Peter’s
Vision – Acts 10:9-43 (The gospel not only goes to the Jews)
For it seemed
good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: Acts 15:28 (KJV)
That ye abstain
from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled and from fornication:
from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. Ac 15:29 (KJV)
As touching the
Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves
from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
Ac 21:25 (KJV)
Principles of
Conscience – Romans 14 – 15:5 (Tolerance)
Food does not
commend us to God – 1 Corinthians 8:8
Lest I make my
brother stumble – 1 Co 8:13
God will destroy
both food and the stomach – 1 Co 6:13
Let no one judge
you in food or drink – Colossians 2:16

The great Apostasy

And he that doubteth

is not of faith is sin. Ro 14:23 (KJV)
Not
what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.
Matthew 15:11 (This is referring to washing of hands and the
outside of cups, etc.) Mark 1:15
Do
you yet not understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated?
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defiles a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does
not defile a man. Mt
15: 17-20;
Mark 7:17-23
All things are
lawful for me, but all things are not expedient (helpful); all things are lawful for me, but all things edify (do not build
up) not.
1 Co 10:1 (KJV)
All things are
lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me,
but I will not be brought under the power of any (anything). 1 Co 6:12;
1 Co 10:23
Wherefore if
ye be dead with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why as though living in the world are ye subject to rules. Touch not; taste not; handle not. Colossians
2:20,21
Know ye not that
ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If
any man defile (destroys) the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple are
ye.
1 Co 3:16, 17
And every man
that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things….
1 Co 9:25
