Subject: Hank - Diet ??? |
Bible Note: Tim Moran: Thanks for the feedback ! Please look at my most recent note I gave Steve on my belief of Math:15. Regarding Peter's vision - do you not find it strange that Peter's after having been one of the closest disciples to Jesus and taught by Him during His ministry - Peter still held to the diet of God. Also, nowhere does it say Peter ate the unlclean creepy things. Instead, Peter comes down off the roof and ponders the vision because he did not understand it. Not until he is at Cornelius's house that Peter reveals the understanding of the vision which was only that God has shown him that gentiles were not longer to be considered unclean. Peter repeats his experience when he was in Jerusalem in Acts 11. Nowhere do we see Peter or anyone else give the interpretation of the dream or even a dual meaning of the dream that somehow God was saying tp Peter that God has cleansed all food. Instead, the context and discussion by Peter explains that God had to use the unclean food vision to make his point because God knew Peter would not eat the unclean food because God had commanded man not to eat it. That is obviously why Peter did not immediately understand the vision. It was not until he was confronted to go to Cornelius house that he began to understand. I will comment on the other questions you had shorty. God bless, Merv |
