“There is no reason for any Christian to observe food laws unless it is to avoid giving offense.
Hear, hear! You would have enjoyed the pulled pork I made last Saturday. The only offense given was trying to get the people away from the table so others could have their turn at the trough.
Hey, no foolin’? I made pulled pork last Saturday, too. It was great. Twelve hours in a slow oven. Ummm.

My boys were over with friends and scarfed down the entire lot.
What a great thing it is for us today to be able to enjoy all the many blessings that God has put on the earth. And we should be thankful for the things Israel had to bear as a church under age that the Messiah might come into the world.
"Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?" (Acts 15:10).
"But if anyone says to you, "This was offered to idols," do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience' sake; for "the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness." 29 "Conscience," I say, not your own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience? 30 But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the food over which I give thanks? 31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 32 Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God, 33 just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved." (1 Cor. 10:28-33)
