Teaching Introduction
You call your body a temple of the living God, but are you filling its sacred halls with things that God calls an abomination? Most of us have heard of clean eating, but we ignore the one who defines it. We call him Lord with our lips, but do we honor him with our appetites? We talk about walking like Jesus, but we rarely talk about eating like him.
You follow God with your worship, your words, your prayers. So why not with your food also? You’ve been told that God cares about your heart, but what if he also cares about your plates? What if some of the foods that you’ve always eaten were never meant to be on God’s menu?
In this video, we’re stripping away the traditions and excuses of men to see what scripture actually commands about the food that we consume. This isn’t about diets, trends, or health fads, nor is it even a salvation issue. This is about obedience.
If you’re ready to learn what the Bible really teaches about food, then don’t go anywhere because what you’re about to hear could challenge everything you’ve assumed.
Video Start
So this teaching is going to be all about the question: What would Jesus eat? And this is a teaching on the guidelines from scripture—what scripture has to say about what to eat, what not to eat, what is permissible, is all permissible, etc., etc.—clean and unclean, the Bible versus tradition as it were.

And that link should be down there, whether you’re watching on a video platform or an audio podcasting platform—it should still be down there in the description all the same.
Now, let’s start out by going over the original sin. We’re going to start in Genesis 2:16-17.
And Yahweh Elohim commanded the man, saying, “Eat of every tree of the garden, but do not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. For in that day you eat of it, you shall certainly die.”
And then going on into Genesis 3:1-7.
And the nahash was more crafty than all the lives of the field which Yahweh Elohim had made. And he said to the woman, “Is it true that Elohim has said, ‘Do not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
And the woman said to the nahash, “We are to eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Elohim has said, ‘Do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest you die.'”
And the nahash said to the woman, “You shall certainly not die, for Elohim knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be like Elohim, knowing good and evil.”
And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise. And she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened and they knew that they were naked and they sewed fig leaves together and made loin coverings for themselves.
So starting out right there in the very beginning of creation, the very beginning of scripture, the very first original sin was a dietary instruction that was broken by humans. Yahweh said, “Do not eat that.” And humans thought they knew better. They listened to Satan, the adversary, the nahash as it’s put here. And they ate of what Yahweh said, “Do not eat.”
It’s very, very interesting to see that as the original sin, the very first sin that humans ever committed that led to the downfall—or as they say, the fall of man.
So just keep that in your mind as we go through the rest of this and think of it as you apply the scriptures and what you learn here to your own life and you study for yourself. Just remember that the first original sin was the breaking of a dietary instruction.
Foundational Framework
Now, let’s do some foundational framework just so you know what we’re talking about when we go through the rest of this teaching or when you talk with other people about certain dietary instructions or food and things as it comes from scripture.
Number one is the word kosher. Most people understand what kosher means, but just to get—I should say it nerdy because I’m nerdy and I know some of you are out there too. Let’s look at this definition. It comes from chabad.org says the laws of kosher define the foods that are fit for consumption for a Jew as well as the ritual items that are fit to be used but the word has come to refer more broadly to anything that is above board or legit.
From Merriam-Webster. Their entry on kosher states kosher a sanctioned law or sanctioned by Jewish law that which is sanctioned by Jewish law selling or serving food ritually according to Jewish law being proper acceptable or satisfactory to make kosher the observance of kosher practices.
And from Britannica.com quote kosher meaning fit or proper in Judaism the fitness of an object for ritual purposes though generally applied to foods that meet the requirements of the dietary laws. Kosher is also used to describe, for instance, such objects as a Torah scroll, water for ritual bathing, and the ritual ram’s horn. When applied to food, kosher is the opposite of treyf forbidden. When applied to other things, it is the opposite of pasul, meaning unfit. End quote.
Now, for those of us who want to get more closer to scripture, let’s look at the Strong’s definition. And the Strong’s number is going to be H3787. Kasher, pronounced this a little bit differently, kasher. But it can be conjugated in various different ways. And according to the outline of biblical usage from blueletterbible.org, kosher or kosher means to succeed, to please, to be suitable, to be proper, to be advantageous, to be right and proper.
And this is pretty much the same definition that goes through all of these different lexicons and dictionaries. For instance, Strong’s definition has kosher or kasher as to be straight or right, to be acceptable, to succeed or prosper, to be right or prosper. Brown-Driver-Briggs, be advantageous, proper, suitable, succeed. From Gesenius’s Hebrew lexicon, to be right, to prosper, to succeed from Jastrow’s dictionary, the tarams, to be proper, fit, right, to turn out well, to succeed, etc., etc. From Klein dictionary, pretty much the same thing. to be fit, proper, worth, succeed from the Hebrew Aramaic lexicon of the Old Testament. Exact same thing to be suitable, fit to use.
So kosher doesn’t directly and specifically mean food, but generally nowadays when people are talking about kosher, it’s in context. Most of the time it is referring to food. And that’s how we’re going to be applying it in this particular teaching. So that’s the context that we’re going to be using it in.
Oddly enough, or at least I found this odd, that word H3787, kosher or kosher is only found three times in scripture. That’s in Esther, Ecclesiastes, and another one in Ecclesiastes. Kind of seems like it would be used a lot more, but that’s the only times I was able to find that particular word.
And it’s interesting when the meaning or how it’s defined in all these dictionaries and lexicons that we just went over. The meaning of kosher or kosher is to be fit, to be proper, to be suitable.
Now when it goes through the various foods that it talks about in scripture, these are kosher foods that which is fit, proper, suitable to eat. The other things that it is the opposite of kosher in scripture, it refers to as abomination.
Now, what’s some other abominable things that’s discussed in scripture? Well, you’ve got abominable things like homosexuality, bestiality, incest, etc., etc. Those are called abominations along with the prohibited food as well. Put that in your notes and start mulling on that for a while too. How does that fit in? Especially if you’re like me and you come from a mainstream background like the Baptist like I did and you’re just examining this for the first time and take that really to heart and meditate on it for a while about how the things that scripture says don’t eat it cause abomination along with things like homosexuality bestiality incest etc etc.
