The Holy Diet for God's (Elohim's) People
(Eating Clean)

God (Elohim) provided a diet for both Adam and Noah. When he chose a peculiar people for himself, through Abraham, he also gave them a diet. Each diet given to man by the LORD (Yahweh) always had a restriction. Adam could not eat of the tree in the midst of the garden. Noah could not eat anything with the blood, after the flood. God (Elohim) has also given a restricted diet to his chosen people Israel. He has designated animals clean and unclean. Even before man was given permission to the flesh of animals, the Almighty had made a difference between clean animals and unclean animals. For it is the LORD (Yahweh) who decides clean and unclean, holy and unholy. He has given his holy people a holy diet. The first dietary restriction given to man was broken, because Satan convinced the woman that the diet was not serious. Satan continues until this day to deceive many in thinking that we are too wise to obey a simple diet. This study teaches us the importance of eating foods approved by God (Elohim).

Job 14:4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.

A. Diets established

1. It was the act of eating forbidden food that caused death to pass upon all men. Gen. 1:29-31; Gen. 2:15-17.

2. God (Elohim) establishes diets with restrictions, as it pleases him. Gen. 9:1-4

This diet is very detailed. God specifies what animals are clean and unclean. We are allowed to eat what is considered as clean. - Lev. 11:1-12; Lev. 11:43-47.

B. Satan’s tricks

1. Those who know God’s (Elohim’s) law of clean and unclean, holy and unholy will know the truth about which foods are created to be received as food. 1 Tim. 4:1-5.

2. Men are defiled by their disobedience to God’s (Elohim’s) word and not by the food. It was not the food that caused Adam to sin but his disobedience. Matt. 15:15-20.

3. Every thing that God (Elohim) made was good, but everything is not good for God’s (Elohim’s) people to eat. Gen. 1:31; Gen. 2:17; Gen. 7:1-2; Lev. 10:10; Lev. 11:1-4.
