Romans 14:5-6
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord: and he that eateth, eateth unto the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, unto the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

Romans 14:10
But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or thou again, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment- seat of God.
-
Romans 14:13-17
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge ye this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock in his brother’s way, or an occasion of falling.I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: save that to him who accounteth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.For if because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love. Destroy not with thy meat him for whom Christ died.Let not then your good be evil spoken of:for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My oblation, my food for my offerings made by fire, of a sweet savor unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto Jehovah: he- lambs a year old without blemish, two day by day, for a continual burnt- offering.The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even;and the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal- offering, mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil.It is a continual burnt- offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.And the drink- offering thereof shall be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou pour out a drink- offering of strong drink unto Jehovah.And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meal- offering of the morning, and as the drink- offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.And on the sabbath day two he- lambs a year old without blemish, and two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour for a meal- offering, mingled with oil, and the drink- offering thereof:this is the burnt- offering of every sabbath, besides the continual burnt- offering, and the drink- offering thereof.And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt- offering unto Jehovah: two young bullocks, and one ram, seven he- lambs a year old without blemish;and three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour for a meal- offering, mingled with oil, for each bullock; and two tenth parts of fine flour for a meal- offering, mingled with oil, for the one ram;and a tenth part of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal- offering unto every lamb; for a burnt- offering of a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.And their drink- offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bullock, and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb: this is the burnt- offering of every month throughout the months of the year.And one he- goat for a sin- offering unto Jehovah; it shall be offered besides the continual burnt- offering, and the drink- offering thereof.And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is Jehovah’s passover.And on the fifteenth day of this month shall be a feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.In the first day shall be a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work;but ye shall offer an offering made by fire, a burnt- offering unto Jehovah: two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven he- lambs a year old; they shall be unto you without blemish;and their meal- offering, fine flour mingled with oil: three tenth parts shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth parts for the ram;a tenth part shalt thou offer for every lamb of the seven lambs;and one he- goat for a sin- offering, to make atonement for you.Ye shall offer these besides the burnt- offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt- offering.After this manner ye shall offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah: it shall be offered besides the continual burnt- offering, and the drink- offering thereof.And on the seventh day ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.Also in the day of the first- fruits, when ye offer a new meal- offering unto Jehovah in your feast of weeks, ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work;but ye shall offer a burnt- offering for a sweet savor unto Jehovah: two young bullocks, one ram, seven he- lambs a year old;and their meal- offering, fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for each bullock, two tenth parts for the one ram,a tenth part for every lamb of the seven lambs;

Deuteronomy 16:1-17
Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto Jehovah thy God; for in the month of Abib Jehovah thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.And thou shalt sacrifice the passover unto Jehovah thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which Jehovah shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.And there shall be no leaven seen with thee in all thy borders seven days; neither shall any of the flesh, which thou sacrificest the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee;but at the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread; and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to Jehovah thy God; thou shalt do no work therein.Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: from the time thou beginnest to put the sickle to the standing grain shalt thou begin to number seven weeks.And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto Jehovah thy God with a tribute of a freewill- offering of thy hand, which thou shalt give, according as Jehovah thy God blesseth thee:and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man- servant, and thy maid- servant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are in the midst of thee, in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.Thou shalt keep the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in from thy threshing- floor and from thy winepress:and thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man- servant, and thy maid- servant, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.Seven days shalt thou keep a feast unto Jehovah thy God in the place which Jehovah shall choose; because Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the work of thy hands, and thou shalt be altogether joyful.Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles; and they shall not appear before Jehovah empty:every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which he hath given thee.

