What does this mean: “To the pure all things are pure”?

[simplejeff]

sorry ezra,  it appears clear you keep teaching what is wrong, and you posted in different words that you  actually believe it is okay and have believed it for apparently a long long time.

it again appears from your own words that you are in big trouble.

Romans 14:21

“It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother stumbles.”

Ezra is absolutely right when he posted this:

The issue of clean and unclean meats is discussed several times in the New Testament, and the clear teaching of Christ is stated in Romans 14:14: I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.  Thus, “to the pure all things are pure”.

You clearly don't read Scripture or, if you do, you are not understanding it.

So basically you are accusing me of being a false teacher.  That is a very serious allegation.  Unless you can show everyone a Scripture and exactly what it teaches, then show whether I actually contradict Scripture (anywhere and in any post), you have no case.  

You said it was OK to worship idols because to the pure all things are pure.  Well, with all due respect, that is utter nonsense,  and a misapplication of Scripture.

While that is true and Biblical, it's not relevant to the subject at hand, jeff.

I already showed you where you contradicted Scripture, willfully you did.  I will show you again today, in about 8 hours, when Sabbath is over.

Meanwhile, you're again mistaken and making ungodly assumptions and wicked and evil accusation. ((in the post quoted below)).

Jeff,

You are making some very serious accusations, so I am going to quote your exact words from another thread about Offending Some Believers:

It's not the external idol worship by itself that is sin.  For the pure heart, all things are pure.

So it is time for you to retract this statement as well as your accusations, or else be reported for personal attacks.

the food and meats are the meats that was already known to be a SOURCE of FOOD, the SWINE was never to be used as a meat for Food, at all, it is clear, and you , have missed understood the scriptures for what they are saying, I am not wrong,

if this is so ,

then you have just said God went back on His word that  He gave, as a instruction to His people, I am sorry M.G but you do not see it for you have not searched the scriptures and found that if God says  it is unclean, it is not made clean, and ?

acts 10 , is not about food , but to bring in the gentiles, you have not followed this topic, at all, and you have not seen all the scriptures I have given on this issue, so please do not tell me I am wrong, when you have no idea, what has been given to us,

Pork is not even a meat or animal of  a food source, please read the scriptures ,  God is not Mocked to go back on His word,  Gods beyond our understanding, and we try to justify it, because we know its wrong,

 I have scripture in Isaiah 66, to tell us that God is going to get that person behind the tree chewing on swines flesh which is a abomination, if you can justify this scripture , then I will no longer bring it up, but it is clear, and assuming to say something it did not ? is the same as given false teaching,  thank you

As already posted above and rejected and ignored by you, here is what you call "false teaching".  If God says everything He means everything, but you reject the counsel of God.  You are treading on dangerous ground. Do not take Isaiah 66 out of context.

4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude;

For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: (KJV)

All was sanctified on the seventh day in creation... sin and the curse of God upon the world changed much from the original...
Christ is and will reverse the curse fully seen in the Millennial Kingdom... partly now by removing the dietary restrictions!
