The Voice of Jacob and The Hands of Esau?

"Now I implore you brothers, watch out for those who cause dissensions and pitfalls contrary to the doctrine you have learned.  Avoid them; for such people do not serve our Lord Christ but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting." Romans 16:17-18

We have all heard the story of the man who preached so well and lived so badly, that when he was in the pulpit everybody wished he would not come out of it, and when he was out it they all wished he would never get back into it.  Paul warns the church of false teaching that does not align with right living.  In Leviticus 11 we are given a list of animals that are either clean or unclean.  Their cleanliness is decided by how they eat and the way they walk.  Lev. 11:3 says, "you may eat any animal with divided hooves and that chews the cud."  We then are told not to eat "the camel, though it chews the cud, it does not have hooves--it is unclean for you.....the pig, though it has divided hooves, does not chew the cud--it is unclean for you."  The hebrew word for chewing the cud is essentially the same word translated "meditation".  "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but you shall meditate therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success." (Joshua 1:8)  As we meditate on the Word and walk it out rightly our way becomes obvious.  Some are like the camel who know the truth but don't walk it out.  Others are like the pig who live moral lives but not to the glory of Jesus and His Word.  What good is it if we have the voice of Jacob and the hands of Esau.  Let the Spirit of God search our hearts for anything that would make us to be false teachers.
