Versículos relacionados com Leviticus, 7:
Leviticus 7 addresses the laws regarding the sacrifices of peace and how the meat of these animals should be consumed. Following are five verses related to the topics addressed in this chapter, in order of proximity to the issues dealt with:
Deuteronomy 12:20-21: "When the Lord, your God, expand your territory, as you promised you, and you said, I will eat flesh, because I have a desire for flesh, according to your desire, you can eat flesh, according to Your soul desire. If the place that the Lord, your God, choose to make your name far from you, then thou shalt kill your cattle and your flock that the Lord has given you, as you have commanded you, and eat inside From your doors, according to your desire and according to your soul. "
Acts 15:29: "May you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from the blood, and the suffocated flesh, and the prostitution; and of these things you do well to keep you.
1 Corinthians 10:25-26: "Start all that is sold in the butcher shop, without asking, because of conscience. For the Lord is the earth and its fullness."
1 Timothy 4:3-5: "To prohibit marriage, and order the abstinence of foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and as many as they fully know the truth. Because every creature of God is good, and There is nothing to reject, being received with thanksgiving. For by the Word of God and prayer is sanctified. "
Romans 14:6-7: "He who makes a case of the day, for the Lord he does it; and who does not make the day of the day, for the Lord not to do. And who does not eat, for the Lord not to eat, and give thanks to God. "
These verses deal with topics related to meat consumption and its origin, as well as the freedom Christians have about it. While Deuteronomy 12:20-21 deals with God's permission to eat flesh within their own doors, Acts 15:29 instructs Christians to abstain from suffocated flesh and offered to idols. 1 Corinthians 10:25-26 and 1 Timothy 4:3-5 indicate that every creature of God is good for consumption and that God's Word and prayer can sanctify food. Finally, Romans 14:6-7 indicates that what matters is the attitude of gratitude to God, regardless of whether or not to eat flesh.
