And the voice came to him again a second time, “What God has made clean, do not call common.”
Acts 10:15 ESV
"Don't call common" Common = koinos, not akathartos.
Peter's vision was about people, not food. God made Cornelius clean. Jewish halakha made him common, but God overruled the traditions of men that put divisions between Jew and Gentile in his house.

i'm just going to say one thing, with the intention of not being taken in the wrong way, and i choose you jay, because i think your chin can handle it.
i'm not saying you're wrong, understand me,
i'm just saying, sorry, the argument is not strong enough.
by this i mean two things.
one, is it strong enough to convince people who as of yet think the dietary laws have been cancelled to think again?
two, even for torah keepers, who, upon reading this passage are thrown into confusion as to what to think now, will it strengthen them in their understanding?
the argument that it applies to people, gentiles, is not the issue.
the argument that it does NOT apply to animals, and the consumption thereof, is not strong enough.
if i were to look at this from a sceptical logical viewpoint, i would not have been convinced, is what i'm saying.
but, were you to ask me to provide a strong enough argument then, which you have the right to if i criticize, i'm afraid my answer would cause more consternation than reassurance, because it's intertwined with other issues.
and i have enough problems making them clear first...
basically, it convinces only those who already thought the same thing.
not a bad thing to strengthen them, if that was the goal.
this is just a critique on the strength of the argument, jay, well meant.
(and it would apply to just about everybody who has argued around this issue, it needs to be stronger, guys.)
