Jesus Christ is certainly a shining example as to
how we ought to live. He lived a PERFECT life! Christ did
not do one thing which was wrong. Yet, Christ permitted
demons to enter a herd of swine, causing them to run vio–
lently down a steep place into a lake where they were
drowned (Luke
8:32-34).
Notice, Chr.i.at had a reason for
this action!
The swine were UNCLEAN animals . Christ permitted
UNCLEAN spirits (demons) to enter UNCLEAN animals. Christ
did not permit unclean spirits to enter and defile CLEAN
animals. Christ allowed the demons to enter the swine
because the swine were unfit for human consumption and ought
not to have been sold as "good food"
In
the
market. Jesus
was
~directly
solving the marketing problem of those
Gadarene farmers!
The teaching of the Word of God is clear.
Unclean animals were created for a purpose, but
Nor
FOR FOOD! A farmer should not raise for food hogs,
rabbits, or any other unclean animals.
