Why We Teach Genesis 1:29

What if the first command ever given was the one we’ve ignored the most—yet it's the one with the deepest impact on the soul? Discover in detail why Genesis 1:29 isn’t just about food—it’s about divine alignment, soul restoration, and the return to the Creator’s original covenant. This isn’t a dietary trend. It’s a soul-level return to truth, order, and purpose. This is why we teach Genesis 1:29.

Why We Teach Genesis 1:29?

The 'Soul' Reason We're Plant-Based!

Why We Teach Genesis 1:29?

"God never commanded us to eat death. That was man’s choice—not Heaven’s instruction."

🌿 The Missing Ingredient in Most People's Salvation

We were doing all the “right” things.
Church on Sunday. Prayers before meals.
Trying to raise our children in love, discipline, and the reverence of God.

But somewhere between the rituals and the routines,
between the hallelujahs and the holidays,
something sacred had gone missing.

Not from the Bible.
But from our understanding.

There was a quiet contradiction we could no longer ignore.
We were calling ourselves set apart… but eating what God called unclean.
We were praising the Creator… while consuming His creation.

So, we took the first step.
We gave up pork.
We followed the Levitical guidelines—clean meats only, those that chewed the cud and had split hooves.
We believed we were walking in righteousness, finally keeping the biblical dietary laws.

But then something deeper began to stir.

We started watching documentaries about the food industry—its cruelty, deception, and greed.
And it softened something in us.
We no longer saw animals as food. We saw them as lives.

That’s when it happened.

We stumbled into one of the greatest spiritual coverups of all time.
The Levitical dietary laws were not the beginning...
They were a concession.
An inversion.
A system introduced after sin, steeped in blood and death—not life.

We were stunned.
Because what we found next shook every assumption we had built our faith on.

We dug. We prayed. We studied.
And the Holy Spirit led us thread by thread—through the prophets, forgotten texts, and hidden gospel fragments—until the picture became clear:

Genesis 1:29-31 wasn’t just the first command.
It was the original covenant with Man, the Earth, and Animal
The Edenic diet.
The law of life before death entered in.

And the prophets? They weren’t defending Leviticus.
They were warning Israel to return to Genesis.
To return to life.
To stop the bloodshed.
To stop calling sacrifice “holiness” when the Most High never desired it.

“I desire mercy, not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.” —Hosea 6:6

Now we see it.
And once you see it…
You can’t unsee it.

This is why we teach Genesis 1:29.
Not to argue.
Not to trend.
But to restore what was lost, and call others back to what was given before religion, before ritual, before the fall.

This is alignment. This is return. This is truth.

🌳 Eden Before the Fall… and the Real Cause of the Fall

Most were taught the fall of man came from a bite of fruit. But few realize that the deeper cause was a departure from life into death — through murder and the consumption of flesh.

Before the fall, man lived in harmony with creation. No blood was shed. No animals were killed. The divine diet was given in Genesis 1:29, and it contained no death.

So how did we fall so far from Eden? It began with Lucifer’s deception, and then man allowed appetite to overrule instruction. When we killed for food, we invited spiritual decay.

Churches today teach that "the law was done away with," but that was never God’s decree. That came from religious systems designed to serve man’s appetite, not Heaven’s alignment.

Did you know the Bible references two gods?
One who gives life… and one who demands sacrifice.
Over time, what began as a book of divine covenant was hijacked by the dark priesthoods—those who’ve long held power over religious institutions. They carefully edited, redacted, and restructured the original scriptures into a Codex Bible—a system of spiritual control, crafted with just enough truth to respect human free will, yet laced with deception to test the heart and discernment of the reader.

Who Rewrote Our Faith?

The fall wasn’t just about disobedience. It was about rejecting life.

🔒 God’s Law Was Never Cancelled—Just Buried

Religion teaches motivation, not correction. Most churches don’t teach the Bible as a book of instruction, but as a source of feel-good affirmations.

People quote, “Thou shall not kill,” yet feast on death.
They say, “Your body is a temple,” yet pollute it with suffering.

This spiritual disconnection is no accident. The laws of God—including the dietary law of Genesis 1:29—have been hidden in plain sight.

“Think not that I am come to destroy the law... I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” —Matthew 5:17 Yeshua's (Jesus) very words...

Modern churches have become filters, not fountains. They allow just enough truth to pacify, while concealing the truths that require bloodless sacrifice, obedience, and clarity.

🔍 Our Awakening – From Food to Faith

We began this journey by returning to the Levitical dietary laws—cutting out pork, shellfish, and anything the Scriptures deemed unclean. At the time, we believed this was obedience in its fullest form.

But as we continued seeking, we started watching documentaries on the food industry—the hidden cruelty, corruption, and profit-driven deception behind what ends up on most plates. What began as a health shift slowly became a heart shift. We no longer saw meat as “clean” or “unclean”—we saw living beings, suffering in silence for human appetite.

But what came next shocked us:

We found Genesis 1:29 again. And this time, we saw it for what it truly was—law, not poetry.

It was part of the original government of Heaven, meant to protect life, body, and soul. It wasn’t just overlooked—it was buried.

Even more shocking, we discovered that Yeshua (Jesus) was unlived because He taught this truth. He disrupted the religious system, rejected animal sacrifice, and called for a return to Eden.

Majority of the prophets who stood against blood offerings were silenced for the same reason.

