DID YOU KNOW?

The Creator YaHuWaH instructed His son Israel not to eat swine’s flesh.

Understanding dietary practices is crucial, particularly when considering the Middle Eastern versus Western cultural perspectives. The foods consumed by the ancient Hebrew people, as depicted in scripture, significantly differ from what is deemed acceptable in contemporary Western cultures such as America. Substantial evidence suggests that the original Hebrew ToRaH has undergone significant alterations to align with the agenda of the Roman Catholic Empire, aiming to establish dominance through a universal religion. The prevailing Westernized interpretation of Hebrew culture, found in the Bible, has led to widespread conditioning by tradition. Consequently, people are adhering to beliefs and practices without a comprehensive understanding of their origins.

After extensive and impartial research over 14 years, this information intends to serve as a starting point or stepping stone for those embarking on the journey of truth, guided by reason rather than emotion. We do not profess to possess exhaustive knowledge, but as we dedicate time to YaHuWaH (the Creator's true set-apart name), we anticipate growth and guidance. Always conduct your independent and unbiased research, verifying every assertion made by anyone. Resist the impulse to react emotionally; instead, challenge the Creator's ToRaH by engaging in your own impartial research to uncover the facts. It is acceptable to hold differing opinions, but employing personal opinions or emotions to counter established facts is ultimately futile.

Before delving into the scriptures, it's crucial to grasp the first fundamental fact. This pivotal insight levels the playing field, enabling our rational minds to discern truth from falsehood. Embracing the directive in the Hebrew ToRaH, "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart" (YaRaMiYaHuW 29:13 "Jeremiah"), the facts presented on this website stem from several painstaking and dedicated years of extensive, impartial research. This research includes validation beyond the suggested Christian curriculum and extensive conversations with pastors and individuals with significant religious experience.

The Hebrew ToRaH represents a Hebrew narrative centered around Hebrew culture, not European or Latin. Over time, this story underwent extensive translation by the pagan Roman Catholic Empire, resulting in what the world now recognizes as the Christian New Testament Bible. These translations and alterations were done to align with the Roman narrative and their newly established organized religion, Christianity. The Roman conquerors imposed their decreed pagan ideologies and traditions on diverse races, solidifying their religion as a global superpower. This pervasive, illusory truth effect has effectively deceived the entire world, leading it to embrace a false reality.

That's why dedicating time to engage in impartial study and research of the Bible reveals factual evidence that numerous English words used in the text carry pagan connotations linked to various gods (such as the LORD, God, Christ, Jesus, and glory among others). This alignment is logical considering the polycystic history of the Roman Catholic Empire, which encompassed a diverse range of people. It doesn't require advanced knowledge to comprehend that the translation of words or names from one language to another results in both omissions and additions.

The Scriptures, originally in Hebrew, have undergone translation into English, and in this process, the genuine essence of Hebrew words and names has been lost. This constitutes a violation explicitly cautioned against in the scriptures, specifically in passages like DaBaRiYM 4:2 and 12:32 (Deuteronomy), emphasizing the importance of preserving the integrity of the text. Altering the history of a people not only obscures the truth but introduces falsehoods. Hence, there is a rightful admonition against such actions. It is essential to recognize that residing in America and speaking English does not grant individuals the right to disregard or disrespect the cultural heritage of a Hebraic nation.

Attempting to comprehend Hebraic culture through our conditioned, Christian Westernized mindset often leads many to interpret things based on their own perceptions, guided by what feels right to them (referencing MaShaL 3:5-6, "Proverbs"). Without taking the time to delve into the mindset of ABa YaHuWaH through humility, prayer, and a dedicated study of the pure Hebraic scriptural truth, individuals may inadvertently distort the truth and assert that ALuWaH (referred to as the "Mighty one" in English but translated generically as "God") is co-signing their personal opinions and emotions.

When it comes to the Hebrew ToRaH, aligning one's perspective with the word transforms it from mere opinion to undeniable fact. If YaHuWaH has stated or done something, who are we to challenge it (referencing YaShAYaHuW 55:8-13, "Isaiah")? Disagreements should be grounded in a thorough understanding and explanation of the ToRaH rather than being rooted in personal opinions or emotions, ensuring that we are not at odds with YaHuWaH's word.

