The book of Ezekiel chronicles the last days of Judea before being sent into exile in Babylon for 70 years. They were sent to Babylon because they kept following the false gods of that nation. God effectively told them, "You want to follow those gods? Fine. Choke on it." The book of Revelation calls believers to "come out of her, my people" which means for each of us who follow Yeshua (aka Jesus) to refuse blending paganism into the faith once delivered.
Many of us have broken from mainstream Christianity because it's a mess with pagan rituals like Sunday, Christmas, and Easter. If you're feeling the pull to separate from the paganism in Christianity, you're not alone. I'd encourage all to learn the truth of your rituals before the Messiah returns. Nobody wants to hear "depart from Me, I never knew you."

Many of the Hebrew words for unclean birds listed in Leviticus 11 are of uncertain meaning. Tradition and translators have made some pretty decent educated guesses, though. In general, you can bet that long-legged wading birds, large flightless birds, and any birds that subsist primarily on prey or carrion are unclean. Some people say that all web-footed birds are unclean, but I don't think the text supports that.
The CSBS crew has been working our way through Paul's letter to the Romans in our Thursday night Bible study. We're taking the month of April off, but we'll resume with Romans 9:8 in May.
In the meantime, you can review my notes on Romans here:

Close call today. I nearly ran over the feared and dreadful Odious Maximus (aka skunk) ?.
If anyone feels led, prayer for our family is appreciated. We thought we had gained our prodigal son back. He's been living with us for a year and 4 months.
We have lost him again. He moved out last week and the circumstances are worse than the first time.
This mama's heart is breaking.
I've been in deep prayer over this. I think the full pain of it didn't really hit till this morning. As I was praying, I realized the pain I feel over our son is nothing compared to the pain Father feels over His wayward children. I never want to cause Father the kind of pain I'm feeling.
I guess if there's an upside to this, it's that it's spurring me on in deeper prayer and it's causing me to reflect on my own life to make sure I am walking in Father's ways and truly loving Him as best I can.
Please pray for me to not allow the adversary to sidetrack me. The accusations run high. I was far from a perfect parent. We both were. But that does not justify the treatment we just received. We will all have to answer for our words and our actions.
I'm so grateful for what Yeshua did for us and that we have that covering. Sadly, two of our sons (including this one) have walked away from that. They've gone their own way and left Father behind. This one is leaving us behind, too. ????
Chicken is kosher, but deadly without refrigeration. God's instructions about which animals are food aren't about refrigeration or physical disease. It's a spiritual thing. Yeshua did not cancel laws about what animals we can eat. #leviticus #shmini #torah #kosher

Malachi 3:14 — 15, “You have said, ‘It is useless to serve God. It did no good to obey his laws. And it did no good to show the Lord of heaven’s armies that we are sorry for what we did. So we say that proud people are happy. Evil people succeed. They challenge God and get away with it.’” When our Creator does something or allows something that doesn’t meet with our approval, we may become angry or disappointed. But who are we to judge our Creator? If He is to be our God and we His people, He is the one who judges us. He is the supreme and we the subjects, we should remember that He is the one who created us to worship and serve Him, He has no need to serve us.