Moving on is a word called kashrut. Some of you may have heard this before, but according to, let’s see here, we got Judaism 101. Quote, Kashrut is the body of Jewish law dealing with what foods we can and cannot eat and how those foods must be prepared and eaten. End quote.
From Britannica.com, quote, Kashrut in Judaism, regulations that prohibit the eating of certain foods and require that other foods be prepared in a specified manner. The term also denotes the state of being kosher according to Jewish law. End quote.
And finally from New World Encyclopedia, quote, Kashrut refers to Jewish dietary laws that are in accord with halakha. Jewish dietary laws derived from the Torah’s books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy and are further elucidated in the oral law and codified by later rabbinical authorities. End quote.
In a nutshell. You’ve got the definitions there on screen and there’s more from those particular sites on the notes if you want to go check those out and also the links that you can go and read the actual website for yourself. But in general, kashrut means that which is kosher or proper or fit according to Jewish law, not necessarily the Bible.
We’ll get into some of those distinctions here in just a minute. But kashrut is referring to that which is approved by Jewish law which goes along with the whole legend of the oral law and stuff like that. So it does kind of start with the Bible but then they add a whole bunch more to it. The rabbis did the and when I say rabbis I mean orthodox Judaism, not Karaite reformed anything like that but orthodox Judaism. The ones who came out of the Pharisees and whatnot.
So that is kashrut. That is referring to Jewish law, not necessarily scripture, scriptural commands.
Moving on, looking at the last word for tonight, and that is the word pareve from chabad.org. Quote, Pareve is a Yiddish term for something that is neither meat nor dairy. Jewish law does not allow one to cook or consume meat together with milk products. End quote.
From Britannica.com pareve in the observance of Jewish dietary laws kashrut those foods that may be eaten indiscriminately with either meat dishes or dairy products. End quote.
And finally from St. Louis Jewish Light. Quote, “In the Karaite view of kashrut, one may mix meat and dairy products that come from different animals and each community and individual has autonomy to decide how strict or lax to be.” End quote.
In a nutshell, pareve, and this is something I had to change my thinking on cuz I used to think that pareve was the prohibition against eating milk, I’m sorry, eating meat and dairy together, but it’s not. Pareve is a food that can be eaten with either meat dairy or meat.
So that is what pareve is. And speaking of this prohibition against eating dairy with meat. That applies to orthodox Judaism, not Karaites. Because you can see here, Karaites, they mix their meat and dairy all the time. Reformed is like the wild west. Anarchies that doesn’t apply to reformed Judaism.
But when we talk about not mixing meat and dairy, that comes from rabbinical orthodox pharisaical Judaism.
So where do they get that from? They actually claim to get that from a passage in scripture. There’s actually three different passages from Exodus 34:26, Exodus 23:19, and Deuteronomy 14:21.
But looking at Exodus 34:26, bring the first of the first fruits of your land to the house of Yahweh your Elohim. Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
And that last part is where they get this prohibition of not eating meat with dairy.
However, there’s a lot of problems with that particular interpretation. Number one, the verse prohibits cooking, not eating. I mean, I know it’s getting specific, but a lot of times you have to be specific in order to fully understand what’s going on in scripture.
Number two, this verse refers specifically to a young goat, not all meat.
Three, it specifies its own mother’s milk, not any dairy product in general. Notice that.
Number four, the Jewish law or prohibition relies more on interpretive tradition aka the oral law rather than intrinsic logic.
And finally, trust in authority should not replace understanding. And that’s something that applies not just to those within Judaism, but especially and I speak from experience and also my own self in the past and even now some degree within Christianity or messianism or however you want to phrase it.
A lot of people, you know, I was back in the Baptist church, they would go to church on Sunday morning and the preacher says something and they said, “Amen, preacher.” Raise their hands, hoot and holler, what may ever happen in that particular church. But they would just accept whatever the preacher said, and they they took that authority as though he knew what he was talking about, but they don’t a lot of times, and they don’t back up or verify or go over and look at what the preacher is actually saying.
Again, it just reinforces the point, trust in authority should not replace understanding. We should be able to trust our authorities, but we should not take that over what the scripture actually says.
And here, this prohibition against meat and dairy is one good example, especially within Judaism.
And there’s actually contradictions in scripture against this particular prohibition. One great example is from Genesis 18:7-8.
And Abraham ran to the herd, took a tender and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hurried to prepare it. And he took curds and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them, and he stood by them under the tree as they ate.
Now, who is Abraham preparing all this food for? Well, if you know the context of this particular passage, this is when the three angels or one of them actually refers to as Yahweh, but that’s that’s another discussion for another time. That’s who he is preparing this food for right before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
He’s preparing this food and his food includes meat and dairy together. And it says they ate it assumingly together because he gave it to them together.
And yeah, it’s just you cannot go by this whole oral law tradition. That’s whole wild west scenario in and of itself. The word of Yahweh is there for us to guide our lives by, not the word of man. And that’s what the oral law is in Judaism. It’s the word and traditions of man. That which Yeshua spoke against time and time again.
And we’ll get to some of that here in just a moment as well.
So, just to recap this section on the framework for some words that we’re going to be talking about this particular teaching, kosher in this teaching and our context is going to refer to food that is acceptable for consumption according to scripture. Not according to the pope, not according to Judaism or rabbis, not according to some preacher. No, it’s food that is acceptable for consumption according to scripture. That’s how we’re going to be using the word kosher.
Kashrut. The way we’re going to be using it is food and culinary practices that have been regulated and approved according to Jewish rabbis. Not necessarily scripture, but Jewish rabbis.
And pareve, the way we’re going to be using it in this context is going to be food that is neither meat nor dairy and can be eaten with either.
So that is a little bit of foundation for going on into this particular study on what would Jesus eat.
