God used foods to illustrate people.
If God says the food is OK, then the people must also be OK.
God said to Peter..."And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.' (Acts 10:15)
If the foods were still unclean they wouldn't have been used by God to show/represent that Gentiles were now clean.
God did not say food was clean. Peter clearly said what the vision meant. Peter ast first did niot know what it meant---Act 10:19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
It was later, after meeting with Cornelius that he figured it out. If it had been food, he would have said so from the start. God never called a gentile an abomination, He said what they did was. Again, this does not say---I perceive that all food is clean.
Act 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
God pronounced pork an abomination, nowhere does it state it is now clean. It is an abomination for anyone to worship idols--He has never said it is OK now, He declared homosexuality an abomination, nowhere does it state it is now OK.
Lev_18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Lev_20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Just look up abomination---there is a long list---not one of which has been made acceptable in His eyes now.
Luk_16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
Rev_21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Deu_7:25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.
If you want to eat everything that God declared unclean, you go right ahead---just don't pretend that God has said it is now OK to do so. It's just not true.
