This was Peter, following a vision God had shown him (recorded in Acts 10:9-16). Acts 10:28 - Then he said to them, "You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean." [NKJV]

Is a last will and testament a mere suggestion?

No, a last will and testament is a legal document that outlines how a person's assets and estate should be distributed after their death. It is legally binding as long as it meets the requirements of the law and is properly executed.


Does it say in the new testament that it is okay to eat pork?

Quote "Yes. According to the Bible, Peter had a vision of God's New Covenant with man through Jesus, and therefore we are now able to enjoy yummy bacon without guilt. Acts 11:4-10 4 Peter began and explained everything to them precisely as it had happened: 5 "I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision. I saw something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to where I was. 6 "I looked into it and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air. 7 "Then I heard a voice telling me, 'Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.' 8 "I replied, 'Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.' 9 "The voice spoke from heaven a second time, 'Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.' 10 "This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven again.""I'm not sure what translation you are using here but in the KJV Acts 10 8-28 it uses the words common and unclean. Unclean is the description originally used to forbid eating any animal with split hooves. The word common is used in reference to the food that the gentiles ate (foreign food). God never said he blessed unclean. His words were "What God has cleansed, that call not though common." The vision of Peter does not state there were any animals with split hooves. Also in verse 28 it plainly states upon meeting Cornelius Peter said " Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean." He is referring to the trance/vision that some use as an excuse to eat forbidden foods. Some people just didn't get the story of Adam and Eve. lol_AK


What is the meaning of Peter's dream?

If you are asking about the Apostle Peter's vision in Acts, chapter 10, it is understood to be the command of Christ to open the gospel to the Gentiles. In other words, it meant that Peter, and by extension the other Apostles, should not limit their evangelism only to Jews, but take it to the entire world. Peter himself gives his vision this interpretation in Acts 11: 1 - 18.

Can a pastor run in the political arena?

why not? There is no prohibition in the scripture. Most of the opponents of this idea are using the case of the priest in the Old testament and Apostle paul who did not run for public office. We should remember that during the time of Apostle Paul, governance was by appointment. IF Paul was appointed and he rejected it then we may surmise that it was not the will of God for a pastor to run for public office. The case of the priest in the Old testament is totally a different thing. We should remember that kingship was promised by God to David and his descendants. So it basis was bloodline not vocation. Besides, David was a prophet who also was in governance. Samuel was a prophet too and was leading the nation. Since there is no prohibition that we can clearly point in the scripture, then we should be not dogmatic in our view. For me they can run because the scripture does not prohibit them to do so..
