I’m not sure you have heard this strange and in my opinion disgusting news that has been circulating that the next big “Superfood” is “Cockroach Milk”! Yes, that’s correct. Apparently, a team of scientists at India’s Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine discovered that cockroach milk might be the greatest superfood of them all.
Excerpt From Fox News:
The Pacific beetle cockroach (the only kind that gives birth to live young) feeds it’s babies by lactating protein-dense crystals, which pack fats, sugars, amino acids, and more than four times the nutrition of cow’s milk. “It’s time-released food,” project lead Subramanian Ramaswamy told The Times of India.“They can be a fantastic protein supplement.” But don’t swap out your smoothie’s almond milk just yet. Despite it’s nutritional value, cockroach milk is extremely high in calories.
Now here’s the problem I have with this alleged new “Superfood.” According to the Word of God, the cockroach is considered to be unclean. ‘And every creeping thing that creeps on the earth shall be an abomination. It shall not be eaten. – Leviticus 11:41
We, as Christians, only strive to maintain the moral law (ten commandments) as we were directed by Christ. The ceremonial law and cleanliness laws just pointed the Old Testament Israelites to Jesus. We are free to eat anything now… “not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth this defiles a man.” Mat 15:11
I agree cockroach milk sounds disgusting….but as there are no longer requirements to maintain Levitical law….feel free to try it.
People r weard
Why defile the temple that Abba has entrusted to us, kosher isn’t Levitical… If it was how did Noah know about clean and unclean…also don’t quote Yeshua out of context, He would never encourage us to eat unclean animals… Yaweh never changes…
I Agee greg. Hooved animals that chew their own cud was acceptable as clean in the Old Testament etc but Jesus Christ dying for us was a permanent solution that seperates the Old Testament from the new. Now everything is deemed clean through prayer otherwise we would still be sacrificing animals, right ? My point of view would be that if you reject the New Testament it would be like rejecting Jesus as the son of God. I would definitely draw a line with cockroaches… Yuck.
And what’s with saying yaweh… Your just confusing people. God is much simpler and everyone knows who your talking about then.
The Levitical priesthood and kosher foods are two separate Torahs/laws, Paul speaks about the old Torah/Levitical system being nailed to the cross and the return of the Melchizedek Priesthood being restored… Even scientists agree that unclean foods are not healthy, now why would Yaweh encourage us to eat unclean animals to put inside our bodies and defile His temple? Disobedience to His ways will always end very badly, that is why the church is so physically sick because they don’t obey His commandments…
We can go to and fro by agreeing and disagreeing. A New testament is like a new contract, with some amendments that clarifies the old conditions on the Old testament. Romans 14: 20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. 1 Corithians 8:8 But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do. Hebrews 13:9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods, which is of no benefit to those who do so.
Do you feel the same about pork? I agree we must follow or try to follow the whole Bible and all of instructions(law).
1 Corinthians 1:10
That last comment is ignorance! Though I WILL NOT be indulging in cockroach milk in the near or far future!!!,,, as God revealed to Peter that when God has made clean is clean! Let’s not set the church and word of God 3,000 years due to legalism ! God does not change but his plans are ever evolving! Get with the program and go eat some bugs!!! SURVIVAL MAN WOULD DO IT!!!?
WHAT God has made clean! Stupid word check!;)
Something to consider for the comments who belief we should follow all law as established in the Bible.
If you believe you are to be keeping levitical cleanliness and ceremonial laws, I hope you don’t have children….the same law (abolished by Christ, but pointing to Him and His holiness), tells you to stone your disobedient children….please don’t….you really don’t have to.
Why all the bickering aren’t we brothers and sisters. Just love one another