Sacred Sustenance Standards
So if our authority is scripture and not man’s tradition, what is it that scripture actually tells us about how or what we should eat? Well, a lot of the instructions, the guidelines that we get from scripture come from Leviticus 11. We also get it from Deuteronomy 14 as well as some other places.
Now, for those of you who are listening to an audio podcast, let’s read out those real quick from Leviticus 11. And it’s going to be a lot of verses, so stay with us as we read that out for you.
First off, let’s start out with land animals. This comes from Leviticus 11:3-8.
Whatever has a split hoof completely divided, chewing the cud among the beasts, that you do eat. Only these you do not eat among those that chew the cud or those that have a split hoof. The camel, because it chews the cud but does not have a split hoof, it is unclean to you. And the rabbit, because it chews the cud but does not have a split hoof, it is unclean to you. And the hare, because it chews the cud but does not have a split hoof, it is unclean to you. And the pig, though it has a split hoof, completely divided, yet it does not chew the cud, it is unclean to you. Their flesh you do not eat, and their carcasses you do not touch. They are unclean to you.
And pretty much the same thing goes on in Deuteronomy 14:4-8 as well. So, I’m not going to read that. But basically, in a nutshell, when it comes to land animals, it’s got to have a split hoof all the way through and it’s got to chew the cud. Both of those conditions have to be met in order for it to be fit and proper, in other words, kosher to eat.
Moving on to the aquatic animals. This comes from Leviticus 11:9-12.
These you do eat of all that are in the waters. Anyone that has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas or in the rivers, that you do eat. But all that have not fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers. All that move in the waters, or any living being which is in the waters, they are an abomination to you. They are an abomination to you. Of their flesh you do not eat, and their carcasses you abominate. All that have not fins or scales in the waters are an abomination to you.
You also get pretty much the same thing from Deuteronomy chapter 14:9-10.
So when it comes to aquatic animals, the general guidelines here that’s really easy to follow just like the land animals really easy to follow here for the aquatic animals. It has to have fins and it has to have scales.
So going on to the birds, the fowl, things like that. This comes from Leviticus 11:13-19.
And these you do abominate among the birds that are not eaten. They are an abomination. The eagle and the vulture and the black vulture and the hawk and the falcon after its kind. Every raven after its kind and the ostrich and the nighthawk and the seagull and the hawk after its kind and the little owl and the fisher owl and the great owl and the white owl and the pelican and the carrion vulture and the stork and the heron after its kind and the hoopoe and the bat.
So when it comes to that which flies to birds, poultry, things like that, it doesn’t say state it specifically, but the general guideline here is don’t eat birds that are hunters like the falcons, eagles, stuff like that. And don’t eat scavengers, things like buzzards or seagulls or what’s the other kind of Oh, vulture. Yeah. Don’t eat.
So, basically, anything that hunts or is a scavenger, you don’t eat. Things like chicken, turkey, pheasant, those are good and kosher and proper to eat. But things that hunt or scavengers, those are kind of birds you don’t want to eat.
You can also find those regulations in Deuteronomy 14:11-18.
Going on to insects in Leviticus 11:20-23.
All flying insects that creep on all fours is an abomination to you. Only these you do eat of every flying insect that creeps on all fours. Those which have jointed legs above their feet with which to leap on the earth. These of them you do eat. The locust after its kind and the bald locust after its kind and the cricket after its kind and the grasshopper after its kind. But all other flying insects which have four feet are an abomination to you.
So this specifically lays out what kind of insects that you can eat and I have zero interest in eating bugs and insects. So, this is not something I really practice on a daily basis because it’s not something I seek after.
But anyways, when it comes to insects, it’s got to be a flying insect that flying insect that creeps on all fours that has jointed legs above their feet and which leaps or jumps. And it goes on to specifically talk about the locust and I’m assuming also by insects, things like grasshoppers and crickets as well.
But again, for more information, do some further research on your own for further details on that because again, I insects are not something that’s ever seemed tasty to me. So, I haven’t really went after that.
The other reiteration comes from Deuteronomy 14:19.
Now this is some of the major things that guide us in our eating and things like that which is kosher or fit or proper to eat.
Another thing that comes about as far as eating goes is that which dies of itself that you don’t actually kill or another human being kills. This comes from Deuteronomy 14:21.
Do not eat whatever dies of itself. Give it to the stranger who is within your gates to eat it or sell it to a foreigner. For you are a set apart people to Yahweh your Elohim. Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
Now that last part about cooking a young goat in its mother’s milk, we already went over that. So you missed it. Rewind for a little bit.
But here it says, “Do not eat whatever dies of itself.” If you’re walking through the woods, walking down the road, and you see something that’s just laying there dead, number one, you don’t know what it died of. It could be a disease that could harm you. So, you don’t want to eat that. It could have been laying there for a long time. So, you don’t want to eat that cuz the meat probably already is starting to be rotten.
So, if it dies of itself and you don’t know why or how it died, it’s not good to eat that. It’s not fit. It’s not proper. It’s not kosher to eat that.
The basic regulation here is that you have to kill it yourself or another human being has to kill it in order for it to be fit and proper and kosher.
Before Sinai
Now, a lot of people, this again coming from the mainstream churchianity tradition that I did from like Baptist, always said that these regulations, these Torah commandments and instructions and things like that only came about at Sinai with Moses and the Jews and things like that.
But that’s not really true. We see evidence of the Torah long before Mount Sinai, long before the giving of the Ten Commandments, including the regulations or instructions on eating.
One really good example that we get of that is from the story of Noah and we look in Genesis 7:2-3.
Of all the clean beasts, take with you seven pairs, a male and his female, and of the beasts that are unclean, two, a male and his female, and of birds of the heavens, seven pairs, male and female, to keep offspring alive on the face of all the earth.
Genesis 7:8-9.
Of the clean beasts and of the beasts that are unclean and of birds and of all that creep on the earth. Two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male and female, as Elohim had commanded Noah.
