No...G-d did not say that, He said do not call anything unclean that I have called clean...
By Frank L. Hoffman
For hundreds of years Christians have interpreted Peter's vision as God's permission to kill and eat any animal, which it is not. It is a vision to let Peter know that he and other Jewish-Christians were permitted to enter the homes of the Gentiles to bring them the Good News of Jesus Christ.
15 and there is a voice again a second time unto him: `What God did cleanse, thou, declare not thou common;'
See what happens when you change a word?...It gives a different meaning to it...
God is not a fundamentalist(or Jew)and NOTHING HE CREATED was unclean. To the pure ALL THINGS are pure
An old way of thinking must be put to death.
If you are going to enjoy the new supper.
One without Sacrificing anything.
So you think the hammock of wrigglies was a vision to teach Cephas a point about all foods being declared clean? Which according to Mark, Jesus had already done. Or it was more symbolic than that? Peter takes it literally about never having eaten unclean food. No symbolic lesson is then explained. It really does seem to be about clean food laws.
Very interesting thread and good expositions, everyone.

I think it has more to do with people outside the Jewish community being a new potential source of income.
And how does the FACT that they are help you?. Seriously
Unlike your theology which puts you at the center, it is not like that for Christianity.
It doesn't personally help me that much, other than knowing I am a Gentile. It helps put some of the events and dispensations in its proper context.
