Bible Note: Ah,the point! The point is simple: The verse isn't saying what many people think it says. a) It isn't talking about dietary laws. And when today's scientists tell you that a vege diet is better for you and that just so happens to be what God laid out (plus fruit and nuts and grains) then why should I say that neither knows what they are talking about? b) The verse isn't talking about the seventh-day Sabbath either. It is talking about the believers being judged on their feasting and fast (as the case may be) on the days that then follow. Secondly, I just found out that my file had been clipped and so I fixed it. I shared part of what had been clipped assuming that others who are interested in studying the Bible would also be interested in what I found. Of course, we all know how dangerous it is to assume--but then agian, hope springs eternal, right? |
