This does not silence me on what my conscience guides me though.

Paul made it clear that it was the weak who couldn't eat "anything". (IOW, "anything" was fit to eat.)

You made this claim: You'll quote some cryptic verse about meat sacrificed to idols or something about "all meats" while the audience at that time knew very well about clean and unclean and knew it did not include unclean.

You can't support this statement.

To be clear, if it's your own conscience that prevents you from eating bacon, then there's nothing to argue; I'm certainly not going to tell you to act against your conscience. But you can't present a scriptural reference to support your point that certain meats were still considered "unclean" (even as I demonstrate to you that Paul himself considered them all to be "clean").

I think this is a misrepresentation of Paul says. I refer you to Romans 12:1 where your body is not your own but a holy sacrifice to God. But you should note there will be NO bacon in Heaven. No meat in any form of course. The original (Edenic) diet was fruits and herbs and the same will be in Heaven. There will no more death or sadness in Heaven which eliminates kids playing with Bambi in the morning and watch her slaughtered to be eaten for dinner. But go and do as the Lord directs you.
