I am not sure where to post this so if this is the wrong area forgive me.
But I have a question on Dietary Law. My friend just told me that he has studied and realized that God's Dietary Law is still valid for Christians. The health benefits alone are proof of that. I have to be honest, I never really studied the topic in detail about dietary law. I figured hey if all foods are clean then please pass the pork!
Is there any validity to his belief from a Biblical Standpoint? He mentioned that God told Noah to bring clean and unclean animals on the ark. Since that was prior to the Law of Moses God already made a distinction between what is clean and unclean and Noah must have know the difference as well.
I also heard someone say that when God made a distinction between clean an unclean that Noah did not know the difference. Moses was writing to a people who were under the Law and therefore he was explaining the fact that those animals were clean or unclean based on the Law that they now know (Am I making this clear?) I don't agree with this view at all but it was brought up.
Any thoughts?