The Hebrew ToRaH highlights in MaShaL 4:7 (Proverbs), underscore the importance of seeking understanding first, urging us to invest time in researching both sides of any story. It emphasizes that a lack of interest in understanding characterizes a fool, as they prefer hearing their own opinions echoed by others (as indicated in MaShaL 18:2-3, "Proverb"). The epitome of ignorance lies in rejecting or emotionally responding to information for which one has no knowledge. YaQuWB 1:19-27 (James) provides guidance on avoiding hasty emotional reactions, a principle applicable not only to personal disagreements but also to information that may appear unpopular or contrary to one's individual beliefs.

ToRaH reminds us of the folly of responding to a matter without fully understanding it (referencing MaShaL 18:12-15, "Proverbs"). Opting to assemble a puzzle without all its pieces would be imprudent, as it leads to inaccurate perceptions of the puzzle's true form. Avoid allowing ignorance, jealousy, or pride to jeopardize true understanding by rejecting any information influenced by emotion or inherited traditions from the pagan Roman Catholic/Christian church system passed down through generations. This includes the misguidance of forefathers who were also led astray. As defenders of YaHuWaH’s ToRaH, our responsibility is to share the truth, not enforce belief. Our aim is not for you to adopt our mindset but rather to encourage independent thought.

Everything orchestrated by the Creator, YaHuWaH, is imbued with meaning, purpose, and order. Without this order, chaos and self-centeredness would prevail. Deviating from this divine order endangers our well-being due to disobedience. Some Christians assert that "Christianity is not a list of rules and not about what you can do for God, but what God can do for you." Although that statement feels good emotionally, this perspective does not align with the original, unaltered Hebrew ToRaH of YaHuWaH.

YaHuWaH issued commandments to MuWShaH (Moses) to guide the nation of YiSRAL (Israel), the Creator's true chosen people. Those spreading non-ToRaH beliefs are likely influenced by false teachings and have adopted the fabrications of the "American dream." It is crucial to recognize the stark contrast between Western and Hebrew cultures. Many Christian practices were never part of the original Hebrew culture, and these customs originate from the pagan customs of the Roman Catholic Empire.

word etymology

Upon examination, the historical context of the term "swine" and its cultural significance reveals several interesting points. Firstly, the term "swine" itself is indeed an English word and does not have roots in Hebrew. Pigs and boars held various symbolic and sacred roles in several European polytheistic traditions.

1. Roman Religion: In ancient Rome, pigs were commonly used in sacrifices and held symbolic importance in various rituals. Diana (Artemis in Greek mythology), the goddess of the hunt, was associated with wild animals, including boars, which were often considered sacred to her​ (Oxford Academic)​​ (Explore the Past, Enrich the Future)​.

2. Celtic Tradition: In Celtic mythology, Moccus was a deity associated with swine, venerated by the Lingones tribe. Druids, the priestly class of the Celts, also held boars in high regard, which is reflected in various mythological tales and archaeological finds​ (Wikipedia)​.

3. Norse Mythology: In Norse mythology, the fertility god Freyr rode a boar named Gullinbursti, which had bristles that glowed in the dark. This mythological creature played a significant role in the narratives surrounding Freyr and his divine functions​ (Encyclopedia.com)​.

Those examples and the ones below illustrate the diverse roles that pigs and boars played in different European polytheistic cultures, reflecting their symbolic and religious importance across various traditions. Here's a breakdown of the historical and mythological context:

1. Circe and Transformation into Swine: In Greek mythology, Circe is indeed a sorceress known for transforming Odysseus's men into swine, as recounted in Homer's "Odyssey"​ (Mythology Inquirer)​.

2. Adonis and the Boar: Adonis, a figure in Greek mythology, is connected with the myth of being killed by a boar, which is symbolic of his tragic fate and the theme of life, death, and rebirth​ (Encyclopedia Britannica)​​ (Wikipedia)​.

