Deuteronomy 14 deals mainly on God's dietary laws to the people of Israel, including which animals are considered pure and impure for consumption. Moreover, the chapter also addresses the importance of separating tithing and presenting it before the Lord.
Leviticus 11:47 - "To differentiate between the unclean and the pure, and between animals that can be eaten and the animals that cannot be eaten." This verse shows that the food laws were given by God to differentiate between pure and impure.
Acts 10:14 - "But Peter answered," Sir, because I have never eaten anything common and filthy. " Peter, a Jew, initially reluctant to eat with the Gentiles, but God instructs him not to call unclean what He has purified.
1 Timothy 4:4-5 - "For 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." This verse shows that all foods are pure, provided they are received with thanksgiving and sanctified by the Word of God.
Malachi 3:10 - "bring all tithes to the treasure house, that there may be maintenance in my house, and then prove me, says the Lord of hosts, if I do not open the windows of heaven, and do not pour out For such a blessing, that he warns you the greatest wealth. " This verse highlights the importance of bringing tithing to the house of the Lord and the promise of abundant blessings in response.
Luke 21:1-4 - "And, looking at him, he saw the rich launch his offers into the treasure ark; and he saw a poor widow also throw two small coins there; and said, Terde, I say unto you that he threw more than all This poor widow; for all those gave what he left; but this, of their poverty, gave all he had for his livelihood. " This verse highlights the importance of sacrifice in our offerings and tithes, regardless of the monetary value, and that God values the sincerity of the heart.
