1 Tim 4:3-5

3 men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.

“men who forbid marriage” and “abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared” – who is it that tells you cannot eat meat on Fridays and forbids marring - the Catholics do – The foundation of the apostasy of the Church was already taking form with subtle changes in Yahweh’s law

4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude;

All that Yahweh created was good – and like I mentioned earlier all things are eatable.

5 for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.

However, we think by praying over our food it is sanctified and rightly so – but we tend to skip over a little phrase before we get to praying and that is “of the word of God” – now we all know that we are to pray according to the word of Yahweh – right – and if we are to pray over our food it should according to Yahweh’s word – right – so when we pray over a ham sandwich are we praying according to Yahweh’s word when He commanded us not to eat pork! - This would be like praying for a successful robbery or blessing an adulteress affair.

We are to pray over what we eat – we know what is acceptable to pray over because we know what was given to for food according to Yahweh’s word.
