Bible Note: Not to "call any man common or unclean" And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. Acts 10:28 According to Acts 10:28, what was God's purpose in the vision he gave to Peter? What was God teaching him? In his own words, Peter says, "God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean." Thus, the meaning of the vision is about people, not foods.
