Not only that, you would be hard-pressed to find a Trinitarian preacher who preaches the BIBLICAL COMMAND for the earliest Christians to abstain from rare and medium rare steaks.
Face it, we're all guilty, all right and all wrong all at the same time.
Yet, we have a God and Savior who died a criminal's death of the cruelest kind just so that we can have the chance to see through a dark glass to catch a glimpse of the love of our Creator.

....nor is there any place in the NT where anyone was baptized with someone saying, "I baptize you in the name of Jesus....". My official incredibly complex theological position on the matter is, I don't think it matters what one says when one is baptized.
It would be hard to find anyone who preaches against rare or medium rare steaks. Well, maybe I'll preach against rare steaks because thought of a bloody steak is disgusting. Yebshick.....I just shivered at the thought. But do you really think that's what is intended with that command...that we can't eat rare or medium rare steaks?
