Had Jesus been saying that all meats are now clean then Peter would have no problem when the sheet came down in the vision he saw. One of the best ways to understand Jesus' wors are to look at what the disciples did after receiving them. If Jesus meant that all meats are now clean to eat Peter would have had a feast in the vision. I shall focus on that vision in my next post.
Peter refused to eat unclean, as well as, common meats. Peter struggled with the freedom we have in Christ. Peter refused to eat with Gentiles and was rebuked for it by Paul. God was teaching Peter a lesson in the vision and the lesson was that when God calls something clean ie; all meats, they are clean. In like manner, when God calls Gentile believers clean, they are clean.