And finally, in Genesis 8:20-22, and Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. And Yahweh smelled a soothing fragrance. And Yahweh said in his heart, “Never again shall I curse the ground because of man, although the inclination of man’s heart is evil from his youth, and never again strike all living creatures as I have done, as long as the earth remains, seed time and harvest and cold and heat and summer and winter and day and night shall not cease.”
So here long before Sinai with the story of Noah and his family and the flood and the ark they knew about clean and unclean animals.
Now a case can be made I agree that before Noah they were all vegetarian. I get it there there is scripture there that can be interpreted that way. I do not hold that particular interpretation but I can see how it can be a case can be made. That’s a different subject for another time.
But let it be known that the dietary regulations, even if it only pertained to the sacrifices, were in place long before Sinai. And here we can see that Noah and his family knew the difference and knew the distinctions between clean and unclean.
So it’s obvious that if you say anything else, you can have to say it that at least part of the Torah we have evidence for before Sinai. Even though there’s a lot more evidence than just the dietary regulations, that’s another discussion that we might have.
Torah and the dietary instructions were around long before Sinai. Sinai did not introduce the concept of clean and unclean animals. That was already in place. And it’s my assertion that it was there ever since the beginning or the creation of earth.
Instead, what Sinai did is it actually formalized an already existing custom or distinction between clean and unclean and the dietary regulations.
And a lot of what happened once they got out of Egypt and they started going through the Red Sea, they started going through the wilderness. They were at Sinai. A lot of what they did was reteaching the people what they had forgotten and trying to get rid of all the bad habits they had picked up in Egypt.
Think about how they were taught the Sabbath through the manna. They were told to collect two portions or a double portion on the sixth day because there would not be anything on the seventh day, the Sabbath. They were retaught the Sabbath and various other things.
So, Sinai when it was all written down or written in stone, it was just a what do you call it? A re-emphasis of that which already existed, including things like the dietary instructions and the distinction between clean and unclean.
Dietary Distortions
We’ve looked at some terms, got nerdy with some of the definitions. We looked at what scripture guides us on as far as what to eat, what not to eat. We’ve looked at some evidence of the dietary instructions before Sinai.
Now, let’s look at some myths and misunderstandings about eating kosher or eating according to scripture.
First of all, this is something I just dealt with not too long ago, actually. The myth that gelatin comes from pigs and therefore if you’re someone like us who doesn’t eat unclean things that we should not be eating gelatin or jell-o and that is a myth it is not true coming from there we go wikipedia.org Gelatin in American English is a translucent, colorless, flavorless food ingredient commonly derived from collagen taken from animal body parts. Gelatin is a collection of peptides and proteins produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen extracted from the skin, bones, and connective tissues of animals such as domesticated cattle, chickens, pigs, and fish.
So, gelatin comes from various sources. It is not just pigs. It can be from bovine, cattle, can be from fish, and as far as I understand, can even be made from vegetables as well. But yeah, gelatin can come from a variety of sources.
And I’ll show you a good example of how to vet the Jell-O or gelatin that you’re buying here a little bit later on. Kosher gelatin does exist and it is widely used. I’ve got it in my house right now. I’ve got sitting right beside me. I’ll show you an example of that coming up a little bit later on.
The second myth or distortion that we’re going to look at tonight is that kosher means that it was blessed by a rabbi. Well, that’s not true. Coming from Judaism 101, quote, “Contrary to popular misconception, rabbis or other religious officials do not bless food to make it kosher. Food can be kosher without a rabbi or priest ever becoming involved with it. End quote.
And we’ve already seen this after we went over the definition of what kosher is. If it’s fit and proper according to scripture, it’s kosher. No blessing from anyone is required. This is not Catholicism. This is not the instructions or opinion of a pope. This is the guidelines from scripture. That’s what makes food kosher. Not a rabbi, not a pope, not a priest, not a preacher. It’s scripture that makes it kosher.
Food is not made kosher by a blessing, whether it be, like I said, a pope, a rabbi, a preacher, priest, whatever. Food can only be made kosher, fit and proper, by scripture.
Kosher depends on the ingredients. So if you’ve got nine parts beef and one part pork, it is unkosher. It’s got to be completely kosher ingredients for it to be kosher. It’s not dependent on any blessing.
A rabbi or certifying agency verifies compliance. They do not make it kosher. They do not sanctify it, transubstantiate it, or otherwise magically change the food into something that is then proper and fit. No. Scripture said a long time ago what is fit and proper to eat and what is not fit and proper to eat.
Another myth or distortion about the food or what we should eat is that kosher food is Jewish food and it’s part of that Jewish law. I’m sure a lot of you have heard that before as well. I know I have a lot over the years.
Kosher refers to dietary instructions, not necessarily cuisine. Kosher food is defined by Yahweh for everyone, including the tribe of Judah, amongst many others. So, it’s not just the tribe of Judah. It’s not just the southern kingdom of Judah. And it’s not just the religion of Judaism. Kosher food is defined and laid out by Yahweh for everyone.
The Torah is never referred to in the Bible as the Jewish law. It’s always referred to as the word or the law of God, law of Yahweh or the law of Moses even sometimes but it’s never referred to as the Jewish law. That phrase is actually post-biblical and it actually reflects later historical and cultural developments including racism to some degree. It’s not a scriptural term.
When scripture talks about the Torah and by extension the kosher instructions, the emphasis is always on divine origin, divine authority, covenant relationship, and obedience. It’s not on ethnic or tribal ownership.
The term Jew or Jewish is never used adjectivally as an adjective in scripture to label the Torah, the commandments, or the kosher instructions.
So when someone says that kosher or eating kosher is that Jewish thing to do or it’s part of that Jewish law, that automatically tells you right there that they probably don’t ever open their Bible, much less read and study it.
So yeah, that’s a common very common myth and distortion about the dietary instructions from scripture.
Next one, kosher food is healthier or cleaner by default. Okay, that’s a myth as well because it’s can be true sometimes in practice but not really in actual life in the actual definition.