3. Mars Sylvanus and Black Pigs: Mars Silvanus (a Roman deity associated with forests and fields) is sometimes linked with the sacrifice of pigs, although specific sources directly connecting him to black pig sacrifices are less clear in scholarly texts. More research is needed for precise historical rituals.

4. Demeter and Pigs: Demeter, the Greek goddess of the harvest, has associations with pigs in ancient rituals, particularly during the Thesmophoria, where pigs were sacrificed to symbolize fertility and the earth's regeneration​ (Mythology Inquirer)​​ (Wikipedia)​.

5. Attis, Tammuz, and Adonis: These deities (from various cultures - Attis from Phrygian mythology, Tammuz from Mesopotamian, and Adonis from Greek) share themes of dying and rising, often linked to vegetation cycles. However, their deaths at the hands of pigs are not universally attested in all myths​ (Wikipedia)​.

6. Nuit as a Sky Goddess: Nut (or Nuit) in Egyptian mythology is indeed depicted as a sky goddess, though the association with her consuming her piglets is less common in standard Egyptian mythology texts. Nut is more often depicted swallowing the sun each night and giving birth to it each morning​ (Encyclopedia Britannica)​.

7. Typhon and Boars in Egypt: Typhon, in Egyptian mythology, often represented chaos and was linked with various creatures, but the specific representation of a boar personifying Typhon requires more precise historical evidence. Sacrifices to honor Osiris and Isis during the full moon, involving pigs, are noted but are part of broader ancient Egyptian rituals​ (Encyclopedia Britannica)​​ (Wikipedia)​.

Let’s take a look at the Hebrew word for “pig/swine” which is H2386 KhaZiYaR

LuWiYT 11:7-8 "Leviticus"

7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.

8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.

When guided by selflessness, truth, and obedience to the ToRaH (rather than emotion), adhering to this instruction becomes straightforward. If an animal possesses a divided hoof (unlike a single hoof, as seen in horses) and chews its cud, it is deemed permissible for consumption. Animals like the camel, rock hyrax, and hare exhibit cud-chewing but lack divided hooves; hence, they are considered unclean or unkosher due to having paws instead. Conversely, the swine has a divided hoof but does not chew the cud, rendering it unkosher.

Understanding that pigs or swine serve as intermediate hosts for various parasitic organisms, some of which can lead to tapeworm infestation, sheds light on why the Creator, YaHuWaH, prohibited their consumption. For instance, the Taenia solium worm, growing up to 2.5 meters, is found in poorly cooked pork. The Creator's directive, therefore, aligns with the purpose of these animals not intended for consumption. Recognizing our bodies as temples, it is imperative to avoid polluting them with controllable dietary choices.

In America, our food and nutritional sources have suffered corruption, degradation, and contamination, driven by the pursuit of the American dream (profit) and the motto "In God they trust," linked to the Babylonian, Canaanite, and Assyrian deities associated with fortune and good luck.

YaShAYaHuW 66:16-17 "Isaiah"

16 For by fire and by his sword will YaHuWaH plead with all flesh: and the slain of YaHuWaH shall be many.

17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith YaHuWaH.
 
In verse 16, YaHuWaH will execute judgment upon all people with fire and His sword, and those who are slain by YaHuWaH will be many. Verse 17, says those who sanctify and purify themselves to enter the gardens following one in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and detestable things, will be consumed together. This refers to people practicing abominable rituals, which will lead to their destruction. The text also emphasizes that those who will be slain by YaHuWaH will be numerous, debunking false Christian doctrines such as "once saved always saved," "God gained another angel," and "the Creator is ALL about love." In Hebrew, the term "slain" is H2490 KhaLaL, (meaning: pierced, defiled, profaned (by divorce), fatally wounded).

In verse 17, the mention of those who go to sanctify or purify themselves in the gardens behind a single tree points directly to pagan idol customs. During that time, groves or trees, often associated with deities like Ashera, Astare, or Ishtar, served as pagan places or objects of worship. This explains the repeated instructions by YaHuWaH for YiSRAL to destroy and burn the groves of pagan nations.

