In the last comic I brought up the 4 commands given to the new converts by the Jerusalem council. There was a challenge given to my statements around it that brought up that Paul did away with those commands in 1 Corinthians 8. Paul talks about how that meat sacrificed to idols really isn't anything because those idols aren't anything. That we should only not eat it if we are going to cause someone else to stumble.

I touched on the subject of not mentioning things a bit in the "The Sabbath" section. While it isn't mentioning it in the comic, this is based on Acts 15. A lot of folks out there will point at Acts 15 to say "The Jerusalem Council settled the issue of the Gentiles. They only have to follow those four commands listed." While there are food related commands mentioned (eating blood, food sacrificed to idols, or things strangled) there is no mention of the clean and unclean, so their defense is that it doesn't apply to Gentiles.

Peter's vision is often used as another objection to being able to eat unclean animals. We all know part of the vision. Peter has a dream. God shows a sheet of animals that included unclean animals. God then tells Peter to kill and eat. This is usually where someone stops the story to "prove" that we can eat whatever we want now.
