Yes, but it's not because there were non-kosher animals in Peter's vision (Acts 10). Rather, Peter's vision and the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15) declared all people clean, including gentiles (like most of us) who do not follow the Jewish law.

I've been settled in this for as long as i can remember, or apparently not. All things were made clean in acts? Pigs and sea creatures, etc?
Gentiles have never been given any dietary laws of this kind, so there is no issue. Just eat what is healthy.

Do you consider those healthy?
Depends on the context. Any common meat is healthier than cookies, for example (with the exception of poisonous animals, sick animals and similar). But the rest depends on the farming methods, processing, what you eat with it, what is added to it, if you eat in stress etc.

...sez the guy whose people invented the chip butty. :rolleyes:
I think you are thinking of those wimps in Liverpool who have little idea of how to efficiently clog arteries. The people of Aberdeenshire introduced the deep fried Mars bar to the world and so brook competition from no one!

Often, too often all focus is on the body.

The soul is dependent on nourishment from above,

Psalms tell how the soul can yearn, long for contact and uplifting.

From a spiritual point of view...nothing you eat will affect your relationship with God.
That does not mean you can eat unhealthily and consume poison and expect it not to affect your health.

Well, with worms gathering it's time to rethink what we eat. I may think twice about spaghetti:) shrimp looks to much like bugs and spiders. Quitting eating all together sounds good to me. Family has worms in their brains from undercooked bear meat. Sugar stuff seems the safest although it could have worms or maggots. Maybe I'll stop eating altogether unless my imagination shuts down..
Thanks for your input

What about simply cooking the meat properly? Thats more sustainable than stopping eating or eating sugar stuff.

Sounds like a reasonable plan.

You are not concerned when Jesus says: "

Matthew 7:23​


And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'

The bear meat had been harvested in Saskatchewan, Canada. It was stored in a household freezer for 45 days before being thawed and grilled and was initially served undercooked.

Trichinellosis is a rare parasitic disease caused by species of Trichinella roundworms. It is primarily contracted through the consumption of raw or undercooked meat from animals infected with Trichinella larvae. While historically associated with pork, modern cases in the United States are more often linked to wild game, such as bear, boar and cougar.
