Dietary Law!!!

Many of our Brothers and Sisters have problems with their health and take on many diseases. This is due to not keeping the Dietary Law of the Most High that he gave unto Israel to keep. In this Law, the Most High told us what not to eat and what to eat, both clean and unclean animals. In the Bible, Leviticus & Deuteronomy it tells us what is clean, and unclean. There are certain beast, fish, birds, and insects that we are commanded by the Most High not to eat. There are clean animals that the Most High created that we can eat and there are unclean animals that the Most High created that we can not eat as stated in Leviticus 11:1-47.

Deuteronomy 14:3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.

Abominable- very bad, poor, or inferior.

Precept to Deuteronomy 14:3:

Dietary Law

FRAGMENTS OF A ZADOKITE WORK (The Damascus Document) 14:12-16 No man shall make himself abominable with any living creature or creeping thing, by eating of them: or of the defilements of bees or of any living creature that moveth in the waters. 

13 Nor shall fish be eaten unless they were split alive and their blood was shed. 

14 But all the locusts after their kind shall come into fire or into water whilst they are still living, for this is the manner of their creation. 

15 And all wood and stones and dust which are polluted by the uncleanness of man are polluted like them.
