1 | Unclean food for the Christian? | Lev 1:1 | EdB | 105887 | ||
Nothing is more pleasurable than serving the Lord in perfection and if we were able to do I would join you. But as Peter said so very eloquently Acts 15:10-11 Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? [11] But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved in the same manner as they." That all I have to say on this subject. EdB |

You wrote: "Nothing is more pleasurable than serving the Lord in perfection and if we were able to do I would join you." Am I to take from this that you only serve the Lord in ways that you can do perfectly? If so, I must concede that you are a better man than me for I can do nothing perfectly. I can however do what I can do. Since ALL my works are as filthy rags, I must needs depend on His grace and mercy to make up the difference. Do you refrain fromstealing perfectly? I don't. Committing adultery? Nope. Coveting? Darn, three strikes! The yoke that their fathers could not bear was keeping the commands to perfection, as in unto salvation. (See Acts 15:1) The notion that any imperfection should result in our throwing up our hands goes counter to the idea that we are to be salt and light to the world, doesn't it? Ed, it seems you are pretty well tired of defending the indefensible. Arguing with me is not the path to fuller understanding. For that you need to carefully examine your position in light of the whole of Scripture while setting aside your religious preconceptions. I can tell you from experience that doing this is hard. Those old interpretations keep creeping in. At this point most people with whom I have shared this challenge get insulting and stop making sense. They start with claimes of "Legalist!" or "Judaizer!" What they invariably miss is the obvious fact that being a real Christian means, among other things, acting like one. And acting like one means doing what He says to do. Rejecting the Torah results in degrees of picking and choosing what we will do without acknowledging that we are not on the path toward the revealed standard of godly behavior. Torah is the map to that path. Yahshua is the deliverer who ultimately takes us from as-far-as-we-got to the finish line of perfection. So the question remains: Why should we not simply wait at the starting gate for Messiah to carry us to the finish? One of many Scriptural answers to this question is in I John 5:2-4. " By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith." Is anyone else following this thread? Comments? Where's Asken? Grace and peace, Kwigger P.S. Ed, did you review my point about the attitudes Christians and evolutionists share? |

Kwigger You missed the point once again in your headlong dash to proclaim everyone but you to be wrong. The point I was making is the point given in James 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. Your statement was pleasure of keeping God's law I agreed but said that since I wasn't perfect able to keep all the Law I needed grace not law for my salvation. I do not tire of defending the indefensible I tire trying to reason with someone that fails to understand Jesus is the fulfillment of the Law. Your position is the same position that Paul fought against in his ministry to the Gentiles. All of Paul's writings particularily Romans is argument against the very thing you are calling correct. What I tire of is people that can't understand that. EdB |

So what IS the standard of Christain behavior? Also, you show yourself to be dihonest when you continue to assert I keep Torah for salvation. I have been VERY CLEAR on this point. Torah observance is REASONABLE SERVICE and is not grievious! Are you going to address any of my points? Who is inspecting the Christians' meat to make sure it is properly bled and not strangled as is commanded in Acts 15? Kharis and shalom, Kwigger |

Kwigger, Who says and how do you figure that what anyone buys from the store or from any restaurant has been sacrificed to any idol or has been strangled? Makarios |

Sakes alive, Makarios, we don't worry none here in Arkansaw about eating a animal what has been taking part in some kind of idol foolishness and we shore don't go around strangling cows. Wal-Mart don't neither. I'm purty sure a person could get hisself arrested down here if he went around bad mouthing Wal-Mart by up and saying they sells strangled animals or one that had been used in some kind of idol hootenanny. I'm cock-eyed shore he'd be laughed at from now on fer saying such a fool thang as that. Strangling a cow! Now that's a caution! Never heard of such a thang being done here in the Ozarks. I bet you Hoosiers don't even strangle cows, do you? --Hank | ||||||

Hank: We here in Missouri are quick to ring a chickens neck. Would that be close to strangling? Ringing a chickens neck is a pretty foul thing to do. What da you think? As for strangling a cow, any Missouri country boy knows not to kill a cow! A cow's for milken, and steers are fer eaten. You all in the South need some learnen about killen and eaten that's for sure! Last I heard about Wallies World killen steers there werent no mention of no hootenanny. Maybe down south of Missouri they do kind wild stuff like that there. As fer me and my woman and youngens, we've been warned about you southerners and them hootenannies. So be ware, we are ready to stand up again your brand of foolin, it just don't gown like a half a cup of spit, as you all once said. As for the Ozarks you all speak only for your neck of the woods. Us Ozarkians here do things different up here. Where did I put my rope, we got a hog to strangle on over ta ridge. Peace uall. justme |
