Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Dietary Laws Still Binding

The verse describes a man who is "dumb" (unable to speak) and "possessed with a devil." There is no mention of food, dietary laws, clean/unclean distinctions, or any related concepts within this verse. The verse focuses solely on a demonic possession and the man's resulting inability to speak. Therefore, it cannot be used to support or refute the idea that dietary laws are still binding.
