1 | Dietary Law Today | 1 Cor 8:1 | Got it!!! | 94160 | ||
In your message you requested, "Any help from a "qualified source is appreciated"; therefore, I trust a scriptural response will suffice. Check out 1 Timothy 4:1-5. Anyone telling you to abstain from certain foods for 'biblical' reasons is not adhering to the Spirit, but listening to decieving spirits and things taught by demons (v.1). There is no 'biblical' reason to abstain from certain foods if you accept it with thanksgiving. This is as direct a statement releasing you from "dietary law" as you are going to find in scripture. It goes on to say in v.16 to "Watch your doctrine closely...". If a person has other reasons to abstain from foods, so be it. But "Dietary Law" is just plain rediculous in light of the sacrifice. You said, " I do not wish to take Jesus' sacrifice in vain". That is good - shows your heart is in the right place but don't you think that adhering to the letter of a law that he died to fulfil takes his sacrifice in vain just as much as living a lawless life? Live in love and you will fulfil the law. Adhere to the spirit of the law (love) - not the letter. God has already blessed you, Phil |

2 | Dietary Law Today | 1 Cor 8:1 | Ray | 94225 | ||
Hi Got it!!!, I wonder if I can get your thoughts on #93092 or one similar where I speak of the *spirit of God. I notice that you talk about adhering to "the spirit of the law (love) - not the letter." You also spoke of "not adhering to the Spirit [sic], but listening to deceiving spirits". Can I get you to consider putting that in lower case as well? From the heart, Ray |
