Subject: Hank - Diet ??? |
Bible Note: Hello Merv, "The scriptural evidence is in Lev. / Deut." Precisely, therefore nobody in Genesis was bound to it. "Although they did not have the sacrificial system as the people of Israel but they obviously had been instructed by God as to what he wanted done to show atonement for there sin." This is an assumption. (BTW, I don't disagree, I just bring this up as a statement of fact. It's unprovable.) "The law that governed atonement for sin was the 'law of sacrifices and offerings' or 'ceremonial law' or 'law of Moses'." If I understand what you wrote then: law of sacrifices equals ceremonial law equals law of Moses. I cannot agree with that. The law of Moses is everything given to Moses, not just a part. "God wrote the 10 commandments with His own finger." Twice even. What patience! "The Mosaic law which listed the sacrificial laws was written by Moses and inspired by God. The covenant with Israel was made to the entire people therefore they needed a law to govern them all. God dealt with the people prior to Sinai on a individual basis. The laws to Israel were specific to Israel that is why God took away the sacrificial laws at the cross and are not binding on the Gentile or Jewish Christians now." Agreed. :-) But I would ask why you only include the sacrificial laws. There were others regarding disease, dress, hygiene, etc. Were any of these put away as well? "But the diet is given to man not Israel." I partially agree. God gave Adam, Noah, and Moses dietary laws. Those to Adam and Noah would be to all men. The one to Moses could only be for Israel.
