Subject: Why did God test Adam and Eve ? |
Bible Note: Hi Beseder: Yes Rom. 14 is an area of debate on its context and meaning. I believe the context is about the uncleanliness of food due to idol sacrifices. And the sabbaths talked about are the ceremonial sabbaths that were added by God to point them to Christs coming and His replacement of the sacrificial laws which included keeping these aditional sabbaths. The unclean meat was laid out to Gods people after the flood. The Sabbath was created in the beginning and has been followed since creation. Romans 14 has nothing to due with giving permission to eat unclean meat which God says defiles the body and is an abomination. The esteemed unclean meat had to with idol contamination. Since the meat was offered to idols it was esteemed to now be unclean. But Paul says and idol is nothing so the Christians were not to judge one another on this issue. Also, the 7th Day Sabbath is not the subject in Romans 14. Instead it is the additional sabbath feast which the Christians should not judge each other on. Look forward to your reply, Swerv |
