Yhvh still speaks to us today...

Lev 11:1 And YAHWEH spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,

Lev 11:2 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the living things which you shall eat out of all the animals which are on the earth.

Lev 11:3 Any that divides the hoof and is wholly cloven footed, bringing up the cud, among the living things, you may eat it.

Lev 11:4 Only, you may not eat these, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the hoof: the camel, though it brings up the cud, yet it does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you;

Lev 11:5 and the rock badger, though it brings up the cud, yet it does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you;

Lev 11:6 and the hare, though it brings up the cud, yet it does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you;

Lev 11:7 and the swine, though it divides the hoof and is cloven footed, yet it does not bring up the cud; it is unclean to you.

Lev 11:8 You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall not touch their dead body; they are unclean to you.

Lev 11:9 Of all that are in the waters, you shall eat these; any one that has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the brooks, you may eat them.

Lev 11:10 But any one that does not have fins and scales in the seas, and in the brooks, of any swarming creature of the waters, and of any creature which lives in the waters; they are to be detested by you.

Lev 11:11 Yes, they shall be an abomination to you; you shall not eat of their flesh and you shall shun their dead bodies.

Lev 11:12 Any one that does not have fins and scales in the waters, it shall be an unclean thing to you.

Lev 11:13 And these you shall count unclean among the fowls; they shall not be eaten; they are unclean: the eagle, and the black vulture and the bearded vulture,

Lev 11:14 and the kite, and the falcon, according to its kind;

Lev 11:15 every raven according to its kind;

Lev 11:16 and the ostrich, and the great owl, and the gull, and small hawks, according to its kind;

Lev 11:17 and the little owl, and the Egyptian vulture, and the eared owl;

Lev 11:18 and the barn owl, and the pelican and the owl-vulture;

Lev 11:19 and the stork, the heron according to its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

Lev 11:20 Every flying swarming creature going on all four, it is an abomination to you.

Lev 11:21 Only, this you may eat of any swarming thing which flies, which goes on all four, which has legs above its feet, to leap with them on the earth;

Lev 11:22 these are those you may eat: the locusts according to its kind, and the bald locust according to its kind, and the long horned grasshopper according to its kind, and the short horned grasshopper according to its kind.

Lev 11:23 But every swarming thing which flies, which has four feet, it is unclean to you.

Lev 11:24 And by these you shall be made unclean; any who touches their dead body is unclean until the evening.

Lev 11:25 And anyone who lifts up their dead body shall wash his garments and shall be unclean until the evening;

Lev 11:26 even every living thing which divides the hoof, and is not cloven footed, and does not bring up the cud, they are unclean to you; anyone who touches them shall be unclean.

Lev 11:27 And any going on its paws among all the living things which go on all four, they are unclean to you; anyone who touches their dead body is unclean until the evening;

Lev 11:28 and he who lifts up their dead body shall wash his garments and shall be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you.

Lev 11:29 And these shall be unclean to you among the swarming things which swarm on the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard according to its kind,

Lev 11:30 and the gecko, and the monitor, and the lizard, and the sand lizard, and the barn owl.

Lev 11:31 These are unclean to you among all which swarm; anyone who touches them in their death is unclean until the evening.

Lev 11:32 And anything on which any one of them falls in their death is unclean, whether of any vessel of wood, or garment, or skin, or sack; any vessel in which work is done shall be caused to go into water, and shall be unclean until the evening; then it shall be cleaned.

Lev 11:33 And any earthen vessel into the midst of which any one of them falls, whatever is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it.

Lev 11:34 And of all the food which may be eaten, that on which such water falls shall be unclean, and all drink that may be drunk in any such vessel shall be unclean.

Lev 11:35 And anything on which any part of their dead body falls shall be unclean; an oven or hearth shall be broken down; they are unclean; yes, they are unclean to you.

Lev 11:36 But a fountain or a well, a collection of water, shall be clean; only that touching the dead body is unclean.

Lev 11:37 And when any part of their dead body falls on any sowing seed which is sown, it shall be clean;

Lev 11:38 but when water is put on the seed, and any of its dead body has fallen on it, it shall be unclean to you.

Lev 11:39 And when any of the animals which are food for you dies, he who touches its dead body is unclean until the evening;

Lev 11:40 and he who eats of its dead body shall wash his garments and shall be unclean until the evening; and he who lifts up its dead body shall wash his garments and shall be unclean until the evening.

Lev 11:41 And every swarming thing which swarms on the earth is unclean; it shall not be eaten.

