as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth
not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. (Leviticus 11:2-4)

Paul
For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be
refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
(1Timothy 4:4,5)

SUMMARY

Man Dietary Instructions

Adam Vegetarian (except the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil)

Noah Everything

Moses Vegetables and clean animals

Paul Everything (and receive it with
thanksgiving)

These instructions are different. God, in his divine
prerogative, gave new revelation to man as time
progressed. Thus, Noah knew information that God
specifically revealed to him that Adam did not know.
Similarly, Moses knew information that God specifically
revealed to him that Adam and Noah did not know. As
time moved forward, God gave new revelation, and it
would be a mistake to assume that people in the past knew
everything that we now know today. As we will see below,
the instructions that apply to us today are the ones given to
Paul.
