Let’s pray together before beginning this lesson:
Father,

Your Word has revealed to us so many wonderful things about You, Your immense love demonstrated through Jesus Christ, and Your will for each one of us.

This set of lessons is now drawing to its close, but we know that You still keep in store many truths which will enlighten our hearts and minds.

May Your Holy Spirit reveal these truths to us, as we open Your Word. In Jesus Christ we pray.

Amen.

1 Corinthians 6:19,20 Comments
What? Know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?

For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Redeemed from sin by the blood of Jesus Christ, we now belong to God. The Holy Spirit dwells within us, making each of our bodies His temple.

This is why God asks us to take care of our bodies.

The Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that He might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. Desirous of seeing us in good health, God has given us many practical guidelines.

If we follow them, we can avoid many diseases.

The Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. God prescribed activity for Adam and Eve, asking them to take care of their garden home.

He knows that regular exercise is the way to maintain optimal health, both physical and mental.

Woe to them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! (...)

Woe to them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink.
God also asks us to avoid alcoholic beverages, which are responsible for so many broken homes, accidental deaths, and so much poverty here on earth.
Ephesians 5:18
Be not drunk with wine.

Drinking alcohol prevents us from having sound judgment:
«Do not drink wine nor strong drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest you die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations: and that you may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean; and that you may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the Lord has spoken to them.» (Leviticus 10:9-11)

«It is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.» (Proverbs 31:4,5)

«Wine and new wine take away the heart.» (Hosea 4:11)

Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has contentions? Who has babbling? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

Look not you on the wine when it is red, when it gives his color in the cup, when it moves itself aright. At the last it bites like a serpent, and stings like an adder.

Your eyes shall behold strange women, and your heart shall utter perverse things. Yes, you shall be as he that lies down in the middle of the sea, or as he that lies on the top of a mast.

«They have stricken me,» shall you say, «and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not. When shall I awake? I will seek it yet again!»

Keep therefore the words of this covenant, (...) lest there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood. The wise Christian should avoid everything that is harmful to his health.

Nowadays, many innocent-looking beverages, like coffee, tea, colas, and energy drinks, contain drugs like caffeine.

And let’s not forget tobacco, which contains a lot of poisons.
Isaiah 55:2
Why do you spend money for that which is not bread? And your labor for that which satisfies not?

Listen diligently to Me, and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. God has also given us practical advice about the diet we should adopt.

Let’s not forget that God is our Creator: He perfectly knows how the human body works, and knows which kind of food is suitable for it.

Don’t we pay attention to the advice of our car manufacturer, about the kind of gasoline we should use? Isn’t our body more valuable than a car?

And God said,

«Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.»
The first diet God planned for man consisted of grains, fruits, nuts, and vegetables, offering the right nutritional ingredients for good health.

«Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat.»

Every moving thing that lives shall be meat for you.

Even as the green herb have I given you all things.
After the Flood, since all vegetation was destroyed, God introduced flesh as food.

However the introduction of flesh into man’s diet was followed by a dramatic decrease in his life expectancy, as we will see in the next table.

You shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and you shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creeps on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.

And you shall be holy to Me: for I the Lord am holy, and have severed you from other people, that you should be Mine.
Although God allowed man to eat flesh, He indicated which kinds of animals are and aren’t appropriate for consumption.

Which are they?

And the Lord said to Noah,

«Come you and all your house into the ark; for you have I seen righteous before Me in this generation.

Of every clean beast you shall take to you by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.»
Some people claim that the distinction between clean and unclean animals belongs only to Moses’ law, and was therefore abolished at the Cross.

But here we see that Noah, long before Moses, was already aware of this distinction.

Noah had in the ark only one couple of each unclean animal. So, if he had eaten, for example, a swine, there would be no more swine today!

John 6:11,12 Comments
And Jesus took the loaves; and when He had given thanks, He distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

When they were filled, He said to His disciples, «Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.»
When we draw a parallel between these two passages, we see that, although Jesus never wasted any food, He attached no importance to the loss of an entire herd of swine.
Mark 5:11-13
Now there was there near to the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. And all the devils sought [Jesus], saying, «Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.»

And immediately Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.

No good thing will [the Lord] withhold from them that walk uprightly. If swine, hare, shellfish, seafood, were suitable to eat, God would not forbid them.

But, from discovery to discovery, science confirms that God is right when He declares that these animals are unclean.

It shall come to pass, if you listen to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the Lord your God (...) will take away from you all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, on you. The Jews are still keeping God’s distinction between clean and unclean animals.

Now, science has demonstrated that heart diseases, some kinds of cancer and some infectious diseases are more frequent in the general population than in Jewish communities.

Most of these diseases have been linked with diet, even with consumption of unclean animals.

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. (...)

«[Those] eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together,» said the Lord.
What God tells us must receive due consideration.

Therefore, the distinction between clean and unclean animals must be taken seriously.
2 Corinthians 6:17
«Come out from among them, and be you separate,» said the Lord, «and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.»

Daniel 1:8,10 Comments
Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. (...)

The prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel,

«I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort?»
This story shows the benefits of following the diet prescribed by God.

Led into captivity to Babylon, Daniel refused to eat the king’s unclean dishes, even if these were considered to be the best food available then.

«Prove your servants, I beseech you, ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink. Then let our countenances be looked on before you, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king’s meat.» (...)

And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king’s meat. (...)

And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better.
After only ten days, the effects of the two diets were already obvious.

[Peter] saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending on him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: wherein were all manner of four footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

And there came a voice to him, «Rise, Peter; kill and eat.»

But Peter said, «Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.»

And the voice spoke to him again the second time, «What God has cleansed, that call not you common.» (...)

Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean.
Does this passage prove that the distinction between clean and unclean animals is abolished?

Peter himself wondered what this vision meant.

And [Peter] said to them,

«You know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come to one of another nation.

But God has showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.»
As he was thinking about the vision, Peter heard that Cornelius, a Gentile (that is, a non-Jew), wished to meet him to listen to the Word of God.

Now, according to the Hebraic law, a Jew was not allowed to associate with a Gentile.

Peter then understood the meaning of the vision: God was inviting Gentiles too to salvation, and Peter was not to consider them as unclean.

I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteems any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. (...)

All things indeed are pure.
Now, what about this passage?

We must read the whole chapter 14 to understand that Paul wasn’t trying to abolish the distinction between clean and unclean flesh. He was rather speaking about the purity of food offered to idols.

Paul taught that a pure flesh remains pure, even if it has been offered to idols (see 1 Corinthians 8:1-13 and 10:23-33).

Not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man. (...)

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.

These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashed hands defiles not a man.
Verse 11 is often used to prove that the distinction between clean and unclean flesh has been abolished.

However, verses 19 and 20 clearly reveal that Jesus was actually speaking of washing hands before eating.

1 Timothy 4:1,3-5 Comments
In the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils, (...) commanding to abstain from meats, which God has created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
And what about this last passage? Does it allow us to eat unclean flesh?

Let’s think about it: will «them which believe and know the truth» eat unclean flesh? Can we eat swine «with thanksgiving»? Is seafood «sanctified by the word of God»?

The Bible says: No.

Through the power of Your Holy Spirit working within us, please help us to put aside right now our bad habits, whatever they may be, and to adopt the healthy way of life You have taught us today.

In Jesus Christ we pray.

Amen.
