Seperate unclean meat from the clean
Lev 20:25 Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.
It has never been OK to eat unclean meat
In the beginning the Most High had a commandment on what was to be considered as food or meat for people and animals
Gen 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon 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.
This is talking about the man and the woman that he created on the 6th day of creation, that to them it shall be for meat; speaking of the herb bearing seed and the fruit.
Now if you notice in Genesis that herb is being referred to as meat, we are going to draw the understanding for and behind that a little later.
One of the things that we are also going to look into is to get the definition of the word meat, what you find today due to the difference in translation that the word meat has a different meaning through Christian theology.
So when you read in the New Testament and it talks about someone not being able to judge you in meat or someone that consumes meat then make it out to believe that you are condemning them for eating it; they try to make it sound like you can eat anything such as pork, shrimp, crab and lobster.
Those are all things that the Bible deems as being abominable but they try and make it seem that it is ok for you to eat those and it is not.
Gen 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
So as we can see here that even the animals all the beast of the earth and fowl of the air were all consuming the same thing here being referred to as being meat which was herbs.
So at this point in history they are all eating the same herb bearing seed which the Most High created for man, they were all what you would call herbivores because they lived off vegetation but this would all change after the fall of Adam.
Genesis 7, this is during the time of Noah we have to keep in mind that this is long before Moses, this is before Leviticus the 11th chapter and long before the book of Deuteronomy 14 this is before all the scriptures which contain the dietary law.
Gen 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
Gen 7:2 Of every clean beast
of every clean beast as it makes a separation between what is clean and unclean.
Gen 7:2 thou shalt take to thee by sevens,
Why was this? because the clean beast were killed and consumed for food so if Noah decided to himself to eat he would take a sheep or a lamb or a goat to eat it, he would have more available to make more so they can reprocreate.
We are going to see how many animals he kept that were unclean!
Gen 7:2 and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
Once again it shows you that there was a difference made between clean and unclean, so of the beasts that were not clean they were taken by two they were collected in this faction because they were not use for human consumption, they were not used to be eaten.
The common sense behind this is Noah had two pigs one male and the other female so if he was to eat one then the other pig would not be able to reprocreate this is why the Most High told him to take two because these particular beasts will not be used to make food.
Leviticus 11 constitutes what was made clean for human consumption and what is unclean and was not to be used for human consumption.
It also goes into sea creatures that were made for human consumption and also it has creatures that were not made for human consumption that were used to clean the sea bed.