Upon the arrival of the true branch of Jesse, in full esteem and triumph, he will discern those practicing unclean physical and spiritual lifestyles. Many will opt to keep the empty, ritualistic, religious, churchy, and pagan customs/traditions of men. However, YaHuWaH affirms that all such individuals "shall be consumed together," underscoring that the word will not go out and return void (YaShAYaHuW 55:10-11, "Isaiah").

"Eating swine is like vacuuming your whole house and car, then taking the vacuum bag and dumping the contents into a pot of chicken broth and making a soup out of it to eat."

Are you familiar with the saying 'You are what you eat'? It highlights the idea that what we consume affects our well-being, for better or worse. To keep our bodies functioning at their best, we need essential vitamins, nutrients, and minerals. From a health standpoint, eating pork may not always be the best choice.

Despite YaHuWaH creating this creature, He expressly prohibited its consumption, implying a purpose behind this directive. Despite being aware of the significant concerns linked to consuming this meat, some Christians persist in doing so. Pigs, being omnivores and scavengers, consume scraps and a variety of substances, including their own and even human carcasses. Renowned for their unclean habits, pigs are considered one of the dirtiest animals.

In ancient times, health concerns related to consuming swine were rooted in the unsanitary conditions of the animals' living environments and their omnivorous, scavenging nature. Pigs were known to consume a variety of substances, including waste and carcasses, contributing to potential health risks. However, in modern times, advancements in farming practices have allowed for more controlled environments and cleaner diets for pigs.

Despite these improvements, the same health issues persist due to the inherent nature of pigs and potential lingering concerns from the past. Factors such as the possibility of disease transmission, the accumulation of toxins, and the nutritional profile of pork remain considerations, indicating that despite advancements in farming practices, caution should still be exercised when consuming swine.

The health concerns associated with pork consumption stem from various factors, and it's important to note that individual responses to different foods can vary. Here are some reasons why pork is considered less favorable from a health standpoint:

1. High Fat Content: Pork, especially certain cuts, can be high in saturated fat, which is associated with an increased risk of heart disease and elevated cholesterol levels. Excessive saturated fat intake is generally discouraged for heart health.

2. Risk of Parasites: Pork may carry parasites such as Trichinella spiralis, which can cause trichinosis if the meat is undercooked or consumed raw. Proper cooking and food safety practices can minimize this risk.

3. Nitrates and Nitrites: Processed pork products, such as bacon and sausages, often contain added nitrates and nitrites. These compounds can form nitrosamines, which have been linked to an increased risk of certain cancers. Choosing nitrate-free options may help mitigate this concern.

4. Inflammatory Compounds: Some studies suggest that compounds found in pork, particularly in processed and cured meats, may contribute to inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation is associated with various health conditions.

5. Salt Content: Processed pork products are often high in salt, which can contribute to high blood pressure and other cardiovascular issues when consumed in excess.

6. Potential Allergens: Pork allergies are rare but can occur. Some individuals may be allergic to specific proteins in pork, leading to adverse reactions.

pathogens, viruses, and bacteria

Pigs can harbor different pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites, that may be transmitted to humans or other animals. Some of the diseases associated with pigs include:

1. Swine Flu (H1N1): Pigs are known to be hosts for influenza viruses, and there have been instances where swine flu has been transmitted from pigs to humans.

2. Salmonella: Pigs can carry Salmonella bacteria, which can cause foodborne illness in humans if pork or pork products are not handled and cooked properly.

3. Brucellosis: This bacterial infection can be transmitted from pigs to humans, causing flu-like symptoms.

4. Trichinosis: This parasitic infection is caused by the roundworm Trichinella spiralis, which can be present in undercooked pork.

5. Leptospirosis: Pigs can carry Leptospira bacteria, and humans may become infected through contact with contaminated urine or tissues.

Pig manure, like manure from other animals, can be used as a fertilizer However, there are certain considerations to keep in mind:

1. Pathogens: Pig manure, like all manure, may contain pathogens such as bacteria and parasites. Composting the manure helps break down these pathogens, reducing the risk of contamination.

2. Toxins: Pigs, like other animals, may carry certain parasites and bacteria that can be present in their feces. Composting is essential to break down these materials and reduce the risk of harmful substances reaching plants.

