Greetings Rajeeb, You've asked this question before and have been given good answers. The only thing I can say further is that God loves each and everyone of His creatures. It hurts Him to see one suffer, yet He Himself used an animal to cover His greatest creation when they needed it, Gen.3:21. If the testing is done humanely and it is a needful thing - something to keep from poisoning a human, something to help make a human well in illness, something to help make more bountiful crops for poor countries, etc. - then we have to remember that God also gave the knowledge of the thing you're testing to a man to begin with...for the betterment of His greatest creation. And from there you'll just have to look to your own conscience. |

John If Paul did not follow the instructions in the Books of Moses, specially the ceremonial laws, would you please explain Acts 18:18, 15:20-21 (why verse 21 if Moses' law holds no water, what could they possibly learn?), and 21:20-24 (why in verse 20 is James so pleased that all the believing Jews are so zealous for the law? And was Paul just a shiester, playing make-believe, only to win converts? [Personally, I don't think he was.]). And finally, if Paul no longer observed the special days then why would he be so concerned that the fast of Yom Kippur had past? (The scripture doesn't say specifically that this was THE fast, but most ships in those days would not sail much beyond mid-Sept. to mid- Oct. because it was quite risky, and very dangerous due to the likelyhood of storms. Yom Kippur can fall anywhere between Sept 14 to Oct. 14.) I've asked this of many people, from scholars to laymen. I'll be interested in what you've learned about those vows that Paul took part in. :o) |

Very well stated Jeff. Those who obey the Torah, do so because we understand it was an instruction for living given to an already redeemed people. They were saved out of Egypt, then given the Torah. It was never intended for salvation. None of the sacrifices were for salvation. Salvation has always been by grace through faith. :o) |

Good morning Tim, Nicely put together post. You said, "The problem so many today seem to have is understanding that Paul makes a clean break with the covenant of Law" So, I must ask you the same thing I asked John about the vows Paul took part in. (He hasn't answered yet. It's still below.) I know your parents probably told you the same thing I was told coming up - actions speak louder than words (and words can very easily be misinterpreted, when it suits one's purpose). We have statements about Paul's actions that refute the statement that he made a clean break from the Law. :o) |

Dear John, Since MJH hasn't answered yet, please let me point out that if you don't read Col 2:16 all the way to the end of the chapter, you'll miss the subject of the scripture. The subject being, don't let anyone judge you regarding food, drink, a festival, new moon or sabbath according the commandments and doctrines of men. Paul was not talking about the commandments and doctrines that God introduced through Moses. As to Peter's hypocrisy? I am ashamed to have to admit that I have not yet studied that one out yet. Therefore I am not able to give you an answer at this time. Sorry. :o) |

John, I also meant to say that the question about Peter is a good and valid question. I don't know if I'll come up with an answer, but I'm going to try to over the next few days. |

John, I understand those commandments and doctrines of men spoken about are the extra oral portions of the law. The parts that men came up with. (I wasn't even considering that it could be things to do with paganism, not even anything the gentile believers had brought in with them, all to do with the Jewish Oral Law.) There were all kinds of extra things tagged onto any one of the God-given observances, and they tended to steal away the original idea of what that particular "law" was even for. You folks have a great weekend, a blessed, safe holiday. I'll talk to you again on Sunday or Monday. |