🙏🏾 This Is How We Live — Every Day

We began reading Scripture with new eyes—not through tradition, but through truth. Once we started decoding the Codex that religious institutions had turned the Bible into, everything shifted.

We came to realize:
The Bible isn’t just a holy book.
It’s also a spiritual test, designed to reveal the heart of the reader.

There are three levels of law woven into its pages:

  1. The lawless version—what most modern religion clings to in comfort.

  2. The redacted law—Levitical concessions after the fall.

  3. And the original law—the Edenic truth found in Genesis 1:29.

To those who say, “The Bible is too corrupted to trust,” we say:
Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water!
Yes, it’s been tampered with. But it hasn’t been destroyed.

In fact, it’s been rewritten with such spiritual intelligence, it now tests how deeply you’re willing to seek.
Just like two people can look at the same verse—
One sees license to sin, the other sees a path to salvation.
The difference isn’t the verse.
The difference is the heart interpreting it.

It's who's more aligned with Life or Death?

For nearly 10 years, our family has lived fully plant-based—not just for health, but from spiritual conviction.

Each Sabbath, we fast for 24 hours. We reset, reflect, and reconnect. It's not religion—it's reverence.

And yes—we’ve drawn a clear line.
We do not sit at tables where flesh is served.
As firm as that may sound, it’s not rooted in arrogance—it’s rooted in alignment.

This choice isn’t just personal.
It’s our silent protest—a sacred boundary set to display our convictions and invoke thought in a world that’s forgotten how to question what’s on the plate. Because sometimes, silence speaks louder than sermons.

“Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord.” —2 Corinthians 6:17

Even the disciples of Yeshua (Jesus) held to this standard:

Yeshua and His followers understood that the table is spiritual. Sharing flesh is not just about food—it's about agreement.

⚡️ Why We Teach This Boldly

This isn’t about diet trends. It’s not about being "vegan".

It’s about returning to the Creator’s order.

We teach Genesis 1:29 because it restores:

  • 🌿 Health to the body

  • 🙏🏾 Obedience to the soul

  • ✨ Clarity to the mind

  • 🌍 Peace with creation

We teach it because truth has been silenced long enough.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” —Hosea 4:6

Again, this isn’t about modern veganism either. Let’s be clear—many who call themselves vegan are still spiritually disconnected. They may reject meat, but still consume chemically engineered, highly processed foods with no reverence for the body as a temple. Their choices, while outwardly compassionate, are often still rooted in worldly ideologies, identity politics, or trend-driven activism—not divine alignment.

The difference isn’t just what’s on the plate.
It’s why it’s on the plate.
We don’t eat plants just to “do less harm”—we do it to return to covenant, to walk in obedience to the original law of life given in Genesis 1:29.

We don’t follow trends. We follow truth.

🔎 The Remnant: Are You Among the Few?

"The world was made for many, but the world to come for few."2 Esdras 8:1

Let that settle.

There are more than 8 billion people on this planet. Over 2.2 billion identify as Christian or Catholic. Another 1.9 billion follow Islam.

That’s over 4 billion people who claim to worship a higher power.

But the question remains: Who is actually keeping the laws of the Most High? Who is walking in obedience, not just belief?

“Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”Matthew 7:21

“For many are called, but few are chosen.”Matthew 22:14

✅ A concise echo of the idea that out of the billions who hear the call, only a small remnant answer it with their lives.

“There be many more of them which perish, than of them which shall be saved: Like as a wave is greater than a drop.”2 Esdras 9:15-16

✅ One of the most vivid comparisons in scripture. Out of a wave of humanity, only a drop will be preserved.

The truth is—only a remnant will return.

Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.Luke 13:23–24

✅ A direct question to the Messiah — and His answer is sobering: yes, few will be saved.

Shepherd of Hermas (Vision 1, Chapter 3)

“Those who believe sincerely, and walk in the commandments of the Lord… these shall be saved. But they who believe only in words, but not in their works… are dead.”

✅ This early Christian text aligns well with the idea that obedience and sincerity are what separate the remnant from the masses.

They are the ones who will endure persecution, reject deception, and cling to truth. They are not perfect. But they are being perfected. They don’t follow crowds. They follow the cloud.

So we ask with humility and boldness:

Are you among the few? Are you willing to return to what was written before tradition? Will you walk in divine alignment—even if the rest of the world won't?

✨ Final Invitation:

If this stirred something in your spirit, don’t ignore it—follow it.
This message isn’t for everyone.
It’s for the remnant—those who were never meant to blend in with the crowd.
The ones called to remember what the world forgot.
The ones chosen to walk the narrow path, even when difficult.
The remnant are not perfect—but they are awakened, set apart, and hungry for truth, no matter the cost.

“Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.”Romans 11:5

“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction… and few there be that find it.”Matthew 7:13–14

“And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah.”Revelation 12:17

If you're reading this and your heart is burning with conviction or clarity...
you are not alone. You were never meant to be.
You are part of something ancient.
You are the remnant.

🕊️ The Call to Return

Return to the garden—where no blood was shed, and every seed bore life.
Return to divine order—where obedience wasn't a burden, but a blessing.
Return to alignment—where your spirit, body, and purpose move as one under the Creator's design.

This is your invitation to remember what was written before religion,
to walk a path that few choose, but every soul was created for.
