Unclean Food still a sin
Posted: Thu Jun 06, 2013 3:49 pm
Many have said Paul was talking about sacrificing food and Jewish on handling food?
Which passage in scripture do you refer to?
Since we are talking about Paul, my guess is Acts 15. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Long story short: What the passage says is that there is a schism between the Jews and Gentile believers on the issue of eating food sacrificed to idols. The Gentiles find that the meat is fine and they can eat it since they don't worship the idols but the Jews thought of this as still idolatry. To provide unity, the elders decided to apply the rule to abstain from food that were for the idols as well as meat with blood on them (Acts 15:29).
I hope this helps.
