15 and if through victuals/brwma <1033> thy brother is grieved, no more dost thou walk according to love; do not with thy victuals destroy that one for whom Christ died.

Not sure, I think it needs to be made more clear.

St. Matthew 15:11

What goes into someone&#8217;s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.&#8221;

I'll try to go through it more when I get up. Tired.

Good verse hF

Sure did, and 14 says, by way of the Lord, said again in 20, in case ther was any confusion. Sadly, it is the weak, that deem things unclen, as per 14:1, and 15:1, probably new converts. Fragile ones.

More..Corinth, like in unclean idol food.

10:25 Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience. 26 For “the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof.”

 

[Macarius]

There's also the vision of St. Peter in Acts 10:9-16

The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat, but while they made ready he fell into trance and saw heaven opened an an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. And a voice came to him, "Rise, Peter; kill and eat." But Peter said, "Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean." And a voice spoke to him again the second time, "What God has cleansed you must not call common." This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.

Or how about Colossians 2:16-17, 20-23 - So let no one judge you in food or drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ... Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations - "Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle," which all concern things which perish with the using - according to the commandments and doctrines of men? These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.

The food laws do not apply to Christians. Anyone who says otherwise preaches a different Gospel than that of Christ and St. Paul and is anathema.

Todays MJ's and sda folk, cause division, because they declare all the pork, catfish, shrimp, lobster, crab eating Christians sinners.

It is sooooo dated!

Nah.....just deluded

 

[LittleLambofJesus]

Any other views on this?

 

[Jpark]

Yes, he did. It is not food that defiles man, but man that defiles the food.

Food must be received in repentance and must be given in repentance. This repentance I speak of is the blood of Jesus (1 Peter 1:22-23).

 

[Deut 5:29]

Did Paul declare all foods clean?

If you're talking about all animal flesh the answer is no.
That is not what Ro. 14 is about.

 

[Deut 5:29]

St. Matthew 15:11

Mat. 15 is not speaking about unclean animal flesh.

 

[MKJ]

It is sooooo dated!

That unclean food bit is, like, so over man.

I voted for no unclean foods, as long as you pick them up before 5 seconds pass.

 

[ivebeenshown]

I would say NO, he did not declare all foods clean.

Jesus declared all foods clean.

 

[cyberlizard]

I would say NO, he did not declare all foods clean.

Jesus declared all foods clean.

where?


Steve

p.s. Mark 7v19 says no such thing according to the Greek.

 

[cyberlizard]

The Torah is from God who says He is not a man that He should lie, nor a son of man that He should change His mind.

God said some foods where unclean.

Can God later change His mind?



Steve

p.s. Paul bases all his theological arguments on the authority of the words of Moses, so it is highly unlikely he would contradict him. Jesus also argues for the eternal validity of the Torah.

the real question is, does the Law apply equally to Jew and Gentile?
