Bible Note: Hello Merv, 1) Gal 2:11-14. Peter was eating with Gentiles. In an of itself, this is not a big deal, except that Paul states he was living like a Gentile. Therefore, it is reasonable to state that the food Peter was eating was not kosher. If Peter was eating kosher food in a Gentile home, there is no harm as both Peter and Paul knew it was permissible. 2) The food was not considered unclean because of unwashed hands. The Pharisees said the hands were unclean, not the food. Again, the text does not say that food is purified by the stomach. Even if this occurred, it destroys your argument because now any food can be eaten because it will automatically be cleansed in the digestive system. Steve |