Kosher instructions are primarily about obedience and for our own benefit and only secondarily about nutrition. Kosher soda, candy, and junk food exist in abundance. Go to the store, you can find all sorts of junk food that is actually kosher. So it doesn’t necessarily mean it is healthy just because it is kosher and gluttony, obesity, etc. can still occur even with kosher food.
Just because it’s kosher doesn’t mean you won’t get fat. Just because it’s kosher doesn’t mean you won’t be a glutton. No. Even with kosher food, which is fit and proper to eat, you still have to go in moderation just like with alcohol.
So just because it’s kosher doesn’t mean it’s healthier. It all depends on how you apply it to your life. When you eat it, how you prepare it, etc., etc. You don’t want to eat a kosher animal that died on its own, right? Because then it wouldn’t be kosher anyway. So it’s it’s all in context as to whether or not the kosher food is healthy or not.
Another distortion or myth is that kosher laws were invented later on in history by rabbis. All right, this is a myth because the kosher instructions were in place thousands of years before the rabbis or the Pharisees ever came on the scene, much less came up with their whole tradition of quote unquote the oral law.
The kosher instructions were given by Yahweh in scripture, not by man. And they were given long before the advent of rabbis and long before the inception of the religion of Judaism.
Clean and unclean categories predate Sinai. As we’ve already seen, rabbinic law systematized and greatly expanded upon those instructions that were already in place from scripture, but they were not invented by the rabbis. In fact, they went way too far with some of the expansions they did, but that’s another discussion for another time.
The claim of invention by rabbis is historically unsustainable and it is completely inaccurate and anyone who says that kosher laws were invented by rabbis doesn’t know their history. They don’t know the kosher instructions. So again they need to they need to study and research and educate themselves just like the rest of us do.
But so that’s a lot of the myths and traditions that came along and are existing due a lot in large part to ignorance.
But there’s a lot of teachings that get perpetuated within mainstream churchianity nowadays that you’ve heard time and time again. And I think it’s only fit and proper to go over some of these in such a teaching such as this because this is all about the guidelines and the instructions on how we should eat and that applies to the question at hand. What would Jesus eat?
Tradition Tainted Teachings
So now let’s go over some tainted teachings due to tradition that we find and this comes most commonly from mainstream churchianity that I have experienced with.
Number one, we look at Genesis chapter 9 verse 3 once again and that says, “Every creeping creature that lives is food for you. I have given you all as I gave the green plants.”
Now, this is an argument and a verse that I don’t hear a lot and in fact is extremely rare. Most of the arguments or the tradition tainted teachings about the dietary guidelines come from the Brit Chadasha or the aka New Testament. However, this does come up in rare instances.
So, let’s address this and start out with something that’s of this caliber. Anyways, this verse comes well after the clean and unclean distinction is already established. It is my belief, like I said, that the distinction comes from the very beginning, from the creation. But we know that before the flood, Noah already knew about the distinction between clean and unclean. That’s why Yahweh didn’t go into great detail when he told him to take this many of clean animals and this many of unclean animals when he told him to bring them on the ark. Noah already knew that.
So, the distinction was already well established at this point in the game. Scripture never states that unclean animals became clean at this point. Maybe some other time that we’ll go over here. But at this point in Genesis 9:3, it never states that unclean animals became clean.
The example that we get from the rest of Torah and the Tanakh is that the people of Yahweh understood this verse in context of clean and unclean, not culinary anarchy.
So even the rest of the Torah, the rest of the Tanakh, the people understood this verse and the rest of the verses as stating, “These animals are fit and proper to eat. Those are clean. And these animals are not fit and improper to eat. Those are unclean. Those are abominations.” So they didn’t take this verse as giving free-for-all permission to eat whatever he wanted.
And finally, this verse again operates within existing categories and distinctions. It’s not against them, and it’s not adding to what is already established.
Another tradition tainted teaching. This comes from Acts 10:9-16. And this is something that came up just the other day because someone at my one of one of my children’s schools brought it up. All my children eat kosher and they bring it up in school and stuff like that too and they they’re all all the time asking you know is this have pork in it and etc etc and that’s probably the context which came up but it came up with my son and so now I am happy to explain this for him who is watching in the other room this comes from Acts 10:9-16.
And on the next day as they were on their way and approaching the city Peter went up on the housetop to pray about the sixth hour, and he became hungry and wished to eat. But while they were preparing, he fell into a trance, and he saw the heaven opened, and a certain vessel like a great sheet bound at the four corners descending to him, and let down to the earth, in which were all kinds of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping creatures, and the birds of the heaven.
And a voice came to him, “Rise up, Peter, slay and eat.” But Peter said, “Not at all, master, because I have never eaten whatever is common or unclean.” And a voice came to him again the second time. “What Elohim has cleansed, you do not consider common.” And this took place three times, and the vessel was taken back to the heaven.
Now, some things to point out real quick. This the setup. He was waiting and he went up on the top of a house to pray and he was hungry and he wanted to eat but he was praying and whatnot. Well, anyways, he fell into a trance and he had a vision. So, that’s the setup.
Oh, also one more part. It says down here at the near the end of this particular passage that Peter said, “Not at all, master, because I have never eaten whatever is common or unclean.” This particular part of scripture, from what I understand, took place about 10 years after the death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Yeshua.
So, did Peter and the rest of the apostles think that the Torah was done away with on the cross? Doesn’t seem like it. That’s among other evidence as well in the Brit Chadasha. But as far as food goes, no, he was still eating according to what is fit and proper according to scripture.
So even 10 years after the death, burial and resurrection, the people of Yahweh are still keeping the dietary instructions according to scripture.
Another thing to take note of is that like we said, he fell into a trance and he had a vision. And what is some particular things to note and keep in mind about visions? Well, there are certain things in scripture that are metaphorical or symbolic in meaning and not to be taken literally. These things are things like dreams, visions, parables, etc., etc.
People go astray when they take dreams, visions, or parables literal because that’s not what the scripture is trying to tell us. It’s trying to teach a point.
