Clean and Unclean Meat !!

--- Quote ---6. There are so many "clean" foods that one can eat, why bother with the "unclean" food unless you are stubborn, rebellious, and blind as my friends were!
--- End quote ---
I eat what my wife puts on the table... before that, what my mother did. When I'm out I eat what is available. I guess that makes me stubborn, rebellious, or blind...
1 Corinthians 10:23-31 (King James Version)
23All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
24Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
25Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
26For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
27If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
28But if any man say unto you, this is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
29Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?
30For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
31Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Well no...that was not my meaning...the key phrase in my words quoted above by you was "as my friends were!"
Both of my friends happened to be stubborn, rebellious, and blind (spiritually) by their own admission and factual observation. They were "know it all types" who knew better after being warned by the medical profession and others, not me.
I also eat what my wife puts on the table...before that, what my mother did. When I'm out I eat what is available.
However if your wife or mine put 3 day old road kill. or raw beef that was from a mad cow, (and we were advised what it was) I would hope that both of us would use common sense and not apply Paul's writings to make it safe to eat. However if you did eat it, I might consider you lacking in common sense, foolish, and not very bright.
The problem is that all of mankind are not civilized. Maybe God knows more than we do. ;D We are very sanitized and are not subjected to food that might harm us seriously.
Hope I made myself clearer...
Thank God that God is the God that God is!

All,
I really appreciate all your comments and I will keep in mind that although all meat is not forbidden by the scriptures, it makes sense to make choices about the meat we eat based on what is healthy and it sure sounds like a great percent of meat today is polluted, and altered to the point of being toxic. Seems like MOST of our food is in that same sad condition. However, knowing that all is God's will and we live day by day living the best we can, guess it does seem a tiny thing to put so much thought into what we are eating or not eating...when in the end "all is God's will".
Peace

I too used to worry about how toxic the environment is coming because of man's indiscretions, I did a lot of research on the environmental and occupational effects on health. It can be overwhelming and depressing but
As believers we need to Trust God in everything. I am no longer concerned to the degree that I was because
Tit 1:15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled
(Phi 4:6 CLV) Do not worry about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God,
Luk 18:8 ...... Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Even though this verse can be translated NO remember that we are called to be overcomers and faithful followers of the Lamb
Rev 17:14 ......the Lamb : for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
1Co 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful
1Co 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God

Hi Pilgrim,
I'm sure you are just kidding. For a moment there I thought you were serious.
I am not a white anglo-saxon, but I have enough intelligence (by the grace of God) to know how to feed my body in a healthy manner.
