You guessed it. We are in a New Covenant, and it doesn't mix with the Old Covenant. If you try to keep the dietary laws, you better make sure you keep all those other Old Testament laws. Even if you can keep the rest (hint: you can't), circumcision is a particularly tricky one, as it needs to be done on the eighth day. Too early or too late - you already broke that one. Bad luck... :-|
if we’re convinced that certain foods are unclean it’s nearest a weakness in our faith and means we have to live as of that food is unclean so we don’t violate our faith
“
Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
For
one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike.
Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and
he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it.
He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he
giveth God thanks; and
he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and
giveth God thanks.
For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For
whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother?
for
we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and
every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that
there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
Let us therefore
follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may
edify another.
And
he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.”
Romans 14:1-12, 14, 19, 23 KJV
InChrist what matters is what we believe if we believe a food is not clean and we then eat it anyways it’s going to defile our belief oir faith and make us guilty.
if we’ve heard Christ who took away those things were going to understand the kingdom isn’t about food and drink food isn’t unclean and can’t make us unclean but if we are stuck under Moses we’re going to believe his words about certain foods , certain days and if we don’t follow those things we believe we’re sinning against faith
we have to follow our own faith and leave room for others to do the same when it comes to trivial matters like food , sabbath days , festivals and feasts ect
“For the kingdom of God is
not meat and drink; but
righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”
Romans 14:17 KJV
we have to leave room for people to not be at the same place we are in faith and not insist they do what we do when it comes to trivial matters like foods and drinks and days and seasons
