Our testimony differs from that of the Jews. We maintain that as
the Jews are the people of God, so today the Gentiles are God’s
people. If we refrain from eating certain things, we would be acting
as if the Jews alone are God’s people and we are not. No, the order
for today is to rise, kill, and eat. No distinction is to be made between
the clean and the unclean. What God has cleansed, none should make
common.
Consequently, new believers should realize that by eating both the
so-called clean and unclean, they testify that both Jews and Gentiles
are God’s people. We are not called to maintain Leviticus 11; rather,
today we are to bear witness to the fact that the Jews and the Gentiles
are fellow-heirs of grace, that there is no difference. Thus we affirm
this testimony through our way of eating.
