Perhaps you should read the NT with your (if you have a Jewish background) unique perspective of knowing the Hebrew Scriptures.

No , we should never eat anything that has not been sactified by God for us to eat. As it says so in the new testament.
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
It means what it says. Every creature of God---that is, creatures set apart by Scripture (or, as verse 5 puts it, "sanctified by the Word of God") is good for food. (The "creatures of God" that are good for food and of which we are to thankfully receive obviously do not include slugs, maggots, kittens, or pigs, among other things.) Where, in the Word of God, are such meats sanctified? You'll find them in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14.
the Abomination in this verse is those who sacrifice their sin offerings without really being sorry for their sins, thinking that the sacrifice itself is good enough. the old and new go hand in hand.
Isa 66:2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

Those things were an abomination to the Jews. We as Christians are free from them, but that is not the point of the passage. God is sending the message through Isaiah that He will punish Jerusalem for its wickedness. Specifically it is mentioned about those abominations because that is something that a Jew would never do, but some people were even committing that act in the city. Verse 17 is where the separation is made. The first half is talking about a rest and peace for those who are pure; while punishment is for those who are doing those grossly detestable things against the Law of Moses.

66:15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
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.
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.

This verse is condemning those who eat swine and mice to burn. The Abomination is a generalized term for other things that these people were eating for which they will burn.
They are purifying themselves to participate in a pagan ritual. They are being condemned for doing things against the Torah.
Does this verse have any modern application? Nothing that is useful for me. I keep wondering Why not mice? Swine's flesh is one of my favorite dietary items.

God says if you think pork is clean, then for you it is clean, but if you think it is unclean, then for you it is unclean.
I think it's better not to eat it, since all the animal experts agree, no matter how clean the animal eats, the meat for some reason is still not good.
But bacon sure tastes good.
better to just cut back on it, try not to eat too much.

I think most mainstream Christians would say that God told the Hebrews that because they had no refrigerators, etc, and thus pork was inherently dangerous for them.

IF YOU REMEMBER CORRECTLY, JUEDISM WAS THE ORIGINAL FAITH..JEWS DO NOT EAT PORK ETC. AND THIS IS SAYING "THOSE WHO EAT THE FLESH OF PIGS" ETC. IT MAY BE SPEAKING OF THESE OTHER RELIGIONS WHO GO AGAINST OUR GOD
