The context of the above verse concerns itself with right actions and wrong actions. It mostly talks about food and drink where we should be concerned with hurting a brother or causing him to "stumble" in his walk. I can understand refraining from having (or offering) a glass of wine in the presence of an alcoholic, for example.

This is not about particular instances like that.

Paul seems to be saying that there are no foods that are inherently unclean and all are good for eating. Is this true? Are the eating restrictions from Leviticus no longer in effect?

A faith that connot survive collision with the truth is not worth many regrets. -- Arthur C. Clarke
