What are the false teachings that Paul mentions in these verses?

Why those false teachings? How do these lead to apostasy?

What is the connection between v. 4-5 and v. 3? See James 1:16-18

According to Paul who created food? Why? How can James 1:16-18 help in our understanding of 1 Timothy 4:3-6?

What does Paul mean by everything created by God is good?

Why does Paul say nothing is to be rejected?

What does Paul mean by “if it is received with thanksgiving”?

Does Paul address these unbiblical teaching in other letters (See Romans 14; 1 Corinthians 7:25-35, 8:1-10:33; Colossians 2:16-23)?

What makes one holy? What you reject? Or what you receive by grace?

Does the Bible command us to pray before we eat? See Matthew 14:19, Mark 8:7, Luke 9:16, See the Lord’s Prayer
