Bible References

And am

To them Peter said, "You know yourselves it is illegal for a Jew to join or accost anyone belonging to another nation; but God has shown me that I must not call any man common or unclean,

That there

While one man has enough confidence to eat any food, the man of weak faith only eats vegetables.

Eat any food that has been sold in the market, instead of letting scruples of conscience oblige you to ask any questions about it;

Anything God has created is good, and nothing is to be tabooed ??provided it is eaten with thanksgiving,

For the pure all things are pure, but nothing is pure for the polluted and unbelieving; their very mind and conscience are polluted.

Unclean

But Peter said, "No, no, my Lord; I have never eaten anything common or unclean."

I said, 'No, no, my Lord; nothing common or unclean has ever passed my lips.'

To him it

But if anyone has doubts about eating and then eats, that condemns him at once; it was not faith that induced him to eat, and any action that is not based on faith is a sin.

But remember, it is not everyone who has this 'knowledge.' Some who have hitherto been accustomed to idols eat the food as food which has been really offered to an idol, and so their weaker conscience is contaminated.
