Do You deny the following facts from God's word? Do You dare to think that this is to be interpreted as meaning unclean animal flesh? Do You not know that in the original language that this is written in that it refers to food and not any forbidden unclean animal flesh? Do You not know that anything that is sanctified by the word of God is sanctified in His law in the Old Testament? Do You not know that that Old Testament does exactly the opposite of sanctifying all such things? Don't dare to say that every creature is of God for one to eat. Do You not know that that would definitely include all angels and all humans? Who do You think is forbidding to marry? Do You not know that the writer was thinking of a certain religious sect in those days? Look at the original language and understand rightly.

Read that Mark chapter 7 again. Especially in the original language. The subject is not unclean animal flesh. Jesus may have not wanted the Pharisees to think that the disciples or anyone else had to necessarily wash their hands before eating every last time, but it was not saying that something like unclean animal flesh is or ever has been clean.

So you're implying that God told Peter to " Kill and eat " people ? That just doesn't make any sense.
Did I ever say it's possible to " pray away " any sin ? Of course not ! What I did say was about unclean meat only, how could I say to " pray away " any sin ?
What I say about praying before eating unclean meat does not come from me, but it comes from the Lord Himself !
It's written :
" For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused,
if it be received with thanksgiving:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. "
1 Timothy 4 : 4-5 ( KJV )
Again, personally, there is unclean meat I would never eat, like spiders, serpents, worms, roaches,etc. even shrimps, because those things are naturally utterly disgusting to me, and I would avoid to eat pork whenever possible.

How gnostic. Faith is belief and working is doing. Saying "Faith is doing" is just playing with words in a silly way.
Jesus said the work of God is to believe. That means, faith does not come naturally. It comes initially with hearing, yes, but to keep it going it requires doing. Check out the parable of the sower.

Get good understanding of the scriptures of which You talk. Peter was not told to do wrong. The vision or dream was with what might be called representative creatures images. For anything to be of God to be eaten, look for that to approved of Him in His law. Many fruits and vegetables may be included, but not the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Do You not know that being sanctified means being set aside "to make holy; set apart as sacred; consecrate"? Where in God's word do You think it sanctifies eating any unclean animal flesh? Do You not know that God's word said to not eat them? How do You get any idea that someone is saying that God told us (or Peter) that we should eat eat people or unclean animal flesh either one? Read the whole book of Acts and see what Peter was shown that is stated Acts 10:28. "28 And he said unto them, 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 shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean." Do You not know that the God of the Old Testament is the God of the New Testament and and that He Himself said that He changes not?

Why would God create delicious tasting pigs then tell us not to eat them? That makes no sense. God placed these animals here for our benefit. Unless he touches our conscience and whispers to us not to do so, I say we eat as much pig as we possibly can.
I love lechon.
I love lechon.

Do You know that Jesus and His disciples went by the Old Testament Law and that those are defining scriptures and THE SCRIPTURES THAT THEY WENT BY, and that they are showing the very nature of God and pointing to Christ being the Messiah? Do You know that Jesus told His disciples to be perfect even as their Father in heaven is perfect? Do You know that if You do not understand correctly the Old Testament that You cannot understand correctly the New Testament? You are wrong if You think that no one can have incorrect understandings of the scriptures. Don't think that it does not talk in Acts 10:28 about what God showed Peter in the vision. The first mention of the vision may be one of the most misunderstood parts of the Bible. Do You know that Jesus said to His disciples to be wise as a serpents, and harmless as doves?
