Bible Note: Greetings Merv! Sorry that it has taken me so long to respond my friend! I have a bunch of 'bad' stuff going on right now! :-( The primary point that I have been trying to make is simply this: there are several ways of looking at the 'food' passages in the NT. In your original posts, you listed this issue as one of the 'false doctrines'. My point is that 'false doctrine' would be a bit strong of a statement for something that can be looked at in several ways. Overall, I would agree with you approach to Rom. 14. But, a case can still be made that v. 14 is a broader statement since Paul states that 'nothing in unclean'. Moreover, I do believe that the statement in Mark is too broad to include it with Rom. 14. Mark 7:19b says, "In saying this, Jesus declared all foods 'clean.'" Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
