Dear All,
In Acts 10:15 it says "What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common." Obviously within the context of the passage this is both a legitimation of foods until then forbidden by Mosaic Law, and an invitation to Gentiles to join the Church. I am wondering if there is another theological understanding of this phrase. How shall we relate it, f.e. to Titus 1:15 "Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled."?
In Christ
