Foods Which God Created

"Now the Spirit expressly says that in the latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from FOODS WHICH GOD CREATED to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth." 
(1 Timothy 4:1-3)

"In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, 'Rabbi, eat.' But He said to them, 'I have food to eat of which you do not know.' Therefore the disciples said to one another, 'Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?' Jesus said to them, 'My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.' " 
(John 4:31-34)

Jesus Christ was created in the womb of His mother Mary by the Father. He called Himself the bread of life; the living bread. He is/was meant to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

"As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me." (John 6:57)

Departing from the faith, speaking lies that cause those who listen to fall below that which is critical for eternal life produces hearers, not doers, who are unaware of what it means to make oneself ready for the bridegroom. If they don't hear the truth, how will they do the greater works?
