Can of Worms - Food

I am going to open up a can of worms here about what we are allowed to eat and what we are not allowed to eat at least from Acts 10 that is used to prove that we can eat carnivorous animals now.  The Israelites were not allowed to take unclean animals for sacrifices into the Temple and since we are the Temple of God, why do we put unclean animals into us.  Prior scriptures show that God (Jesus) will not let any unclean thing be in His present.

If we really take a close look at the words, Jesus said (this vision is about 10 years after Jesus Resurrection) "Get up, Peter! Kill something and eat it."

Peter did not understand what Jesus just said.  Remember Peter said "Absolutely not, Lord, for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean!"  Very strong words from Peter.  Jesus then told Peter,  “You must stop calling unclean what God has made clean.” 

What is wrong here and what did the Apostles fail to do.  Were the Apostles not given a  great commission to go and disciple people in all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything that I've commanded you.  They did not do this, for they were Jews and would not associate with unclean gentiles.   

Peter said it was wrong for a Jew to associate or visit with a gentile, but God has shown me that I should stop calling anyone common or unclean.  Peter now understood that is was about gentiles and not food. This was not talking about food, but about individuals, gentiles.  Peter then explains later that God has given repentance that leads to life, even to gentiles.  You might have other scriptures on what you can eat, but this is not one of them.  Blessing

Stephen

Act 10:13  Then a voice told him, "Get up, Peter! Kill something and eat it."

Act 10:14  But Peter said, "Absolutely not, Lord, for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean!"

Act 10:15  Again the voice came to him a second time, "You must stop calling unclean what God has made clean."

Act 10:28  He told them, "You understand how wrong it is for a Jew to associate or visit with a gentile. But God has shown me that I should stop calling anyone common or unclean,

Act 11:18  When they heard this, they calmed down, and praised God, saying, "So God has given repentance that leads to life even to gentiles."

Mat 28:19  Therefore, as you go, disciple people in all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

Mat 28:20  teaching them to obey everything that I've commanded you. And remember, I am with you each and every day until the end of the age."
