True enough. But I could say the same thing about your conjecture that Noah was eating a side of bacon.
Now, let’s look a bit further to get the big picture. “Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs. 4 But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.” (Gen. 9:3,4). Note that Noah is given “every moving thing” as food. No distinction here between clean and unclean. “Every moving thing.” Pigs and cows, sheep and camels. The only “food law” is that it should be completely killed (drained of blood) before eaten.
Really? Everything? He could eat poisonous fish and frogs? He could eat poisonous plants? Of course not. So you're trying to turn this into a verse that says Noah could chow down on anything he pleased doesn't hold water.
But, we are not left to guessing why additional clean animals were taken on the ark. It was not for food, but for sacrifice.
Gen 8:20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
Gen 8:21 The LORD smelled the soothing aroma...
Yeah, okay. The Lord invented animals clean and unclean. He invented man in his own image. He demanded that man only sacrifice clean animals...in essence that God would only accept, ingest, clean animals. And yet man could ingest the unclean. That makes no sense at all. Unless of course you want to cling to the tradition that the bible is wrong and tradition is right.
So, after carefully examining the Bible, we see there is no law given or practice to support the idea of clean and unclean animals as food until the time of the giving of the cultic laws under Moses.
I hope that when you're before the Lord in the resurrection that you don't refer to his laws as "cultic laws". It just sounds like you've got a beef (no pun intended) over what he tells us do to.
This argument is getting more bizarre all the time.
Folks eat rattlesnakes and other poisonous things all the time. The Japanese eat fugu.
You must have something better than this.
What part of God’s Word (“every moving thing”) are you having a hard time with? Don’t you believe God?
Besides, the cultic food law had nothing to do with health. The evidence here is that the stranger in Israel was not bound by the same food laws as the native born. Cf. Lev. 17:10 where the only restriction for the stranger is the matter of blood we saw in Gen. 9:4.
“You shall not eat anything that dies of itself; you may give it to the alien who is within your gates, that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner; for you are a holy people to the Lord your God.” (Deut 14:21)
If the food laws were health oriented, to give something inherently unhealthy to your alien neighbor would be a sin.
