Note verse 4-5 I TIMOTHY 4 :
"For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with Thanksgiving"
Additional Input- Christians are supposed to eat what Jesus ate. If He did it, they are to do it, if He did not eat it, then neither are they supposed to do so. Therefore, Christians are supposed to eat what God created to be food & avoid what He deemed "unclean" & thus, non-food; what He calls "abominable." Since God never changes (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8), then what He deems abominable to Him doesn't change, either. Many people use 1 Timothy 4 (& other verses) to defend eating whatever they want. However, this is due to either taking someone else's word (like a preacher's) on what this passage is about, just not investigating the Greek or simply bad scholarship - or even - just defending doing whatever they wish! (Phil 3:19)
Sorry, but I have to rebutt the answer above me. There are plenty of things that Jesus did not eat most likely. There are recipes that did not exist back in Israel, such as corn chips and such.
- The short way to prove this is quite simple and also proves that those who claim that "anything" is now "food" is something even they don't really believe. This quotation clearly explains the point:
- "In reality, even you don't believe what you said, that "anything" is clean. What that statement refers to is what your culture says is clean. You consider shellfish, pork and catfish "food" but wouldn't consider rats, bats, roaches, maggots, turkey buzzards, and other things your culture calls disgusting, "food." Therefore, even you don't really consider "anything" to be food. The true issue is whose definition you choose to live by: that of your culture or God's" (-thewayofthemessiah.org)
