scripture, ethnicity and food tolerances (was rabbit)

October 17, 2001

Well, speaking from a purely apologetic stance, if you

are Christian, check out the other NT (The New

Testament) where has a vision: (Forgive me any

mistakes in quoting chapter and verse, I don't do a

lot of biblical quotation:) Acts 10:9-15

In my text (NIV) it says briefly " Do not call anything

impure that God has made clean. " But read the whole

quotation so that you can see for yourself that I am

not quoting anything out of context.

I'm going to give God credit that S/He is smart enough

to realize that there are differences in ethnic

tolerance to foods. Differing succeptibility to

lactose intolerance, for example. The Jews were

original a desert people (read that " ethnically middle

eastern " ) and it's highly possible that they had known

intolerances to certain foods. When the new covenant

was made between Christ and all people of the world

God made -- S/He knew that the different ethnicities

of the gentiles had different food tolerances and

intolerances than the relatively limited genetic

ethnicity of the Jews, so God let know so that

the people (especially the new converts) could use

common sense to choose from more kinds of foods to

nourish themselves wisely in the wide ranging places

S/He was asking them to go to spread the gospel.

Jmho,