Leviticus 23:1-44
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, The set feasts of Jehovah, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts.Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of work: it is a sabbath unto Jehovah in all your dwellings.These are the set feasts of Jehovah, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their appointed season.In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, is Jehovah’s passover.And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto Jehovah: seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread.In the first day ye shall have a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work.But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah seven days: in the seventh day is a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring the sheaf of the first- fruits of your harvest unto the priest:and he shall wave the sheaf before Jehovah, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.And in the day when ye wave the sheaf, ye shall offer a he- lamb without blemish a year old for a burnt- offering unto Jehovah.And the meal- offering thereof shall be two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah for a sweet savor; and the drink- offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched grain, nor fresh ears, until this selfsame day, until ye have brought the oblation of your God: it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave- offering; seven sabbaths shall there be complete:even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meal- offering unto Jehovah.Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave- loaves of two tenth parts of an ephah: they shall be of fine flour, they shall be baken with leaven, for first- fruits unto Jehovah.And ye shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish a year old, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be a burnt- offering unto Jehovah, with their meal- offering, and their drink- offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.And ye shall offer one he- goat for a sin- offering, and two he- lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace- offerings.And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first- fruits for a wave- offering before Jehovah, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to Jehovah for the priest.And ye shall make proclamation on the selfsame day; there shall be a holy convocation unto you; ye shall do no servile work: it is a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them for the poor, and for the sojourner: I am Jehovah your God.And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest unto you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.Ye shall do no servile work; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,Howbeit on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement: it shall be a holy convocation unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.And ye shall do no manner of work in that same day; for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before Jehovah your God.For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day; he shall be cut off from his people.And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any manner of work in that same day, that soul will I destroy from among his people.Ye shall do no manner of work: it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.It shall be unto you a sabbath of solemn rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye keep your sabbath.And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto Jehovah.On the first day shall be a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work.Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah: on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah: it is a solemn assembly; ye shall do no servile work.These are the set feasts of Jehovah, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah, a burnt- offering, and a meal- offering, a sacrifice, and drink- offerings, each on its own day;besides the sabbaths of Jehovah, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill- offerings, which ye give unto Jehovah.Howbeit on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruits of the land, ye shall keep the feast of Jehovah seven days: on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.And ye shall take you on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm- trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before Jehovah your God seven days.And ye shall keep it a feast unto Jehovah seven days in the year: it is a statute for ever throughout your generations; ye shall keep it in the seventh month.Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are home- born in Israel shall dwell in booths;that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God.And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the set feasts of Jehovah.

1 Corinthians 8 7-1 Corinthians 8 13
Howbeit there is not in all men that knowledge: but some, being used until now to the idol, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.But food will not commend us to God: neither, if we eat not, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to the weak.For if a man see thee who hast knowledge sitting at meat in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth, the brother for whose sake Christ died.And thus, sinning against the brethren, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, ye sin against Christ.Wherefore, if meat causeth my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh for evermore, that I cause not my brother to stumble.

Leviticus 11:2-47
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the living things which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that part the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.And the coney, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.And the hare, because she cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, she is unclean unto you.And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you.Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch; they are unclean unto you.These may ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that may ye eat.And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination unto you,and they shall be an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses ye shall have in abomination.Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination unto you.And these ye shall have in abomination among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the gier- eagle, and the ospray,and the kite, and the falcon after its kind,every raven after its kind,and the ostrich, and the night- hawk, and the sea- mew, and the hawk after its kind,and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the vulture,and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.All winged creeping things that go upon all fours are an abomination unto you.Yet these may ye eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all fours, which have legs above their feet, wherewith to leap upon the earth;even these of them ye may eat: the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.But all winged creeping things, which have four feet, are an abomination unto you.And by these ye shall become unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the even;and whosoever beareth aught of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.Every beast which parteth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, is unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.And whatsoever goeth upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the even.And he that beareth the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.And these are they which are unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kind,and the gecko, and the land- crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand- lizard, and the chameleon.These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherewith any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean.And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean, and it ye shall break.All food therein which may be eaten, that on which water cometh, shall be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.And every thing whereupon any part of their carcass falleth shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.Nevertheless a fountain or a pit wherein is a gathering of water shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcass shall be unclean.And if aught of their carcass fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.But if water be put upon the seed, and aught of their carcass fall thereon, it is unclean unto you.And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the even.And he that eateth of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth is an abomination; it shall not be eaten.Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all fours, or whatsoever hath many feet, even all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.For I am Jehovah your God: sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that moveth upon the earth.For I am Jehovah that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.This is the law of the beast, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth;to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.

Leviticus 17:10-15
And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood, I will set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life.Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, who taketh in hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.For as to the life of all flesh, the blood thereof is all one with the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh; for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.And every soul that eateth that which dieth of itself, or that which is torn of beasts, whether he be home- born or a sojourner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.

Acts 11:3-18
saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.But Peter began, and expounded the matter unto them in order, saying,I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even unto me:upon which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw the fourfooted beasts of the earth and wild beasts and creeping things and birds of the heaven.And I heard also a voice saying unto me, Rise, Peter; kill and eat.But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth.But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common.And this was done thrice: and all were drawn up again into heaven.And behold, forthwith three men stood before the house in which we were, having been sent from Cæsarea unto me.And the Spirit bade me go with them, making no distinction. And these six brethren also accompanied me; and we entered into the man’s house:and he told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying, Send to Joppa, and fetch Simon, whose surname is Peter;who shall speak unto thee words, whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.If then God gave unto them the like gift as he did also unto us, when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?And when they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then to the Gentiles also hath God granted repentance unto life.