3. Composting Process: Composting involves allowing the manure to decompose over time with the help of microorganisms. This process generates heat, which is effective in killing pathogens and breaking down toxins. Properly composted pig manure can then be used as a nutrient-rich fertilizer.

4. Regulations: It's essential to follow local regulations and guidelines for using animal manure in gardening. Some areas may have specific recommendations or restrictions to ensure safe and effective use.

5. Timing: Manure should be composted for an adequate period before using it in the garden. This duration allows for the breakdown of potential contaminants and ensures that the composted material is beneficial for plants.

Pigs can carry a variety of viruses, and some of them have the potential to infect humans. One notable example is the H1N1 influenza virus, commonly known as the "swine flu." The H1N1 virus is a type of influenza A virus that is capable of infecting pigs, humans, and other animals.

The H1N1 virus caused a global pandemic in 2009, and it was initially referred to as swine flu because it contained genetic material from influenza viruses that commonly circulate in pigs. The virus spread from pigs to humans, and human-to-human transmission also occurred. While most cases were mild, severe illness and fatalities were reported.

Pigs can serve as a reservoir for influenza viruses due to their ability to be infected by both human and avian influenza viruses. This creates an environment where reassortment of genetic material can occur, leading to the emergence of new strains with the potential for human transmission.

This is why YaHuWaH commanded that we are not even to touch their carcass (Leviticus 11:8). 

Pork can potentially carry various parasites that may pose a risk to human health. Some parasites associated with pork include:

1. Trichinella spiralis: This parasite causes trichinellosis, a disease that humans can get by consuming undercooked or raw pork containing larvae of the Trichinella parasite.

2. Taenia solium (Pork Tapeworm): Consumption of undercooked or raw pork infected with the larvae of Taenia solium can lead to a condition called cysticercosis.

3. Toxoplasma gondii: While toxoplasmosis is often associated with cat feces, consumption of undercooked or raw pork has been identified as another potential source of infection with the Toxoplasma parasite.

4. Sarcocystis spp.: Some species of Sarcocystis parasites can infect pigs, and if pork is consumed undercooked or raw, there is a risk of human infection.

Trichinellosis or Trichinosis – this is an infection that humans get from consuming undercooked or uncooked pork meat, which contains the larvae of the trichinella worm. The term "Trichinae" refers to a subfamily of parasitic roundworms (nematodes) belonging to the family Trichinellidae. These worms are commonly known as trichinae or trichina worms. The most well-known species within this subfamily is Trichinella spiralis, which causes the disease trichinellosis in humans.

Trichinella spiralis is a parasitic worm that has a life cycle involving pigs and other mammals, including humans. The life cycle typically starts when infected meat containing encapsulated larvae (cysts) is consumed by a host, often a pig. Once ingested, the larvae are released, mature, and reproduce in the host's intestine. The new larvae then migrate to various tissues, where they encapsulate and form cysts.

Humans can become infected with Trichinella spiralis by consuming undercooked or raw pork that contains these encysted larvae. When infected meat is ingested, the larvae are released in the stomach, and they mature into adults in the small intestine. The newly produced larvae then migrate into the muscles and other tissues, where they form cysts, completing the life cycle.

Trichinellosis can cause a range of symptoms in humans, including muscle pain, fever, swelling, and, in severe cases, more serious complications. Proper cooking of pork and other meats is essential to kill the larvae and prevent trichinellosis.

 Studies have also shown that pigs can serve as carriers for various pathogens, including:

1. Taenia solium tapeworm: Pigs can be infected with the tapeworm Taenia solium, and the larvae (cysticerci) can be present in their muscles. If humans consume undercooked pork containing these larvae, they can develop cysticercosis, a condition caused by the larvae forming cysts in human tissues.

2. Hepatitis E virus (HEV): Pigs are recognized as a reservoir for Hepatitis E virus, and transmission to humans can occur through the consumption of contaminated pork products. Hepatitis E is a viral infection that affects the liver.

3. PRRS (Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome): PRRS is a viral disease that affects pigs and can lead to reproductive failure in pregnant sows and respiratory issues in pigs of various ages.

