According to the nt, are Jews allowed to eat shellfish and can they sleep with their family members?


Regarding eating shellfish...
  • (Acts 10:14-15) "Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean." The voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."
  • (Romans 14:20) Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.
Regarding sleeping with family members...
  • (Acts 15:11-20) We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we (Jews) are saved, just as they (Gentiles) are... telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood.
  • (1 Corinthians 5:9) I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.
Hope that answers your question.

Peace :)
