Bible Note: Hello Merv, 1) Gal. 2 says nothing about circumcision being a reason. Why would Gentile Christians be eating only clean foods? That would place them under the Law which is the very thing Paul opposes in the entire book of Galatians. Also, Paul scolds Peter for wanting to lead the Gentiles to live like Jews (verse 14)--i.e. being under any part of the Law. 2) "With reference to our Mark 7 passage the jewish laws said you were considered unclean unless you wash you hands before you eat. I do not understand what is so hard to understand about that." Thank you for making my point! There is no commandment to do this. The Pharisees and elders of the people made it up. Steve |