4. Nipah virus: While pigs can be infected with Nipah virus, the primary reservoir is fruit bats (flying foxes). Transmission to humans can occur indirectly through the consumption of contaminated fruits or directly from contact with infected pigs.

5. Menangle virus: Menangle virus is an alphavirus that can infect pigs, causing reproductive issues. Human infections have been reported, and the virus is thought to be transmitted to humans through contact with infected pigs.

During the era of slavery, enslaved individuals often had to feed their families with less desirable ingredients. They ingeniously transformed discarded scraps into what is now known as soul food. Forced to use the parts of animals that were discarded by their slaveholders, they skillfully prepared dishes like chitterlings (pig intestines), oxtails (from the rear ends of oxen), as well as pigs' tails, pigs' feet, chicken necks, smoked neck bones, hog jowls, and gizzards.

In contemporary times, various components, including smoked neck bones, ham hocks, bacon, fatback, and salt pork, continue to be featured in soul food menus, serving as main dishes or enhancing the flavor of vegetables, dried beans, and peas. The term "soul food," formerly known as "slave food," has been associated with health concerns among the Black community, contributing to adverse effects since the era of slavery. Unfortunately, some individuals, conditioned to view these culinary traditions as delicacies, unknowingly compromise their well-being. It is regrettable that many people of African descent persist in maintaining harmful dietary practices due to a lack of awareness about their authentic Hebrew heritage.

Eating pig's feet, also known as trotters, is a culinary preference, however, it's important to be aware of certain aspects that might be considered less healthy:

1. High in Fat: Pig's feet are relatively high in fat, especially saturated fat. Consuming too much-saturated fat can contribute to health issues like heart disease.

2. Caloric Content: Pig's feet can be calorie-dense due to their fat content. Overconsumption may contribute to weight gain if not part of a balanced diet.

3. Sodium Levels: Many pig's feet recipes involve curing or pickling, which can significantly increase the sodium content. High sodium intake is linked to hypertension and other health problems.

4. Collagen Content: While collagen is beneficial for skin and joint health, the high collagen content in pig's feet might be a concern for those who are already obtaining sufficient collagen from other dietary sources.

5. Processing Methods: The preparation methods, such as deep frying or heavy seasoning, can contribute additional calories, unhealthy fats, and sodium.

6. Cholesterol: Pork products, including pig's feet, contain cholesterol. Individuals with concerns about cholesterol levels may need to monitor their intake.

   Gelatin

   Pig feet are often cooked in ways that result in a sticky texture due to the collagen content in the skin and connective tissues. Collagen is a protein that, when cooked slowly, breaks down into gelatin. Gelatin contributes to a sticky or gel-like consistency, giving pig's feet a rich and thick texture. This stickiness is commonly associated with slow-cooked and braised dishes, where the collagen from the pig's feet transforms into a viscous broth or sauce.

   Gelatin is a widely used ingredient in various foods today due to its unique properties. Derived from collagen, usually obtained from animal sources like pigs or cows, gelatin serves multiple purposes in the food industry. From marshmallows, gummy bears and gummy worms, jello and other gelatin desserts, fruit snacks, candy corn, pudding, frosted cereals, yogurts (some varieties), coated candies like M&M's (check product labels), certain vitamins and supplements (check ingredient lists) all use a form of gelatin.

   1. Confectionery:

      • Gelatin is a key ingredient in gummy candies, marshmallows, fruit snacks, and coated candies, providing a chewy and gummy texture.

   2. Desserts:

      • Gelatin is widely used in desserts such as Jello, puddings, mousses, and gelatin-based cakes. It helps to set and give structure to these treats.

   3. Dairy Products:

      • Some yogurts, sour creams, and certain dairy-based desserts may contain gelatin for thickening and stabilizing purposes.

   4. Coatings and Fillings:

      • Gelatin is used in coatings for candies like candy corn and chocolates. It is also employed in fillings for pastries and pie fillings.

   5. Frostings and Icings:

      • Gelatin is added to frostings and icings to provide stability and improve texture.

