Did God Ever Call Unclean Meats “Clean”?
A new documentary-style study exploring Biblical dietary laws, holiness, health, stewardship, and why Scripture still distinguishes between clean and unclean in the last days.
For thousands of years, Scripture distinguished between clean and unclean.
Yet today, many Christians have been taught that these distinctions no longer matter at all.
But did God ever truly call unclean meats “clean”? Or did Christ and the apostles actually deepen the meaning of holiness rather than abolish it?
This new documentary-style study examines:
• clean and unclean throughout Scripture
• Christ’s teaching on inward and outward defilement
• Paul and meats offered to idols
• holiness, stewardship, and health
• “come out from among them and be separate”
• the law written upon the heart
• and why Revelation and Isaiah still discuss uncleanness in end-time prophecy
This is NOT a teaching about salvation through food laws.
Rather, it is a deeper Biblical examination of holiness, wisdom, stewardship, conscience, and whether modern Christianity may have misunderstood some important foundations of Scripture.

Whether one ultimately agrees or disagrees, this topic deserves far deeper study than it usually receives in modern Christianity.

CLOSING QUESTION:
Do you believe modern Christianity has misunderstood the Biblical distinction between holy and unclean — and if so, where do you believe the misunderstanding began?
One of the more interesting studies I’ve worked on recently.
Not really about “legalism” or condemning people’s diets, but more about the Biblical themes of holiness, stewardship, discernment, health, and why Scripture still discusses the distinction between clean and unclean all the way into the last days.
Honestly gave me a lot to reflect on.
