As people recover from a thanksgiving food coma I thought it appropriate we make it about food.
I have often heard that Romans 14 makes all food clean to eat.
I say it doesn't and as a people of God it helps to set us apart and make us peculiar for Him.
By our fruits we are known...that includes what we do...and eat
There is powerful witness possible by rembering our bodies are temples to keep clean and that we are no longer our own but are bought with a price and in gratitude take care of ourselves for Him...
"Food Laws or Fasting? Misunderstandings regarding Romans 14
When I was confronted with the idea that “Christians must keep God’s Food Laws” for the first time, my immediate knee-jerk reaction was to quote Paul. Why… didn’t Paul say that we could eat anything as long as we don’t make anyone else stumble?
A few years later, I read the same verses from the Apostle Paul’s letters, and think to myself – how did I misunderstand his words? and why did I misuse them so carelessly? It was for this very reason Peter was quick to warn the congregations about Paul’s writings.
“And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.”2Pet 3:15,16