   6. Processed Meats:

      • Gelatin may be used in some processed meats, like sausages and luncheon meats, as a binder.

   7. Beverages:

      • Gelatin is sometimes used in the clarification process of certain beverages like juices and wines.

   8. Capsules and Medications:

      • Gelatin capsules are commonly used to encapsulate medications, vitamins, and dietary supplements.

   It's essential to read product labels carefully to determine whether they contain gelatin and, if so, the source of the gelatin. These foods are known as “non-kosher” foods. In order for a meat to be kosher, it must first come from a kosher animal. A kosher animal must have split hooves – therefore cows, sheep, goats and deer are all kosher, whereas camels and pigs are not kosher (Leviticus 11).

Pigs, native to Eurasia and North Africa, were not originally present in the Americas. They were introduced to the "New World" (the Americas) by European explorers and settlers during the period of European colonization. Pigs, along with other domesticated animals, were brought by European ships as part of the Columbian Exchange, a widespread transfer of plants, animals, culture, human populations, and technology between the Americas, Africa, and the Old World (Europe, Asia, and Africa).

The arrival of pigs in the Americas had a significant impact on the environment and the cultures of indigenous peoples (Native Americans). Domesticated pigs could adapt well to various climates and reproduce quickly, leading to feral populations in some regions. The introduction of these animals also influenced the dietary practices of indigenous populations and contributed to changes in the ecosystems of the Americas.

Through the forced displacements of tribal nations from their ancestral lands to reservations with conditions resembling concentration camps, and the introduction of processed foods as substitutes for traditional diets, agriculture and ranching have seen a significant decline in Native American practices. During the era of American slavery, the enslaved individuals' daily meals were so substandard that they eagerly anticipated occasions when pork was provided. Faced with extreme hunger, they consumed every part of the pig, including the intestines, now known as chitterlings or chitlins, which were contaminated with feces. Malcolm X, in his journey towards self-awareness, notably took the step of abstaining from pork consumption (refer to The Autobiography of Malcolm X).

While we do not assert that consuming swine in ignorance severs one's connection with the Creator, once an individual becomes aware that YaHuWaH prohibits the consumption of this animal and still consciously chooses to do so, it reveals their true intent. Recognizing the emotional process and attachments involved, stemming from conditioning, we acknowledge that breaking these patterns takes time. Nevertheless, everyone is accountable to YaHuWaH for their actions (Proverbs 21:2). The decision to refrain from eating swine signifies spiritual maturity, and individuals must be prepared to face the consequences, particularly in terms of potential health issues later in life. Ultimately, this choice is not solely about personal desires, as individuals are free to nourish their bodies as they wish, but they should also be ready to bear the outcomes of their decisions.

If the struggle to relinquish something that YaHuWaH clearly prohibits for His QaDaSh people is genuine, it may signify a deeper issue. YaHuWaH's ToRaH serves as the ultimate lie detector, revealing the true LaBaB (H3824 heart/mind). If someone claims to love the Creator, but their actions or fruits demonstrate significant difficulty in obeying YaHuWaH, the underlying issue lies with that individual and their priorities. It prompts reflection on what holds greater importance to them. The emphasis placed on giving up food that 1) was never intended for consumption and 2) has abundant evidence highlighting its detrimental effects on the body raises questions about individual priorities.

Shrimp, catfish, lobster, etc. (bottom feeders) are often referred to as the roaches of the sea, specifically designed by YaHuWaH to clean the trash on the earth or sea floor (carcasses, feces, etc). Praying for these types of foods, despite their detrimental effects on the body, doesn't transform them into a beneficial source for our temple health. If mankind adhered to YaHuWaH's original intent for how animals should be used, they would be consumed or utilized appropriately without harm to mankind. Every creature YaHuWaH made for man's nourishment serves that purpose, and animals deemed unsuitable for consumption are also perfect for the purpose YaHuWaH intended.

