Some people think the law of unclean meats was part of the "old covenant" and thus is obsolete and "ready to vanish away" (Hebrews 8:13)
But when I read Acts 10:9-16 I was VERY confused...
In Peter's vision, a bunch of "unclean" animals were given to Peter and God told him to eat them; but Peter was like "no way! I've never eaten anything unclean before!". God then specially cleansed them so Peter could eat...
This doesn't make any sense. If the unclean meats laws were abolished then why would God still consider some animals "unclean?"
Furthermore, Peter lived with Jesus for 3 years... I think if Jesus ever said anything about the unclean meats laws being abolished, then surely Peter of all people would have known this.
Anyone think it's OK to eat pork and shellfish now? Or is Red Lobster of the devil?
