Re: Clean and unclean foods
The original Mosaic law contained, commandments, ordinances and judgements. As I have pointed out, the ordinances have been done away with. Also, the word "law" as translated into the English from the Hebrew in a number of places, has caused confusion, because the Hebrew words for "la...

Re: Clean and unclean foods
There is a subtle difference between Leviticus 11 and Leviticus 12. Lev 11:46, This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth: The word "law" as utilized in this verse of this chapte...

Re: Clean and unclean foods
BW said: What I am hearing is a few people declaring that the dietary Law justifies you - makes you better than others - superior because "We Keep the Dietary laws and you don't -Na Na na Na Na!" I never said anything of the like. You don't have to resort to childish rhetoric. Jesus said: ...

Re: Clean and unclean foods
I noticed this verse was quoted: Rom 14:13, Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way. 14 As one who is in the Lord Jesus, I am fully convinced that no food is unclean in itself. As it says, no &...

Re: Clean and unclean foods
Osacar said: Paul was addressing this to people who already knew what to eat and not to eat-that in the foods they understood to be on God's menu they were not supposed to put stumbling blocks in the way of another. I agree with you Oscar. That's what Roman's 14 is speaking of. Your original questio...

Re: Clean and unclean foods
I guess I should ask, for those who believe that the food laws in Leviticus 11 are done away with, what foods do you believe are fit for consumption and which one's are not? What criteria does a person base what is fit or not fit to eat on, other than personal choice? The horse for example was a cle...

Re: Clean and unclean foods
No, I know the dietary laws or won't save a person. They weren't given to save. They were given so that a flesh body would remain healthy. I also know the law cannot save a person. Only Christ can save. When Jesus died, he did not change the physiology of creatures that had already been created that...

Re: Clean and unclean foods
Hi Catherine. I know many believe what is said in Romans trumps the law: Rom 6:14, For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. (KJV) A study of the context will confirm Paul is talking about the law of sin and death not Biblical law in general. Basically ...

Re: Clean and unclean foods
Well, some Christians believe that the law is done away with. Others believe it is still binding. This is what Jesus says about the law: Matt 5:17, Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. (KJV) 18, For verily I say unto you, Till heaven ...

Re: Beginnings
Yes, I know what Genesis 2:4 says. Gen 2:1 says: Gen 2:1, Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. The rest of chapter 2 following verse 1 is after the heavens and earth were finished. According to Gen 1:26 it says, Gen 1:26, And God said, Let us make man in our image,...

Re: Beginnings
Hi MM7. Well, if you believe that Adam and Eve were created on the sixth day, then how do you explain the existence of other races? If Adam and Eve were indeed created on the sixth day, then when Cain went to the land of Nod, there should only have been 3 people on the planet, Adam and Eve and Cain....

Hi Jeannie. If you manage to get you hands on a Green's Interlinear Bible, then you can look at the difference in the words used for "man" and "Adam" in the Genesis account of creation. I will briefly explain. Gen 1:26, And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likene...

Re: Who is Lucifer?
Hi Jenna, I'll go back to the Hebrew to show you what Lucifer's name means: Strongs 1966 1966 heylel hay-lale' from 'halal' (1984) (in the sense of brightness); the morning-star:--lucifer. In Ezekiel 28 Lucifer is "allegorically" called the king of Tyre, a false king compared to the true K...