One of the greatest examples is the parable of Lazarus and the rich man from Yeshua. People take that as literal and therefore they come up with this new doctrine of hell that doesn’t actually exist in scripture. And that’s the main reason that this whole concept of eternal torment was came up with and why people believe it because of that misinterpretation misunderstanding of that parable from Yeshua.
Parables are metaphorical. They’re symbolic. They are to teach a concept. They’re not a literal autobiography documentary of something that actually went on. No, understand exactly what’s going on here.
So, Peter had this vision while he was in a trance. And nowadays, mainstream or people who are in mainstream churchianity think this is giving free-for-all license to have anarchy with what we eat. And it’s not true because that’s not what it is.
In fact, we know what this vision means because Peter goes on to explain what it means not once but twice in scripture. Let’s look at that. Acts 10:25-28.
So we’re still in the exact same chapter. And it came to be that when Peter entered, Cornelius met him. And Peter said to them, “You know that it that a Yehudi man is not allowed to associate with or go to one of another race. But Elohim has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.”
So was the vision he had about food and that we can now eat unclean animals. Not according to Peter. According to Peter, the vision, what it meant was that we should no longer look down upon people of another race who are outside of the people of Yahweh. Instead, we are not to call them common or unclean. We’re to go minister to them, evangelize to them. The great commission, as Yeshua put it, they we’re supposed to go out and evangelize to them and bring them into the fold.
Eat with them, fellowship with them, get them to come to salvation, to come to Yeshua and to be one of the children of Yahweh like we are. It has nothing to do with food.
He goes on to explain it again in Acts 11, the very next chapter, verses 2 through 18. And I’m not going to read that again either, but it’s exact same thing as what he explained it as in Acts chapter 10.

It’s very convenient. Go check it out on godhonesttruth.com or click on the link down below.
Another Torah or I’m sorry tradition tainted teaching comes from 1 Timothy chapter 4:4 and this says because every creature of Elohim is good and none is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.
Now those within mainstream churchianity try to make this out to be a free-for-all permission to eat anything. Again, culinary anarchy.
However, there are certain problems with this particular understanding and just let it be established that this is taking it out of context. If you just take this one particular verse, we’ll do that in just a minute. Take the whole thing into context.
But this verse again, just like the story of Noah that we looked at earlier, this verse comes after the clean and unclean distinction is already well established within scripture. Scripture never states that unclean animals became clean. So when it’s referring to food and talking about all food is clean, well what is described as food in scripture and what is described as not being food in scripture.
And also the verse operates within existing categories not against them just like we saw with the passage from Noah in that story of Noah.
However, like I said, if we just take verse four, maybe in a twisted way, you can make it say that we now have culinary anarchy that we can go by. But when you take it into context, that whole argument, that whole interpretation falls apart.
Let’s look at that in context now. 1 Timothy chapter 4 and this is going to be verses 1-5.
But the spirit distinctly says that in latter times some shall fall away from the belief, paying attention to misleading spirits and teachings of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having been branded on their own conscience, forbidding to marry, saying to abstain from foods which Elohim created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
Because every creature of Elohim is good, and none is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving. For it is set apart by the word of Elohim and prayer.
Once again, things food is not holy and kosher simply because you pray over it. Things are holy and kosher because Yahweh says it’s holy and kosher. I don’t know how many times I’ve got to say that before people actually start getting it.
So, it’s not it’s magical changing of unclean to clean. And in context, if it is saying that, then it goes against scripture. You’re actually being anti-biblical here.
Because if 1 Timothy 4 is teaching against kosher instructions and allowing culinary anarchy, as we’re referring to it in this teaching, then we would also have to conclude that the word of Yahweh according to 1 Timothy 4 is a misleading spirit in verse one. That the word of Yahweh is a teaching of demons in 1 Timothy 4:1, that the word of Yahweh is speaking lies in hypocrisy in verse two, that the word of Yahweh forbids to marry in verse three. And that’s just simply not true.
So, we know that this is not doing away with the Torah. It’s not doing away with the kosher instructions. No, this is actually again reinforcing them.
Now pay attention here. It’s saying that some shall fall away from the belief paying attention to misleading spirits and teachings of demons forbidding to marry saying to abstain from foods. And some people try to twist this and apply this to those of us who keep kosher saying that we are saying to abstain from foods, certain foods. Well, no, we’re not saying that. The word of Yahweh is saying that.
Here in context is not even speaking about the Bible, the word of Yahweh. Again, their whole argument, their whole interpretation falls apart once you take it into context.
Another one comes from Mark 7:18-19. And he said to them, “Are you also without understanding? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside is unable to defile him because it does not enter his heart but his stomach and is eliminated?” Thus purging all the foods.
So again, this is taken and interpreted by a lot of those and I’m speaking from experience, those in mainstream churchianity, then they say that, well, Jesus made all foods clean. And this is one of the passages that they point to.
Well, that’s untrue. Think about what we’ve already learned. That Peter was still keeping kosher instructions according to the guidelines laid out in scripture. He was still keeping that even some 10 years after the death, burial, and resurrection of Yeshua.
Now, this particular passage in Mark is before the death, burial, and resurrection of Yeshua. Peter did not think that Jesus allowed all foods. So, why should we? And he was a lot closer to Yeshua than we are.
Again, just like we saw with the passage in First Timothy, when you take this particular verse in, I’m sorry, this particular set of verses into context, it all falls apart.
Let’s look at Mark 7:1-23. It’s going to be a long passage, so stay with me.
And the Pharisees and some of the scribes assembled to him, having come from Jerusalem, and seeing some of his taught ones eat bread with defiled, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.
For the Pharisees and all the Yehudim do not eat unless they wash their hands thoroughly, holding fast the tradition of the elders. And coming from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions which they have received and hold fast, the washing of cups and utensils and copper vessels and couches.
Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, “Why do your taught ones not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with unwashed hands?”
And he answering said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it has been written, this people respect me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. And in vain they do worship me, teaching as teachings the commands of men, forsaking the command of Elohim, you hold fast the tradition of men.”
