# Abolish law of Moses

[Acts 10:](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+10\&version=RSV) (Peter)

> 9 The next day, as they were on their journey and coming near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. 10 And he became hungry and desired something to eat; but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance 11 and saw the heaven opened, and something descending, like a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air. <mark style="color:red;">13 And there came a voice to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.” 14 But Peter said, “No, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.” 15 And the voice came to him again a second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call common.”</mark> 16 This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven.

[Acts 13](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+13\&version=RSV): (Paul)

> 39 <mark style="color:red;">and by him every one that believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.</mark> 40 Beware, therefore, lest there come upon you what is said in the prophets:
>
> 41 ‘Behold, you scoffers, and wonder, and perish;\
> for I do a deed in your days,\
> a deed you will never believe, if one declares it to you.’”

[Romans 14](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=romans+14\&version=RSV): Paul thinks laws are only for the Jews and not for Gentiles

> 13 Then let us no more pass judgment on one another, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother. <mark style="color:red;">14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but it is unclean for any one who thinks it unclean.</mark> 15 If your brother is being injured by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not let what you eat cause the ruin of one for whom Christ died. 16 So do not let your good be spoken of as evil. 17 For the kingdom of God is not food and drink but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit; 18 he who thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men. 19 Let us then pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding. 20 Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for any one to make others fall by what he eats; 21 it is right not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that makes your brother stumble.\[[b](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=romans+14\&version=RSV#fen-RSV-28280b)] 22 The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God; happy is he who has no reason to judge himself for what he approves. 23 But he who has doubts is condemned, if he eats, because he does not act from faith; for whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.\[[c](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=romans+14\&version=RSV#fen-RSV-28282c)]