Lev 11:42 Anything going on its belly, and any going on all four, and all having many feet, even every swarming thing that swarms on the earth, you shall not eat them, for they are unclean.

Lev 11:43 You shall not pollute yourselves with any swarming thing which swarms, nor shall you make yourselves unclean with them, so that you should be defiled by them.

Lev 11:44 For I am YAHWEH your Elohim, and you have sanctified yourselves, and you have become holy, for I am holy. And you shall not defile your persons with any swarming thing which creeps on the earth;

Lev 11:45 for I am YAHWEH who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to become your Elohim; and you shall be holy, for I am holy.

Lev 11:46 This is the law of the animals, and of the fowl, and of every living creature which moves in the waters, and every creature which swarms on the earth,

Lev 11:47 to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.

 

eating those things forbidden by YHVH make us polluted, defiled, unclean and an abomination to HIM...

Messiah Yeshua upheld the Torah, not fulfilled it...

He also kept Torah, kept and honored Yhvh's feasts, He kept and honored the laws of kashrut (kosher) and

He also kept and honored the Sabbath...

1Jn 2:6 says...
A person who claims to be continuing in union with him (YESHUA) ought to conduct his or her life the way He (YESHUA) did....

Isa 53:2 For He comes up as a shoot before Him, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no form nor majesty that we should see Him; nor form that we should desire Him.
Isa 53:3 He is despised and abandoned of men, a Man of pains, and acquainted with sickness. And as it were hiding our faces from Him, He being despised, and we did not value Him.
Isa 53:4 Surely He has borne our sicknesses, and He carried our pain; yet we esteemed Him plagued, smitten by Elohim, and afflicted.

YESHUA, THE SON; A LAMB FOR ETERNITY

Rev 5:1 And I saw on the right of the One sitting on the throne a scroll having been written within and on the back, having been sealed with seven seals.

Rev 5:2 And I saw a strong cherub proclaiming with a great voice: Who is worthy to open the scroll, and to loosen its seals?
Rev 5:3 And no one in Heaven was able to open the scroll nor to see it, neither on the earth, nor underneath the earth.
Rev 5:4 And I wept much, because no one worthy was found to open and to read the scroll, nor to see it.
Rev 5:5 And one of the elders said to me: Do not weep. Behold, the Lion being of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, overcame so as to open the scroll, and to loose its seven seals.
Rev 5:6 And I saw, and behold, in the midst of the throne, and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, was a Lamb standing, as having been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of Elohim, having been sent out into all the earth.
Rev 5:7 And He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him sitting on the throne.

Rom 12:5 so we the many are one body in Messiah, and each one members of one another,
Rom 12:6 but having different gifts according to the grace given to us, whether prophecy, according to the proportion of the faith;
Rom 12:7 or the gift of administration in their ministry; or the one teaching, in their doctrine;
Rom 12:8 or the one consoling, in the encouragement; the one giving, with sincerity; the one that rules with diligence; the one showing mercy, with cheerfulness.
Rom 12:9 Let not your love be deceitful, hate that which is evil, hold fast to that which is good,
Rom 12:10 in brotherly love to one another, loving fervently, having gone before one another in honor;
Rom 12:11 in diligence, not slothful, fervent in spirit, serving the Master;
Rom 12:12 in hope, rejoicing; in affliction, enduring; in prayer, steadfastly continuing;
Rom 12:13 imparting to the needs of the saints, pursuing hospitality.
Rom 12:14 Bless those persecuting you; bless, and do not curse.
Rom 12:15 Rejoice with rejoicing ones, and weep with weeping ones;
Rom 12:16 minding the same thing toward one another, mind not vain glory, but associate with those who are humble. Do not become wise within yourselves;
Rom 12:17 returning evil for evil to no one; providing right things before all men.
Rom 12:18 If possible, as far as it depends on you, live in peace with all men;
Rom 12:19 not avenging yourselves, beloved, but giving place to wrath, for it has been written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says YAHWEH. (Deut. 32:35)
Rom 12:20 Then "if your enemy hungers, feed him; if he thirsts, give him drink; for doing this you will heap coals of fire on his head." (Prov. 25:21, 22)
Rom 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome the evil with good.
 
Col 4:2 Steadfastly continue in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving,
Col 4:3 praying together about us also, that Elohim may open to us a door of the Word, to speak the mystery of Messiah, on account of which I also have been bound,
Col 4:4 that I may make it clear, as I ought to speak.
Col 4:5 Live wisely in peace with those who are outside the congregation, and avoid offending.
Col 4:6 Let your word be always with grace, having been seasoned with salt, to know how you ought to answer each one.
