"I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. (Romans 14:14 KJV)"
God does not differentiate between clean and profane, or holy and unholy, or blessed and unblessed. To God everything and everyone is blessed. Nothing is intrinsically evil. This is the realisation that St. Paul had. If only we could get it too!
St. Paul is making a profound observation that we make things "unclean" only to the extent that our thinking makes it so. It is our thinking that has to change rather than the thing itself!
