Acts 10: Should Christians Eat Pork? - The REAL Meaning of the Book of Acts Series -- Jim Staley

I know it sounds CRAZY, but are we sure that God is okay with us eating pork, shellfish, and unclean animals? I used to be one of those Christians who thought it was crazy to think that God cared about what we eat UNTIL I was challenged to support it. And Acts chapter 10 was the #1 scripture I used to support the idea that I could eat whatever I wanted. Then I realized I was WRONG! I was reading into that chapter what I already believed, instead of allowing the context to tell me EXACTLY what the author was trying to say. This teaching is Part 5 in the Understanding the Book of Acts series. Understanding Acts from the original Hebraic perspective is critical and foundational to truly understanding the New Covenant and what the early Church actually believed and practiced. Where is the power in the Church today that existed in the first century? This series will challenge you and encourage you at the same time on how to return back to that power. Pastor Jim dives into the nuances and Hebrew culture of the day to truly understand what is really going on in the book of Acts and by extension the entire New Testament Church. 🎥 *VIDEOS MENTIONED IN THIS BROADCAST*🎥 ➡️ The Truth about the Gift of Tongues ─    • Truth about the Gift of Tongues ─ Jim Staley   ➡️ 10 Myths About Speaking in Tongues Debunked! --    • 10 Myths About Speaking in Tongues Debunke...   ➡️ To Eat or Not To Eat — Part 1 of 2 — Does God care about what we eat? --    • To Eat or Not To Eat — Part 1 of 2 — Does ...   Chapters: 00:00:00 - Peter's Vision in Acts Chapter 10 00:02:18 - Unpacking the Jewish Background of the New Testament 00:04:40 - Cornelius: A Gentile Convert to Judaism 00:07:22 - The Conversion of Cornelius and God's Special Message 00:10:11 - God's Attention and Cornelius's Vision 00:12:43 - The Standard of the Apostles 00:15:03 - Peter's Vision and Dietary Laws 00:17:40 - The Hidden Message for the Gentiles 00:20:32 - The Meaning of the Vision 00:23:03 - Trusting God in Difficult Situations 00:25:50 - Do Not Doubt God's Plan 00:28:50 - Cornelius the Centurion Seeks Peter 00:31:24 - The Blood Covenant in Hebrew Custom 00:34:02 - Covenant with a Gentile 00:36:39 - Breaking Social Barriers 00:39:01 - Peter's Gospel to the Gentiles 00:41:29 - The Holy Spirit Falls Before Conversion 00:44:01 - The Power of Speaking in Tongues 00:46:23 - The Significance of Ritual Cleansing 00:49:07 - Understanding Scripture 00:51:41 - Closing Prayer and Wrap-Up Please consider partnering with us and paying it forward to others by donating by texting PayitForward to 801801 or visiting: https://www.PassionForTruth.com/donate 🔔Subscribe to this channel to learn more about the Christian Roots of your faith:    / passionfortruthvideo   ✅ Stay Connected With Us: 👉 Website https://passionfortruth.com/ 👉 Facebook   / passionfortruth   👉 Instagram   / jimstaleyofficial   👉 Rumble https://rumble.com/user/PassionForTru... 👉 Twitter   / pftministries   ============================= ✅ Other Videos You Might Be Interested In Watching: 👉 Understanding The End-Days Judgment: What It Means? - Insights From Jim Staley | PassionFortruth.com    • Understanding The End-Days Judgment: What ...   👉 Promo: Easter Vs.
