Genesis 2
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
After Yahweh created Adam and Eve, He told them to be fruitful and multiply:
Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
This is why I believe they were deceived by satan very shortly after they were created because if they had children before their sin, then the children would have been before sin entered the world. If they did have children before their sin could those children, conceived before sin, be the 'sons of God' mentioned in Genesis chapter 6? (I believe the 'sons of God' were the fallen angels although this is one alternative view I have thought about and have not seen anyone else mention the possibility)
Adam and Eve were told to not eat of the tree. When satan spoke to Eve through the serpent, satan said Yahweh was not honest with them and they could become like Him (become wise) if they ate from it.
Genesis 3
1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Most "christians" cannot see how Adam and Eve could be so deceived that they would eat from the only tree God said to not eat from. I'm quite certain that if Adam and Eve would have known the ramifications of eating from the tree, they would have had second thoughts of doing so (it was Yahweh's plan and He knew they would) Yet the same "christians" who blame Adam and Eve for bringing sin into the world and do not understand how they could have sinned like that are the very same "christians" who ignore what Yahweh said of the dietary laws they were given to obey. They cannot understand how Adam and Eve could have sinned as they are eating their ham sandwiches and shrimp cocktail while hissing "Jesus cleansed it" when anyone brings up their sin. The tree in the Garden of Eden is the same thing as the "christan" and their pig (especially bacon) so it is the very same if Adam and Eve had been told to not eat the pig as the Christians are clearly told - yet "christians" cannot see it is the very same thing
Did Yeshua (Jesus) really cleanse something the Father calls an abomination? If He had, He would have sinned against the Father disqualifying Him as the unblemished lamb that takes away sin.
Yeshua is the Living Torah so when He came, He came to uphold what the Father commanded.John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Many "christians" claim "Jesus cleansed it" when referring to their swine and shellfish yet Yeshua could never have changed the unchanging law, Yeshua could not have been sin free OR the son of Yahweh if He changed the law as He went along. Yahweh's law is unchanging or it would show He was not all knowing if He has to amend it.
Malachai 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Many "christians" - including heretical false teachers like Hank Hanegraaff - claim Yeshua "declared all food clean" in order to justify their rebellion of eating what Yahweh said to not eat.
Mark 7:19 because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? This he said, making all meats clean.
I do realize not all manuscripts (and thus bible versions) include the part of the verse: This he said, making all meats clean. although I have no problem with it being included. Yeshua as a Jew and as author of the Torah would not contradict what He wrote in Leviticus. Meat as defined by Yahweh and as accepted by the Jewish people (including Yeshua) did not include swine, shellfish, or other animals that Yahweh said to not eat. If Yeshua was declaring swine and shellfish as food then the Pharisees would have held it against Him when He was on trial and He would not have been the sin free Lamb of God and would never have risen.
If Yeshua had taught that it was acceptable to eat swine and shellfish and Paul said that, the Bereans would have rejected him as a false teacher and would never have accepted Yeshua as Messiah.
Acts 17
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
If Yeshua had taught that it was now acceptable to eat swine and shellfish, Peter would never have question the vision he had in Acts 10 (which is used by the rebellious to try and prove it is now okay to eat what Yahweh calls an abomination to eat)
Acts 10
11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
The interpretation of this vision was given a few verses later. It was to show gentiles were acceptable to Yahweh:
Acts 10:28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
Some rebellious false "teachers" like Charlie Garrett of Pensacola, Florida claim "the gentiles never had to obey Yahweh's laws so they don't have to now":
Numbers 15
15 As for the congregation, there shall be one statute both for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you, a statute for ever throughout your generations; as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
16 One law and one ordinance shall be both for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
Peter warned that there would be those who twist the words of the apostle Paul to justify their rebellion:
2 Peter 3
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
So many "christians" parrot the false teaching "the apostle Paul said to not judge what I eat or what holidays I celebrate to worship God" twisting the following verse to justify their rebellion. The widely popular heretic "bible answer man" Hank Hanegraaff often misinterprets the following verse claiming the apostle Paul said it was okay to violate what Yahweh said (twisting the words of Paul like Peter said the unstable do to justify their rebellion) :
Colossians 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:
The apostle Paul said this to the former pagan gentile Colossians so they would not let their friends or family judge them when they started keeping Yahweh's dietary laws, feast days, the oberving of the New Moon, or the Sabbath. In context there is absolutely no way Paul told them they could ignore the Sabbath, the dietary laws, or Yahweh's feast days because their friends and family would never judge them on that since that was how they were raised and were doing previously before they accepted Yeshua as Messiah.
In Isaiah speaking of the end times after Israel became a nation in a day (happened in 1948) Yahweh says there would be those who ate abominable things such as swine's flesh and clam chowder, those who sit around in graves (Bethel-Redding's "grave sucking"), and who claim they are "holier than thou" by doing so. Yahweh says they are a stench in His nostrils and will be judged severely:
Isaiah 65
1 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
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; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
Isaiah 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.
Finally, we are to FOLLOW Messiah Yeshua. He is our Shepherd and our Lord and Master. We are to do what He says regardless of what we believe anyone else says. Yeshua is very clear that we are to OBEY and if you believe someone contradicts that and follow that contradiction, then you are not following Yeshua and are calling Him a liar:
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Matthew 7
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. G458
Strong's number G458 iniquity (transliterated as anomia) :
anomia
1) the condition of without law
a) because ignorant of it
b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
1 John 2
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 5
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Now is the time to repent. We are very close to the rapture and when it happens, the strong delusion that has already started in the "church" will be given to the false "christians" that were left behind.
