Just for the record, Peter's vision wasn't about eating non-kosher animals. In the account in Acts 10:10 we see that Peter was "hungry" when he fell into a trance and received his vision from Yahweh. In a sheet he saw "4-footed animals, crawling creatures, and birds." None of these are said to be "unclean" or "non-kosher" though they may have been. Still, they are just creatures. Even from their description we do not see anything that identifies them as specifically "unclean" for many 4-footed creatures are "clean"(cattle, goats, etc.).
In 10:13-14 Peter responds to "kill and eat" with "No Master, I've never eaten anything common (unholy) or unclean." In 10:15 The Master Himself replies, "What Yah has cleansed, no longer call common." In 10:17 we see Peter perplexed about the vision and wondering what it meant. He obviously didn't come away thinking he was suppose to start breaking Torah and eating unclean animals.
The sheet had come down 3 times, remember? In 10:19 we see 3 men sent by an angel appear at the door, wanting Peter for Cornelius. In 10:28 we get the big "tada!" Peter says "You know how it's unlawful for a Jew to associate with a foreigner (which is not Torah law, by the way, but rabbinic/talmud tradition) BUT Yahweh has SHOWN me that I am not to call ANY MAN common or unclean." and vs. :34, "I most certainly UNDERSTAND NOW that Yahweh is not one to show partiality but in every nation the man who fear Him and DOES WHAT IS RIGHT is welcome to Him."
Then Acts 11:1-18 we see men who took issue with Peter being with the Gentiles and Peter explains the entire vision again. The other men glorify Yahweh, saying, "Well then, Yahweh has granted to the Gentiles also the repentance that leads to life." So we see that Peter's vision had to do with the body of Hebrew believers realizing that ALL men, including Gentiles, were welcome to their faith and Messiah and were no longer to be excluded so that the Gospel could bring salvation to all, as it did to Cornelius' house. It had nothing to do with food.
Also, Peter's vision was just that--a vision. Visions/dreams aren't meant to be taken literally, and have never been taken literally historically. They always have a deeper meaning, such as Daniel's and Joseph's and Pharoah's etc. etc. For example, Daniel saw a big statue, toes of clay, etc., etc. But we know there's no literal statue that we're waiting to see, it represented rulers/kingdoms. Joseph saw the sun, moon and stars bowing down to him, but that is no way literal, it was prophetic of his future rise to power. Pharoah dreamed of skinny cows eating fat cows. It was prophetic of the coming famine. So too is Peter's vision. It's not about eating whatever was in that sheet--clean or unclean--it doesn't matter. The important part was that Peter realized he was shown to call no man unclean and to allow the gentiles into the body of believers (and are then no longer called gentiles, but Israel). There is no Scripture that ever makes what Yahweh has declared "unclean" to be now "clean" and edible. In fact, in Lev. 11:43-47, Yahweh says we are to eat this way because He is holy and we are to be holy like Him. Therefore, He, Himself, associates obedience to eating only clean animals as a sign of holiness. And 2 Cor. 17-18 says if we don't touch what is unclean He will be a father to us and we will be His people.
