Hello Merv, By your reasoning then, we should all convert to vegeterian in order to serve the Lord longer. You go first. I have never seen a law before that given by Moses where a sacrifice was required to atone for sin. Could you give me chapter and verse on that please, since you seem to know it. What I do see is that sacrifices were given for both sin and worship. But again, I don't see a law. No verse says that Peter sat down and had pork for dinner. True enough. But when a fellow apostle says you're living like a Gentile (he doesn't say Gentile Christian), then I'm convinced because a typical Gentile eats unclean meat. And what were the Gentiles commanded to do? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Nothing more was required. Steve |

Steve: "nothing more was required" -- Jesus forgave the adulteress woman - yes - Humm - did Jesus not also say "go and sin no more".. Is this not something God "required". 1 John 5:2 and 1 John 2:6 and Math. 19:17 I guess these verse mean something other than a "requirement" by God to obey His commandments. Repenting is one thing but the evidence of a repentant heart is to "do" what God "requires". Very plain and clear !!!! BUT DONE IN LOVE !!!!! NOT LEGALISM !!!! Law cannot "save" only Jesus's blood saves. Keeping law shows our "love for God" and not love for the flesh. Yes, I think being a vegetarian is a good idea - considering what I have leanned from scripture !! Does not mean we cannot eat clean meat but God is pretty clear how these clean animals were to be killed and free from blood. Not many of us raise our own animals to be able to ensure they are killed and clean properly. Most Christians do not even understand the reason to why God did not want us to eat blood - cause blood was used to atone for sins !!! Blood represented life !!! Yes you are right no specific laws stated to sacrifice for sins. Also no specific law stated to keep law prior to exit from Egypt. But did every conversation get recorded in the OT. No. But God clearly without refute created a 7th day, rested on it, and sanctified it. Abel shed blood through the little lamb - Cain did not. Only through shedding of blood is the remission of sin. Again the actual blood of the lamb di not atone for Abel's sins but the faith that His son was coming to fulfill the shadow of that little lamb was what made Abel righteous. Do you think they were sheeding lambs blood cause God liked the sight of killing innocent lambs and seeing there blood flow over the alter. Silence does not justify - avoiding the obvious. No command given to worship or keep a "new"day but the majority insist the "new" day of worship and rest is the 1st day. You cannot assume Peter ate unclean meat. He did not do it when God specifically commanded him do to so. Why would he be eating it with Gentiles if he would not even do it when God commanded him to eat it in the vision. Logic !! Merv |

Hello Merv, We are not discussing the woman taken in adultery. Please stay on topic. "Repenting is one thing but the evidence of a repentant heart is to 'do' what God 'requires'. Very plain and clear !!!!" Amen. Again you argue from what is not written. Perhaps if you stayed with what is clearly written, you might learn. Steve |

Steve: Adultery and repentance have everything to refute your arguement that God does not require obedience. Obedience is a reflection of our love. True repentance brings a heart in allignment with God and his law a principles to live a health, long life for Him. Short but sweet !! Merv |
