Subject: Hank - Doctrine from God or Man ? |
Bible Note: Ok Brad: Thanks for your honesty !! Look at Math. 15 and Mark 7 (paralell passgaes) and Acts 10 - 11. Determine if you think that from these texts that Jesus/God has cleansed all meat. Remembering that God clearly established in Lev. 11 what animals were unclean (example pig). You can also look at Is. 65:4 to see waht angers God !!!! Also look at Daniel 1 to see why Daniel did not want to defile his body. You would agree that in the NT we are are told our bodies are the "temple of God". If God required only "clean" animal sacrifices in OT would it make logical sense in the NT that God would change what He designated to be unclean to now be clean. Is there any ripture in the NT where we see either Jesus or one of His disciples eating a unclean piece of meat ??? This same principle of arguement used for holding we are still required to be obedient to God's diet, can be used to show we are still to recognize God's Sabbath. Remember we are to follow God and not man. Look forward to what your conclusion is !! Merv |
