Did Peter's Vision in Acts 10 Abolish God's Food Laws? (Interview w/ R. M. Bailey)

Did Peter's Vision in Acts 10 Abolish God's Food Laws? (Interview w/ R. M. Bailey)

Did God revoke his food laws? Did he abolish the distinction between clean and unclean animals? Many argue that he did based on Peter’s vision in Acts chapter 10. However, recent scholarship is challenging that interpretation. In his new book, Whom God Has Made Clean: A Pronomian Pocket Guide to Acts 10:9–15, my guest, R. M.

Bailey challenges popular antinomian interpretations and offers a pronomian reading that better fits both the immediate context and the broader biblical narrative. I’m excited to talk to him about this important passage.

I'm excited to have Rob with us to talk about this passage.

However, Dr. Logan Williams challenges this antinomian reading of Mark 7:1-23 and offers a more plausible interpretation.

Matters of Opinion (Romans 14)

Matters of Opinion (Romans 14)

In Romans 14, Paul admonishes his readers not to pass judgment on one another over days and foods. Based on this chapter of Scripture, many believe Paul teaches that it doesn't matter whether or not believers observe the commanded holy days and dietary laws in the Torah. But is that really what Romans 14 teaches?
