Q. I read in Isaiah how angry God was at his people for eating unclean flesh that he had not meant to be food. My question is, in today’s world as a Christian, is it sinful to eat unclean flesh ? I’ve been a Christian 35 or 40 years, most everyone at church eats whatever they want, standing alone is difficult. I don’t want God angry at me! I understand the mercy and grace of the Lord Jesus, but in Romans it asks, “Should we sin that grace may abound?”
Thank you for your question. I hope this earlier post will help answer it:
“Did Jesus not declare all foods clean?“
