Bible Question: In a particular verse it says not to eat shellfish, in another verse it says with thanksgiving everything is ok....what is your understanding? |
Bible Answer: The shellfish passage is in the OT (?not sure where?), in the NT God tells Peter that 'what he has made clean we shouldn't call unclean' Acts 10. Jesus also said that it is not what enters a person's mouth that defiles them, but what comes out of it (gossip, envy, etc). So, unless you are eating shellfish in front of someone it might offend, then it is perfectly fine to do so. Hope that helps In Christ's Love, jeremy laduke http://www.cor13.com/blog |
