In mainstream Nicene Christianity, there is no restriction on kinds of animals that can be eaten.[1][2] This practice stems from Peter's vision of a sheet with animals, in which Saint Peter "sees a sheet containing animals of every description lowered from the sky."[3]

Romans 14:1-23 ESV

As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. ...

Matthew 15:11 ESV

It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.”

1 Corinthians 8:8 ESV

Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do.

1 Timothy 4:1-16 ESV

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, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer. ...

Acts 10:9-15 ESV

The next day, as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the sixth hour to pray. And he became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance and saw the heavens opened and something like a great sheet descending, being let down by its four corners upon the earth. In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air. And there came a voice to him: “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.”


Colossians 2:16 ESV

Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath.

I just do not worry about it all. And I always thought it was funny, it does not bother Jews what I eat. My first wife was Jewish, I have an older brother who is Jewish, I served on the purple line separating Syria from the IDF occupied territory on the Golan in late 74 after the Yom Kippur war. Spent a lot of time in Israel. And later worked for a Jewish company.

Not once, did any of them preach to me about the food I eat.

But Christians who support dietary law? Wow.

And not just them, I like to hunt. And you should see the comments I get by anti hunters. They buy their chicken raised on factory farms, then wrapped in plastic at their city super market, but then think they can lecture me about the ethics of going Duck hunting with my Dog.

Like sheesh, the Levitical law, made for Jews is not enough for some of them. You get the SDA types adding coffee and tea, Mormons any warm drink, and then the many that think having a Ale/ glass of wine or a Scotch night cap, is a sin. They even add to the laws, given to Jews! Unbelievable .

I thought about it a lot last September. My brother who is Jewish and I had never spent time together since maybe 1969, when he left home and joined the Forces. And I spent a week with him, when he flew in from BC to attend a family funeral and help sort out Dads estate. Not once in that week, he spent here, did it really come up. Other than in general conversation when I was cooking and checking with his wife what is Kosher and not. And not once did my brother, his wife, their kids preach about what food I should eat.

I figure, respect their diet sure, and they will respect my lack of one.

But not from Christians who follow dietary law! Go, figure?

Do it....it's YOUR sin.
