Nevermind that "Smoke in God's nostrils" thing, huh? Yikes.
Well, to each his own, I guess--as long as you aren't preaching it, or anything.

Ok, that was poorly put; I apologize. But I am curious if Peter's roof thing is the sole basis for allowing anything to be eaten, NT? We seem to have that, and the thing about
Romans 14:2
New Living Translation (©2007)
For instance, one person believes it's all right to eat anything. But another believer with a sensitive conscience will eat only vegetables.
English Standard Version (©2001)
One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables.
New American Standard Bible (©1995)
One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only.
King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
...wherein a peek at the lexicon seems to indicate "meat," rather than the broader def we give it--in other words, some people are meat eaters, I would think "clean meat" being assumed, and some are vegetarians in accordance with Genesis...
Romans 14:20
English Standard Version (©2001)
Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for anyone to make another stumble by what he eats.
New American Standard Bible (©1995)
Do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean, but they are evil for the man who eats and gives offense.
King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
International Standard Version (©2008)
Do not destroy God's work for the sake of food. Everything is clean, but it is wrong to make another person stumble because of what you eat.
...being over-arching, of course. However, the same condition seems to apply at "all things."
It just seems contradictory that Christ came to fulfill the Law, and I note that He (pointedly) ate some fish, but what evidence do we have that "all things" suddenly means "bugs, snakes, pork," etc.--unclean things.
However, John the Baptist ate locusts. I have always read there that this was from necessity, but one has to believe that this is what God supplied him with. I've just been scared from pork at the "smoke in God's nostrils" thing; that and because it offends many. Any help here? Ty
