1 | What animals are okay to eat? | Mark 7:15 | Helava | 61148 | ||
Hi, I was just reading in Leviticus about the Clean and Unclean animals. And which one's God has said are to be eaten. I found that Pigs and Seafood like say prawns, crabs, lobsters etc are amoung those that are not to be eaten. Is my interpretation of this Scripture in Leviticus 11 correct or is there anothr passage in the new testament that allows us to eat these. |

My friend you can eat peacefully. Acts10:10 "And he became hungry and desired something to eat; but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance 11 and saw the heaven opened, and something descending, like a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air. 13 And there came a voice to him, "Rise, Peter; kill and eat." 14 But Peter said, "No, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean." 15 And the voice came to him again a second time, "What God has cleansed, you must not call common." |

Acts 10:28 gives the explanation of that vision. "Then he said to them, 'You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean." | ||||||

Greetings wolfrose, Acts 10 verse 10 tells us that Paul became very hungry while he was praying. He then fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet descend to earth. In this sheet were all types of 4 footed animals (both clean and unclean) of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. A voice came to him and it said: "Rise Peter, kill and eat". Peter at first refused. To him the command seemed all wrong. But then a voice came down and said "What God has cleansed you must not call common". God had previously set these dietary restrictions to keep the Israelites seperate from their idolatrous neighbors. The restrictions made it difficult for Jews to eat with Gentiles without risking defilement. This helped to keep the Jews and idolotrous Gentiles seperate. The new command abolished the OT dietary restrictions. In doing this God also made unity in the church between the Jews and the Gentiles. The above releases us from Lev 11 dietary restrictions. prayon | ||||||
