Romans 14:13-14 - Common or Unclean?
Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother. I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean.
Romans 14:13-14 ESV
Errant translations of this passage have created a lot of confusion and bad doctrine. Paul was not saying that God's rules about what is clean and unclean had changed or didn't matter. He was talking about man-made rules for what is "common", not God's rules. Akathartos vs Koinos.
