This is part 1 of the most comprehensive Biblical examination we’ve ever done on this channel on why followers of Jesus are not required to eat biblically clean or kosher. We're going to dive deep into the Torah and the Gospels and more, tracing the thread of God’s commands about food. And we’re going to use a video by a Hebrew Roots teacher named Monte Judah as the platform from which we’ll launch various excursions into the text of Scripture.
Here in part one, we hear Mr. Judah lay out his case in his own words, examine the significance of blood and how that relates to the clean and unclean categories of food in the Torah, and look at why the food laws were given in the first place. Lastly, we spend a lot of time unpacking Mark 7 and the phrase at the end of verse 19: “thus he declared all foods clean.”
