@speakthetruth But the N. Testament says all food is now clean if prayed for and received with thanksgiving, but if you can't eat it in faith, then don't. But we are clearly taught in the New Testament that all foods are clean. To follow the old law brings us back to bondage. I think the Lord did this because He knows their will be a day that we will need meat of any kind to survive.
@KarMarJo57 Is it bondage, to obey your parents when you are a child? Is it bondage for a fish to not be able to walk on land? Is it bondage for us to do as the Lord said? If you fully believe that there will come a day that you will need any kind of meat that is available to survive, are you trusting the Lord? Did he not provide a way for his children in the wilderness to eat or to drink? If you trust him, could he not provide a way for you to not break his commandments?
@speakthetruth Even meats offered to idols can be eaten if the Christian's conscience is strong in Christ but if a brother could be stumbled, we are to abstain for other's sake. And this is true for any freedom. And I surely won't serve pork to you little brother :).
@KarMarJo57 Now as for this verse on receiving meat with thanks giving. Does it mention clean or unclean meats? Neither! So this can not be said that it applies to unclean foods, in fact, if you read the verse before it it brings out the impression that it is meat in general and that would have been in relation to people like vegans, etc.
