(Leviticus 11:3) “Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.”
The animals that were clean and unclean were differentiated by the hoof and by the mouth. A perfect example of holiness and unholiness in people today. You could call it Hoof and Mouth disease! There are those who both talk the talk and walk the walk. They are sanctified. They set themselves apart for the Glory of God. You have some that talk the talk but don’t walk the walk and some who walk the walk but let their tongues fail them and do not talk the talk. And then you have some that do neither. We who strive to walk the walk and talk the talk are called to abstain from the other 3 categories! Not from being around them, but from letting them influence us. Our only goal for being around them should be to influence them for the Lord.
(Amos 3:3) “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?”
