It is often in the christian mindset, that those who hear the calling of the word of God, repent and begin to follow in the teaching of the One who said, "Follow Me" ; That they still appear filthy because of the carnal mind. And so the question begs to be answered by those who view those who are in the beginning of their walk; Are they filthy? Are we really that full of ourselves that we would question what Jesus is doing? Rumor mongers; Look at the sinners Jesus sits with!

Even though your response is accurate, it is also written that we should not question what a man eats, because in their hearts the law remains until such a time as understanding comes. Your answer is appropriate for the purpose of teaching. To not eat pork will not save us; but understanding the purpose of the Law given through Christ, will. Jesus gave several parables that teach the nature of the swine and the man; but in none of those parables was not eating of pork mentioned.

You simply don't recognize false doctrine nor understand what a believer's response to it should be.
matt is saying a pig is unclean and shouldn't be eaten. He didn't say that was the way he felt about it and if you think differently it's okay. He is presenting it as bible doctrine and that is a lie. The bible clearly says it's okay.
People that present lies for doctrine are to be opposed....or do you not realize that either?

Thank God for the Christians ability to discern those who would presume to use the word to their own ends.
[h=3]Revelation 22:18 [/h][h=3][/h][h=3][/h] I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book,
[h=3]1 Timothy 4:1[/h][h=3][/h][h=3][/h] Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,

The word is plain. There can be no private interpretation, such as you are doing. Your interpretation is private, it isn't what the word says.
Ignorance is not knowing one is wrong, and stupid is knowing and being wrong in spite of that knowledge.
Scripture has been brought to you, and you can no longer claim ignorance. It's just me, but I would avoid appearing to be the second definition.

And I would counter with the fact that there are far more Scriptures that plainly say God made pigs unclean as food, as opposed to your one verse that you think plainly says God made pigs clean for food.
I would rather go with a wealth of scriptures that points to a particular truth instead of trying to make 1 scripture present a truth that negates the others.
Fortunately, this isn't a salvation issue, and one that isn't worthy of some of the brash accusations you have made.

You don't have to be heavy handed with someone who actually understands what you are saying. I am saying the I personally know that it is written we are not to judge what a person eats. Because if it is in his heart that it is wrong for him, than it would be counted as sin to him if he did what was unlawful for him.
