The fourth change was when Jesus came to earth as a man, the Son of God. Jesus said, "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." Matthew 5:17. God's plan to include Gentiles with the Jews into His plan of Salvation came in Acts ten when "Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, and saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: wherein were all manner of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean. And the voice spoke unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven." Acts 10:9-16. Some think one way and some another about the correlation of this trance with the freedom God gives with food today. What do you think?
"For one believes that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eats herbs. Let not him that eats despise him that eats not; and let not him which eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him." Romans 14:3, 4.
We have freedom today. What we eat can
be guided by wisdom, and if the Bible is the bottom line, your understanding
will grow, but you will never have to eat according to the current fad. Realize
that a food threat is around today: harmful chemical additives, processed food,
highly processed seed oils, deceitful “Natural Flavor” and bioengineered
additives. We are free but neglecting what is whole and good for us
will eventually hurt us.
