Once again, you try to blur the line between Christianity and MORMONism.

The bible (and you referenced it) had a sheet full of all kinds of things to eat.

Joseph Smith, a MORMON Living Prophet® (the FIRST one) said in Doctrines & Covenants Section 89:12-13 (and I quote):

  12 Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;
  13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.

 
Pleasing to WHOM?  GOD  (the MORMON one)
 
 
Compare to the Bible:
 
Acts 10:9-15

9 About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.  11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. 13 Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”

14 “Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”

15 The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”

The post I made in 361 refering to Peter’s vision of the sheet had NOTHING to do with eating it had to do with showing Peter to accept & minister too the Gentiles and I said so in that post and you know I did.

And the scripture and actual meaning of his vision went right over your head. It was in relation to Gentiles cinsidered unclean by Jews. They could not allow them in their Temple, eat with them, associate much with them, etc. It was an issue Peter had to overcome even in his own prejudices.
