Salvation is a free gift of God - Have confidence you are saved!

Be convinced of these 4 biblical truths: 1. Each of us has sinned; 2. God is just, requiring a punishment for sin; 3. But out of love God sent His Son, Jesus Christ who by dying on the cross, provided forgiveness of sins in taking man’s deserved punishment; 4. Therefore, by faith alone in Christ’s sacrifice for our sins and belief in His resurrection, man can gain eternal life. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9-10, Romans 3:21-26)

Paul destroyed, whoever you are quoting, metaphor (Does this person actually think Peter is a cannible in over to fit that warped interpretation of Acts) throughout his Epistles. Also in context because his audience were primarily Gentiles who believed in Christ, not converting to Judaism.

Whatsoever is sold in the shambles/market, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake: For the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof. If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.

Some of this meat may have been sacrificed to idols (Which gave Gentiles pause due to Jewish dietary laws), yet God assures Paul that there is no abomination because Jesus/God on the cross said "It is Finished" then in 70 AD really emphasized that point and unleashed freedom, not bondage.

"I have never eaten anything impure (Your metaphor about man) or unclean (Your metaphor about man)." --Peter.

“Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.” - Voice of God's messenger to Peter.

Sorry, Acts 10 is literal unless again, you believe Peter is a cannibal then metaphor in haste all you want. Leviticus 17:1–7, you say you follow the Law but don't even know what this is. Imagine what God thinks when someone eats meat that was sacrificed to an idol (Or even God Himself) without bringing the food to the Tabernacle Altar? Thank God for the freedom Christ brought us with the New Covenant, would hate to be in bondage of the Law.

This argument could be turned against those that believe the Eucharist is...

The eucharist is NOT...One is no better off, if they receive it, or don’t receive it, like me, who doesn’t believe it in the first place. 😁
