DON’T EAT THAT, IT’LL KILL YA!- Heb.5:13,14

/

Like the 2 covenants that ran parallel to each other while Israel was under the law, with righteousness being by faith, and works of the law being made mandatory by God to keep Israel from destroying itself. So that her messiah would have a purely human bloodline through which to come into the world. And was never meant for Israel to be made righteous before God. So it is that unclean has little to do today with which groceries we grow or buy to eat. Rather, as it always was meant even for Israel under the law, clean and unclean has to do with the “meat” of the word of God. Meat that Hebrews tells us only the mature are equipped to eat.

In Heb.9:15 we read that Jesus “is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.” And in 2 Cor.5:21 we read “For he hath made him be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” So the question is since for those who have believed in Jesus all sin has been forgiven and cleansed, and the transgressions under the law were all redeemed by the death of Christ, and we are righteous in Christ, why do
