(2) All blood has been drained out. (Lev. 3:17, Acts 15)
(3) All fats removed. (Lev. 3:17)
(4) It was not infected with disease(s) (Deut. 14:21)
(5) Not strangled (killed in inhumane way) (Acts 15, Acts 21:25)
So next time you stand with your meat package dripping in blood, and fat cuttings and pig fillers, wondering if the animal was raised with a vegetarian diet and if the meat is actually what it is labeled as, or how it has been slaughtered, or what hormones and antibiotics are in there, consider this:
(1) Animals now being fed with grounded meat and waste products, as well as various chemicals, can NO longer be considered clean. Combine that with the chance of it being “enhanced” with another meat article like, dog, horse zebra and other things found, how does one know? You may very well be lucky if your meat article can still fall under this category.
(2) Blood is not drained according to regulations. Most assume the blood is cooked out. Not all of it. Some are trapped inside. It takes a special process well known to Jews especially to drain blood. Today your meat package contains blood and fails this requirement.
(3) Fats are sometimes removed before or after, however fats still linger in and around the meat, especially where conditions exists that an improper diet was given, and the animal was constrained, meaning it received very little exercise causing buildup of fats. Many actually never take the effort to take the fat of.
(4) According to latest statistics, diseases in animals increased 10 fold, as resistance to anti-biotics grows weaker, improper diets are given, and incorrect habitations are fostered. The area of disease is getting worse many times with the food agencies lowering passing grades to continue the consumption thereof. This is documented widely on various sources you can look up.
(5) Lastly, if you are to see how animals are treated, as I am sure some of you already have, then it clearly falls far and below the classification of being humane. Consuming meat then supports an industry that has become very cruel to say the least.
So no wonder the pen of inspiration gave us an interesting foresight on the advent people of God when it comes to this article of food:
“Greater reforms should be seen among the people who claim to be looking for the soon appearing of Christ. Health reform is to do among our people a work which it has not yet done. There are those who ought to be awake to the danger of meat eating, who are still eating the flesh of animals, thus endangering the physical, mental, and spiritual health. Many who are now only half converted on the question of meat eating will go from God's people to walk no more with them.” {CD 382.1}
It can be clearly seen how this is possible when you take into account what God requires and what is then allowed. There is nothing left that is not affected. And because of this condition it destroys the reasoning powers of human beings, just as Satan designed this diet to become.
It’s a sin to eat meat in the anti-typical day of atonement…which is where we are living today!
Is eating flesh a sin?
Isaiah 22:12 And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:
22:13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.
22:14 And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
Read Stephen Haskell’s books as he speaks about Isaiah 22 and eating clean meats in the antitypical day of atonement as a sin that will not be purged.
James 4:17, it says "to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin."
Knowledge now is irrefutable, that eating meat TODAY is far more harmful, considering the increase of disease among animals in proportion to the wickedness of man and all the pollution and hormones and vaccines and polluted water.
The same Jesus that ate meat 2000 years ago, is the same Jesus that now UPDATED the prophet of the Lord, Ellen White saying, "It's no longer safe". If Jesus were to come back to this earth today, as a man, He would not partake. It was safe for Him to partake in Bible times.
Not today. Now Jesus UPDATED us through the Lord's prophet.
And if we go against that update, we are going AGAINST knowledge, which becomes a sin to us.
