Bible Note: Hi Brad: Rom. 14 does not address unclean/clean food according to God's laws on what animals are clean or not in Leviticus. The clean/unclean issue was contamination by idols. This same kind of misinterpretaion is used in Math 15 - Mark 7 - Acts 10/11 to claim all foods are clean which is absolutely not true. God would not call an animal abominable in one place and them say it is clean. Absolutely not. Animals are unclean because God said so becuase they are carnivors. Col. 2:16-17 is talking about the ceremonial special days in which they did food and drink offerings. (See Lev. 23 which clearly shows the difference between the 7th Day Sabbath and the additional sabbaths/feasts/new moons. And I agree that judging should not be done. But we should search for the truth. Thomas |
