RE: Should Christians Eat Un-Clean Foods???

in #steemchurch7 years ago

We can eat whatever foods we want to eat.

(Mark 7:17-19 NIV) After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable. {18} "Are you so dull?" he asked. "Don't you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him 'unclean'? {19} For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body." (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods "clean.")

We don't have to follow the Old Testament dietary laws any more than we have to provide animal sacrifices for our sins.

Sort:  

I hear your argument but you do understand that Christ was speaking of matters of the heart. He was not arguing the Laws of God he was arguing TRADITIONS OF MEN and 2nd they are not the Old Testament dietary laws they are The Laws of God. And I agree we do not have to sacrifice animals for sin because that is what Christ did on the cross He died for our sins because we transgressed the Law He took our penalty upon himself. But He didn't take the penalty upon himself so that we could then go and trangress the law without penalty. Rom3:31, 1John5:3 Also please understand that (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods "clean.") is not scripture and was add as commentary.
But I am not here to persuade anyone, if I wanted to I couldn't because that isn't my job it is for the Holy Spirit to do.
And each man should including myself take Philippians 2:12 very serious.
