So, Bud02, you're not SDA afterall?
To the OP,
You need to calm down. I too was in the USAF in many countries, and in some situations I HAD to eat what was put before me.
1 Cor 10:27-31
27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
That 27th verse is NOT about eating what is presented to an idol. Use your common sense. Paul says in that situation to eat, asking no questions.
28 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
But that 28th verse IS about refusing to eat what is sacrificed unto idols. In this situation, Paul says to not eat what is sacrificed to idols for the unbeliever's sake.
I agreed that the Message Peter was shown in Acts 10 with the blanket of unclean animals was NOT about food, but about God sending The Gospel also to the Gentiles.
I also agreed that per God's Law, we are to eat only from His list of meats created to be received. It's for health reasons. We could go further with how man is even corrupting foods today that are on that list. Not everyone is capable of raising their own chickens and having a garden. Christ is NOT going to condemn any believer on Him for having to eat whatever is sold in the shambles. That's the point Paul made there also...
1 Cor 10:25
25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
(KJV)
PETER'S REMARKS ABOUT PAUL'S EPISTLES:
The some things in Paul's Epistles that are hard to understand which Peter spoke of, is linked with the SUBJECT Peter was covering in the 2 Peter 3 chapter.
2 Pet 3:16
16 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.
(KJV)
Just what "speaking in them of these things" was Peter talking about from Paul's Epistles?
Well, what were the things Peter was covering in the 2 Peter 3 chapter?
Peter was teaching about the idea of world ages, destruction upon the earth by a flood, and the coming end of this world by fire. THAT'S "these things" he was talking about within some of Paul's Epistles that many struggle with. Romans 8 is a prime example, but I won't go into it here.
