Acts10“arise, kill and eat.”

"Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean” (vs. 14).

“What God has cleansed, that call not you common” (vs. 15).

Tell me again how long you've been reading the bible. It is my opinion that protestants have a tendency to read, but not to comprehend.

.
Perhaps you missed Peter's interpretation of Yehova’s words in verse 15?

Acts

[25] And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
[26] But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
[27] And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
[28] And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

It was not an enticement to eat rodents or drink blood.

What you seem not to understand is that in those verses you quoted they were talking about the meat from animals formerly restricted from the Jewish diet. Then there is the fact that your “opinion” that Protestants have a tendency to read but not to comprehend omits the fact that later in that same book, that is after the vision you referenced, Luke, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, still prohibited the eating of blood. Isn’t that interesting? It seems to me that “comprehension” would require that the Holy Spirit having inspired both passages would not have contradicted Himself.

Your “opinion” ignored the fact that you didn’t realize that it was the Holy Spirit who guided Luke to write the prohibition of eating blood even after Peter had that vision. Might I suggest that your “opinion” doesn’t count? Only the facts count and the fact is that you seem to not have “comprehended” what was written or maybe you didn’t even read far enough after your ah ha moment? Perhaps it is you who needs to read and attempt to comprehend better. Tell me again how long you have been reading the Bible with guidance from the Holy Spirit. Guidance from the RCC doesn’t count.
