When I take an honest look at Scripture, I don't see anywhere that the food laws of Leviticus 11 were abolished. I realize there are some verses that people will often use to defend that belief but, looking at them in context, rules that out as an option. Jesus Himself said that He didn't come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it, and most Christians would agree that sin (i.e. transgression of the Law) still exists. So what makes us think we can pick and choose from God's commands when we try to express believing loyalty out of love for what Jesus did for us on the cross?
Probably the trickiest set of verses to this worldview that holds the Leviticus 11 food laws as still being in place are found in Romans 14 and Acts 10. Paul is clearly talking about divisive matters regarding food between Jews and Gentiles, and my translation does say it is matter of "clean" or "unclean."
So, doesn't this show that, when Paul says these foods are only unclean to the one who believes them to be, that this Old Testament Law has become a thing of the past?....Not so fast.
