Everyone does this

People will copy and they will do what others do. Mankind is like sheep because they will follow ideas and a leader. I know that there is a concept, the bad idea concept is real. I can follow a good idea or a bad idea.

We need to examine the heart and we need to receive wisdom. God has given Israel the Old Testament.
God loves Israel and God loved Israel. Israel wanted to follow the concept of the heathen nations. The heathen nations practices were bad for the soul and the health.

The pagan nations would eat dead animals on the street. There are many diseases in these animals. These nations didn't know the science about the decaying process. So Israel thought it was a good idea.
God knows best, He wanted to protect His country.

God warned the Jews because he was concerned about their health. Also He wanted to used it as a spiritual teaching. They need to understand the ideas of God, the world need to understand the ideas of God.

There is sin and mankind will follow the sinful nature. When someone sins, the sins seem good.
Israel was to different from the nations, they needed to represent God. God plans are the best.
Israel failed to represent God. The good new is this. Jesus came to redeem Israel. The Old Testament law help people, it explains that the Jews and mankind are sinners. Jesus can pardon the whole world.

I can't live by the law but God will help me. When I have Jesus in my heart, then I will receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will guide me, I will live a pure life.

The Jews and mankind need a new soul. The new soul will be in Jesus. The disease meat will destroy the soul so we need the pure meat. The pure meat is the Bible and Jesus. The sin have disgusting insect that spread the destroyer. God will bring the greatest idea and plan. Then a person can experience peace and joy.

Exodus 22:31

  “You are to be my holy people. So do not eat the meat of an animal torn by wild beasts; throw it to the dogs.