And he said to them, “Well, do you set aside the command of Elohim in order to guard your tradition? For Moses said, respect your father and mother, and he who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.”
But you say, if a man says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is corban, that is a gift, you no longer let him do any matter at all for his father or his mother, nullifying the word of Elohim through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such traditions you do.”
And calling the crowd to him, he said to them, “Hear me, everyone, and understand. There is no matter that enters a man from outside which is able to defile him. But it is what comes out of him that defiles the man. If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
And when he went from the crowd into a house, his taught ones asked him concerning the parable. And he said to them, “Are you also without understanding? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside is unable to defile him because it does not enter his heart but his stomach and is eliminated thus purging all the foods.”
And he said, “What comes out of a man that defiles a man? For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil reasonings, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, greedy desires, wickednesses, deceit, indecency, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these wicked matters come from within and defile a man.”
So in context, what’s going on here is that the Pharisees, they were going after Yeshua and his disciples, his taught ones, because they didn’t wash their hands before they ate. And that was a tradition that they had that was part of their kashrut. That was part of their oral law that they had to wash their hands and their utensils and all this other stuff too.
And what Yeshua is coming against is mainly the traditions which they were upholding over top of scripture and secondarily about that subject at hand which is the washing of hands.
So it’s not even about the clean versus unclean food. And that’s what a lot of people don’t understand because they don’t take it into context. They don’t read and study for themselves. They just accept what the preacher says. And a lot of times the preacher is ignorant on these things.
So you’ve got to read and study for yourselves and take different perspectives in and let the Holy Spirit guide you as to what the actual truth and the right interpretation is.
But here in this passage, when you take it into actual context, Yeshua is not making all food clean. And there’s certain translations out there. I forget which ones. I think it might be even be the New International Version as one example, but they add language here. They add to scripture and it actually says Jesus made all foods clean. But you need to compare that with the original because it’s not in the original.
Be careful when you come over stuff like that in certain translations because certain translations do add to scripture. You want to be careful about that. And I should have ah I should have put that up in his teaching but oh well hindsight is always 20/20.
Kosher Codes
Now let’s go forward into history and to modern day and see how we can apply some of this to our own lives nowadays.
Let’s look at some kosher codes and how you can go about keeping kosher or eating that which is fit and proper even today.
Some things to keep in mind is that the dietary instructions, the kosher guidelines in scripture, that which is defined and set forth by Yahweh, not the Jews, not those within Judaism, by Yahweh, those are pertaining to particular animals, not particular taste.
So the kosher guidelines, the kosher instructions are not according to taste. What is at hand is the animal or the flesh that’s prohibited, especially the consumption of the dead flesh, consumption of the carcass.
Because think about this, when you look back in scripture, you see the righteous men of scripture, people like David, Solomon, Abraham, etc., etc., they have and utilize unclean animals all the time. They utilize and have camels. They have and utilize horses like with the chariots and the cavalry and things like that.
So you could you can go out today and touch a pig. You can I got some family members who are still within mainstream churchianity and they raise pigs and me and the children go up and you spend time with them every now and then and we’ll pet the pigs. Will touch the pigs and stuff like that. And that’s perfectly okay according to scripture because it’s not the touching of a living animal that is forbidden. It’s the touching or consumption of the flesh of an unclean animal. That’s what we’re not supposed to do. That’s the abomination part.
Cuz remember, people back then, even though they were eating kosher, they were still riding unclean animals and using unclean animals for gardening and all kinds of stuff, right? As long as you don’t eat it.
So, it’s not about the taste, it’s about the animal and the dead animal in specifically.
So, keeping that in mind, let’s go over some things that take this as my interpretation if you want, but some things that are really good, but you can eat nowadays that are still within kosher guidelines.
Number one, something that we use all the time here at my house and home is turkey pepperoni. And this is something that you’ve got to be really careful about because regular pepperoni a lot of times has a mixture between beef and pork. And some people don’t understand that or know that, which is fine. That’s why we’re doing teachings like this, including this information.
But turkey pepperoni, we use it all the time for the homemade pizzas we make. And it is absolutely wonderful. Like I said, I come from a Baptist or mainstream churchianity background. And I used to eat pork all the time, and I can tell you turkey pepperoni is a lot better than what I remember from the regular pork pepperoni. It’s not nearly as greasy. It’s not nearly as chewy, and it’s a lot healthier for you. Actually, so in this case, yeah, this kosher food is actually healthier.
Also, the breakfast sandwiches or sausage, turkey sausage is really, really good. And well, certain brands are anyways. And I’m not promoting any brand or any particular item. I’m just giving these examples. Again, it’s not about the taste. It’s about the flesh. And when it comes to turkey sausage, that is kosher. It doesn’t come from an unclean animal. It comes from a clean animal. And once again, read the ingredients list and make sure everything in there is kosher. And we’ll give you some a lot easier ways to do that here in just a moment, but you can do it for yourself. You don’t need an authority to decide that for you.
Another type of sausage is those big link sausages. And this is also made from a clean or kosher animal. So therefore, it is kosher to eat. This is something you’ve got to be cautious about here if you decide to go this route is that sometime if you know anything about how they make sausage, they take the ground up minced meat and they put it into a casing to cure and to cook and stuff like that.
When it comes to sausages, especially link sausages, you have to examine the ingredients that it’s made from and make sure it’s not a pork casing that is encompassing or holding together all that turkey or chicken or whatever your kind of sausage it is.
So, read the ingredients. Make sure it’s not a pork casing. This is something I ran into several years ago. They were doing a little kiosk giving out samples like they do at grocery stores and they said, “You want to try this chicken sausage that we’re promoting?” I said, “Yeah, you know, I eat kosher and chicken’s kosher, so I’ll try your chicken sausage.”
