Bible Question:
Words of Wisdom from Morant61: "In a debate, it is useful if you respond to the points that the other side makes." Regarding my Note "The law cannot be altogether invalid...", I have repeatedly asked: "If you disagree with any of the following, could you quote at least some of the part(s) you disagree with and tell why you disagree"? In other words, please directly address the points I have made. Instead of repeating a general statement you previously made, tell me specifically what is wrong with the points I've made. This question continues to remain unanswered. I am disappointed. |
Bible Answer: The old laws included things not eaten. Only things with split hoofs and cuds were to be considered "clean". The New Testament (Jesus in fact) says that nothing that enters into a man can defile him but what comes out will defile him. The old laws say eye for an eye, but Jesus says if a man smite you on your right cheek turn to him your left also. The old laws say love your neighbour but Jesus says "love your enemies as well, for if you love only those who love you what reward have you?" |
