1 | Unclean food for the Christian? | Lev 1:1 | Makarios | 105912 | ||
Greetings Asken! The early church had the same question! In fact, the Christians at Colossae were struggling with the very same things that you are asking now. And do you want to know what Paul said to them about this issue? "Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath." Colossians 2:16 Therefore, let no one seek to disqualify you by what you eat or by what you don't eat! Blessings to you, Makarios |

2 | Unclean food for the Christian? | Lev 1:1 | Kwigger | 105926 | ||
Warning! Danger Will Robinson! Classic blunder alert! Colossae is in GREECE! The previous post contains grievious errors! The people surrounding the Church at Colossae who would have been standing in judgement of the new believers would have been the family and peers of pork-eating GREEKS. Greek unbelievers pressuring Greek believers! Paul was warning the Messianic believers there not to succumb to the pressure they would feel from those around them, Greeks not JEWS! This passage means the EXACT opposite of what Churchians normally assert. Before you dismiss this interpretation out of hand, try reading it again while setting aside your own preconceptions. Paul compares Colossae with Laodicea which was know for its lukewarmness and apathy, not its excessive Jewishness. Also, Where Acts 15 is concerned, where are the Christians who are making sure meat is properly bled and not strangled? They say this is all we need to do yet they don't even do this pared down list of commands. I'd really love an answer to this! Grace and peace, Kwigger |

Kwigger, Sorry, but the only GRIEVIOUS ERRORS on the Forum tonight have been in your posts!! Colossians 2:16 "Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath." [ESV] "And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled? (This HE DECLARED ALL FOODS CLEAN.) And he said, "What comes out of a person is what defiles him." Mark 7:18-20 [ESV, emphasis mine] "Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience. For the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof." 1 Cor. 10:25-26 [ESV] You cannot attempt to say (and be justified) that I am taking these three examples out of their context to justify the fact that they all lead to the same conclusion. Most apologetics authors do not WASTE THEIR TIME with addressing this issue of whether or not we can eat hotdogs or not, simply because the Bible so clearly has addressed this shortsightedness, that is, shortsightedness if you find yourself so clumsily stumbing over this fact. I say this to put you to shame. "One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand." Romans 14:2-4 [ESV] Kwigger, you now stand condemned if you continue to pass judgment upon those who are not bound to keep Leviticus 11, but at the same time respect what the Lord was showing and bringing His people through. Makarios |