And it was actually pretty good. It had some great spices and whatnot, and I liked it. And it was a little bit pricey, but you know, that happens sometimes when you eat kosher. Anyways, I went back to the aisle to get a package of it. I started reading the ingredients and unfortunately I had messed up because the casing they had made that chicken sausage in it was a pork casing.
Again, you’ve got to read the ingredients, but a lot of times if it’s turkey sausage, it’ll generally be a kosher casing, but not always. So, be careful with that.
If you want a really easy way to verify whether or not something is completely throughout kosher, even in the manufacturing process, you can look for kosher certifications. These are little labels that they put on food a lot of times to let you know that has been certified and inspected by some kind of group or association that goes through and checks these things.
And there are dozens upon dozens of kosher certifying organizations. Here are just a few of the symbols you might see. I see that K a lot of times in the grocery store and products that I get. I’ll show you those in just a minute. The U, the Orthodox Union there, that is a this certifies that the food you’re buying is completely kosher. Not just what you’re going to eat, but also in the manufacturing process as well.
And there are links that we provided in the notes that you can go and check out a whole bunch of other kosher certifying organizations and the things they do and look for their particular labels and their particular symbols that you’ll find on the products that you buy.
But just for reference to give you some examples here real quick. Number one, again, I’m not promoting a brand or a specific product, but you can see here if I get the camera right there, you got this pasta is certified kosher because it’s got that OU stamp on it.
Here’s something we talked about early on, right? And this is Jello. Now, if you’ll look here, you’ve got that certification right there, that K. That means it is kosher. That means it’s made from a gelatin that comes from something other than swine. And this is something I would definitely recommend that you look for the certification on as gelatin does a lot of times or has traditionally come from swine. So, when it comes to gelatin, I would definitely look for the certification, but not for all products. You don’t have to do that for all products.
Um, here is some chips. And if you’ll look here, bad green screen. All right. Right there is a triangle with a K and another D. And that certifies that it’s kosher.
Here is another example here. If you can see it. Come on, focus. There you got the Orthodox Union certification symbol telling you that that product is kosher.
Here is another one there. Right there. There is the star in K telling you that it is kosher certified.
And finally, here is another product that has a different kosher certification symbol. And if you’ll see right there, that is kosher certified as well.
So there’s just some real life examples from my own pantry of kosher codes and how you can tell whether or not something is certified as kosher. It’ll have the kosher certification on it from one of any number of different organizations that certify these things.
And once again, you can go to the notes and click on a link down there in the resources that’ll take you and show you a whole bunch dozens and dozens and dozens of kosher certifying agencies and their particular symbols that you can look for.
Now, in my opinion, and it’s take you do you and you decide for your family, but in my opinion, I don’t think everything has to be kosher certified in order for it to be kosher and for you to be able to eat it.
Going back to those examples I showed you of the pepperoni and of the sausage, both the patties and the links, those examples I showed you were not kosher certified. They did not have the little symbol on it saying it was kosher certified, but it’s still kosher because I’ve looked over those ingredients. Those are products that I actually use and eat and feel comfortable eating even though they’re not kosher certified from some kosher certification agency.
And the reason I feel comfortable eating that and consider that to be kosher and fit and proper to eat is because I’ve looked over all the ingredients. There is nothing in there that is unclean or non-kosher. It’s not certified, but it’s still kosher.
So again, you do you. And a lot of those within Judaism won’t eat anything that’s not specifically certified as kosher. I don’t go that far. I go by scripture, not by Judaism. So, I look at the ingredients and then apply that to what scripture teaches. And if it’s kosher, it’s kosher. If it’s got unclean ingredients in it, like with the pork casing, then I don’t eat it.
The lone exception to that, and again, this is just the way I do things. So you can apply it to yourself or not. Is the one exception is the gelatin. If you looking for a gelatin, make sure it’s got that kosher certification on it so that you know that it’s not coming from an unclean source because traditionally it has. But once again, you do you.
Summary
In summary, the original sin, the very first sin committed by humans and led to the fall of man was not obeying a dietary instruction as given by Yahweh.
Kosher means fit, proper, satisfactory, things like that. While kashrut, pareve, and meat and dairy prohibition refer to rabbinic additions to scripture.
Noah knew about clean and unclean animals. And again, it’s my assertion that even before Noah, they knew about clean and unclean animals and were eating accordingly.
Torah lays out what is to be eaten and what is not to be eaten.
Yeshua did not make all food clean. That is a myth, a tradition. Yeshua did not do away with the dietary instructions.
Peter’s vision was not about food, but rather about the Gentiles coming into the faith.
Dreams, visions, and parables are metaphorical in nature and not literal, and we go astray when we take them as literal. We saw examples with Peter’s vision. We also took the example of Lazarus and the rich man with the parable of Yeshua. And there’s others that we could point to as well. But dreams, visions, and parables are metaphorical or symbolic in nature. They mean to teach something. They’re not to be taken literally.
And finally, eating according to Yahweh’s instructions, kosher, is not about salvation. It’s about obedience, faith, covenantal relationship, and it’s for our own benefit.
So if you’re out there and you’re just now, you know, coming into actual study and reading of scripture and you’re exploring different ideas and different opinions, different interpretations other than your own mainstream churchianity teachings that you’ve been accustomed to, just know that if you eat that which is prohibited by scripture, that doesn’t mean you’re unsaved. It doesn’t mean you lose your salvation. Okay? Salvation doesn’t come from keeping Torah. It doesn’t come from keeping the dietary guidelines, the dietary instructions. We should, I’ll put it that way, we should, but it’s not a salvation issue. And that is just the God honest truth.
So, thank you for joining us for this particular teaching on what Jesus would eat. And by now, hopefully you can understand that Jesus would not eat pork rind. Jesus would not have a ham sandwich. Jesus would not go out and have surf and turf with lobster and shrimp, etc., etc. No, Jesus would eat only that which is proper and fit to eat. Jesus would only eat that which is kosher. And that’s just the God honest truth.
We saw that. We do thank you for joining us for this particular teaching. We hope that answered the question for you that we posed at the beginning. What would Jesus eat?
