1 Timothy 4:4

‘For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it be received with thanksgiving,’

For the truth is that every creature of God is good. When God created the world He had declared it ‘very good’ (Genesis 1:31). So as long as it is received with thanksgiving as a gift from God, therefore, no creature of God is to be rejected. This certainly does demonstrate that the distinction between flesh as bad and spirit as good is not valid (for all are declared good), but the suggestion that ‘every creature is good’ fits better the idea that distinctions are being made between different types of animals, and that fits better the concept of Levitical distinctions (Leviticua 11). This serves to confirm that what is in mind here is a Jewish kind of heresy.
