Answer 1

In Acts 10:10-15 (KJV):

10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,

11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.


Here it is in NIV: 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.

11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.

12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air.

13 Then a voice told him, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat."

14 "Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean."

15 The voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."


As you know, in the Old Testament it was like sin to eat of the 'unclean' creatures. However, this changed for even Peter, a Jew, after Jesus Christ came to earth. And not just for him, either. I hope this answers your question.

Answer 2

actually, I prefer not to eat those kinds of meat anyway. I usually stick to chicken, turkey, beef, and fish. However, the passage you're looking for is in Acts 11 (you have to read the whole chapter--it's the story of how Gentiles joined the church.) and Acts 15, which is the decision of the early church not to require non Jews to keep more than the basic moral laws (don't committ adultery, don't worship idols, etc.). that's why I know it's not necessary to keep the kosher laws. but I figure it can't hurt to avoid that meat. God knows what he's doing. and he made those animals as well. Maybe he knows something about what's good for us or not in them as well.

and by the way, the entire Bible has laws for the Christian to follow. all the ritual laws for Jews may not count anymore, but the "old Testament" still has laws like don't murder and don't commit adultery and don't worship other gods. All those laws still apply. Try reading the New International Version. the language in it is easy to understand. and if you get a study version, there are study notes in the margin to help you understand.

Answer 3

That site was kind of a silly place to get your information...LEGO men? common.

Anyway, all of those restrictions were put in place in the first covenant (the which Jewish people follow). Because in the second testiment Jesus came back and made another covenant saying that there are only two commandments that God wants (1) Love God with your whole heart, soul, mind and strength (2) and Love your neighbour. Those were the only things that mattered. But obviously most Jewish people do not believe Jesus was the mesiah, so they do not honour the last covenant. That is why many orthodox or practising Jewish eat by Kosher rules laid out in the first testiment (their Torah). Christians eat whatever we want because Jesus said all those things didn't matter anymore.

Why did God set those dietery rules during the first covenant in the first place? Well assuming you believe God knows all and sees all, he could foresee problems people could have with those foods. We all know that pork and fish can be extremely dangerous if not handled correctly and stored properly...But this is just speculation. No one can actually know the exact reasons behind God's ideas and works because we can only see a bit of the picture, while He sees the Frame and Design in whole.

Answer 4

Here is the scripture you are inquiring of. Especially the last sentence.

Acts 10:9-15, "On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common."

Answer 5

Those rules were laid down for the Jewish people before Chirst was on Earth and as one person said were not meant for all others. The reason that so many of those animals were considered unclean at the time is because of the diseases that some animals have that we now know how to detect (because of science) that would of made a person sick or ill during that time. Are they still considered unclean, that is debatable for some, but as for me, if I know the meat has been processed and the animal raised properly and fed properly ... plus, common sence would rule that even if they were still considered unclean, if my hungry butt was starving and that was all that was left ... guess what ... I'm gonna eat and ask for forgiveness later :)

Answer 6

Hebrews 10
Christ's Sacrifice Once for All
1The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. 2If it could, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. 3But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, 4because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:
"Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;
6with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
7Then I said, 'Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll—
I have come to do your will, O God.' "[a] 8First he said, "Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them" (although the law required them to be made). 9Then he said, "Here I am, I have come to do your will." He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Mark 7:18-19 (New International Version)

18"Are you so dull?" he asked. "Don't you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him 'unclean'?

19For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body." (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods "clean.")

Answer 7

some laws were intended for the covenant community of Israel, not for all people for all time This sort of law is a picture of the Jews being the chosen and should therfore be choosy in their food. It would be a little like someone else trying to wear a wedding ring belonging to another for a different purpose

you can cite Mark where Jesus said all foods were kosher as an example as one.

in Romans it says the law applies as long as you live, but we died with Chirst.

We do follow the spirit of the law, and you can bet there are more important issues in the human heart than if you eat rabbit or how you wash your hands

Answer 8

I am not entirely certain where, but somewhere, either in 1 Peter or 2 Peter, there is an event where God gives Peter a vision in which a sheet is dropped down that contains unclean things, and God tells Peter to eat them, and Peter says but they are not clean, and God says (this is the important part) don't call unclean what I have called clean.

Answer 9

well not all fish in the sea or river but just the ones without scales were unclean,But these laws were only for jews in and not to be kept by the Gentiles

Answer 10

In reguard to your question, abot the food. That law was meant for the Jewish people only. The gentile or christian is not forbiden
this food.
