What food are Christians allowed to eat?

[Mezuzas]

Somewhere in old testiment it gives some that we aren't allowed to eat. What are we not allowed to eat? And what Bible verses address it?

Thanks.

The Old Testament gives a list of foods that were prohibited under the Old Covenant. The New Covenant is Christ, and there is no prohibition on any food.

I think thats in the NT.
Acts 21:25

In Col 2, it states to let no man pass judgment on your in regard to food and drink, festivals and the like. In Rom 14 it states that everything is clean. The last thing we want to do is bind ourselves to a ritual or observance that is not valid. To do that would bring us back into subjection to elemental spirits as Gal 4 mentions (RSV).

What about it?
That was a different time, a different dispensation.

We are no longer under the Law.

What about the verses Isaiah 66:15-17?
Rom. 8:1
THERE is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

The Law of the OT has been fulfilled through Jesus Christ. We have been made righteous through our faith in Him. Since it's been fulfilled by Christ and since we've put are faith in Him, we are not under the Law, but under Grace.

[Sing4Him]

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Gal 3:13

We are under the New Covenant which sets us free in Jesus.

wasn't there a verse in the book of John that the lord says it is not what goes into a man but what goes out of a man that defiles him?in that verse Jesus declared all food clean.