We are meant to express gratitude and thanks (YaDaH) to YaHuWaH for the food essential to sustain human life. Ultimately, it boils down to one's loyalty and obedience. YaHuWaH's ToRaH/commands are perfect; the issue lies in people being misguided by pastors, driven by their own selfish righteousness (often due to emotional attachments to certain foods), or revealing their true intent to consume whatever they desire (YaShAYaHuW 64:4-7 "Isaiah"). While individuals often claim it's all about their heart, the Hebrew ToRaH reminds us that not only is the heart wicked, but it is also the most deceitful aspect of our being (YaRaMiYaHuW 17:9 "Jeremiah").

What’s in a pork hotdog?

What’s in a kosher all beef hotdog?

Simply put, the pig/swine was never created by YaHuWaH for consumption. According to the Hebrew ToRaH, specifically in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14, there are dietary laws that outline which animals are considered clean or unclean for consumption. Pork, among other animals like certain seafood and scavengers, is classified as unclean and is prohibited for consumption. These laws are part of the dietary guidelines provided in the Hebrew ToRaH for YaHuWaH’s chosen people, the Israelites.

In Western culture, the nation was founded on Christianity rather than the Creator's ToRaH. Many Christians argue that it’s not about the rules from the Old Testament but rather what God can do for you. However, all man-made religions are designed to instill specific beliefs, which can sometimes lead people to be bound by various untruths. Many man-made religions share common elements:

1. Structured Beliefs: They often provide a framework of beliefs and doctrines intended to explain the nature of existence, the divine, and human purpose. This structure helps to unify followers around shared values and principles.

2. Rituals and Practices: They include rituals, ceremonies, and practices that reinforce the religion's teachings and foster a sense of community. These practices often serve to bind individuals to the religion and its norms.

3. Moral Codes: They prescribe moral and ethical guidelines that dictate how followers should behave, both in their personal lives and in relation to others. These codes are intended to maintain order and promote social cohesion.

4. Sacred Texts and Symbols: They utilize sacred texts and symbols to convey their teachings and values. These texts and symbols serve as a source of authority and a means of connecting with the divine.

5. Authority Figures: They often have leaders or authority figures who alone interpret teachings, guide followers, and administer rituals. These leaders play a crucial role in maintaining the religion's structure and ensuring adherence to its doctrines.

6. Promised Benefits: Many religions offer promises of rewards, such as spiritual enlightenment, salvation, or an afterlife, as incentives for adherence and devotion.

Religions can emotionally imprison people:

Religions, by design or effect, can create frameworks that some perceive as emotionally restrictive. This can happen in several ways:

• Conditional Acceptance: Followers may feel that their worth or salvation is contingent upon strict adherence to religious doctrines and practices, leading to a sense of emotional dependence on approval from the religion and its leaders.

• Fear and Guilt: Religious teachings often include concepts of sin, punishment, or divine displeasure, which can induce fear and guilt. This emotional response can compel individuals to conform to religious norms to avoid negative outcomes.

• Social Pressure: Adherence to religious norms can be enforced through social pressure, creating a sense of obligation and limiting personal freedom. Followers might feel compelled to conform to avoid ostracism or judgment from their community.

• Restrictive Norms: Some religions impose restrictive norms that limit personal expression and freedom. These norms can affect various aspects of life, including personal choices, relationships, and self-identity.

In summary, while religions provide frameworks for meaning, community, and moral guidance, they can also create environments where individuals feel constrained by emotional, social, or doctrinal pressures.

When individuals are presented with YaHuWaH's ToRaH, the Creator anticipates that they will promptly embrace a transformed way of life. Genuine love for the Creator motivates people to diligently scrutinize His commands, verifying them against any conflicting words offered by others. Instead of making excuses that align with personal lifestyles and Christian New Testament interpretations, those who truly love the Creator prioritize aligning with His divine guidance and not those whose words contradict the established foundation.

 BaT DaBaR 7:14 “2 Chronicles” Hebrew ToRaH

14 When my people, who bear MY NAME humble themselves, pray, and seek my favor and TURN from their evil ways; I will hear in my heavenly abode, and FORGIVE their sins, and will heal their land.

 MaKhiYaH 6:8 “Micah”

8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth YaHuWaH require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy ALuWaH?

ZaMaR 119:10-11 “Psalm”

10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.

11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
