I can't seem to find that in the Bible anywhere. Now I know you are making stuff up on the fly.

No, I'm making logical conclusions. The Lord, in the bible, told them that they shouldn't eat certain animals. Thousands of years of tradition taught the newest Jewish Christians that they should only eat the animals the Lord said were good for food.

But of course they didn't have the benefit of your tradition to tell them to disregard the Lord's words.

I eat pork chops, shrimp, and all sorts of "moving things" because I have the freedom in Christ to do so. Just like Peter and Paul and Noah and Abraham.

Scripturally none of these people never ate anything that God designated as unclean. In the few scriptural examples we have, Abraham only at clean food. And call me when you eat a poisonous tree frog or a puffer fish.

Thousands of years of tradition taught the newest Jewish Christians ...

You mean the Jewish Christians who were born and raised under the old covenant? You are here to force cultic laws limited to ancient Israel in the land upon all God’s new covenant people.

It is a fit that will not work, first of all because gentiles were never subject to these laws, and second, because we know that Christ has set us free from these things.

Abraham only at clean food.

C&V, s’il vous plait? Abraham was a gentile, the father of many nations. His faith became reality long before Mosaic food laws.
