Is eating shrimp a sin against God? Did God Change the Law of Clean and Unclean Meats?
Eating shrimp is Not a sin. God explained and made it clear in the New Testament what to eat.
Jesus Christ very simply and clearly tells us about eating food. Mark 7:15-23 "15 There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man. 16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!” 17 When He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable. 18 So He said to them, “Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, 19 because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?” 20 And He said, “What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”
Jesus said it so nice and it has great logic. Jesus also tell us even if we eat unclean food, it get purified when it goes through the process of digestion. This means we can eat any food shrimp or prawn, pork, hare or meat of anything they like.
Some people consider some food not pure. Titus gives a good reason for that. Titus 1:15, "Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted.
In Acts there was a voice from heaven saying, Acts 10:15 "What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy."
I hope you understand it clearly. What are you waiting for now? Go and have a Marvelous Dish of Prawns. It's so Yummy !!!
