gregg;73638]why were some animals good and some not? what caused them to be unclean when god sayed all things were good? when did they not become good?:) just a thought.[/QUOTE] [B]They are good...not good to eat but good for the purpose they were created to accomplish. [/B] [B]They clean the earth...scavengers said:unclean[/I]" doctrine then we too become contaminated. [/B] When Christ cast the demons into the herd of swine they drowned in the sea. The "sea" represents humanity so the swine, false teachers filled with evil spirits, ran headlong into humanity and there they are today!
Christian Commando;73641]Well wait now said:Actually they didn't "drown." I misspoke...but they "perished." The sea is symbolic of masses of humanity. I've never seen it compared to the lake of fire before but....I appreciate your interpretation.
Well I see it as pretty much in the same vein as the others .... Perhaps looking its easier to see this in broader terms. These unclean animal were most often used to clarify the health laws .. all unclean animals are as Whirlwind said scavengers of the earth .. hunt for dead and rotting carcases ect ....therefore were not fit to eat ... The health laws are still in effect just a little differently we are no longer forbidden by law to eat them however they are not healthy and can make you sick. Now that is the physical aspect but if you think about this as spiritual the same applies Unclean spirits will also hunt the spirtualy dead We are no longer held under the Law as Christ fulfilled it.If we partake of spritually unclean things our spirit can become sickbut now rather than make a sacrafice to cover the sin as in the OT days We must turn to Christ he gives us power in his name to cast out demons and unclean spirits ...gregg;73638 said:why were some animals good and some not? what caused them to be unclean when god sayed all things were good? when did they not become good? just a thought.
